Wings of Wax: Induction (2)

INT.  MINOS - BANQUET ROOM - NIGHT


After speech, cut to Icarus with his back to a wall, surrounded by young girls who've never seen an android modeled off of someone their age. He demonstrates various magic tricks much to the delight of his audience, but soon wearies from his newfound fame.

Cut to Daedalus and Pasiphae joining the board of directors at their table.


PASIPHAE

He's quite the invention, looks just like a real boy, but I see no resemblance to his father.

DAEDALUS

Icarus possesses all the qualities one would expect from a human boy, and more.

PASIPHAE

And yet you will not sell the technology behind his creation, nor give details on it. You'd rather go into debt, it's all very curious. Not that I mind, hiring you now may be my own greatest accomplishment.

BOARD MEMBER 1

Indeed it may be my dear.

DAEDALUS

I suppose you can tell me now, what it is exactly I'll be doing for Minos?

BOARD MEMBER 1

          There are ... security concerns regarding our presence in the Ether. We've had a few limited breaches and a few close calls. It's time to shore up what holes exist once and for all.
