Actors: Security Knight SEI (F), CHILD (M), CGI CYBERCAT, Code Reader CHIGUSA (F), Neo Shibuya Consultation Agency PERSONNEL

EXTERIOR - 3 CHIBA ST. - DAY
CHILD is crying on the sidewalk. He is facing a maple tree that has a CYBERCAT fading in and out while standing on a branch.

CHILD
Somebody help! My cybercat’s bugged out!

CYBERCAT is sitting on a branch, looking down while a bug causes it to become transparent and opaque at regular intervals.

CHILD in foreground, right. Security Knight SEI wearing standard steel enforcer armor enters from left, surprised. She looks at CHILD. Blur foreground, focus on SEI. She walks to CHILD, kneels, and puts her hands on his shoulder.

SEI
My, my. Don’t cry! I’m here to help!

SEI stands up and enters camera from bottom. SEI touches her temple and dials a number via internal neural network.

SEI
We have the Neo Shibuya Consultation Agency to help!

Black van drives up from right side. Wearing a standard black business blouse, Code Reader CHIGUSA exits the car and begins walking towards camera.

SEI helps CHILD stand up. CHIGUSA smiles at them, then walks to left side. Exit cut.

CHIGUSA holds her hands up at CYBERCAT. CYBERCAT jumps down and CHIGUSA catches it. CYBERCAT fades back into existence and stays fully corporeal.

CHIGUSA
You’re all good to go!

CHIGUSA gives the CYBERCAT back to CHILD. CHILD receives the cat and beams at CHIGUSA.

CHILD
Wooow! How did you do that?

CHIGUSA looks at camera. She opens her palm and shows the Sync chip installed on her index finger.

CHIGUSA
The Neo Shibuya Consultation Agency has just the technology for your bugging needs!
