Crack.
The last dummy's neck flopped, its unchanging blank expression adding another layer of queasiness to the jerky motion as it hit the floor. Things shaped like people should stop moving when they were broken, but apparently this early training model hadn't gotten the memo. It didn't keep moving for long, though. One hand mashed the wrists together, the other hand swept up the ankles; one boot was planted in the small of the robot's back. V's newest experiment bared its teeth and yanked.
Another crack echoed off the walls. Sam lit another cigar, more as an excuse to look down at his hands than anything.
"Amazing," said V, next to him.
