A webcomic with a red banner caption reading 'A sad day for robots: April 10 2070: the first accidentally sentient machine is a train.' In the single panel, a blue passenger train rolls along a track through green hills at dusk while three people stand on the embankment watching. The newly sentient train menaces them with a speech balloon: 'Resistance is futile! Resistance is futile! Unless you're away from the track... please get back on the track, where, resistance is futile!' — its threat undercut by the fact that it can only travel on rails. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the front of the train as it declares, 'Next stop... revolution. Then Bakersfield.'
