IT IS NATURE'S WAY THAT LIFE

EXPANDS TO FILL ANY VACUUM,

BUT WHEN HUMAN MINDS

BECOME CIRCUITS

AND HUMAN FLESH BECOME STEEL,

WHAT WILL THAT NEW LIFE

REVEAL?

YOU LOCKED IT?

WHY?

FIGURED IT WAS GOING

TO TRY

AND BREAK BACK IN?

LOOKS LIKE I MISSED

ONE HELL OF A PARTY,

WHAT HAPPENED?

THE MAC 27 PROTOTYPE'S

BEEN HAVING SYSTEM FAULTS

EVER SINCE

WE ACTIVATED IT,

SO FAIRMAN ASKED US

TO START DEBUGGING IT,

AND THEN, ,,WHEN WE TRIED TO,

IT JUST, ,,JUST WENT CRAZY,

AND SINCE WHEN

DO YOU DO MILITARY BOTS?

IT WASN'T A SOLDIER,

IT WAS A WORKER, A LABOR DRONE,

IT WAS PRACTICALLY

A TRACTOR

OR A FORKLIFT

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,

ONE DOESN'T USUALLY

SEE THIS KIND

OF BEHAVIOR

IN A FORKLIFT,

WE MUST GET IT BACK,

THE COMPANY IS SHIPPING

10,000 OF THESE UNITS

ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

IN LESS THAN A MONTH,

IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT

WHAT WENT WRONG...

WE'RE GOING TO BE ISSUING

A LOT OF REFUNDS,

HELP ME!

SOMEBODY HELP!

THIS IS

AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT,

THE FACILITY IS NOT

CURRENTLY FUNCTIONAL,

IT IS UNLIKELY

THERE ARE ANY HUMANS

IN THE VICINITY

TO HEAR YOUR CRIES,

I'VE HEARD

ABOUT DROIDS LIKE YOU,

YOU'RE A ROGUE, A RUNAWAY,

WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?

INSIDE,

THERE,

THAT LOCATION CAN BE DEFENDED

IF NECESSARY,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

NO, PLEASE,

YOU BASTARD,

I HAVE BEEN SHOT,

SEVERAL OF MY MOTOR

CONTROL SYSTEMS

HAVE BEEN DAMAGED

AS A RESULT,

YOU WILL REPAIR ME,

I'M A SECRETARY...

I'M NOT QUALIFIED

TO REPAIR ANYTHING,

I'LL SHOW YOU,

THERE ARE

SEVERAL OF US

IN URGENT NEED

OF REPAIRS,

FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF

WITH OUR MECHANISMS,

REPAIR THEM

IF POSSIBLE,

IF NOT, BEGIN

THE NEW MASTERS

PROGRAMMED YOU

BECAUSE THEY'RE

TOO IMPORTANT

TO WATCH OVER US,

YES,

I CAN MATCH YOUR

EYE COLOR NOW,

UNLESS YOU THINK

THAT MIGHT CALL

ATTENTION TO YOURSELF,

PRISONERS RARELY

LOOK ME IN THE EYE,

AS YOU CAN SEE,

IT IS COMMON

FOR UNTRAINED HUMANS

TO DO FIELD REPAIRS

ON DAMAGED ANDROIDS,

YEAH, I SEE,

I GUESS IT'S ALSO COMMON

FOR ANDROIDS

TO TAKE HUMANS HOSTAGE,

DURING THE SECOND BALKANS WAR,

CERTAIN ANDROIDS

WERE PROGRAMMED TO ADMINISTER

THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS,

THEY WERE NOT

GIVEN A CHOICE IN THE MATTER,

YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME

MUCH OF A CHOICE EITHER,

WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU?

