While his sisters sorted out the developing mystery that their older brother had suddenly become, life on the other side of town continued on relatively unbothered.

Doctor Simcraft: I really don't see the appeal in it at all. All these experiments with Generative Models. From what I've seen the results are positively garish. Shooby: A-EYE successfully generates one ugly cat, and now they're trying to upend an entire industry with an army of 3D printed Runway Models?

Vexus: Doubtful. The cost of biomass scrapped due to malformities cannot be sustainable in the long run. Even with their patron backing.

Too many fingers, extra legs, missing arms - the usual. Even the successful ones rarely last more than a few days before internally collapsing.

Simcraft: It's like no one respects the value of unethical labor anymore. This whole artificial intelligence scheme is sloppy, homogenized, and short sighted. Shooby: No offense Leanne.

Leanne: None taken.

Simcraft: Did you hear what happened with the Curator's Assistant? Shooby: The one that defected? He's still alive? Simcraft: I hope not - he's been handling all my taxes for years.

Vexus: What's this now?

Simcraft: Big Neighborhood stories scandal. Cheated on by 009 - that little annoying one from the Del Sol Office.

Shooby: Really? Good gossip takes so much longer to reach Sixam. Didn't she lock him in one of your vaults years ago? Simcraft: Ugh don't remind me.

Vexus: Interesting.

Shooby: Oh Shit. That's too funny.

Alejandro: Maybe I come back later.

Carmela: [ LIGHT SIGH ]
