    "Things? These are the most advanced androids I''ve ever developed. Nearly indestructible, almost sentient … 5D chamber printable within minutes."


    "I know your sales pitch, Jason. You''ve sold thousands. But I''m concerned."

    "They''re equipped with paralyzers and forcefields."


    "Uh, yah …" Jason looked away.


    "What''s going on? You can tell me."


    "All right, but keep this to yourself." He projected a holographic chart. "You see that spike in violent crime?"


    She nodded.
