A large, black SUV waits in the shadow of Oasis Apartment Building 72-BCB. Inside the empty vehicle, a lone computer display bolted to the center front console reads ‘Waiting for Passenger – Sedoy. 136 passengers in queue’.
After a moment, the door flies open with an impatient swing, and a few moments later, Sedoy slides into the SUV.
[Welcome Sedoy. You are [3 and a half] hours late. Is everything okay?]
“Is that right? What time is it?”
[It is currently 11:32 AM.]
“I am half-hour early, what are you talking about? Dumb car.”
The door shuts automatically, and with a soft hum the electric motor comes to life as the luxury vehicle speeds away through the harsh desert sun.
