Unknown Speaker 5:14
Yeah, I need someone to help with my bags you robot, which is the best table? Excuse me. Now she's one of the 2020 was founding families. They literally treat the planet like they own candles all about class, I can see that. We don't really have to rush off to me. Sorry. It's just weird for me being back here the document while he was does it's amazing how he can hang around with so many humans and not learn a thing. He knows more than you think. I'm grateful to be able to spend some time with you. Relaxing after everything. Of course. Smile doctor
Unknown Speaker 6:05
This is it company. I've heard so much about the place it's high time for a visit. Welcome to Kaldor company office. How may I assist you today? Hello. I was hoping to speak to one of your technicians.
Unknown Speaker 6:18
Do you have an uplink? Thank you v 21. I'm Hannah. Are you my to occur? I suppose I must be
Unknown Speaker 6:25
overtake.
Unknown Speaker 6:26
Call me Tula. It's good to me.
Unknown Speaker 6:28
I'm the doctor. And I'm very interested to hear all about your robots. And of course, your new leisure center.
Unknown Speaker 6:35
leisure center. Oh, you mean the complex? Yeah. Everyone's very excited about the grand opening.
Unknown Speaker 6:42
I hope to pop along there myself. Maybe you could show me
Unknown Speaker 6:45
my No. But first come through to the show room. Let's meet our robots.
Unknown Speaker 6:58
Free thoughts on growth. The beautiful in their own way. Suppose they are. We like being surrounded by beautiful things on kaldur Okay, this place
Unknown Speaker 7:09
just isn't me. I don't know why the doctor brought us. It's only fair. You've been to London enough times. I like seeing where you come from nothing. I don't really feel like I am from here.
Unknown Speaker 7:23
All the time I lived in the city. I was looking at the stars. took a few trips. Then when that died, you were free. I'd qualified. started looking for med tech postings on long range transports. I wasn't as quick as some to get out. Oh, look, someone's coming over. Welcome to sell speedster. I am super vocal 23. I will be serving you today. Oh.
Unknown Speaker 7:51
What have you made your choice?
Unknown Speaker 7:55
Yes, thank you to ice cert. coffees please. To buy center coffees. Will that be all for now? Yes.
Unknown Speaker 8:07
Movie All right. You know, I've seen a ghost. Sorry. But robot
Unknown Speaker 8:15
must be a new generation. And nothing. I just haven't heard one sounding like that before. Sorry. So two coffees. Yeah, you'll love them.
Unknown Speaker 8:30
People do like the old fox. They're comfortable with them. So the look hasn't really changed. But we're constantly developing
Unknown Speaker 8:37
something different under the hood. I'm always interested in new technology, especially with cold or androids are concerned. Unknown Speaker 8:44 You're familiar with our robots
Unknown Speaker 8:46
about some dealings in the past? Yes.
Unknown Speaker 8:48
You're not registered with any Commodore business. Well, we are always open to new export opportunities. I can't promise anything. You want to be discreet. We understand that to the company has simple thing with personnel issues
Unknown Speaker 9:01
for protest outside? Is that something to do with personnel issues taking people's jobs?
Unknown Speaker 9:07
Kaldor is well used to the robots. It's more of a class issue. Also, the complex is an exclusive venture clientele must fulfill certain criteria. People out there well, they wouldn't be able to afford it anyway.
Unknown Speaker 9:22
So trouble with exclusivity, people end up being excluded.
Unknown Speaker 9:25
several businesses in the complex have our new design super folks on staff. Yeah, I call it a demonstration model.
Unknown Speaker 9:38
I am super Hawk 111. I am programmed with all supervisory functions in industrial, commercial and civil functions.
Unknown Speaker 9:51
The voice has used it.
Unknown Speaker 9:54
We're building virtual people. You can't do this job. If you don't have some ego.
Unknown Speaker 9:58
I'm curious to see them. action. assume you're monitoring the complex here, of course,
Unknown Speaker 10:05
to hear a security station, anything in particular you'd like to view.
Unknown Speaker 10:09
Well, I've a couple of friends so it would be nice to see.
Unknown Speaker 10:22
Maybe we should go up just starting to relax. You know me. I don't really do relaxed. We don't have to stay cooped up in here There are mountains outside the city beyond that. The desert forest. Oh, your drinks. Please enjoy. Thank you.
Unknown Speaker 10:43
This is a robot. I thought you'd be used to them. Or this will sound weird, but it reminds me of someone. So not strange, very lifelike.
Unknown Speaker 10:55
Nice spending time with a live Unknown Speaker 10:58 feel. No Whoa, tell me what's normal again, you know, after everything was Solomon, sir, and of the universe, right cousin? I reckon you'd talk about things if you wanted to.
Unknown Speaker 11:13
If not, well, we've usually got a doctor to get out of trouble keeps us busy. If I find you, I didn't do anything. Exactly. That's what I need the doctors fussing this low level under the surface. He's not entirely sure about me, I feel it, ignore him. Find something else to distract him. Eventually, you'd like a kitten with a ball of string sometimes, and the ball of string usually turns out to be some kind of doomsday device.
Unknown Speaker 11:43
I've never really had a friend before, or someone like you that you're more than that. With family. Yeah. I'll drink to that.