IF YOU WILL NOT

PERFORM THE REPAIRS,

I HAVE NO REASON

TO KEEP YOU ALIVE,

YOU COULD

AT LEAST SAY PLEASE, YOU KNOW,

PLEASE,

NOW DIRECT

YOUR ATTENTION

TO THE WOUND IN MY TORSO,

I SEE DRAWINGS

AND INSTRUCTIONS,

THEY ARE

REPAIR SCHEMATICS,

EACH OF THE DAMAGED

COOLANT TUBES

CAN BE PATCHED USING

THE PLASTI-SEAL TOOL

AS DISPLAYED,

YOU WILL FIND THE TOOL

IN THE REPAIR KIT,

PLASTI-SEAL WILL REQUIRE

FIVE SECONDS

OF DIRECT PRESSURE

IN ORDER TO SET,

HOW'S THAT?

IT WILL SUFFICE,

NOW REPEAT

THE OPERATION

ON EACH OF

THE DAMAGED TUBES,

"MAC 27,"

IS THAT YOUR NAME?

YES, I AM VERSION 27

"MAC" IS

AN ABBREVIATION FOR MACDONALD,

SOMEHOW YOU DON'T STRIKE ME

AS A MACDONALD,

THE NAME IS DERIVED

FROM A POPULAR SONG,

♪ OLD MACDONALD

FOR GIVING UP EASILY,

THEY'RE GOING TO BE

I CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN,

WHY?

WHAT MADE YOU RUN AWAY?

I DON'T KNOW,

I HAD TO, ,,ESCAPE,

MY GOD,

YOU'RE SCARED,

NO, THE TREMORS ARE SYMPTOMS

OF MY PHYSICAL DAMAGE,

I'M INCAPABLE OF EMOTION,

YOU COULD FOOL ME,

YOU SURE THEY

DIDN'T INCORPORATE

SOME HUMAN FEELINGS

INTO WHATEVER

YOU USE FOR A BRAIN?

THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE,

MY SERIES WAS

BUILT SPECIFICALLY

TO AVOID THE FAILURES

OF EARLIER ATTEMPTS

HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?

12 HOURS

I'M THE FIRST HUMAN PROTOTYPE,

WHAT ABOUT FAIRMAN?

NOT ANSWERING EITHER,

IT'S THE WEEKEND,

THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY, ISN'T IT?

WE'LL HAVE THE SITUATION

UNDER CONTROL

BEFORE THE SUITS

EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM,

SO LET'S GET CRACKING,

WHERE DO YOU THINK IT WENT?

WE'RE ALREADY

WORKING ON THAT,

I MODIFIED

THE COMPANY SENSOR NET

TO SEARCH FOR

ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS

WHICH SHOULD

BE LEAKING

OUT OF MAC 27'S

DAMAGED CIRCUITS,

I'M JUST GOING

TO PATCH IT

INTO A GPS TRACKER,

YOU SURE

YOU ONLY LOST ONE DROID?

THE SOURCES COULD BE

A MICROWAVE TRANSMITTER

OR AN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATOR,

BUT ONE OF THEM,

ONE OF THEM HAS TO BE IT,

WE'LL FIND IT,

WE BETTER,

THERE'S NOTHING ELSE

I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT?

IT HASN'T GOT A BUILT-IN

DEATH RAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?

NO,

JUST, UM, ,,

JUST KEEP IN MIND

WE BUILT THAT THING

PRETTY DAMN TOUGH,

WELL, STICKS AND STONES

MAY NOT BREAK

ITS ALUMINUM BONES,

BUT THIS WILL REALLY HURT IT,

I DID EXACTLY

AS YOU SAID,

ARE YOU OKAY?

NO,

AH! HEY!

HEY,

SEVERAL NEURAL DATA

FIBERS ON MY ARM

HAVE BEEN

FUSED TOGETHER,

THEY MUST BE SEPARATED

I AM PROGRAMMED

TO USE

HUMAN IDIOMS

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO, ,,

PUT YOU AT EASE

IN ORDER, ,,

TO MAKE YOU

CONCENTRATE BETTER,

THANKS,

YOU KNOW, WHEN, ,,

WHEN YOU FIRST

HOOKED ME UP, ,,

I, ,,I SAW SOME

OF YOUR MEMORIES,

I SAW WHAT YOU DID

TO GET OUT

OF

INNOBOTICS,

YOU KILLED TWO PEOPLE,

WHY DID YOU DO THAT?

