Congrats, the description sounds like a good mystery! It'd be interesting to read more about the tooling and process you used, even if you don't release everything open, maybe you could write/blog about it?

I was also looking if there was a Wikipedia page about Software Engineers/Programmers who were also fiction writers. I know Andy Weir from Martian was a programmer. I thought Neal Stephenson would have some background in programming, but looks like he never wrote software professionally.
