After Amanda was sent to prison, CyberLife fell into paralysis.
The company had been managed by Amanda alone, down to every last detail. As an advanced AL, she had been capable of keeping it running normally.
But its decision-making had been far less ideal.
This left Harry thinking: Was letting a company promote Synthetics really the right choice?

The Osborn Group produced Synthetics internally without doing so for profit, so the two situations were not quite the same. Besides, if a Synthetic developed free will and planned to run away, the factory could immediately produce another to take its place. It was highly flexible.
So far, such Synthetics were still a minority. Most had grown accustomed to life "within the company" and would not easily break free of the company's framework.
After thinking for a while, Harry decided he might as well shut down private purchases of Synthetics altogether and let the Earth Alliance issue orders according to each country's production needs.

"Most have been recovered successfully, but some buyers are strongly resisting. Also, CyberLife's disposal logistics were outsourced to other companies. Should we suspend that as well?"
Although the Synthetics CyberLife sold externally still lagged behind Osborn's technology, they
