A new communication campaign is proposed, or even more greasing of senators' palms, but it's not enough. Raymond Sellars then has an idea: he knows how to get around the problem! I'll spare you the absurd scene that follows based on " I have an epiphany ", but the fact remains that Raymond runs to the OCP labs to find Doctor Norton, an expert in cybernetic limbs. Indeed, OCP is a leader in the field, so much so that Norton is even showing a guitarist who has had both hands amputated that he can once again play finely and delicately, like with his former limbs, apart from Julien Doré since even cybernetic limbs have taste. But anyway, enough nonsense: Raymond is here and he wants to explain his big idea:
“Norton, I just had the idea of the century!”
– Stop coke?
– No, no, better! You know, the Dreyfus Act? The Americans want the efficiency of job function email database robots but the conscience of humans: I have the solution!
– Drones? They're just robots, but with humans making the decisions.
– …
– Shit, no. Fuck, that's not even in the script. No, my idea is… it's to put a human inside a robot.
– Oh yeah, it's a bit stupid though.
– Okay. Listen, let's go with this: select some potential candidates for me to stick in a robot, let's go!

And after being convinced that it would help a lot of people, Norton, who is a big nice guy, agrees. So the OCP team proposes various candidates, and off we go again, a failed dialogue.
"So we have Sergeant Bob. He's got his arms and legs amputated, but he's become obese: he won't fit in the robot.
– No. Next.
– Oh really, we know how to design a superman but not how to do liposuction?
– Shut up, Dr. Norton, stick to the script. Next, I said?
– There we have Officer Black. He's completely paralyzed, and only a body swap could save him. Furthermore, our opinion polls of test audiences put him far ahead of everyone else in terms of popularity.
– It's perfect, we'll keep it. Show me the next one?
– Sergeant Bigballs. A former SWAT leader, he lost both legs but still embodies the ideal of cool masculinity.
– I like him. Norton, what do you think?
– His file says he's psychologically unstable. Considering what we'll have to put the candidate through, it's best to avoid that.
- Well, then we'll have to wait until some other poor guy gets shot.
Wasn't that your idea?
