Interesting Facts

• The two beat droids sent to secure the Ledo crime scene, where Lottie had sent Eve a message from, were Carter and Bates. Carter gave Eve a report and the droids were instructed to scan for heat source, booby traps, and explosives. They reported that the police seal on the crime scene had been compromised, and the door was closed but unsecured.
• Either he or Carter was described as being “created to resemble a black man in his early thirties with shoulders wide as the Great Wall of China.” That one told Eve “we were called in to deal with crowd control when and if necessary, and keep a watch on any and all official vehicles. We're programmed specifically to deal with the issues and culture of this area [the Square].”
