Smart, 34-page story set in the 2040s about Cu a Chimpanzee that was used in the development and testing of an illegal intelligence enhancement who is now working as a detective - the only one of her kind. It's a noir meets speculative fiction meets a lesson that tech doesn't necessarily save us nor itself.
