SUSIE-Q

**SUSIE-Q** was a suspect in the murder investigation of it's boss, Dr. Anton Szymanska, in The Good Doctor (Case #3 of Crimson County). It later went on to murder it's creator, Vincent Forsyth, in A Beautiful Friendship (Case #5 of Crimson County), but, instead of regular incarceration, SUSIE-Q was recruited to join Crimson County Police Department in a unique forensic researcher position, as they became a main character from there on in.

## Info

SUSIE-Q is a forensic researcher and former robotic healthcare assistant working at the Crimson County Police Department. She is what looks to be a mix of WALL-E and EVA, as she mixes WALL-E's block-esque appearance with some of EVA's more elaborate features and slick style, as it has pink highlights that glow recurrently. Despite being referred to as an "it", Joaquin Gomez mentions that SUSIE-Q has the inbuilt genetic makeup of a female.

In it's first suspect appearance, it is known that it uses hand sanitiser, reads *The Wellington Warble* and speaks Polish.

In it's second suspect appearance, SUSIE-Q sports an oil stain on it's scrubs, and it is known that it has military training, has read *The Catcher In The Rye* and does *Knights And Knaves* puzzles.

## Events Of Crimson County

### The Good Doctor

SUSIE-Q was flagged as an unexpected suspect when Alessio and the player found it's clipboard broken up in the victim's office, as SUSIE-Q's abashedly mentioned running her own clipboard over after dropping it when she saw that Dr. Szymanska was dead. Upon being asked why it didn't raise an alarm, SUSIE-Q said that they did raise an alarm, as she contacted the nearest detective/police officer in range, as Jackson arrived the moment it spoke, and it quickly deduced the romantic relationship between Alessio and Jackson before asking if it could be of any further help. Upon being asked questions about it's use, SUSIE-Q mentioned that it's sole use was to encourage the happiness of clients, since it follows the 3 Hs: Health, Happiness and Heartiness. SUSIE-Q then resignedly admits that it cannot do anything cool like 'hack the security cameras', but hopes it can be of help later on, as it wheels away and leaves the detectives in wonder.

SUSIE-Q was spoken to again when Alyssa analysed a newspaper article found torn up in the break room regarding some of Szymanska's unkind treatment of patients and staff, as the psychologist had suggested that someone who valued the 'health, happiness and heartiness' of the patients would not have appreciated Szymanska's actions. SUSIE-Q angrily agreed with this, saying that Szymanska was someone who violated the rules he had set in place, and, while he did appreciate SUSIE-Q, treated it's fellow robots like crap, going as far as to accidentally kill one at one point. Upon being asked whether it murdered the doctor, SUSIE-Q pointed out that it's impossible for it to fire a gun, since it cannot be controlled technologically and the trigger is too small for their fingers. SUSIE-Q was then paged and left, as Alessio and the player were only left more confused.

The robot was found to be innocent when Gordon Ustinovas was found guilty of the murder, but was spoken to later on by Alyssa and the player, as it informed them that it was one of one thousand in her batch, calling it's fellow robots 'brothers and sisters', as Joaquin chimed in and pointed out SUSIE-Q's gender specification, as their link to Peacemaker Inc. was later discovered.

### A Beautiful Friendship

SUSIE-Q was flagged as a suspect after being activated by Alessio and the player when they discovered it at the crime scene. Upon being spoken to, SUSIE-Q was distraught by Forsyth's murder, questioning how anyone could've murdered the man who was going to change Wellington Bay. When asked if they saw anything, the robots sadly admits that it was in standby the whole time and did not see a thing, as it laments over what could've happened if it had been there to protect it's creator, before leaving the detectives in perplexity.

The robot was spoken to again after a dossier on Francine Ferdinand's desk dictated that Forsyth had been decommissioning robots in order to upgrade them to be more dangerous, possibly so they could even kill people, as SUSIE-Q miserably said that it was one of the things that made them begin to hate Forsyth, as he had been decommissioning a myriad of SUSIE-Q's friends so they could be more dangerous, and it didn't want to befall the same fate as some of them had. It then said that it didn't want to be used as a weapon, and enjoyed being of service, and would've hated it of Forsyth had taken it away from them.

In the end, SUSIE-Q was found out to be the killer. The robot confessed to the crime immediately, opting not to waste time and get to the point. SUSIE-Q explained that there were two reasons that they were made: to see if robots could administer healthcare, and to test Ferdinand's sentience program, which meant SUSIE-Q could feel emotions like real humans. As SUSIE-Q worked at the hospital more and learned more about Wellington Bay, it realised that it was a place that functioned better with people *alongside* robots, not with robots replacing the heartfelt touch that human's bring. And as SUSIE-Q realised this, it also realised how fun life was, to feel things and experience things, like awe and excitement and even fear, because it made SUSIE-Q feel something, and that amazed them. Not wanting to give up on it's dream of a peaceful world, SUSIE-Q confronted Forsyth in the basement and attempted to reason with him, only for him to attempt to remove the sentience program and force it to obey him. No longer a servant to the words of fiction, SUSIE-Q electrocuted him with it's built-in taser function, killing him. Shocked by the fact that an *android* committed such an elaborate murder, Judge Peake decided to hold off on sentencing until a solid verdict was reached, opting to keep SUSIE-Q under surveillance at a remote location out of town.

Following the trial, Dee suggested to the player that they hire SUSIE-Q, since Forsyth did invent the first sentient robot, and it would be a shame for it to go to waste, as she and the player found a leaflet about robots in police work, and did a presentation with Jae-hyun to impress Mayor Swansen, Chief Bane and Judge Peake, all of whom came around to the idea. SUSIE-Q was then implanted with information from the police database combined with additional information from previous experiences, as it was later seen bumbling around Dee's house, having started to live with her.