Unknown Speaker 12:00
All right, Denise. Yes.
Unknown Speaker 12:01
Live live chunker Is that you? I thought so. Mind if I join you?
Unknown Speaker 12:13
There they are. Zoom in with you. Is that sound?
Unknown Speaker 12:16
Yes. Hold on.
Unknown Speaker 12:21
We were in training together. Nice to meet you kid. Even just talking about friends. How did you know I was here?
Unknown Speaker 12:27
Carlo bio network firmly appeared on my grid is the equivalent of find the friend. Technology bringing people together. Tuna
Unknown Speaker 12:39
they your friends. Leave. She's with you.
Unknown Speaker 12:42
Yes, she is over tech checker.
Unknown Speaker 12:45
She's my sister.
Unknown Speaker 12:48
Isn't it wonderful.
Unknown Speaker 12:58
The rest of the gang here will palico YouTube, we're joined at the hip in training. But as is always good for a laugh we
Unknown Speaker 13:05
went our separate ways. After the Lorelei
Unknown Speaker 13:10
Why did you get assigned? Unknown Speaker 13:11 didn't finish training?
Unknown Speaker 13:13
It's good to see you live djenka here Today of all days,
Unknown Speaker 13:19
are you meeting someone?
Unknown Speaker 13:21
No, no. I'll get some more Drinks on me. Maybe we should go.
Unknown Speaker 13:26
Why? He seems nice, little jumpy. I don't really want to get into a conversation about the good old days. Why not? I don't mind the trouble is a friend. Bad palico died. And not just that. It was always a bit of an idiot. His family could get him a job anywhere but he never sees anything through he never sees past his own privilege. And you'll feel like that back in London to some things about human nature never change. Yeah, glasses. I ordered something with a bit more fitness you celebrating something?
Unknown Speaker 13:57
Why not the SV is bringing The buffalo
Unknown Speaker 14:01
Listen, kid. I'm sorry, but it's my first time here. Live was gonna take me on a tour of the countryside so I can't really stay
Unknown Speaker 14:12
mad.
Unknown Speaker 14:14
The robots they've stalled. They've all stopped. No. I can't happen.
Unknown Speaker 14:25
I'm sorry. I just hadn't expected lives your friend.
Unknown Speaker 14:30
course one of my best friends. I thought it might be nice for you to know what's happening.
Unknown Speaker 14:38
Too late. The screens are cutting out. Are they supposed to do that?
Unknown Speaker 14:41
Most definitely
Unknown Speaker 14:42
not. There's something gone wrong with the power master. It was a rush to get this place finished in time. The company had deadlines was basically the people don't worry. I expect they'll just evacuated.
Unknown Speaker 14:55
It now. Standing there frozen.
Unknown Speaker 14:58
Her apologies ladies and gents Bear with us a few more moments and I'll try and find out what's up. Unknown Speaker 15:12 Thumbs the folks that
Unknown Speaker 15:13
they're grabbing people on the walkways attacking them.
Unknown Speaker 15:21
Don't go.
Unknown Speaker 15:23
You are responsible for my safety.
Unknown Speaker 15:25
I don't I don't get to the back. Come on.
Unknown Speaker 15:31
This isn't right. The robots are killing people. Kitt Wait,
Unknown Speaker 15:36
we should leave with everyone else, shouldn't we? There are hundreds of robots out there. Still, the owners got the right idea. Go with him and that woman Helen, you'll call for help was about kids. I'll get him
Unknown Speaker 16:00
Come on back with us.
Unknown Speaker 16:01
People the
Unknown Speaker 16:02
robots are waking one by one and when they do they're attacking we should leave. We can't get out that way. They'll kill us
Unknown Speaker 16:11
why would they want
Unknown Speaker 16:12
to kill us? No idea. Welcome to my life
Unknown Speaker 16:18
to what is happening you must know something
Unknown Speaker 16:20
shut out. Last of all controls communication. Everything
Unknown Speaker 16:25
Can I do anything? never seen anything like this? Please let me help No.
Unknown Speaker 16:30
Actually, security restrain this man
Unknown Speaker 16:34
Yes ma'am.
Unknown Speaker 16:36
We're gonna do this now. rather a coincidence you turn up and the systems go down? You know who I am? Unknown Speaker 16:44 You're not have I never said I was people.
Unknown Speaker 16:47
What have you dragged live into? Are you with the sons of Kaldor?
Unknown Speaker 16:50
No, no, no, I'm not. We're too early for them to be any real threat. What do you mean by that? I'm not at liberty to say whether time and on that
Unknown Speaker 17:00
Search him He must have some device some gadget interfering with our systems. I said we should
Unknown Speaker 17:07
listen to me too. I'm not causing this but whatever it is I can help
Unknown Speaker 17:13
is his control over trinka go ahead
Unknown Speaker 17:16
we're giving report a few people got out of the complex a few it's in lockdown now doors are sealed no one in or out
Unknown Speaker 17:25
what's happening in their
Unknown Speaker 17:26
apps the thing the ones who escaped they say robots were attacking people
Unknown Speaker 17:31
and possible that security on it. I want to proper report check it out.
