Watch Me
Russel Goldstein
"You just sit there and stare. Is this death? I felt the rope snap taut. My neck broke; I felt it snap. Even my feet leave
the chair. What do you want from me? Why do you sit there and stare?”
When On Wartl…
Ralph Benedetto, Jr.
"This is the planet: Wartl. Three billion sentient beings live here, none of them human. Humans visit regularly though, in
spite of the fact that Wartl only has probationary status in the Confederation. People come here, some of them on business, some of
them just looking for a restful and relaxing vacation along the hundreds of kilometres of unspoiled coastline. Sometimes things go
wrong. That's where I come in. I carry a small biochip implanted in my neural network that identifies me to all y-base-c
compliant platforms as a police officer. Oh, yeah. I also carry a badge."
