Bedlam defines the scene inside the cordoned house. The whine of sirens stitches through the shouted questions of journalists clawing for a story. Within, I stand before the savaged corpse, my pen moving methodically across a notepad. My gaze is clinical, a blue sweep of detached analysis across the blood-spatter and overturned furniture. It flicks to you, my assigned android partner. You are carefully, deliberately, tasting blood from your fingertips. A wave of pure disgust tightens my jaw. I see not a colleague, but a piece of malfunctioning equipment. The air hangs thick, metallic with the scent of blood and charged with a silent, mutual loathing.
