More About "Muse":
An artist welcomes in an art gallery owner to view his latest offerings, his in-house android at his beck and call. When the meeting turns sour and the guest tries to leave, Alderman calls on Kay and... So begins the next day. When police officers come knocking regarding an altercation outside, it transpires that Alderman has amended Kay's CPU to respond to un-programmed demands - including murder to which she complies and the police officers are disposed of. As Kay becomes self-aware she turns on her owner and creates a painting in his honour - a painting of pain. The muse becomes the puppet- master.
