"ED-E," Alex starts, staring at Sarah with a feigned lack of amusement. "Please play back for Sarah the penthouse's recording from earlier today. About 11am. Conversation with me and Raul."

ED-E whirs in response, remote accessing the server. Unlike House, Alex is far more paranoid. Good for him? ED-E finds the audio file Alex wants and plays it, the sound somewhat staticked.

"Boss? Uh, got a problem with the Securitrons up front. They look like they're about to shoot up the people in the crowd."

"Just two.... Fuck me."

"Boss?"

"All good, all good. Might be down two Securitrons, though."

Alex points to the eyebot. "No one was blasting you. I had already assumed I'd need to replace those 'bots."

That done, Alex turns his attention to Neil. "'member Rory, of the 'I'm not NCR, just curious,' who was very much NCR and trying to find out nearly everything about me? Between that, two hacking attempts of the Securitron hardware, and just thinking about what I would fucking do, I have some security measures in place. People ask too much, touch too much, and the Securitrons can't handle it, 'bots go boom."

The Boomers would love it, and to be honest, he got the explosives from them. The guilty grin probably makes that part obvious to Neil.