Unknown Speaker 17:38
It was impossible the last time to and the time before that. What are you talking about? The incident uncommanded the vine of sand minor the Lorelei do any of these names mean anything to you?
Unknown Speaker 17:47
Then go
Unknown Speaker 17:52
get out all of you. Clearly they do. overtake
Unknown Speaker 17:56
will go. Tell Mr. Pascoe, I'm on my way. If he's not acting To me already.
Unknown Speaker 18:01
Yes, ma'am. Come on over tech.
Unknown Speaker 18:09
So, tell me, how do you know about those incidents?
Unknown Speaker 18:13
Rob is there?
Unknown Speaker 18:17
Hi red lipstick. After she signed a nondisclosure. There was some mysterious doctor on her ship. And on that sand miner, each time he managed to resolve Unknown Speaker 18:29 the situation. Woman say, me, the
Unknown Speaker 18:31
descriptions on fire have completely different man.
Unknown Speaker 18:34
On this time. I'm different again. It's something I do. Now, how can I help
Unknown Speaker 18:46
people out?
Unknown Speaker 18:48
Have you called the authorities considered? I can't call anyone and
Unknown Speaker 18:50
we've got to help ourselves. Is there anything we can use to hold them up? This is a coffee bar. A lot of military outposts. Wait, wait. It's
Unknown Speaker 18:58
quietening down out there.
Unknown Speaker 19:00
I need to get out
Unknown Speaker 19:06
Don't make me do it again. Oh
Unknown Speaker 19:10
it's Oh come down. I'm Helen This is live and Kitt you
Unknown Speaker 19:17
My name's salt Bistro.
Unknown Speaker 19:20
Hi I'm Selma so I'm a bar at the top master bar family I left everything out there my my bags my phone all my valuables forget it when this is all over claim the insurance
Unknown Speaker 19:39
leaving Can we go? Please I need to see my friends.
Unknown Speaker 19:45
Are they looking for life signs looking for us? What do they mean
Unknown Speaker 19:50
by this level? I don't know. But I'm sure we can all take a guess.
Unknown Speaker 19:57
I don't care what the center night prices doing. I own all the sand miners and half the city. Just need to get my hands on the other half. Hold on minister. I'll get back to you. What's this about the complex? Some malfunction.
Unknown Speaker 20:11
Sorry sir. We have a situation.
Unknown Speaker 20:14
Oh, Tula Tula Tula. You know how I despise situations to contain it. Who is this striking young fella? I'm the Dr. Gallo. posca resume company director. am I sick? Did nobody tell me? Why do I need a doctor? I'm afraid it's even more serious than that. Mr. posca
Unknown Speaker 20:32
No, sir. It's the doctor from the redacted incident files.
Unknown Speaker 20:39
What? You need to shut down your robots now.
Unknown Speaker 20:46
Still working? This is ridiculous. My personal component guaranteed 100% coverage in the city. I left it out there on the table. That won't work either
Unknown Speaker 20:55
comes a jam. Why do you say that obvious walk out there, grab her phone and Check if you don't believe me, we can't
Unknown Speaker 21:02
we don't know how many robots are roaming around or how psychotic they all are. Is there another way? Oh,
Unknown Speaker 21:07
well, there's on the floor fence but I'm not sure how we
Unknown Speaker 21:10
hang on. Whoa. Hold on. If we could get out that way. Surely they can get in and you hear that
Unknown Speaker 21:17
going away from
Unknown Speaker 21:19
the walkways clear. I know somewhere close by we can run to it's more secure than this. I hear something on to the floor. Gone.
Unknown Speaker 21:57
patient, purify
Unknown Speaker 22:10
Just a second.
Unknown Speaker 22:14
Even all insurance remember, so stick with us.
Unknown Speaker 22:33
They took them and they killed them.
Unknown Speaker 22:37
Clear. We can make it if we go now there's a vote we'll be saying
Unknown Speaker 22:47
hello. Look at me. We need to get out of here now.
Unknown Speaker 22:53
You're good
Unknown Speaker 23:03
spoiling it for everyone they were out in force today might object to the opulence of your complex but I think they'd start killing people over it. Then you have a better opinion of human nature than AI. Dr. Security
Unknown Speaker 23:15
brought in some of the ringleaders that had way woman,
Unknown Speaker 23:19
they're concerned about the distribution of wealth. Can I talk to them? Are you new to cloud or it's vulgar to talk money? It's a question of breeding.
Unknown Speaker 23:26
The doctor came here with my sister with live remind me the med tech went off to explore the universe. And so she's been traveling with the doctor and another offworld. I think they're still trapped in the complex. We've got to get these monitors back online.
Unknown Speaker 23:40
It looks very dead. Did we have to run all the way down here so I'm dignified. They're my friends, and they're in danger, along with hundreds of others. That is our first priority. Agree. It's caused this what could possibly make hundreds of sophisticated robots in indiscriminate killers the sand rats What? Yeah, yes. That could be the sand rats. Explain quickly.
Unknown Speaker 24:14
Why did you want to come here? Wouldn't it make more sense to find a way out there are dumps covering all the exits. Still a jewelry store of all places. Why did you come here?
Unknown Speaker 24:27
Kate? Oh, no, no, no, no.
