Bob gapes at the holoscreen. “Sally, have you seen the artificial life sim?”
Sally peers over his shoulder. “What?”
“Up in the sky,” he says.

Bob’s face was red. “Who could have known about that flaw? Who could have installed the exploit?”
“I dunno,” Sally said, hiding the install CD behind her back.
