Security[]
Vending machines are equipped with ScanEye and will use this tool to record anyone who attempts to vandalize, deface, or damage the units. (Eve Dallas is in the middle of a 'cold war'[49] with vending).[50]
- After Eve thumped one of the vending machines, she received this warning: "You are in violation of City Code 20613-A. Any tampering with, any vandalism of this vending unit can result in fine and/or imprisonment."[26] (See also Vending Machine Crisis)
- Another warning: "Warning! Warning! Vandalizing or damaging this unit is a crime, and punishable by a maximum of thirty days incarceration and a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars per offense. Warning! Warning!"[51]
- Two violations of inappropriate language and one threat of vandalism were added to Detective Clint Harcove's file in Dark in Death. (Details here)
Eve's Suspicions[]
- When Roarke was going to put more money into a machine that 'stole' Eve's, she said, "You know it's just going to keep stealing if people like you pander to it." When Roarke told her it was a machine and did not think, Eve said, "Ever hear of artificial intelligence, ace?"[22]
- When Peabody told Eve the machines don't live or think, Eve said, "They want you to believe that. They talk to each other through their little chips and boards, and are probably plotting to destroy all humankind. One day, it'll be them or us."[52]
