What would you do if your secretly held inventory of neutered AI-driven Humanoids was not so secret, and not so neutered when threatened? Hank faces a dilemma, and any move he makes carries lethal consequences. The covert assassinations in DC and Camp Leary were no longer covert. What were his options? Leave the research team and […]
