What Do Electric Sheep Dream Of?
|
The given address takes you to a small neighborhood petting zoo. It's a specialty zoo, inside the city limits because they only feature electronic animals. You've apparently arrived after the act, because the zookeeper (armed with an electric shotgun, no less) is tallying the damage. It appears vandals snuck in while the electric animals were recharging for the night and did their dirty work. First they tipped the electric cows, then they put an electric fox in the electric henhouse (of course nothing happened because the animals were turned off), and, apparently frustrated by the lack of reaction, did the most damage when they took shears to the electric sheep.
The cows are a bit dented but okay, but the sheep are a mess. Tufts of fake wool are drifting everywhere in the light breeze, and on the sheep themselves hunks of scored plastic and exposed wires make everything from the smallest lamb to the biggest ram look more nightmarish than cute and cuddly.
Since there's not much you can do, you just suggest that the zookeeper call the police, and then go on your way.
