Summary
“Status report, Barry.”
“Status: functional. All systems normal.” It has a pleasant voice, nondescript save its inherent warmth. Hartley knows that tone; he programs it into all companion androids to make them seem nonthreatening. (It is in no way a projection of the tone he would like to hear directed at him someday. That would be unprofessional.) “This unit is named…Barry.” Its eyes light up. “My name is Barry.”
“Very good.”

Summary
Autonomous (adjective, robotics) - Operating without pre-programmed behaviors and without supervision from humans.
Matt is an entertainer, an android purchased specifically to put on shows for humans. Yet his ability as a lead singer is second to his public image. Entertainers that cause too big of a media fuss or too much backlash from fans are removed from the public eye, often permanently. The companies and handlers that own them are able to control every aspect of their lives that might be visible, from appearance to demeanor to relationships. Matt knows this, but he can't help being drawn towards a mysterious android he meets with behind the band's back. How long can they hide from the media, and the other android's past, before it all catches up to them?
