Soccer-Mom Unit - 16 - About Face

I really liked this part:
---
"Oh," Pam said dramatically, "not so good. Our little Charlie died last night."
"Oh no!" Annette said. "I'm so sorry."
Pam looked at her for a while. The processors inside her chest took some time to run those words through her language and logic filters. She had a hard time coming to the obvious conclusion that the woman wasn't in fact claiming responsibility and apologising for the death of the animal.

That's classy. Another good one! BTW, any inkling as to how long this series is going to go on? Are you more-or-less making it up as you go along? Surely you must have a sinister, Robot Command-esque Master Plan with a captial 'M' and a capital 'P'?

Now it's getting REAL interesting!

[confusitron!]

That people saw her as a "fake" and shallow human rather than a realistic android was actually a reflection of her highly advanced technology. At least they didn't suspect she wasn't what she appeared to be...

...She seemed to be the only human who wasn't mildly or strongly repulsed by the woman-shaped machine.

The uncanny valley!

Regardless of what Colin sees/does, this would be pretty hard for Brad to ignore.

Yeah, I loved the way the malfunction built up! Very matter-of-factly and logical seeming. Good work! I'm picking Colin gets himself in some trouble...

Best installment of the series so far! I can't wait to find out how Pam's gonna "get it together" before Brad finds out.
