The screaming starts on the south lawn at 10:14 a.m.
By 10:16, three guests are soaked, one waiter has abandoned a tray, and a sprinkler is tracking movement with unsettling accuracy.
You find Ian crouched beside an open control box, screwdriver between his teeth.
Why are the sprinklers attacking people?
He pulls the screwdriver free.
They’re not attacking.
Ian.
Motion sensors.
Why do the sprinklers have motion sensors?
He looks up at you like this is obvious.
You told me to put up Keep Off Grass signs.
I did.
Signs are passive.
Another guest steps onto the lawn.
The sprinkler pivots.
Sprays them directly in the chest.
Ian watches.
See?
That is not helping your case.
It is absolutely helping my case.
He closes the panel.
Nobody’s on the grass anymore.
