“Have you ever wanted to control your cat? Dog? Hamster? You can, with the Remote Organism Controller, a brand new tech device which will change the world! Our government is already working on installing this product inside critters around our Capitol, which will, according to scientists, improve security tremendously, ” the television had blared. I had stared at the screen and said, “Mom? Is this a real thing?”
I’m not sure why the twelve-year-old Chad wasn’t as suspicious as I am now about these malicious creations. I do know, however, that I was incredibly curious about what these devices held in store for us.
I was investigating the office of Anergy Corp, basically the company running our corrupted country and the Remotely Controlled …show more content…

Wait outside? Spy through the window?” “Meow.” “You’re no help at all, but I think we should wait until our interviewee leaves, and listen to the interview while we’re waiting.” And so we did. We learned that Anergy’s core values consist of lacking a love of animals, technical know-how, and responsibility. After what seemed like hours, the interviewee (whom I later learned is named Leslie) finally walked out. She didn’t look like a government worker at all, and had a surprised look on her face. “Who are you?” she asked.

Staff, please shut down all doors and check security!” We froze. My heart skipped a beat. Red flashing lights came on, and all of the doors were quickly shut. Leslie, Skip, and I all dove and hid under the tables.

Now it was time to engage our plan. “Skip,” I whispered, “Go out there and act like an RCO, be careful and I’ll pretend to be the voice,”
“Meow, meow meow!”
Skip then quietly walked out in that robotic motion I had taught him all week. My job was now a cat ventriloquist. “I cannot find them, sir,” I said, mimicking the rest of the RCOs.
The dog then said gruffly, “Who are you, soldier?”
