Humph! Now that my daddy seeks my mommy, I’m leaving with them!”


    With those words, Qbot abruptly went offline and vanished. The entire tech wall reverted to a t gray


    hue. In a panic, Jefferson pounded on the walls, yelling and cursing, frantically attempting to resurrect


    Qbot.


    Seeing this, Marcel offered a sympathetic yet scornful reminder, “Mr.


    Foster, don’t exert yourself. Qbot’s main program was extracted when


    Mr. Bryant departed. It left a subsidiary program here merely to apany us, the remaining


    personnel. Now that you enrage it, naturally, it won’t return.”

    “Marco, I’ve inked all the contracts for the new recruits at Sr


    Company’s Laboratory, consistent with the previous agreements at the


    Bryant Group. Care to review them?”


    Marco dismissed the offer with a shake of his head, replyingposedly, “You manage it. I trust your
