"In retrospect perhaps we shouldn't have programmed a more aggressive sales attitude into our machines. Has the prognosis for young Miss Lynn's recovery improved?" "No, the people we have at the hospital report that the latest neurological tests still say she hasn't recovered any control or feeling below her waist. The doctors are still pessimistic she'll ever walk again. The Lynn family is also upping their demanded compensation settlement to include psychological counseling for young Jason Lynn. They claim he was seriously traumatized seeing his cousin get crushed by a Petit Cola machine trying to get to him." "Again, perhaps we were a little too zealous in our marketing and customer profiling campaign...." ----Overheard at a Petit Cola Co. Executive Board Meeting

Corg stalked the abandoned subway station looking for the humans who escaped him earlier. All he got was cobwebs, dust and the lingering feeling he was being watched. As he started to leave, he paused to wonder ... "Were those vending machines blocking the entrance when he came in?"
Corg: "No...they CAN'T be...my imagination...OOOOWWWWWW...what the --?! (picks up a soda...) Where did this -- (suddenly...Corg is hit by a barrage of soda cans...) AAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!"
Scott: "Those things CAN be useful!" Rand: "Let's get out of here before THEY (pointing at the soda machines) notice us!" Scott: "Right behind you!"

A blinding glow fills the subway station ... The Petit Cola machines moved to surround the naked figure that appeared. Suddenly her arm became a particle cannon that vaporized several of the machines.