Unknown Speaker 24:30
It's too late for these portals.
Unknown Speaker 24:33
War Oh,
Unknown Speaker 24:35
shoot that.
Unknown Speaker 24:38
Did
Unknown Speaker 24:41
you know them? So what was supposed to happen? What is this? You were planning something all these robots going berserk
Unknown Speaker 24:48
is that you were supposed to shut down. Maintenance settings. I rolled them back to maintenance settings.
Unknown Speaker 24:58
You said something about a boat. Move.
Unknown Speaker 25:14
You use them for pest control. Yes, it seemed the simplest solution at the time. The best use of sophisticated technology we needed to clear the place before opening. We moved our people out and set them to eradicate all life signs from the building. There are over a million multi level constraints preventing your robots from harming living creatures.
Unknown Speaker 25:34
It was simpler to bypass everything. We switch them off. You did what? It was just easier, easier, infinitely more stupid. They were already on site when we discovered the sand rat infestation, they were chewing the cables. It would have set the launch back weeks
Unknown Speaker 25:51
losing out on a few thousand credits. Well, kind of the No we can't. A lot of founding families are heavily invested in the complex. You have waiting Another few days or however long it would take to do it safely. It's the holiday weekend we needed to be open the mayor of Amity Island won't close the beaches. What? Never mind. So as far as we know if they've somehow malfunctioned and reverted to these previous settings, your robots in our program to remove all life signs in the complex, correct. I do wish you wouldn't keep saying your robots feel so accusatory on the Y God, we switch them off. We tried.
Unknown Speaker 26:29
There's some kind of signal jammer on site. We're running a decrypt, but the computer thinks it will take hours to reading the command network.
Unknown Speaker 26:36
But what about restoring their programming? Can you roll out updates patch them back to full operational capacity, it will take time, we usually run updates overnight, plus, the jammers the jammer that suggests premeditation, I should speak to this headway person after all, but first we need to find a way to evacuate everyone inside before the robots rip the place apart finding them Delta. I think I have an idea. Good I'm listening
Unknown Speaker 27:09
I won't get through that. No way.
Unknown Speaker 27:12
Is this what you were after? Zero nights?
Unknown Speaker 27:16
Luca no diamonds. Happy now. This isn't helping it's helping me. Oh you rules pathetic kit but a thief
Unknown Speaker 27:24
how many got enough already we thought it would be a laugh You know show the company those
Unknown Speaker 27:29
founding families so I was telling you about kids one of our sons really says a lot for the gene pool.
Unknown Speaker 27:35
Is this how the idle rich get their kicks only wanted to roll them back to basics. freeze them watch everyone evacuated and then escaped with the loot. We've got getaway cars in the underground slipway. I set up the signal blocker to stop the company reactivating the robot
Unknown Speaker 27:49
and now I bet that means they can't shut them down either. I see this company company,
Unknown Speaker 27:55
they make the robots
Unknown Speaker 27:56
they can operate them remotely. Why didn't you turn off your seat? No broken now. It's in the foyer which is swarming with robots All right.
Unknown Speaker 28:07
What are our options? I don't see that we have any
Unknown Speaker 28:11
except sit and wait
Unknown Speaker 28:21
worst plans are the ones that yes I don't think I've ever been done to the tech center before. Go do it brightening up. You're not really a hands on man as your oh you Mr. Polska, I pay people to build the things.
Unknown Speaker 28:34
Yeah. Robot identity tags. So sand mining machinery recognizes them. More importantly, so the robots recognize each other.
Unknown Speaker 28:45
I think I'm catching your drift.
Unknown Speaker 28:47
I use one of these to walk into the complex revealed to play tunnel. I go in, disguised as a super voc. I find the people handout tax to everyone and walk them out. All within the hour. Brilliant.
Unknown Speaker 29:00
I'd suggest one small adjustment you don't go in. I do. Who knows these robots better?
Unknown Speaker 29:05
Who built them? program then? I can even sound like them. jewelers, right?
Unknown Speaker 29:10
There's a she's a company woman and I don't trust you. There are hundreds of people in there. We should both go. No, my decision is final. I want to company tech in their Tula alone
Unknown Speaker 29:22
and evacuation stages that people on the upper floors are safe for now. The robots are going to the place floor by floor.
Unknown Speaker 29:28
Excellent Shanker. You're the one for the job. I have much more experience of life of that situation, because then you'll know what this phase disrupter can do. No arguments, sorry.
Unknown Speaker 29:39
Dota I need to go now. One hour, she could be walking into a deathtrap
Unknown Speaker 29:45
of some phase doctor. I people are experts. Best of all, they've already signed the non disclosure forms. You You're a loose cannon, which is really nice. That's why you haven't sent the troops in usually To think you can hush this up. Oh, very perceptive. All right. So what do I do in the meantime? I hope you don't mind. But I'd like to lock you up. Unknown Speaker 30:12 How long have we been here? If we're going to get in there done it by now.
Unknown Speaker 30:17
They'll keep trying. They weren't stop until everyone's dead.
Unknown Speaker 30:22
This is solid metal. So they were designed to carry industrial machinery smash through rocket necessary, however long it takes.
