- You read Monday's paper and find that it contains nothing much of interest
- except for one story:
-
- IPHS HEAD REFUSES TO SPEAK -- "I AIN'T TALKING"
-
- Lortan City (IPP) -- Harold Werdt, enigmatic head of the InterPlanetary Human
- Simulations corporation refuses to speak to the press or police about the theft
- of IPHS's most promising product, the IP-39 android prototype. He also refuses
- to release information about a security guard missing after the theft of the
- machine from IPHS HQ not long ago. Another security guard was slain in the
- battle over the machine.
-
- City Law Enforcement claims that the android could have escaped on its own, and
- was not the subject of a theft by a rival firm, as Werdt insists.
-
- Robert MacCumhaill, head of Amalgamated Automatons, the planet's largest
- robotics manufacturer, says that the IP-39 is "remarkable" and he "would pay
- dearly to be able to produce one, or something similar."
