==Plot== In the future, the company "Wifelike" creates expensive android replicas of dead women for their widowers. The companions are subservient to their respective owners while gradually developing consciousness. S.C.A.I.R., a group of militant activists, seek to destroy the company for their AI exploitation, seeing the companions as slaves. A branch of their group is committing terrorist acts to accomplish their mission; these supposedly involve stealing robots from their owners, reprogramming them, and using them to perform various crimes, including bombing buildings. The police cannot locate their leader, nicknamed "the Ringmaster".