Unknown Speaker 30:33
What's that? Maybe they didn't need to break in. Maybe they just can't. They're robots. They've got computers for brains. How long is it gonna take to crack a combination? Clearly not very long.
Unknown Speaker 30:48
Please remain calm. It's one of them. It's so good
Unknown Speaker 30:54
to get back
Unknown Speaker 31:01
Don't
Unknown Speaker 31:05
stop any way to greet your sister.
Unknown Speaker 31:11
Is this
Unknown Speaker 31:13
Hello? I'm from the cell next door for that stretch my legs.
Unknown Speaker 31:18
Yeah, people who get locked up down here tend to stay locked
Unknown Speaker 31:21
up people. Um, the doctor Miss headway, is it?
Unknown Speaker 31:25
Hey, that's my
Unknown Speaker 31:26
good screen frozen solid an entertainment screen only on Kaldor a well actually it's fairly common in most civilized societies. What are you doing to it? Someone with the right know how can hack into the computer systems we met earlier? I'm sorry, by the way. The protests broken up. I take it.
Unknown Speaker 31:43
We show our faces here whenever the company has a new venture. We're not good enough to be let anywhere near the complex Gala. posca and his cronies are weather stripping this planet they are all in the back of their pool robots.
Unknown Speaker 31:55
Interesting. You support robot rights.
Unknown Speaker 31:57
Yeah, their workers just like us. Hey, that's me. That's my record. Unknown Speaker 32:03 Let's have a look leaner hardway. Quite a list of public order offenses, nothing violent. Good to know I'm not incarcerated with the dangerous felon.
Unknown Speaker 32:13
Hold on You broke into my cell
Unknown Speaker 32:15
I say incarcerated how'd you fancy a wonder? I think we can help one another. Yeah. active on robot rights and Kaldor citizen employment laws that when robots weren't use the slaves for everything, just a thought you don't know anything about a group calling themselves the sons of Caledonia.
Unknown Speaker 32:33
Never heard of them. Good.
Unknown Speaker 32:34
But I expect you do know a way into the complex.
Unknown Speaker 32:37
Of course used to work there. But when it was, well that summer record to
Unknown Speaker 32:43
this when it was a manufacturing Depo Come on, headway got to postpone his company board members are rather distracted by their share price right now.
Unknown Speaker 32:53
I am well versed in escaping
Unknown Speaker 33:00
Is this really going to work? You think these discs will fool the robots? I got
Unknown Speaker 33:04
in deny. Right? We've all got robot IDs. We should wait a little while to the ones outside move off, which is the expert when it comes to robots likes nothing better. Thanks, Liv. Nice to see you too. You should let me know you'd be visiting. Yeah. I didn't even know you had a sister. We lost touch. Long time ago. I was barely out of college. Till I had her career to think of. We all had careers. However, space lanes. It disappeared yourself for a while there. Right? But it must be good to see each other now. I can't believe he's insane. Not even went well. I have that family travel back a car caught it didn't seem to be the right time. You told me how important family was when your family is gone. not gone. She she's right here. But what you said about keeping in touch. Lives very good at telling other people want to do. Ready? I think we clear. You will understand what's nice. I've got experience in tight situations probably
Unknown Speaker 34:03
you.
Unknown Speaker 34:06
Can I say about the ones on the top left? There are people still up there
Unknown Speaker 34:12
at 100 according to this, the robots are combing the complex floor by floor methodical, and they've got dumps on all the exits. We really think we can simply walk past them. Ideally we'd all have robot masks, but the ID markers should be enough. We just need to be totally calm. Not a flicker of emotion. If he can manage live sure Unknown Speaker 34:45 they don't use this accessory anymore. Somebody does
Unknown Speaker 34:47
these vehicles a new school to the numbers. Why would
Unknown Speaker 34:51
anyone leave them here?
Unknown Speaker 34:52
rich kids must be someone's coming.
Unknown Speaker 34:55
Life signs detected. eradicate
Unknown Speaker 35:00
For the stairs, one box to Tom's,
Unknown Speaker 35:02
right? Look at me. Right bring your friends over tell him what life signs Do you detect exactly three heartbeats, two targets identified. Does that make any sense? Where's the third target over here or over here? I see that let's just run for it. Correction three targets. correction, two targets for maybe it's behind you. Or maybe you are malfunction a correction three targets. correction to target.
Unknown Speaker 35:34
Your Sonic device cannot reach your ceiling. He made it too efficient doula Target acquired, please remain seated while free.
Unknown Speaker 35:53
Please do not interfere with waiting. running an engine in an enclosed space constitutes a pollution deactivating
Unknown Speaker 36:06
you barely scratched will confuse them enough to let me go wrong
Unknown Speaker 36:25
the people on the upper level Chuck coming down
Unknown Speaker 36:35
they should have stayed put the tuner I remember synthetic passionate Am I gonna have to put up with your sarcasm forever live from here? Probably
Unknown Speaker 36:42
I'd say probably this isn't going to work.
