I think that is a fair question. But there are examples in various scifi media of robots breaking their programming. I know we'll have wait and see. I'm hoping that there is something in there to allow just that. Breaking their programming that is.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA





YOU MADE ME NOSE SPILL MY DRINK !!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ROFLMAO!!! Now that is funny! Sorry Lenwen! I always make sure my drinks are firmly seated before I finish anything possibly funny on the board. I agree though about Taalismn's post. It was funny.

*Envisions Six riding a mount and toating around a rail gun. Smiles and plans to buy book as well*

Now that is a sight I"d love to see!!!!!!!!!!! WAHOO!!! MINE!!!! MINE!!!! MINE!!!! Great suggestion Pepsi!

Now...

*whispers*

Imagine.... 4,000 Six's..... on riding mounts... with rail guns.... charging into war with the Sploogs... against blind warrior women....

You can have some Sharon's. D'ana's were fugly and annoying. We don't want any of those.

Hospitals will have to create new wings dedicated to Shemerrian Love Syndrome and it's related injuries at this rate

Broken jaws, cracked pelvises, removal of male genitalia from upper body cavities, facial reconstruction, broken hearts...
Oh, and a post-recovery tendancy to try to hit on domestic appliances when on the rebound..."Well, helllllooooo Miss Frigidair..Is that a Swedish name?...I bet -I- can warm you up..."

Or the toasters. *G*

Oh man.. that's good. Gives a whole new meaning to when guys refer to a car or something as a woman

Except that I think that trying to jump-start a Shemarrian could prove fatal to yah...

Ohh, that was good. I'm soo glad I put my drink down before reading that.

And if ARCHIE-3 can cull the humans even more by making them choke on their drinks.....

I hearby take absolutely NO responsibility where this thread has been going.

Well, at some point(though not in the forseeable future) A3's either going to outsmart himself, or somebody's going to figure out the Shemarrians ain't what they seem...
Archie can of course control the manufacture of new Shemarrians, cutting off rebellion in the bud, and they wouldn't have the wherewithal to capture the factory line even if they knew how to work it....But what might happen if the Republicans were to learn what was what? Or somebody figured out from what direction fresh Shemarrian reinforcements were coming from?
The Shemarrians are, of course, programmed to protect their Aberdeen 'birthing grounds', but also to conceal A#'s whereabouts...and if somebody were to figure that the Shemarrians are protecting THIS particular area...the average traveller might not notice in a region of thousands of square miles, and would simply go around as an area among many that it's not safe to go , but the CS with its interest in mapping territory, and identifying future threats, might wonder if there's an active rift or a alien city in that region...and somebody as powerful as the Shemarrians would register up on their list of organized, technologically advanced, d-bees they want to know more about...

I agree with your line of thinking Taalismn. Something like that would definately draw the attention of the CS and other power blocks of Rifts. I'm hoping for some truly indepent Shemarrians from Archie. I mean that would be the ultimate creation.
