March of The Machines.

There was a part that meshed directly with the "firmware" portion of POI's Machine. Law offices, prosecutor and defender divisions are now commonly using analytical computers to research cases and collect evidence in the "discovery" phase. How much you want to bet that The Machine already is looking in on every single one of these systems to tell who's being investigated...and who's doing the investigating? Maybe even to recruit potential future assets?

Out here in the sticks, disconnection is a frequent reality. I don't have mobile or high-speed, so there have been times when I've been unavailable for days. BTW, it isn't the cold sweats I worry about...it's the transformation to Mr. Hyde.
