By the comments so far, the story seems to be getting intriguing BUT Tilly is still here so I will hold off putting up with the character till Friday as I promised myself.
I really, really, REALLY hope that there will be a new story arc with less in-your-face ..... I have no idea how to word it .... JarJar Binks?
It is just as tiresome as having to be socially active for hours at a time.
Beatrice: "That's my girl!" * dies *
As Hannelore stands over the now defunct Beatrice, Beatrice walks in through another door, well out of lightsber range.
Beatrice: "Do you know how expensive android drones are?"
Hannelore: "...."
Beatrice: "Then again it was worth it to confirm that my girl has what it takes. Oh, and the negotiations are complete and the papers signed so just one more thing to do."
Hannelore: "...."
Tilly: ".. ? ..."
Beatrice: Pulls out cellphone and activates an app. "Oh, and Taffy. I really don't care for corporate spys that don't see things my way. You're fired."
Tilly: "Ma'am? ..." Tube drops from the ceiling, evacuates Tilly with a FOOP, followed a few seconds latter by a deep rumble and the sight through the bay window of an ICBM being launched.
Beatrice: "Say hello to your father for me." Puts away cellphone.
Robohorse enters behind Hannelore with a tray.
Robohorse: "Tea Miss Hannelore?"