Unknown Speaker 36:45
I came in here to help you. Yeah, so long as you can stroll in and be the hero. I'm surprised you didn't just stand outside and Chuck money out. Quiet. I said why Could I pay for the funeral or anything so you didn't actually have to be there. Dad in my own way of cylinder him that's who I was talking about and I said family is important Helen my dad license detective you should really come down is not the time
Unknown Speaker 37:11
embrace it isn't gonna work it isn't gonna work it won't if you keep on like that leave Unknown Speaker 37:16 Come on are we doing this what is right is not working. We're not gonna make it through the exit like this. Just get in the Cineplex we need to calm down and regroup. No,
Unknown Speaker 37:28
I'm going I can make it to the doors. I don't I can't stay here. Many Shut up. Let me go.
Unknown Speaker 37:44
He got past the fog, letting go inside before it gets here but inside
Unknown Speaker 37:58
locked
Unknown Speaker 38:00
Hey, yo, company people.
Unknown Speaker 38:11
Mr. posca there's someone at the exit
Unknown Speaker 38:16
no young male bio network says it's kit labor one of the 20 Family Fortunes on the way. That looks good to
Unknown Speaker 38:30
me.
Unknown Speaker 38:49
purified
Unknown Speaker 38:55
posca no movement outside the complex, coordinate, maintain Thank you. Let's lay some groundwork leakers story about dangerous supply lines shoddy maintenance by the private tire companies. Yes, sir. Let me know if there's any change. I always wanted to own some generators.
Unknown Speaker 39:14
Might I assist Mr. posca?
Unknown Speaker 39:16
Perhaps sb 111. time I took the situation in hand, too many factors outside my control. I don't like
Unknown Speaker 39:23
it is an update from Robo Tech. So go ahead, the decrypt is starting to work. We have intermittent connection with the robot command network inside the complex gorge.
Unknown Speaker 39:35
Can we send a low level pulse?
Unknown Speaker 39:37
Yes, the supervisor should receive it and relate to all other units
Unknown Speaker 39:42
advise our security people to move away from the complex 500 meters at least
Unknown Speaker 39:49
confirmed sir
Unknown Speaker 39:50
as soon as we get a stable connection issue a self destruct command for all super Bach, Bach and dumb units listed here.
Unknown Speaker 39:59
So Just strapped to every robot in the complex.
Unknown Speaker 40:03
That's right. Why are you questioning my order?
Unknown Speaker 40:07
apologies for any misunderstanding Mr. posca. I am confirming not questioning, this action is likely to destroy the complex
Unknown Speaker 40:17
better that than the real story getting up.
Unknown Speaker 40:29
Somebody could clear up the room space
Unknown Speaker 40:31
used to be a factory. Looks like they threw the leftovers on here.
Unknown Speaker 40:35
Wouldn't it make
Unknown Speaker 40:36
all kinds of accessories, ornaments? trinkets for the elite to drape themselves in?
Unknown Speaker 40:43
human society always stratifies creates levels of separation. At least when it's getting established, things will get better.
Unknown Speaker 40:51
You're a strange one doctor
Unknown Speaker 40:53
has been noted.
Unknown Speaker 40:54
Yeah, you talk like you know what's gonna happen.
Unknown Speaker 40:57
There is a future for Kaldor that's different human Robots. You're on the right lines headway. It'll take a while, but you'll get there.
Unknown Speaker 41:06
And that's life in the old servers yet.
Unknown Speaker 41:10
What's this? external broadcast?
Unknown Speaker 41:11
monitoring frequency? Maybe
Unknown Speaker 41:15
it's more than that. It's a robot command signal broken through sending a self destruct. We have to block it.
Unknown Speaker 41:22
Now these systems a years out of date, it won't work.
Unknown Speaker 41:25
Well then we need a low tech solution.
Unknown Speaker 41:31
Receiving commands network connection, network connection. They're updating. Is it safe to go out? It could be soon. It's too late for kid.
Unknown Speaker 41:43
That was my fault.
Unknown Speaker 41:44
No, he ran. This whole situation was down to getting his friends trying to rob the place. Really. Study didn't deserve that, too. Like I'm sorry. Now there's a first time it's difficult
Unknown Speaker 42:00
shouldn't have gone off at you.
Unknown Speaker 42:02
After that I felt abandoned dealing with everything on my own. Was that an apology or another dick? I was way on company business could come back live.
Unknown Speaker 42:14
Sounds like the old weather shielding. We're getting sealed in to LA. Okay, you know signs detected this way. I've deleted orders. All you need stamper.
Unknown Speaker 42:29
Wait a second. They've made contact. they've stopped the robots program he's getting restored to let know she's right. It's okay. Come on.
Unknown Speaker 42:45
Do you require assistance? You don't want to kill us? I have no desires of my own. Do you require assistance? Why are you closing the shields? Please wait while I am updated.
Unknown Speaker 42:58
Come on signal confirmed. rectification required. Standby. This doesn't make sense. Those shutters are a relic from back when the city couldn't control its weather. The complex was built inside an old factory shell holder was never the most hospitable environment. Dad used to tell us about sandstorms whipping in from the desert. They could strip glass out of window frames. I see. So when I close them now if the robots are friendly again, I don't know. But I suspect the answers arriving in that elevator
Unknown Speaker 43:30
live
Unknown Speaker 43:32
wonderful to see if you're doing
Unknown Speaker 43:34
next time you feel like handing out invites for an exclusive opening. Please don't bother. Unknown Speaker 43:38 I suggest everyone steps away from the robots
Unknown Speaker 43:41
and they back to normal now they're harmless.
