				I found a fun two step solution assuming I truly understand the info provided by Keith and Asellus.

#1: Almost Sue de Coq (12369)b8c5; r9c6<>9*, r1c5<>1
 
 ab=(126)r56c5 with fin (3)r56c5
 
cd=(39)r8c6
 
If SdC is true: r1c5<>1, r9c6<>39
 
If fin is true: (3)r56c5-r4c6=r4c9-r9c9=r8c8-(3=*9)r8c6-r13c6=(9-1)r1c5; 
 
 
#2: (1)r7c5=(1)r6c5-(1=4)r6c4-aur(56)r56c67[(4)r6c6=(8)r6c7]-(8=6)r6c8=(6=18)r2c86-(1)r2c7=r89c7; r7c8<>1=7
 
 
[Edit:I returned to this puzzle looking for another solution and found an almost skyscraper that matched the resultant code of the almost SdC even though the two steps had different initial deletions. Interesting but maybe not surprising......
 
 
almost skyscraper(3)r6c58 with fin(3)r5c5; r9c9<>3
 
If fin is true (3)r5c5-r4c6=r4c9;]
