Project SOFIA
New York City. It is Friday, January 31, 2073. 07:58 hours.
Last night you had a vision.
Late in the evening you read about a small start-up company in Japan that has successfully developed the ability to grow living tissue over robots' exoskeletons. This allows the robot to appear human - except for a few omissions like human eyeballs, tongues, testicles, and so on. You realize you could produce the first android because you are in a unique position.
You are the founder and CEO of Peng Technologies. Peng Tech manufactures AI chips that use proprietary AI software. These chips are used in hundreds of products, domestic and international. Peng's tech is more advanced than anyone's. For four years Peng was the industry-wide leader, and Peng still leads in both technology and net profit.. but the lead has shrunken significantly.
If you can get approval from the company's Board of Directors for the android project, your next step would be to acquire the Japanese start-up company Fleshworks - or come to a mutually beneficial arrangement with the Fleshworks CEO. Your secretary can schedule your meeting with the board and the CEO of Fleshworks.
Then work can begin on the prototype, named SOFIA. (Silicon-Organic Female Interactive Android)

You've ridden in your sleek, self-driving luxury sedan (through a downpour of cold rain) from your penthouse apartment building to the parking garage under the Peng Technologies skyscraper. Your reserved parking space is right next to the elevators. You have a corner office on the 70th floor.
Your vehicle automatically goes into sleep mode since you've reached the programmed destination.
