Yes, it it inconsistent. Rachael is not supposed to know she’s a 
replicant, so she doesn’t have any particular re****ting duties beyond 
those that humans have. If she doesn’t show up for work and doesn’t call 
in, she’s neglecting her contractual duties, but normally, you don’t get 
a death mark for that, so it happens. And, as mentioned, she readily 
does answer the phone.

I think, too, that the bystanders are not necessarily aware that the 
person killed is a replicant. First, they simply try to keep out of the 
trouble, then, when the Police arrives, they see that the killer 
obviously can give a valid reason to them, so they pass without any care.
