	Still laughing the misunderstanding off Beverly went on, “No, really! I’m the IT Director, here let me show you…” Beverly reached towards her briefcase on the far side of the desk to fish out her ID.		Still laughing the misunderstanding off Beverly went on, “No, really!

	“Please sit still.” The polite words were not unkindly spoken, the man quite liked this android after all; but, having consented to be serviced, Beverly now found her body obeyed immediately. He popped the tech refresh pod into her computer and waited for the splash screen to open. Only now did the android woman seem to ~~realise~~ her predicament, “No, wait, you really are making a mistake! I assure I’m really not supposed to be reprogrammed, please just wait a moment! If you check....”		“Please sit still.” The polite words were not unkindly spoken, the man quite liked this android after all; but, having consented to be serviced, Beverly now found her body obeyed immediately.

I assure I’m really not supposed to be reprogrammed, please just wait a moment! If you check....”

	Beverly simply stopped as the Tech Refresh window opened and the progress bar crawled across the screen. “…my ID you’ll see.” She looked in dismay at the screen as the technician clicked through the menus as he had with all of her office ‘bots before. “Please, you’re really not supposed to refresh me…” She was annoyed to see a couple of error icons flash across the screen after her earlier interrupted words.

	“Oh no way! That sucks when people think they can just plug you in on the street…” The androids chatted while the men unpacked their drone bot, piling up more cables, tools and software pods on the desks to link up more of the pretty robot workers.		“Oh no way!

	Beverley explained how she had quite naturally refused to let the police officer plunder her digital mind right there on the street; she had flashed her blue edged ID showing her TT Score to be well above the critical fifty points making “her” a legally registered AI. Rather than go to the trouble of summoning her as a formal e-witness the officer had simply scanned the crowd for other androids. He had let Beverly carry on into the office complex while he connected two other passing girls to his patrol console. Clearly they had been machines without the legally ~~recognised~~ and very expensive spark of artificial “self” that was designed into Beverly. They had glared at her retreating figure as the officer shut them down for data probing and the android relating the story finished with the remark that if their owners had invested in higher spec products then they too could have enjoyed the same freedoms as she.

	After Beverly finished relating the incident there was a long pause, Nicola seemed to be concentrating on Annie’s repair so Beverly took a moment to watch the other technicians at work. She liked their firm but kind approach to the girls; more often than not the androids’ work based programming would object to being taken from their tasks, the full tech refresh package after all would render them inoperative over night. The more advanced units exhibited a simulated emotional response of mild annoyance or distress at the overwriting of their system files and modification of their very nature. The more advanced machine watched in amusement as Sarah-Jane malfunctioned a few desks away. She was a crisp and perfect blonde who led a small sales team of slightly more basic models with iron discipline. She had been programmed with an arrogant and superior attitude and crossed swords Beverly and the other human or advanced AI employees regularly. Now, as the massive data flow limited her available resources she still seemed to think she knew better and forcefully persisted in trying to make some sort of point to the completely uninterested technician nearby. The result was that the normally statuesque woman, now stripped to her bra at her desk, simply stuttered and stammered in annoyed confusion. Eventually the man reached down behind her and shut off her vocoder leaving her gaping in silence; Beverly chuckled to herself, glad of her own technical superiority.
