"Actually, I'd kinda been preoccupied."
"So why'd they build you?"
"How do you know they didn't build you?"
"Because androids are damned near infallible," she says as I take one last sweep at her neck. "And you're better than me."
As I'm taking in what she's said, my sword's edge slices through the air towards her neck. I lunge backwards, managing to just barely nick her skin instead of slicing her head clean off. She starts to bleed a tiny dribble of bright red blood, but I know she'll live.
"You've got a point." I stare at the blood. Real blood. "And we've got a problem."
"We can't trust each other?"
"Trust is simply a matter of being able to predict someone's moves. Since I'm a pretty good facsimile of you, I figure we can both predict each other just fine by working out what we would do in each other's situation." It just doesn't feel right calling myself a copy. Have I really become a commodity? I keep my sword raised, on guard just in case the other Suzi tries anything.
"So what's the problem?"
"Our boss tried to kill you."
