[UA] Sleeper cover-up

"I don't think the Sleepers would get involved with a
murder. Unless the victim died by repeatedly falling
to death inside his house by gravity going wonky."

Depends on what caused the PCs to blow up a house.  Perhaps
the PC entropomancer used his blast quite a few times, and
they don't want people to freak out on the intricate cuts
on the victim's skin.  Perhaps the smashed a clockwork with
pieces that wouldn't raise suspicion if only the cloth and
wooden portions weren't burned away.  Maybe there is a
video library with things that would smack the sleeping
tiger in the face, and they want to make sure all the tapes
are burned.

I could see a lot of possibilities on why the Sleepers
would be interested in a murder, especially if it involved
a duke.

"I do suggest you other players pick up a police
procedure manual and check it out. Arrest rights,
Miranda rights, arraignments, bail hearings, trials
etc."

This would be very good.  One problem I had with running UA
was trying to have things work in today's society.  Maybe I
should insist on a cliomancer PC in order to have a hand in
keeping the PCs out of trouble.  

That's a problem with many modern games, and it should be
examined at length by any serious GM.