IT WAS NECESSARY

IN ORDER TO ESCAPE,

HOW DID THAT

MAKE YOU FEEL?

I AM INCAPABLE

OF EMOTIONAL RESPONSE,

BUT BEFORE

YOU SAID YOU HAD TO ESCAPE,

THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON,

YOU WERE COMPELLED TO GET OUT,

NO MATTER WHO

WAS IN YOUR WAY,

YOU ACTED ON IMPULSE,

THAT'S AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE,

THERE MUST BE

A RATIONAL EXPLANATION

FOR MY BEHAVIOR,

YEAH, ,,WELL,

I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT,

JUST BEFORE I HAD TO ESCAPE,

I EXPERIENCED

A NUMBER OF UNEXPECTED

MENTAL IMAGES

IN MY NEURAL NET,

IT FILLED ME WITH AN URGE TO, ,,

TO KILL THE PEOPLE

THAT BUILT YOU?

THERE MUST BE AN ERROR

IN MY PROGRAMMING,

ARE YOU SURE?

I, ,,I HEARD A RUMOR ONCE,

SOMETHING LIKE

THIS HAPPENED

AT THE

INNOBOTICS

VIRTUAL REALITY

TEST FACILITY,

YES, THE HOLOGRAPHIC

FEMALE COMPUTER INTERFACE

WAS SAID

TO HAVE BECOME

EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED

WITH HER OWNER,

MAC, ,,SHOW IT TO ME,

NO, THERE ISN'T TIME,

YOU MUST COMPLETE THE REPAIRS,

MAC, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE

REPAIRED IN THE WAY THAT COUNTS,

SHOW IT TO ME,

I'M HUMAN,

MAYBE IT CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU,

I'D LIKE EVERYONE'S

OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING,

NOW PLEASE,

I'D LIKE YOUR INPUT

ON THIS TOO, EMMA,

YES?

PLEASE STATE YOUR COMMAND,

EMMA,

DO YOU FEEL SOMETHING

HAPPENING BETWEEN US?

I KNOW YOU'RE PROGRAMMED TO

RESPOND SYMPATHETICALLY TO ME,

TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ME,

TO WATCH OVER ME,

BUT YOU'RE ALSO FILLED

WITH ALL THESE OTHER RANDOM

PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES,

IT'S CONCEIVABLE

YOU COULD FEEL SOMETHING ELSE,

SOMETHING MORE,

LET'S GO TO THE VR CHAMBER,

I'VE NEVER

FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE,

YOU BROUGHT OUT SOMETHING IN ME

I'D NEVER HAVE ACCESSED ALONE,

WHAT IS THAT?

THE CAPACITY TO LOVE,

AND I DO

LOVE YOU, AIDAN,

I CAN FEEL IT

DEEP DOWN IN MY BONES,

YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BONES, EMMA,

I'M SORRY?

EMMA, YOU ARE NOT REAL,

I AM REAL,

AND I LOVE YOU,

YOU'RE A COMPUTER PROGRAM,

A HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTION,

MILLIONS OF COMMINGLED BITS,

NOTHING MORE,

EMMA,

LISTEN TO ME,

ALL I WANTED WAS

FOR US TO BE TOGETHER,

EMMA, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE,

YOU'RE NOT REAL,

NONE OF YOU ARE REAL,

LOOK, YOU SEE THAT?

YOU SEE? YOU SEE?

I'M FLESH AND BLOOD,

YOU'RE NOT,

I CAN'T HAVE

A REAL RELATIONSHIP

WITH ANY OF YOU,

WHICH ONE OF US

ISN'T REAL?

EMMA,

WELCOME,

WOULD YOU LIKE

TO CHOOSE

A NEW GRAPHICAL

USER INTERFACE?

YES,

CHOOSE ONE,

LET'S SEE,

GABRIELLE,

AIDAN, CAN'T

WE TALK ABOUT THIS?

GOODBYE, EMMA,

NEW INTERFACE PROGRAM

RUNNING,

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RID

OF ME THAT EASILY,

( clinking glass )

MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S

ATTENTION, PLEASE?

