The sudden flash of a green-blue light made Agent Montana look up from the electronic files she had been studying. Standing on her desk was a hologram of a young man, clad in ornamental armour and a long flourishing cape. She lowered the data pad she was holding to give the AI her full attention. “That took a while,” she remarked. The little AI tried to look miffed, which was not very impressive considering that he was about the size of her hand. “Really, Agent Montana, I had thought you were more practised in being patient. You’ve been sitting here for less than five human minutes.”
