“We have received a communication from Mr. Kim for a meeting,” Junebug intoned over the speaker in the cockpit.

“I suspect it is about your treachery.”
“What treachery?”

Bat looked bored.
“he is aware that you gave him a replicated copy of my program,” Junebug added.
“How is he aware of that?” asked Bat.
“ICE informed him.”
“That was stupid,” Tinker threw his hands up in the air. “Stupid, stupid computer.”
