Final word for this scene: BlackSheep

So here we are in the warehouse in back of the mall, and there's ... y'know ... crates and stuff. Somebody better replace this text with something worth reading.

And then Jessica says something, and Frost gets all freaky-violent, and there's this big SHARD robot. What the heck happens with that?

And then, do we want to have the fight spill over into the main concourse? Do we want innocent lives on the line? Here's a moment I know I want to see ....

A young man is fiddling with one of the video cameras on sale at the Mega-Buy electronics emporium. A skate board leans against the young man's leg. He is dressed in battered punk attire, and has several chains around one wrist. The store manager eyes him unhappily. We see the kid flipping through digital filters, making his hand look pixelated, then sepia toned, then mirrored.

Jessica runs, but not too fast, not fast enough to risk actually escaping. The robot tromps after her. She looks around desperately, and her eyes latch onto the camera in the boy's hands. She collapses, screaming in terror as the robot treads toward her.

The boy swings the camera around. We see Jessica through the camera's view ("Recording ... Recording ....") The view swings jerkily, and we see SHARD bearing down on her. The camera swings back to Jessica, as the robot's shadow covers her.

JESSICA: Oh no! Is there anyone who can possibly save me now?

And then one of us has to, y'know, actually save her. Because, yeah, she's a manipulative bitch but she's also a bystander. The worst part is that her plan to manipulate us is clearly going to work. There was never really any doubt.

And then SHARD gets beaten down (or perhaps just escapes). But anyway, crisis averted.

Then we definitely need the scene where Frost goes off on Jessica. Do we want that in front of the camera?
