This story is part of a series of stories that take place in the same universe.

It was a time of social upheaval, the government was splashed with scandal. The confrontation that took place on the outskirts of the city, between members of an para-military group that works for the most important robotics company in the country, against the anti-robot group, where the FBI had to intervene, brought terrible consequences.
Civil society, made up of organizations demanding more control for technology companies, as well as government supervision and laws regulating the use of androids, made their strength felt, calling for demonstrations in front of the White House.
There was one year left before the elections, where President David Williams would seek re-election for another term. He was just a puppet of the real people pulling the strings of power. Waxing in the oval office, along with top advisors, trying to find a solution to the crisis. Williams was pressured from both sides. The cabinet was asking him to crack down on the occinox company, who were behind the massacre. But from the company, they demanded he use force against the rebel civilians.
The army commander flatly refused to use the military to quell the protests. To do so would bring the country to the brink of civil war.
President Williams was between a rock and a hard place. He remembered the night he became a slave to the corporation Mathison's words on the phone were clear. Williams had to do everything they told him, otherwise they would destroy him with the video recording, where the murderer of the girl he met at the meeting, where they talked about the first laws that would be created for the development of androids.
Williams asked those present to leave him alone. For a couple of hours, he asked not to be disturbed. He needed time to think about it. He would make an important decision.
The attorney general's office received the call from the president, It was time to act against the evil corporation and bring it to justice. What happened at the cabin outside the city could not go unpunished. Many human lives were lost. The arrest and search warrants were being signed by several judges. Agent Sterling would also be in charge of the operation.
At 6:00 a.m. the next day, the police arrived at Karl Mathison's mansion to arrest him. In New York, an FBI squad raided Captain Castillo's house, but the woman had escaped through a secret tunnel, the woman who set off the drone bombs, managed to escape and was unaccounted for.
All of Occinox's offices were taken over by the FBI, they were to collect all possible evidence. The Sterling people had earned the trust of their superiors, she had dealt a major blow to the anti-robot terrorist group and was now beating the largest android corporation in the country.


Karl Mathison's lawyers took over the defense, while managing the bail that the judge would set at the preliminary hearing. At the meeting with the lawyers, the powerful man who owned occinox gave the order to go against the government with everything they had against him. It was time to expose the dark secret they had about the president. One of the lawyers gave him a phone with a secure line, so that he could communicate with Captain Castillo, who was hiding in the Bahamas.
The White House had a major announcement scheduled. It was a request from the president. No one around him knew what he would report to the country. Williams had given it a lot of thought, he would resign and confess his crime. Five years ago, when he was a senator, he cost himself an assistant to Mathison, although he doesn't remember what happened, there is a video where you can see that he, the murderer of several stab wounds.
The New York Times journalist, Aaron Thompson, received a physical mail, without a sender. The envelope contained a small memoir with a video file. When he saw it, the reporter was surprised. It was the current president, stabbing a young woman. It was high impact news, the kind of news that would make him famous. The editorial board met immediately. They would take advantage of the president's announcement to publish the information in the online edition of the newspaper.
An hour before the announcement, Sterling was at the corporation's facilities, checking out the laboratories where the androids were being built. He seemed to have found something important, it was the design of the most advanced robot That was the robot that Occinox tried to recover at the site of the confrontation. Sterling was looking at the photograph, it was a beautiful female android
Sterling received a video call directly from the White House, the president wanted to please her for everything she did. He was very excited about it. She didn't know that the president was just minutes away from announcing his resignation. She told him she found new evidence, now they knew what they were looking for. She directed the tablet camera to the corporate monitor and President Williams seemed in shock.
On the screen was the face of the female android the corporation was looking for. The new model of robots, absolutely similar to a human being. It was the same face of the alleged woman he had murdered five years ago. It was all a lie, they used the android to make him believe he had committed a crime.
That sudden discovery changed everything. It would announce to the country everything that had happened. He would blame Occinox for being part of a larger conspiracy. It wouldn't matter if the media published the video. It was all a lie. The big corporations would take a big hit from the government.
Agent Sterling not only saved the president, she saved the entire country from chaos.
