[ There are a couple of things that might trip you off to the fact your kid isn't exactly normal. Building fully functional, extraordinarily advanced AIs at the age of thirteen was a good indication that perhaps Dirk Strider wasn't exactly normal.
The lack of friends was probably another tip-off. No one really wanted to assosiate him after he broke Peter Weston's nose in the fourth grade, and after his expulsion for the hostile take-over of the school, the handful of people who were kind enough to attempt to breech his walls were quick to deny any association.
But perhaps the greatest indicator may have been how calmly he called. How he casually dismissed his brother's receptionist and instead dialed straight on to him.
It's a normal day and nothing has started to go horribly wrong yet. Dirk is standing over the body of his withered nanny, one foot planted firmly on her back. Just in case. A few people are getting sick, some are reporting getting bitten by crazed homeless people in the streets. Dirk can personally testify that false teeth or not, this old bat was ready to tear his throat out. ]
I just killed Mrs. Denby, Bro. I think you need to come home.
