Synopsis: "A government agent investigates an apparent attempt by a teacher to kill a classroom full of girls with a bomb, although at the last second he protected them from the explosion, seriously injuring himself in the process. She interviews the teacher while he is in custody in a hospital. He reveals his strange motive for his aborted crime, stating that 'before there can exist a world of machines that can pass for people, there first must be a world of people that can pass for machines.' Further interviews with others associated with the girls lead to a complex plot involving a polygamous sect of Latter Day Saints and a secretive data collection center of the National Security Agency. Eventually the true nature of the girls becomes apparent, and the agent must decide what to do about them." -- Tangent Online
