The White Verdict

You are the operations deputy on an Everest expedition whose equipment auditor dies above the Icefall. At first the death looks like altitude and bad hardware. Then oxygen counts fail, weather data disappears, and the only safe route down is cut away. There is a saboteur in the team. By the time that truth becomes unavoidable, the group is committed high on the mountain with a storm inbound. Every choice spends oxygen, time, trust, evidence, or a life. You can expose the killer and lose the team, save the team and lose the case, reach the summit over bodies, retreat into uncertainty, die proving the truth, or leave nobody alive to tell it.
