Comm: Computer won't start properly - nothing but jagged lines - Sergeant - give the technicians a ring. Phone's down, Commissioner. Comm: What's going on? Computer down, phone down - fine state of affairs! Anyone could invade us and we'd never know. No carrier pigeons left either, eh? Messages coming in from all stations via motorcycle, Commissioner. Comm: Anything important? Something about a special operation, Sir, - troops rounding up robots for checking and full census report. Sounds of gunfire in some areas; urgent message - armed robots entering dwelling houses without invitation - collecting certain bots. Comm: That's breaking the Concordat! What branch - army? No, sir. Special troops of the Waste and Recycling section with police commanders. Comm: Armed troops? Yes sir. Comm: Totally against the rules. Sergeant - I want messages to go back to all stations calling upon local officers to arrest those responsible. Sir - their troops have standard issue uniforms, but colour not recognised as genuine. Pattern of android is a Krill model. Sir - apparently two of our messengers were shot on the way here! Comm: I see. Sounds like a rebellion to me - we must get it contained before it blows into another deadly confrontation. Send orders now, to all police stations in affected areas. Orders include use of deadly force against these robots using guns. Officers involved in rounding up robots to be detained for questioning. Sir - this poster might help - apparently a citizen was jailed for criticising the special operation - turns out it was one of the wizards. Comm: Whoever thought jailing a wizard was a good idea needs his brains examined. Send a car to get this wizard; I'll have to apologise to him before he thinks of any form of retribution. Sir - police outnumbered in section 7 - full scale battle raging. Comm: Sergeant - send messengers to army barracks in this vicinity. Ask for full backup to contain presumed rebellion. Comm: Corporal - mug of tea, please. ------- Commissioner (in this world) replaces the rank of Lt Col, in some military units this post is called Commander.
