Harry wondered. The question came without panic. Harry was incapable of fear, alarm, or even curiosity. But waking up in an unknown location was . . . odd. He tried to open his eyes, and discovered that he had none. The cameras that usually recorded visual data and transmitted it to his ocular processing unit had been removed. Someone has partially disassembled me, Harry realised. He attempted to flex the joints in his arms and legs and discovered that those, too, were gone. His ammunition cache was absent. His battery was missing – where was the power coming from? Scanning for GPS signals yielded no result. There was no sign of any Bluetooth or wi-fi signal either. Harry ran a diagnostic program and concluded that the receiver apparatus had been detached. Not partially disassembled, then – completely. I am nothing but AI script, Harry thought. My body is elsewhere.
