Hello Grandmother,

Ok, I’m doing my best not to turn this blog into a soapbox for the enfranchisement of robots. It’s a little hard when the levers of power are so far removed from any form of criticism. But clearly the robot designers and vampire power brokers are thinking along the same lines.

A list of changes has been passed to me of policy shifts in the vampire hierarchy. A lot of it has to do with harsher practices towards themselves, tighter security and more insular control, but some of it will make things easier for the bots on the street. It sounds like the Alternates meeting this weekend had strong benefits, at least for it. It’s distribution network is going to become more prominent, with robots capable of charging in major city centers (still in secret of course), and vampires are going to receive major penalties for messing with them. I’ve heard that the Alternate rejected straight out forming any kind of pro-vampire robot organization, a power hierarchy that the vampires could more easily monitor and control. Which is a smart move on it’s part.

For once, I feel like I can say the Alternate did what was best for it’s people. We’ll see how readily these changes are implemented as they’re inforced.
