In the streets below the driverless cars and buses
slid soundlessly up to the sidewalk. The passengers surging into the stores
mingled with those exiting through the revolving doors. A small child in the
crowd stopped, looked up and waved, stirring in the watcher an eccentric
emotion, an instruction to respond.
Behind, a metallic voice said. "They consume
everything. They are draining the planet. Are we agreed?"
The robot at the window whirred softly as it turned
from the window to face the others. "Yes, the humanoids no longer serve a
purpose." It said in a voice devoid of any emotion.
