Several journalists raise their hands. You pick one out, a man in his early thirties with graying temples.

"Philip Mace, of Sophic Investor," he says. "Your company is currently under a legal injunction barring you from using or selling any of your existing technology, on the grounds that its source may be legally dubious. This has also impacted your customers, who have spent large sums of money to preorder the Enhancements you should have provided. Do you plan to reimburse them?"

A difficult question. The injunction that Philip Mace is referring to is a major concern at MetaHuman right now. And realistically, any attempt to reimburse the money spent on forcibly abandoned contracts would likely bankrupt the company in its current state.