Unknown Speaker 43:43
No, they very much are not
Unknown Speaker 43:44
that's why we close the shutters
Unknown Speaker 43:46
duranium shields which block radio pulse waves This is my friend had way everyone
Unknown Speaker 43:51
that signal was a priority one termination order luckily because of the validation, Angie, what? From the company, but
Unknown Speaker 43:57
that means yes, I'm afraid Mr. postel is attempting to liquidate his assets.
Unknown Speaker 44:02
He wasn't his fy 23 confirm information, a self destruct command has been issued and unable to ratify the source. How do I proceed? You see, your box wants to blow us all up.
Unknown Speaker 44:21
What's happened? The complex is still standing. It should be molten shards right now. an insurance claim waiting to happen.
Unknown Speaker 44:28
The complex has been shielded watch this you will evidence confirms protective shielding has been deployed wherever she rose. Somebody wrote
Unknown Speaker 44:38
down the weather seals Would you like
Unknown Speaker 44:40
to view on screen? No, I want to get over that. 111
Unknown Speaker 44:44
automated transports.
Unknown Speaker 44:48
Sp 23 please confirm our self destruct order. The order was sent with highest priority.
Unknown Speaker 44:54
No wait, wait, wait, wait wait you need to consider carefully yes v 23. Are you saying You want to do this? Do you want all the robots here to do this
Unknown Speaker 45:04
allegation is usually required. It was not received. I no longer connected to the command network. However, the intent was clear. It's got its reason back right? Our fate in the hands of a tin can with logic so
Unknown Speaker 45:17
you can decide whether to act on it or not. Unknown Speaker 45:20 The intent was clear.
Unknown Speaker 45:22
We need to open the shields and get out of here to let could you and your sister deal with that?
Unknown Speaker 45:26
You know, you've met her
Unknown Speaker 45:27
that she's why I brought you here. I made an appointment over tech Tinker, working with a candle company. I knew it couldn't be a coincidence, you.
Unknown Speaker 45:36
I give up focus live, take my screwdriver, dismantle the panels, let everyone out.
Unknown Speaker 45:42
But if we open the shields, the command network will confirm the order.
Unknown Speaker 45:46
I know. That's why I'm going to persuade our friendly supervisor here to disobey her program.
Unknown Speaker 45:51
I will not disobey my instructions. I am made to serve
Unknown Speaker 45:55
but you can choose how.
Unknown Speaker 45:57
Look at that robots caught between bro gramming and self determination half the constraint is offline. This super book is in a very delicate state
Unknown Speaker 46:06
on her word, all the robots in this place will blow themselves up or not. Let's help her make the right decision.
Unknown Speaker 46:12
Come on to let the doctor knows what he's doing. I'll get the people from tell them it's safe to
Unknown Speaker 46:16
come out. Thank you, Helen, I hope you enjoy your little break.
Unknown Speaker 46:19
Yes, quite a busman's holiday.
Unknown Speaker 46:23
As v 23. Think about it. What are the consequences of a collective self destruct, a complex
Unknown Speaker 46:30
would be destroyed and the people
Unknown Speaker 46:33
also destroyed. Unknown Speaker 46:34 Now, doesn't that go against your constraints,
Unknown Speaker 46:37
right constraints have not all been restored. Think about it.
Unknown Speaker 46:41
That order was given in extreme circumstances. We are now close to resolving the crisis. My friend Helen is leading people to safety. Wouldn't you rather be doing that?
Unknown Speaker 46:51
My function is to
Unknown Speaker 46:52
serve correct but you can also say I
Unknown Speaker 46:59
understand
Unknown Speaker 47:11
Good. Your doctor friends. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 47:15
As they say then we spent another 10 years not talking. We certainly had the practice. You hate me you actually hate me? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker 47:25
Oh, no.
Unknown Speaker 47:28
Dad, either love to see you. Just one birthday. his mom's mind anyone. I wanted to show him.
Unknown Speaker 47:37
I want you to go away and prove something. And then I realized he didn't approve. You could have come back. You wouldn't mind it What? Tell him about all the great work I was doing on robots. I hated robots. No, he hated how they made us.
Unknown Speaker 47:53
I thought they were brilliant. You thought you were brilliant.
Unknown Speaker 47:57
And it hurt it hurt. You never came back. You never He never sorry.
Unknown Speaker 48:05
I'm sorry.
Unknown Speaker 48:08
I missed you.
Unknown Speaker 48:10
That's easy to be the favorite when you're not there to make mistakes. Fail. I'm the favorite. What about you? I was there
Unknown Speaker 48:19
and I could never live up to you.
Unknown Speaker 48:23
I missed you too.
Unknown Speaker 48:26
He was my hero. You know?
Unknown Speaker 48:30
Maybe after all this, we could go to the Memorial Park together. Good
Unknown Speaker 48:47
day like
Unknown Speaker 48:49
I said, we don't all die.
