Sam: A welcome back to society party for Freemech Lowell. Invitation from Tess Thurmad. They're trying to fix the brownie problem.
De Morel: What is the brownie problem?
Sam: When the robots were ordered off the station, not all of them left. Some of them went into hiding and continued to work.
De Morel: And having a labor force that works for free is a problem?
Sam: It is. You know, a year ago, I would have never uttered those words.
