Monday morning in the state chronology and tocsin device service centre:

"Good morning. Would you care for coffee?"

"Please, two sugars, black and very strong!"

"I'm guessing someone had a bad weekend?"

"I take it you haven't read the morning news feed yet?"

"What happened?"

"Mm. Remind me to ask exactly what the client needs in future."

"Why?"

"That alteration I made last week was the wrong one."

"What did you do?"

"Apparently the gentleman slept close to his window."

"So?"

"Rather than have the device gently shake him awake I changed its function to gently roll him out of bed."
