  • No, but I can direct you towards the nearest Skynet Detention Station, if that helps?

    So, this one was a little weird. Not sucky, it just...made me pause. I was standing outside when a guy comes up to me on a bike.


    Bike Guy: Can you tell me where the nearest human police station is?
    Me: ....Human...?
    Bike Guy: Yes where is the closest police station?
    Me: Just, uh, just down the street that way.
    Bike Guy: Ok. (He leaves towards the way I pointed.)

    ..
    ...
    ....

    Well played, Terminator.

    its a series of traffic and pole cams throughout the town and highways to track weather accidents and crime.

          And what would a non-human police station be? The dog pound?

            I'm afraid I'd ask if there were any other kind of police. It would be fascinating to watch him explain how he's NOT an alien from another planet or a murderous robot from the future..

              Sensors have detected independent thought.

              Such activity has been deemed traitorous, citizen.

              Report to the nearest termination booth for processing.

              Have a nice day!

                But, friend Computer, there's no termination booth near me!

                  Be careful with that sort of talk, Arga. You might induce some paranoia in people. In the meantime, as you have now proven yourself to be a commie mutant traitor by presuming to do friend Computer's job, we will need you to report for termination, as well. We appreciate your prompt compliance, and we would like to assure you that the team of heavily-armed combat drones currently approaching your position are simply there to make the process as smooth and swift as possible.

                    You may have met a former customer of mine. I'd give you his 'alien name' but it's his legal name now, so I'd better not. He used to refer to his wife as his 'earthling wife.' He had checks printed with his alien name, street address, city, state, country, continent and 'Planet Earth.' And the checks always cleared.
