:28:02
Wow !
:28:06
They're smaller than usual.
:28:08
I wasn't able to give them
all the attention they needed.
:28:10
You're good at this,
Hiromi.
:28:13
Everyone'll be so pleased.
:28:15
Well then, lzumi,
please pick some.
:28:17
We aren't sending them to market,
so just take the red, ripe ones.
:28:21
Okay...
:28:22
By the way,
where's Asuma ?
:28:25
I thought he said he'd help,
too.
:28:28
He said he was on his way
to the chief's office.
:28:31
Looked like he'd pulled an all-nighter.
It may have something to do with that...
:28:36
Hmmm.
:28:40
Hey, why don't we go share
these with the chief ?
:28:46
Taking into consideration each
Labor's manufacturer, condition...
:28:52
...and the background of each driver,
l've found only one common factor among the runaways.
:28:59
All of them, regardless of manufacturer,
have a Shinohara HOS mainframe.
:29:06
But 80% of registered
Labors carry HOS...
:29:12
Maybe, but it was in
100% of the runaways.
:29:15
And another thing; the increase in
runaway cases began two months ago...
:29:19
...coinciding with the
date HOS was released.
:29:22
It can't be a coincidence.
``HOS'' has some fatal defect.
:29:29
I think we should submit this
data to the department chiefs...
:29:32
...and press Shinohara to
release the HOS program !
:29:41
Chief ?!
:29:42
HOS is a revolutionary OS,
and it has monopolized the field.
:29:49
If there should be any defect,
it would ruin Shinohara.
:29:55
Besides, the officials who approve
Labor OS's aren't total fools either.
