#1 rule of detectives: Don't fall in love with a suspect

Amid civil unrest and unusual dust storms, twenty volunteer aid workers have disappeared in the slums of a mining colony on the planet of Simoom, including the long lost lover of Security Officer Vestra Gwir. Torn by guilt and heartbreak, Vestra vows to find the truth and bring the culprits to justice. But her world is upended and her beliefs undone when she's put in charge of interrogating terrorist suspect Ann Harmony. 

Ann's fragile appearance belies a steely interior. Day after day she provides only cryptic answers, and warnings about a red dust that seems to have a mind of its own. In a battle of wills, Vestra has met her match in Ann, and little by little as Ann tells her story, Vestra begins to realize guilt and innocence is not easy to define.

Inextricably entangled now, Vestra must unravel the truth behind the disappearances not only to avenge her old love, but to save her new love. If only the dust would stop swirling.All Rights Reserved

You will find one who is prideful and vain, one who has become sick with that which he craves, one whose desires will control his aims, one who resents that which he cannot attain, one who consumes more than which he's ordained, one who disregards love for rage, and one who does little for those in aid.

In the end, Amara must decide whether she can forgive herself and embrace the chance to rebuild her life. As things continue to come to light, she must confront the darkest parts of herself.

Turing Test by chicavara

In the year 2150, emotions are a forgotten language. Feelings, outlawed. Humanity, reduced to an unfeeling, cold existence under the iron rule of The Regimen. But deep in the monochrome labyrinth of this dystopian world, a glitch emerges in the matrix of perfection. Cora, a brilliant government engineer responsible for maintaining the emotion-suppressing technology, experiences an unexpected malfunction. Suddenly, she is overwhelmed by a wave of foreign sensations - emotions. An all-consuming vortex of joy, fear, anger, and a deep-seated love for her fellow engineer, Eli. In a world stripped of color, Eli is an enigma. A member of a burgeoning underground rebellion, he hides a powerful secret - a genetic mutation that makes him immune to emotion suppressants. Eli has known the pain and pleasure of feelings all his life. Now, he becomes Cora's compass in her chaotic new reality, guiding her through the wild storm of emotions and introducing her to a hidden world fighting for emotional freedom. Cora and Eli are drawn together by a bond neither can explain, a shared emotional journey that stands in quiet defiance against The Regimen's frigid rule. As Cora navigates the thrilling highs and devastating lows of human emotion, a choice looms - return to a life devoid of feelings, or risk everything for the rebellion and the tantalizing promise of emotional freedom. --------------- A 10 part series

He believes in the small town they have populated and its mission to save humanity from extinction. He and his small team of men find scattered people and bring them in.
