SEND IN THE CLONES

"Dave-R-EGP-1, RED clearance," Dave answered quickly, giving the friendly guardbot a big smile.

The Guardbot turns from Dave-R-EGP to Will-O-WSP

the light turns red

Name, Clearance, Have you witnessed or committed any recent treason?

"I'll pick..." Brett thinks for a moment. "413."

I stood in the corner happily humming the new song when the Guard bot turn from Dave to me. Startled, I immediate fall into a strange silence. "Will-O-WSP, orange clearance" I stand very still and then add "Orange by great kindness of Friend Computer". Looking around and the at the bot "treason here? No, nope, nothing. 🎶 Everyone is happy. Everyone is clean. Everything is awesome 🎶 pointing at the light at the top of the "fishing" rod. "Is this the new Fancy Light Assisted RadioEmmiter? A FLARE like that must be up to a few thousand credits". I stare as the light and quickly add "Good to see Friend computer spares no resources in keeping us safe from those commies I look sideways at Brett-R-WYD-1

The guardbot's light turns from red to orange

You have selected to increase the ISO/Brightness/CPU/RAM/Memory/Future incrypto-settings to 413.

The image of FRIEND COMPUTER begins to look SUPER BRIGHT and WASHED OUT

WARNING. YOU HAVE EXCEDED THE OUTER LIGHTING PARAMETER SETTINGS BY 7!

The multicorder begins to feel warm in your hand.

you hear the sound of an internal fan being activated.

A tiny warning light begins flashing.

Would you like to continue with Picture Styles?

I stare at the light changing to Orange very quietly with a childish expression...

"Oh my! Yes, I would like to continue with Picture Styles! I choose... 350 as the value for Picture Styles! Sorry about that, Friend Computer!"

I think I heard you say you would like to lower the PICTURE STYLES value to 350. Is that correct?

The multicorder is now becoming hot.

An alarm begins to sound from the device.

It starts to smoke.

The guardbot turns to Brett-R-WYD-1, silence your device

Brett is bathed in orange light.

"Yes! That's correct!" Brett says frantically.

I'm going to move as far away from that dangerous mutant Brett-R-WYD-1 and secretly ask the Wyatt-R-VSC-1 how long does he thinks it will take for Friend computer to "correct" that mistake, winking. (Since he seems to like numbers)

"Correct that multicorder before you kill us all!"

ATTENTION: Lowering the PICTURE STYLES VALUE below the RECOMMENDED SETTINGS VALUE may affect the CONTRAST LEVELS in the light allowance aperture. Are you sure you want to continue?

Citizen Brett-R-WYD.
RED Clearance.

You notice the cone of orange around you.

THE ZONE YOU OCCUPY IS BEYOND YOUR CLEARANCE LEVEL.

The guardbot raises his weapon. You hear the unmistakable sound of a very large weapon warming up.

A second alarm begins to sound from the multicorder

The ALPHA COMPLEX DANDY muzak enters it's second refrain.

the other corner of the elevator? (or moving from next to Brett to the other corner, I gave him tooth paste before)

Still next to the friendly guardbot after moving next to it to interrogate Brett.
