“Ms. Fatiyyah Saqqaf, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” It was Damon introducing himself. He had the coldest and most emotionless greeting ever. I wondered if he suffered from alexithymia.

“Yes, it’s good to let my automaton acumen reach different avenues. So, where do I start?”
“We wanted to know more about your BLK series when it came to getting additional labor.” Damon noted.
I thought it was an innocent business deal as I did a demonstration with these robots picking up heavy objects and being obedient to my commands.
Their programming had to have been altered sometime after that.
