    Summary

    The Ryland Grace Memorial Diner sat between a construction site and a cluster of small apartments on the recovering streets of San Francisco.

    It was founded in 1972, renamed in 2051, and in 2053, a statue of a schoolteacher was erected within its walls. Now, it attracted tourists and students alike, bright eyes and eager minds all competing for a view of Earth’s most beloved man in man’s most beloved habitat.

    Or: A look at the people of the San Fran diner Grace goes to every morning for breakfast in the book.

    ART was reluctant. It got even more reluctant when I asked it to show me the false memory. Given the subject matter of the scene that initiated your shutdown, I am concerned that showing you would only cause it to re-occur. Eventually I persuaded it to tell me instead of showing me. Apparently it had been a corrupted version of the same clip, but instead of the show characters I had [REDACTED]

    Yeah. Yeah, I know. Just give me a fucking minute.

    Summary

    This Unit: Where is my owner, Dr. Mensah?

    Dr. Yuen: Well, that’s the million dollar question, isn’t it? SecUnit, where did you last physically interact with Dr. Ayda Mensah?

    Information Retrieval: Dr. Ayda Mensah last interacted with This Unit on Preservation Station at 08:27:22 on 4098-09-17 CRST.

    This Unit: You do not have permission to access that information.

    Dr. Yuen: You’re incorrect, SecUnit. We do. Answer the question.

    (When the infamous rogue SecUnit of the Preservation Alliance gets captured, the corporate techs assigned to it expected to be able to get some juicy data, or at least some insights into its cracked governor module. They didn't expect something so... basic.)
