Dans ce huis clos policier riche en rebondissements, AssaSynth, qui ne demande toujours qu’à rester dans son coin à regarder des séries (une vidéosurveillance digne de ce nom aurait permis de boucler l’affaire en deux temps trois mouvements, si vous voulez son avis), découvrira la valeur du travail d’équipe – avec les humains, qui ne sont pas tous incompétents, et les autres bots, qui ne sont pas tous stupides. Mais, surtout, notre androïde apprendra à ne pas céder à un travers finalement très humain : dépasser ses préjugés.
