...That's a fucked up story. Like...all of that. See! See, that's the thing! You start making mechanical people...you gotta acknowledge that they're people. And you sure as shit don't build more mechanical people to hunt those down. This is why I don't allow any kind of AI tech in robots! Once they start getting self aware and achieving independent consciousness...now you've got lives you're responsible for.

[Jack sighs. He's focusing on one specific part of the story here.]

Eh, dig a little bit into local legends and shit, you'll find some weird dark stuff. Plus apparently the world broke one time? I wasn't here for that. I saw a bunch of the damage though! Holy shit, Goldenrod was a mess. It's how I got a nice house cheap, the neighborhood was half crater at the time. All fixed up now, though.

[Not that it matters much, the house is basically empty. Just him now. God damn, his life is sad. How did this happen?]

Huh? Oh, no, no, Hyperion was around before I came along. I signed on with'em when I was practically a kid, worked my way up from an entry level position to running the whole show. I took a good company and made it great. We do pretty much everything in the high tech arena. Robots, obviously, lotta robots. Guns - fancy designer stuff. Security systems, luxury items, cars, spaceships, appliances... Hyperion makes everything to make your life comfortable, safe, and easy!
