What I Was Going to Write
I was planning a story on the baby farm next door to Second Slice Cafe. I took lots of pictures, I took notes, I intended to expose them for bucking Linden Labs' traffic system by storing around 13 bots on a platform over their "clinic."
I wanted to poke fun at their fuggly prim babies and shoddy looking lobby, but honestly, I was just ticked off about the lag.
Then, they moved them to cold storage, inside this skybox. I figured, it would be harder to prove that way than it would be if they were just standing around on a platform..
So I let myself inside and took more pics of all the avs standing around in a daze. I even tried to strike up a conversation, just to be sure.
That's right.. I infiltrated the enemy's camp, risked my own life for the story.
It was going to be GREAT.
But then, I logged on this morning to check my own traffic and was surprised by the ease with which I moved. Something was different. I checked my mini map, looking for the cluster of sky bots, only to find..
Nothing. The baby farm was gone.
So my first big "expose'" was a bust. Not to worry, I'm told I've got a nose for trouble. I'll see what I can sniff out for next time.
See ya on the grid!

Here's an idea:
Kid Botz. It's a new business that's opened up in which, instead of adopting a child avatar or making an alt, you pay them 900L/week (plus a one-time fee of 1k) for an automaton who will do anything you tell it to.
Their ad copy begins with a rhetorical question about if you're tired of having someone you "adopt" drain you of your money. I guess they'd rather do it instead.
