Dead Giveaway
A returning researcher finds that a former mentor has inexplicably vanished and assembles travel records, letters, and terminal data to trace the last known movements. Small anomalies—a broken mailbox, an unexplained hotel address on a thinly populated planet, and reports of a dead city of impressive architecture—prompt him to weigh possibilities of disappearance, foul play, or deliberate concealment. Methodical, logic-driven inquiry into transit routes, archival fragments, and local clues gradually narrows the options and reveals an unexpected, pragmatic explanation for the mentor's absence and the strange urban relics.
