I kinda like the idea of a detective super computer.
For a cool thing it could do, perhaps changelings could leave a small hair sample, of the last known identity they had when they absorbed the person. (this means that the changeling will have to absorb multiple people, destroy bodies, or change identities often if a husk is found)
It would take a while for the detective computer to process, but it would allow security to get a leap on changelings a bit faster and make the detective a bit more useful for more then just the gun.
The hair sample wouldn't be complete, and would require a scan through every entry in the database for limiting the number of suspects which would give the changeling time to get a new identity if they knew detective was on to them, or even set a trap and absorb the detective to send everyone on a goose chase by faking results.
Basically make Husks a bit more valuable than just "hey everyone a changeling was on the station", while still giving changelings some room to absorb dudes.
