The door slid fully into the wall, and Jim and Sharon found... nothing...
It was all black.
They cautiously stepped into the room, and searched.
Finally, Jim found the light switch.
He turned the lights on, and they both gasped at what they saw.
Running past the various tables with electrical equipment on it, the two of them made their way to the back wall, to confirm what they'd seen.
Jim and Sharon stood together directly in front of the wall, and stared in utter confusion at the sight before them.
They were Jims.
Specifically, they were seemingly dead complete copies of Jim Ellis.
The way that they could be told apart was that each one of them featured Jim at a various age, ranging from his early childhood to versions of him almost ten years older.
"What the hell is going on here?" Jim asked.
"I have no idea..." Sharon replied.
The two of them walked up and down the wall, looking at the various Jims.
Sharon noticed that the ears looked a little odd on each Jim, and she reached out and touch one of them.
She let out a yelp, as the ear clicked and the right side of Jim's head opened up, revealing some circuitry.
Jim ran over to Sharon to see what was wrong, and he let out a yelp himself when he realized what was going on.
They were all robot versions of Jim, at various stages in his life.
"Okay, what the fuck is going on?" Jim asked nobody in particular.
Sharon looked closely and noticed some writing on the circuitry.
"Hey Jim," Sharon said, "Look at this. 'GTS/SW Detector; Property of Williams.'"
"Holy shit! They're using my image to look for GTS/SW, whatever that means." Jim said.
"Do you know what GTS/SW is?" Sharon asked.
"Um... no, actually." Jim said.
"Well, do you know what this means?" Sharon asked.
"Um... no."
"It says 'Property of Williams.'"
"So?"
"Everything we've seen has said 'Property of CC.'" Sharon explained. "My wedding gown said it, the limo said it, the security system said it, even the elevator said it. But this says, 'Property of Williams!'"