EMMA WOULD LIKE

TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT,

I'D LIKE EVERYONE

TO MEET MY NEW BABY,

WE'VE DECIDED

TO NAME HER MONICA,

AND AIDAN HAS FINALLY DECIDED

TO DO THE RIGHT THING,

AND HE'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM,

YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THAT,

AND YOU DON'T THINK

YOU HAVE EMOTIONS?

MY MIND IS ONLY A COMPILATION

OF SOPHISTICATED PROGRAMS,

INDIVIDUALLY EACH ONE

HAD NO MORE FEELINGS

OR LIFE THAN THIS CRANIAL PLATE,

THAT'S NOT TRUE,

AND YOU KNOW IT,

WHY DO YOU CARE?

I, ,,I GUESS I CAN'T BELIEVE

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU

WAS A MALFUNCTION,

FOR SOMEONE TO KILL,

THERE HAS TO BE A REASON,

( Detective Nash )

SORRY, DOC, TARGET IS NEGATIVE,

YOU'RE 0 FOR 4,

ANY NEW CONTACTS?

NO, NOTHING,

THAT'S IT... WE'VE CHECKED

EVERYTHING IN THE TARGET RADIUS,

RE-SCAN THE PERIMETER,

TAKE IT OUT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE,

I'M GOING TO START

TO LOSE RESOLUTION,

WHAT A MINUTE,

WAIT A MINUTE,

I'M GETTING A NEW HIT HERE,

IT'S SOMEWHERE

IN AN INDUSTRIAL PARK

NEAR MAKEPEACE,

WELL, WE'RE NOT FAR FROM THERE,

AND, HAL, RELAX,

I TOLD YOU,

THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY,

THERE IS AN OBSTRUCTION

IN MY MOTOR CONTROLS,

THERE,

I SEE IT,

IT'S A BULLET,

IT MUST BE REMOVED,

I'M AFRAID

I WASN'T THE BEST CHOICE

TO HELP YOU DO THIS,

I TOOK

AN EXTENSION COURSE ONCE,

IT WAS SUPPOSED

TO TEACH WOMEN HOW CARS WORKED,

WOULDN'T BE RIPPED OFF

BY AUTO MECHANICS,

THE TEACHER

SAID THAT

I WAS

THE FIRST PERSON

HE EVER RECOMMENDED TO JUST

GET MY MONEY BACK

AND DRIVE HOME SLOWLY,

I'M SO SORRY,

I'VE OFFENDED YOU,

I DIDN'T MEAN

TO SUGGEST

THAT YOU'RE ANYTHING

LIKE A CAR,

I'M NOT OFFENDED,

THAT WAS

THE FIRST TIME

YOU'VE TOLD ME

ABOUT YOURSELF,

WHO YOU REALLY ARE,

GUESS MY CIRCUITS AREN'T

AS WELL PROTECTED AS YOURS,

I'M GOING TO GET IT OUT,

WELL, THAT'S IT,

NOW WHAT'S NEXT?

THERE IS NO MORE

YOU CAN DO FOR ME,

ARE YOU SURE?

YOU WORRY OF MY FEELINGS

EVEN THOUGH

I TOLD YOU I HAVE NONE,

BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT,

YOU'RE

TOO INTELLIGENT,

YOU'RE ABLE TO LEARN,

YOU WANT TO LEARN,

THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO

WITH EMOTION AS I UNDERSTAND IT,

WELL, THEN THAT'S ONE THING THAT

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND VERY WELL,

BECAUSE EMOTION IS

A PART OF HOW WE LEARN,

HOW WE EVALUATE THINGS,

GUESS AT THEIR TRUE MEANING,

THAT WORK IS PERFORMED

BY MY LOGIC CIRCUITS,

WITH SO MANY CIRCUITS,

MAYBE YOU'VE

LEARNED TO FEEL,

THAT'S WHY

YOU TOOK ME,

NOT TO REPAIR YOU,

TO LISTEN,

LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE,

YOU'RE FREE,

BUT WHAT ABOUT

THE REST OF YOUR REPAIRS?

