    Summary

    "What makes [a robot] slavish, then? Only the First Law! Why, without it, the first order you tried to give a robot would result in your death."
    'Little Lost Robot' (Asimov, 1947)

    After the events of Evidence, Amanda and Samuels try to build their life together, do some light detective work with Nina and co., and *not* get drawn back into the shadowy world of illegal android fights by the fact that their nemesis is back from the dead.
    BUT GUESS WHAT
    (a.k.a. the sequel to the illegal-synthetic-fight-club AU that nobody asked for, because some artificial people can't catch a break.)
