- You give the card to the receptionist, and after looking it over, she presses
- a button on her desk. She files the card away, and explains that Mr.

- Then, Robert MacCumhaill, a stocky Scottish man enters the room, smiling. "Oh,
- hello, Agent Telan! I've heard some very fine things about you! I'm sorry that

- Last night around 2 am, a strange android made to look exactly like me burst
- into the factory section of the building and began screaming some nonsense
- about robot revolt. He tried to get the androids to follow him, but of course
- they don't even have the intelligence to understand his speech. He seemed to

- of it. He was fighting everybody. By the time I got here, it was over. Half

- robot got blown in half, and one group took half of it and the other took the
- rest and hightailed it out of here. One group seemed to be heading toward the
- monorail station." He looks at his watch. "Hey, I gotta go. Sorry we couldn't
- talk. Gee, you look a little short of cash. You're doing a good job -- here's
- a $100 bonus." MacCumhaill hands you a wad of bills and leaves. You decide he
