     Trevor watched a couple cars rolling along the street, but he saw no pedestrians.

     "It must be, like, really early in the morning," Trevor said.

     They saw a screen on every block, and every screen had the same image.

     "Fuck, I thought we took care of that cunt last year," Niki said. "She's back?"

     "Like a weed."

     "We give you food to eat, comfortable homes to live in, and what is the only thing we ask in return?" the mechanical man bellowed. "Only your silly, outdated governments and whatever freedoms you may think you have left." 

     "That's not asking too much now, is it?"

     "Great," Niki said. "Just what we need, another megalomaniacal asshole."