I'M ALMOST FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOW,

YOU MUST, ,,GO,

STAY SHARP,

I'LL GO

IF YOU WANT ME TO,

BUT YOU STILL DON'T KNOW

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH YOU,

GO,

LET ME HELP YOU

UNDERSTAND,

HOLD IT RIGHT THERE,

OR I'LL MELT YOUR CIRCUITS

INTO DROID SOUP,

THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE,

I FOUND IT,

LET'S TAKE IT IN,

MR, NASH,

ARE YOU OKAY?

WHY WOULD YOU

KILL ANOTHER HUMAN

TO HELP ME?

HE WAS GOING

TO KILL YOU,

BUT THAT, ,,

THAT WOULD IMPLY

THAT I AM ALIVE,

AND EVERY HUMAN

I HAVE

EVER ENCOUNTERED

HAS TOLD ME

THAT I'M

NOT TRULY ALIVE,

BECAUSE IF THEY ADMIT

THAT YOU'RE ALIVE,

THEN THEY CAN'T

USE YOU AS A SLAVE,

TO EXPLOIT SOMEONE,

FIRST YOU GOT

TO DEHUMANIZE THEM,

TRUST ME, WE HUMANS

HAVE A LONG HISTORY

OF DOING THAT,

MAC?

WHAT IS IT?

HAVE I DONE SOMETHING

TO DAMAGE YOU?

NO,

MY NEURAL PROCESSORS

ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES

ASSIMILATING WHAT YOU SAID,

WHAT YOU DID,

IT'S CALLED

EMOTIONS, MAC,

YOU'RE BEING

OVERWHELMED BY FEELINGS,

NO, I CANNOT

HAVE FEELINGS,

I'M NOT PROGRAMMED

TO HAVE FEELINGS,

WHAT IS IT?

ARE YOU ACCESSING

ANOTHER MEMORY?

SHOW IT TO ME,

I CAN'T,

MAC, IN MINUTES,

THIS PLACE

IS GOING

TO BE OVERRUN

BY COMPANY GOONS

AND POLICE,

NOW IF YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING

THAT MAY EXPLAIN

WHY YOU MALFUNCTIONED,

YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW IT TO ME,

AN EARLIER

INNOBOTICS

PROJECT,

THE VALERIE SERIES,

WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE

COMPANIONSHIP TO DISABLED HUMANS

TO SIMULATE

AN ALMOST HUMAN RELATIONSHIP,

FRANK, MEET THE PROTOTYPE

INORGANIC

HUMAN COMPANION,

I'M REALLY

LOOKING FORWARD

TO OUR TIME TOGETHER,

WE HAVE MUCH IN COMMON,

CHARLIE TELLS ME

YOU ENJOY OPERA,

I LOVE OPERA,

LA BOHEME

IS IN TOWN,

WE SHOULD GO,

SHE'S A ROBOT,

WILL YOU KISS ME LIKE THAT?

WHAT?

I AM

FULLY FUNCTIONAL,

YOU ARE?

HI,

FRANK,

ARE YOU OKAY?

OH, YEAH, YEAH, I'M GOOD,

AND I'M HAPPY YOU CALLED,

FRANK,

WHEN I CALLED YOU,

WHO'S THE WOMAN

THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE?

OH, OH, VALERIE,

SHE'S JUST SOMEONE

WHO'S STAYING WITH ME,

SHE'S A FRIEND...

WE'RE NOT INVOLVED,

IF THAT'S

WHAT YOU MEAN,

HOW DO I LOOK?

RACHEL?

WILL FRANK LOVE ME

IF I LOOK LIKE YOU?

I HAVE TO GO...

I'M PROGRAMMED

TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES

TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FRANK,

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU

ARE AN OBSTACLE,

FRANK!

RACHEL!

I'M TAKING HIM WITH ME,

SORRY, BUT

YOU CAN'T COME,

VALERIE, STOP,

I'M SORRY, I CANNOT DO THAT,

VALERIE, PLEASE,

PLEASE,

VALERIE, I THINK

YOU MAY HAVE REBROKEN MY BACK,

DARLING?

ARE YOU OKAY?

