During an office party at her new job, the narrator goes to the bathroom, discovering her colleague Keaboka with his head in a sink full of water. He tells her that he is deactivating the nanobots behind his eyes, the surveillance technology that is also controlling him, making him efficient and obedient. He warns her against getting the new company "update" that will allow them to install this technology in her too.
The nanobots can only be deactivated for three minutes, and soon the company is able to locate him, sending security guards that bring him to a "doctor".Â
