“See what I mean?”
“Ok. So you had a dream about this place. Tell me.”
“Well, [ahem] it’s the second one I’ve had. But they’re both the same. They start out that I’m in here. But it’s not day or night. It’s kinda half night, y’know? But it looks like this except for the light. And I’m scared like I can’t tell ya. Of all people, you’re standing right over there, by that counter. You’re in both dreams and you’re scared. I get even more frightened when I see how afraid you are, and then I realize what it is. Behind this place, there’s a group. It’s the Dorset Reality Group. They’re the ones who are doing it. I can see them through the wall. I can see their faces. I hope that I never see their faces outside a dream.”
“You know that Townsend is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Dorset Reality Group. It’s like their showroom. The FIELD, any simulations, it’s all courtesy of them.”
“Holy shit. No wonder everything is so fucked-up.”
“You’re telling me. Here, I’ll show you. Look at this. I have a copy of one o’their contracts.”
“How’d you get that?”
“Don’t worry bout it. See? They’ve been around since 1975.”
“Whoa. That’s so weird.”
“I know. What were they doing back then?”
“Research and development?”
“I guess so.”

“Ethics of the Reality Board my ass.”
“Yeah, they’re probably like, ‘A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.’”
“Right. ‘A robot must obey orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.’”
“HAHHAHAHaaaa. Heh.”