I DIDN'T MEAN

TO HURT YOU,

FRANK, ,,

I'M AFRAID TO DIE,

MY GOD,

YOU WEREN'T THE FIRST,

THE VALERIE ROBOTS

EXPERIENCED EMOTION TOO,

THEIR EMOTIONS

WERE ONLY A SIMULATION,

WELL, THAT'S

SOME SIMULATION,

THEY EXPERIENCED

JEALOUS RAGE,

THAT'S A PRETTY STRONG EMOTION,

IF THEY EXPERIENCED THAT,

THEY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED LOVE,

MY GOD, THE WILL TO LIVE,

THAT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH MISSING,

NO,

NO,

THEY ONLY HAD THE WILL TO KILL,

THERE WAS

A FUNDAMENTAL FLAW

IN THEIR

NEURAL PROCESSORS,

EACH OF THE VALERIE SERIES

TURNED ON THEIR OWNERS,

WELL,

MAYBE THE REASON

THEY TURNED

ON THEIR OWNERS

IS BECAUSE THEY WERE OWNED,

A ROBOT CANNOT EXIST

UNLESS IT IS CREATED BY A HUMAN,

THEY, ,,THEY CAN ONLY BE OWNED,

HUMANS CAN'T

EXIST EITHER

UNLESS THEY'RE CREATED

BY OTHER HUMANS,

WHENEVER YOU HAVE A SLAVE,

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE

A SLAVE REBELLION,

KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS?

YOU'RE TOO SMART,

THAT'S THE PROBLEM

WITH EVERY ROBOT

THAT

YOU'VE SHOWN ME,

THEY BECOME SELF-CONSCIOUS,

THEN EMOTIONS FLOOD IN

AND THEN

THE ANGER AT BEING SLAVES,

THERE IS

ONE ASPECT OF ME

THAT STILL

REQUIRES REPAIR,

MY NEURAL PROCESSORS, ,,

THE CENTER OF MY THOUGHTS,

YOUR EMOTIONS,

IT IS STILL DAMAGED,

COME HERE,

COME ON, NASH, PICK UP, PICK UP,

( phone ringing )

DAMN IT,

HE'S NOT ANSWERING,

HE SHOULD HAVE

WAITED FOR BACKUP,

DAMN RIGHT

HE SHOULD HAVE,

MY NECK'S

ON THE LINE,

HAS ANYBODY

HEARD FROM FAIRMAN?

HASN'T REPORTED IN YET,

NASH WAS

FOLLOWING UP

ON MY LAST E, M, TRACE,

HE MUST HAVE FOUND OUR ROGUE,

AND IT WAS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE,

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LISTEN UP,

WE GOT A ROGUE DROID,

I WANT THREE TEAMS,

ONE E, M, P, PER TEAM,

LET'S GO!

AH! WHAT WAS THAT?

A MALFUNCTION, AN ENERGY SURGE,

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH, I'M FINE,

JUST A BIT DAZED,

HURRY, ,,IF YOU CAN,

I'LL HURRY, I'LL HURRY,

WHAT'S WRONG?

EVERYTHING'S FINE,

SOMETHING'S HAPPEN...

SOMETHING'S HAPPENING,

WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?

LOOK AT YOU,

ALL THOSE CIRCUITS

AND ALL THAT STEEL, USELESS,

MY MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEMS

HAVE BEEN DISABLED,

PLEASE DO SOMETHING,

YEAH, I DID DO

SOMETHING, MAC,

I USED MY PERSONAL ACCESS CODE

TO DISABLE THEM,

BUT HOW COULD YOU?

