The Human Robot
1st app.- Menace #11
The Human Robot was built by an unnamed scientist, under the guidance of his business manager. The scientist programmed the robot so that it would only respond to commands given on its secret frequency. He tested the robot out, ordering it to pick up a chair, and the robot did so but then lifted another chair, unable to differentiate between plural and singular. The scientist deactivated the robot for later work.
That evening, the business manager broke into the lab and set the robot up so that he could control it. He was tired of the scientist, who refused to speed up the robot's production, and believed that it was already set for release to the public.
The following day, the scientist was about to install a regulator to control the robot, when the manager ordered the robot to "kill the man in the room". It did so, strangling its creator. The manager entered, pleased-- and then the robot strangled him. It then set off to find more men in rooms to strangle. Credit- marvunapp.com |
