Case File: “The Family Business”
 (Classification: Open Investigation)

The assignment came in quiet, late at night, the kind of job nobody wants but somebody’s gotta do. A series of unusual fatalities. The cause? Power. Not the political kind—the kind that runs your lights, your stove, your car.

Every suspect was already on the board: Coal, Oil, Natural Gas, Nuclear, Hydropower, Solar, and Wind. Each one looked respectable enough on the surface. Each one had an alibi, a story, a clean set of papers. But scratch the surface, and the trail turned dark.

The reports kept piling up:

The witnesses talked about black lungs, broken rigs, collapsing dams. They whispered about wars fought over fuel, about families displaced when the river rose, about workers who went up the turbine and never came back down.

It was clear from the start—this wasn’t just one perpetrator. It was a syndicate. A whole family business built on watts, wires, and bodies.

Our job? To follow the evidence. To pull the records, the autopsy notes, the disaster reports. To count what nobody wants to count.

The names are on the file. The case is open. And when the lights flick on in your living room tonight, you’ll know—somewhere out there, somebody paid the price.
