Dive into the vast expanse of space aboard the Starline, the galaxy's most luxurious cruise ship, where the stars aren't the only things hiding secrets. In our premiere episode, "A Cosmic Conundrum," we introduce Alex Rennick, a wise-cracking, trench coat-wearing robot detective with a penchant for old Earth detective novels and a knack for getting into trouble. When a routine trip to Europa turns into anything but, Alex finds himself entangled in a mystery that could change the course of humanity's future among the stars. After receiving an anonymous tip, Alex is thrust into the center of a perplexing case—the untimely and suspicious death of Mara Jensen, a brilliant engineer with a secret that could shake the Starline to its core. With the help of his GoBot companion, a floating repository of sass and surveillance, Alex navigates the ship's social strata, from the glittering upper decks to the shadowy underbelly, unearthing clues, dodging danger, and, occasionally, attending a painting class featuring the nebulae of the Draco system. But when Lila Santos, Alex's ex-girlfriend and a cyber-sleuth with her own agenda, reveals that Mara's death is just the tip of the asteroid, the duo embarks on a race against time to unravel a plot that spans the galaxy. From secretive meetings to sabotaged systems, every discovery leads them deeper into a conspiracy that could endanger the lives of everyone on board. Featuring a cast of quirky characters, from the enigmatic Captain Helena Barrow to the disgraced former security officer Jax Harrow, "A Cosmic Conundrum" is a whirlwind tour of the future, where humor meets suspense in the vacuum of space. So, strap in and activate your language buds for a cruise through the cosmos you won't soon forget. It's a case where the stakes are as infinite as the universe itself, and the only thing more unpredictable than the next clue is Alex's sense of humor. Welcome to "Murder in the Milky Way," where the mysteries are as vast as the universe and just as dark. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/murderinthemilkyway/message