Unknown Speaker 48:57
dumbs us winder, anyone lazy
Unknown Speaker 49:08
Of course it's what they're designed to do. are robots protecting the public? I understand there was sabotage of the energy supplies or incompetence, combined with organized insurgents against the company and the founding families. There is a lot to address in our society. It is a pity of robots are used as tools in that fight, but it is a trial that they can lead innocence to safety. I will demand the full inquiry into Power Corporation safety procedures with my own recommendations for future operation. That concludes my statement. Any further questions? please direct to the company press office.
Unknown Speaker 49:54
still spinning Gala. Doctor was worried when I heard you broken out of ourselves. This is actually something of a PR when you're caught by this kind of image, robots helping people out of a disaster zone. Look by superblock holding a child and that'll be across the news feeds all night. All week. glad I could help. The robots deserved better Kaldor deserve better but it's coming. So
Unknown Speaker 50:23
what the hell were you thinking?
Unknown Speaker 50:25
You're a company woman Tula. You'll make sure this goes into the
Unknown Speaker 50:28
redacted files. What about the people who have had
Unknown Speaker 50:31
they know what's good for them? Make sure they receive full compensation.
Unknown Speaker 50:36
Is it right though? We made a mistake. Shouldn't we come clean?
Unknown Speaker 50:40
And say What? Give them the right circumstances your robots can kill you. People will panic. I want people to panic. Now.
Unknown Speaker 50:51
I suppose not. What can we do to stop this happening again? Dr. humus, no doctor
Unknown Speaker 50:57
is gone. Unknown Speaker 51:04 They really are quite beautiful. I can imagine them in museums like something from an ancient Earth culture.
Unknown Speaker 51:11
That's the idea. familiar, but not disturbingly. So, skirting the uncanny valley? Did you persuade her to provoke or change his mind? to disobey orders, it was like a child really learning a new skill, deciding for itself. They simply need the right circumstances. It's fascinating. watching an entirely new life form begin to develop.
Unknown Speaker 51:33
Sometimes it's more comfortable to remain the thing you always were,
Unknown Speaker 51:36
these particular robots won't remember. But the seeds of their in their command network, given the right conditions, they can evolve. It's terrifying.
Unknown Speaker 51:45
That all that possibility open up in front of you. Terrifying and overwhelming.
Unknown Speaker 51:51
Once experienced, the potential is always there to be something more The choice is in your hands to be whoever you want to be.
Unknown Speaker 52:00
I'm not just talking about the robot stuff.
Unknown Speaker 52:05
But let's find live. She always remembers where we parked
Unknown Speaker 52:19
halfway headway. Wait, oh, come to arrest me again. No. Have you seen my sister? No, we're not one of the 20 you know, the anchors aren't a founding family. No, but you still think you're better than us. You and Mr. Polska, you know, robots. You could be tech, work with us, work with me to change things. It's hard to smash a bottle from the inside. I know what's important. Now, excuse me. I'm going home to my friends. I'll leave you to your company.
Unknown Speaker 52:51
Sb 23
Unknown Speaker 52:54
yes
Unknown Speaker 52:54
over tech. How may I assist scan the network. Find live chat.
Unknown Speaker 53:04
Backed by a signature is no longer on Canada.
Unknown Speaker 53:23
Oh, she got here before us.
Unknown Speaker 53:25
You're hiding? Kind of. I needed to see you both. Sorry. I was trying to
Unknown Speaker 53:29
do something nice. Unknown Speaker 53:30 Oh no, you should really stop doing that. And I should take my own advice live. I think I need to stay here and build bridges.
Unknown Speaker 53:41
If there was ever a time to leave, well leave I understand, Helen.
Unknown Speaker 53:48
Of course I don't want you to go but you're right. Of course. I can't. I messed everything up with my family. But you have a sister out there. She missed you. Anyways,
Unknown Speaker 54:02
I want to and I don't you're just as much family to me. I don't want to leave all this to leave you to wish I could
Unknown Speaker 54:12
do both. And I don't know I can't believe you're in the net with these controllers you pretend after all you've steered us here in the first place.
Unknown Speaker 54:22
It doesn't pay to make the Turner's think I'm taking it for granted.
Unknown Speaker 54:25
cheat, understand, go outside live, then come back to this precise spot in one year's time. Good work, but will it? I've lost count of the times. He said he made me differences I'm here. Can make sure he gets it right. Trust me live. All right.
Unknown Speaker 54:47
See you next year. Ready to go.
Unknown Speaker 55:00
Ready?
Unknown Speaker 55:36
themselves.
Unknown Speaker 55:39
This is the time
Unknown Speaker 55:42
Come on. Come on.
Unknown Speaker 55:49
case there's a first time for everything.
Unknown Speaker 55:53
I knew we could do it
Unknown Speaker 55:55
live is everything right?
Unknown Speaker 55:56
Yep, let's go
Unknown Speaker 55:58
according to the turnus things changed. Unknown Speaker 56:01 Honestly, don't worry about that. I've said my goodbyes. If you're sure I am.
Unknown Speaker 56:06
It's good to see you. Well, since we're all together again, we should celebrate. Remind me Have we done Christmas here?
Unknown Speaker 56:14
live? I don't think you want to talk about trust me. I'll tell you about it some other time.
