	“That shouldn't be a problem---your new exoskin has seam lines at the shoulders and hips. Not ~~noticable~~ during day to day activity, obviously, but ~~noticable~~ to one with a trained eye and a scalpel such as the one I'm holding right now---and yes, Grace, I'll get to you before your night shift starts!” The blonde gynoid mouthed “I didn't even say anything” as Vicki tried to fight back a laugh.		“That shouldn't be a problem---your new exoskin has seam lines at the shoulders and hips.

	As was always the case when the Baron chose to take his tea in the wake of receiving bad news, Celine had a choice to make: interrupt his contemplative moment and risk earning his wrath now, or ~~withold~~ the even worse news she'd just received and face a probable DeComm on the spot.

	Even as she expressed her gratitude for not having been brought into ~~existance~~ in a building like the Carmack Foundry, Pria Bishop still hated a lot about her life. She'd been built in Oregon by a company that no longer even existed, with the intention of being a “paid companion”---a fancy term for sexbot. Had fate (and the ALPA) not intervened when they did, she would've spent her years giving geriatrics and frat boys lap dances and having to shove them off before they tried anything “funny” with her....but instead, the man in white and the man in grey had shown up, flashed badges to the club's owner and escorted Pria out to a waiting Rolls Royce that sped her off to....somewhere.

	If it offended the metal-skinned android, he didn't show it. “'Bloody Valentine'.....a fitting name.
