Dalley questions why Paul Allen, who was working for Honeywell, followed Bill Gates to Harvard before flying to Albuquerque to meet the MITS founders.

Jones reports that the ERCOT facility in Austin is "totally empty," suggesting the crisis is being managed remotely. He warns that Honeywell and other companies are giving utilities access to home thermostats via "smart hubs." This is described as a gateway for AI and contact tracers to enter homes, eventually leading to the seizure of firearms and children by the state.
