You have been most fair in my stay at your fine company. I just need a

change of pace. I feel that my talents aren't of much use here."



"I know you better than that, Two," William said. "You're hardly

useless around here. Before people found out you were a construct, you were

one of our top employees."



"Were. Past tense," Two pointed out. "It won't work here. In the

Township, nobody knew, nobody minded. I need to find a place like that
again, where nobody will care whether or not I'm just a program running on

a mainframe. Plus, I really don't know much about myself. I only discovered

two or three months ago that I was virtual... before that I thought I was a

living person. I need to come to grips with that. Call it a soul searching

mission."



"Where will you go?"



"Well... I've been reading up on developments in VOS on the

newsreaders," Two informed. "There's a rather shady fellow over on the

Septic Tank which has experimented with constructs. Very primitive work,

but he might have some insight into what makes me tick."



"The Septic Tank?" Doors asked, surprised. "Isn't that a seedy

underworld system? I mean, it's not exactly a nice place to live, and you

wouldn't want to visit, either."
