How did it go down?
Warden: Hey Robo, I got a problem that only you can solve.
Everett: (Pulls greasy hands out of a mech, wiping them on apron) What’s the matter chief?
Warden: I got paralysis, what can you do to fix me up?
Everett: Well, I failed outta med school, but I could try my hand at a lobotomy. It can’t be that hard now, can it? How many credits you got? We don’t run a charity this side of the station you know.
–5 minutes later –
Illegal wiretap of a phone call between Everett and Research Director:
Everett: Hey Boss, we gotta problem.
RD: What happened?
Everett: You know the warden?
RD: Edwards? He’s a good man, why?
Everett: Well, he came into robo, wanted to get some augs done for enhanced performance, south of the border if you know what I mean. Something happened, I think he’s blind now.
RD: You fucked up Everett.
Everett: I know I did. But what are we gonna do with him?
RD: There ain’t nothing we can do. Sedate him, strip him, and throw him in maint. Wear gloves. Hopefully we can pin this on an assistant. Just another mugging gone wrong.
Everett: You got it chief.
