Excerpt: ...unfastened one of her boots. She kicked the boot off, onto the floor. "Major, do you want to go in the other room? I'm sleepy." "It's going to be a problem, the four of us here. It's going to be hard to live in these quarters. Are there just the two rooms?" "Yes." "How big was the cellar originally? Was it larger than this? Are there other rooms filled up with debris? We might be able to open one of them." "Perhaps. I really don't know." Tasso loosened her belt. She made herself comfortable on the cot, unbuttoning her shirt. "You're sure you have no more cigarettes?" "I had only the one pack." "Too bad. Maybe if we get back to your bunker we can find some." The other boot fell. Tasso reached up for the light cord.

Major Joseph Hendricks goes to negotiate with a Soviet command center, he finds only three soldiers still alive. Hendricks learns of two android varieties: I-V, a Wounded Soldier, and III-V, David the boy with the teddy bear. Whoever, II-V—the "second variety"—remains unknown. When the Soviets return with Hendricks to the U.N. lines, he learns there are more than just three types -- moments after the Second Variety tricks him. As he dies, Hendricks understand the evolution of new claw types, and is somewhat ironically comforted that the androids are actually designing weapons to kill other types of androids. ( )
