Yeah I wrote this with that world in my mind. Glad you enjoyed. I would love to hear it, if you do get some time. I know how tight time can get sometimes.

@ ROU
I may have to put some thought into that and come up with the origins of the robots in this world.

Yesterday was a long day...

It has been Thursday for so long. I have survived off vending machine food and SoBe Lifewater. No one else seems to notice.
