[A view above an ultra-cool, ultra-designed open-plan office.]

[In a kitchen area, young men and women mill and chat. Casually dressed. Feels like an intelligent, relaxed environment.]

[Behind them, more young men and women sit at desks, in front of screens and keyboard.]

[Each workstation is personalised. Photographs of friends or family, or pets. Cutting from magazines. Ironic superhero/video-game figurines.]

Cut to

[The hands of the young man writing code. This is Daishi. He types fast, with two fingers.]

Cut to

[EXTREME CLOSE UP of a pinhole web-cam lens in Daishi’s monitor.]

Cut to

[The POV of the webcam.]

[Looking back at Daishi.]

[Twenty four. Glazed. Ear buds in, connected to cell phone. Head bobbing slightly to the music.]

[As we watch from the monitor POV, we can see the computer’s facial recognition system in operation.]

[Imaged as vector boxes, which track CALEB’S face, and the faces of all the people behind him.]

Cut to

[The computer monitor]

[On which a message appears, in a small window, over the code.]
