none of you say a thing.

...Sumeragi, I think we're going to have to postpone any plans for the near future.

Well, like, I know in I, Robot, the first function of every robot was to protect humans from harm. And one of the robots went crazy and decided that the best way to protect humans was to prevent them from ever doing anything stupid, and that meant controlling everything they did.

It, um, sometimes does, yeah, haha.

That's a good point. But whether you are or not, you know that your, uh, trainer will think you are, so.

...well, it's certainly a logical solution to the problem.

I shall just have to continue deceiving him until this virus is over.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Yeah, maybe, but that doesn't mean it's a good one.

Good luck with that, then. ...Um. Why do you have to deceive him, exactly?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I don't really see any errors in it.

Because he keeps trying to do things that are potentially dangerous.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Most people don't like be ordered around.

Oh! Yeah, that's...not so good.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Even if it's for their own good?

Not particularly, no.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

Even then, yeah.

But you'll be able to, like, lie to him and keep him in line, or whatever?

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Hm. Perhaps they should re-evaluate their priorities.

Providing the virus ends sooner rather than later, yes.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

People haven't ever liked being bossed around, mostly. It's kind of been that way, uh, forever.

That's good.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. It makes things rather difficult.

[know-sacrifice.livejournal.com]

It also makes them interesting.

[nonesodangerous.livejournal.com]

Hm. Yes, I can't deny that.
