T-Rex: It's the future! Drones with their loud rotor blades have been replaced by quieter and more naturalistic flapping wings.
T-Rex: And those wings have been installed on incredibly birdlike robot bodies!
T-Rex: These robot birds, eyes and ears in the sky for anyone who can afford them, are indistinguishable from actual birds unless at very close distance. And as birds are already known for perching and staring at us, the out of doors becomes... A SURVEILLANCE STATE. You never know if or when you're being watched!
T-Rex: Nobody can go outside for fear of being observed! Crime plummets, but so does freedom!
Utahraptor: T-Rex, wait!
Utahraptor: The outdoors is ALREADY under surveillance from satellites, and people still commit Outdoor Crime. No robot birds required.
T-Rex: Oh. We're already in my futuristic surveillance world?
Utahraptor: I mean... at least partially?
T-Rex: You know, I always consoled myself with the thought that if we ended up in a sinister future, we'd at least get some kick-ass robots out of it, or at least the occasional cyborg.
Off panel: We all did, T-Rex.
Off panel: *sigh*
Off panel: We all did
