OTHER NOTES:

I had a flashback of the 'regiment' in their office, the other day...

It was of SCARLETT who had walked in with ELIZA MANNINGHAM-BULLER and she had barked out a speech of 'orders' to them and then stood firmly to attention as SCARLETT assured them all that rumours of her death were quite obviously unfounded.

SONIA wasn't fooled.

ELIZA had died by taking poison and had been many hours dead before they found her...she had been the 'head witch' of the ill cult.

SONIA went up to EMB and shouted at the top of her voice and into the robot's ear:

"ELECTRIFIED FROG!" - over and over again - to make the point clear.

Yes, the ill cult have the medical technology now to run a person as a body...and to programme the mind with 'text' to say and instructions upon how to say it...but there is 'nobody in there' anymore.

If EMB had still been 'human' then there would have been some facial expression...the survival instinct of the body would have kicked in, to such a violent noise, straight into her ear - nothing doing, she stood stiff as a poker with a blank expression and eyes.

SCARLETT hadn't programmed his robot to do any more than to give that speech. He didn't know where to put himself - SONIA was quite obviously correct - an 'electrified frog'.