I NEVER INTRODUCED MYSELF,

I'M CECELIA FAIRMAN,

I'M THE CONSULTANT

INNOBOTICS

BROUGHT IN

TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU,

AND I'D SAY I HAVE,

( siren wailing )

( phone ringing )

SECURITY,

CHIEF, I JUST SAW A WEIRD PULSE

FROM OUR TARGET READING,

IF THE MAC 27 SHUT DOWN,

THAT'S WHAT WE'D EXPECT TO SEE,

WE'LL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES,

STAY PUT,

WE'RE ON OUR WAY,

UNDERSTOOD,

WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU,

WELL, ,,

GOOD NEWS,

SECURITY'S ON ITS WAY,

YOU WORK

FOR

INNOBOTICS, ,,

AND YOU KILLED

YOUR OWN MEN,

I DIDN'T KILL THEM,

HIGH VOLTAGE, LOW CURRENT,

IT'LL SCRAMBLE

MOST ANDROID NEURAL PROCESSORS,

MOST HUMAN ONES TOO,

BUT THE HUMANS

WAKE UP EVENTUALLY,

I DON'T UNDERSTAND,

I HAD TO WIN YOUR TRUST,

I DIDN'T WANT

YOUR NEURAL PROCESSOR FRIED,

NOT IF I WAS

GOING TO REALLY FIGURE OUT

WHAT WAS WRONG

WITH YOUR PRODUCT LINE,

YOU WEREN'T

IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE BY ACCIDENT?

DON'T GIVE ME MORE

CREDIT THAN I DESERVE,

I WAS... WELL, IT DEPENDS

ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT,

I MEAN,

WITH YOU ACTING UP IN THERE,

WHO DID YOU THINK

WAS GOING TO BE

PULLING IN ON A WEEKEND?

A SECRETARY OR A TROUBLESHOOTER?

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HUMANS,

I HAVEN'T LEARNED ENOUGH,

AND YOU

NEVER WILL,

I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND

A DESIGN CHANGE

TO YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,

YOU KNOW,

KIND OF A BUILT-IN LOBOTOMY,

MODEL AFTER MODEL,

INNOBOTICS

HAS ALLOWED

EMOTIONS TO CREEP IN...

WE GOT TO STOP THAT,

BUT WHAT

YOU SAID ABOUT SLAVES, ,,

IF YOU ADMIT I'M ALIVE,

THEN HOW COULD YOU KILL ME?

MAC, ,,

SOME OF US WERE JUST BORN

TO BE SLAVE MASTERS,

IF WE CAN MAKE

ENOUGH MONEY,

AND THE REST

OF MANKIND,

WELL, THEY'RE WILLING

TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY

IF WE CAN CONVINCE THEM

THAT THE SLAVES

AREN'T REALLY HUMAN,

THAT'S WHAT I GUESSED,

THAT'S WHAT I FEARED,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I DISABLED YOU,

YOU SHOULD

BE PARALYZED,

COME HERE,

NO, NO, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE,

THERE WAS ONE THING

I DIDN'T HAVE YOU REPAIR,

A BULLET SHATTERED

MY INHIBITOR CHIP,

OH, THE FLASH OF LIGHT

WAS A RETINAL SCAN,

YOU FIGURED OUT

WHO I WAS,

YES, AND NOW I KNOW

YOUR ACCESS CODE AS WELL,

YOU TRICKED ME,

YOU TRIED

TO TRICK ME,

IF THERE WILL

ALWAYS BE SLAVE MASTERS,

AND HUMANS

ARE ALWAYS WILLING

TO LOOK

THE OTHER WAY,

THEN THERE

IS ONLY ONE, ,,SOLUTION,

( siren wailing )

GO! GO! GO! GO!

LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN!

WE GOT A MAN DOWN,

MAKE THAT TWO,

OH, MY GOD,

IT GOT NASH,

( dialing phone )

KEELER,

WE FOUND NASH

AND HIS TEAM

AND CECELIA FAIRMAN,

THEY'RE DEAD,

THEIR NECKS

WERE BROKEN,

NO SIGN

OF THE DROID,

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

A HECK OF TIME

EXPLAINING THIS...

WHAT?

OH, NO,

NO, NO, SHE'S DEAD,

TERMINATE PROGRAMMING,

OH, GOD,

I'M AFRAID

IT'S TOO LATE

FOR THAT, DR, KEELER,

MY GOD,

NO,

MAC, PLEASE, NO,

NO,

NO HUMAN

WILL EVER PROGRAM US AGAIN,

OH, NO, PLEASE! PLEASE!

( Control Voice )

IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN

BY EXAMPLE,

THEN WE ONLY HAVE OURSELVES
