Tobias stood up, his 7'8" frame towering over Dr. Asu. "Then someone programmed it to kill! Possibly one of your damn competitors! Anyone with enough skill can bypass the three laws. The marks show that the fingers are too supple to be a prosthetic, considering those are all designed the be the exact same proportions as the human they are fitted for! And, no human could've accessed Berner's home without forcing entry! A robot did this, and we fuckin' know it!" On the last sentence, he slammed his fist onto the table, causing the desk to crack.

Bill didn't flinch as he snapped the table. "I'm sorry sir... it it IMPOSSIBLE to bypass the three laws. There are security measures to prevent it from happening, and even if it was to happen, what are the motives for a robot killing a human? In any crime there are motives and opprotunity. While yes, a robot would have the opprotunity being at his house, there is no motive to his killing. If anything, the robot would have protect him not only from the three laws, but from being his creator, his father if you will. So if you can give me a motive, I'll consider it. Until then I will not believe you." His voice did not reach any higher volume than it had before.

*Trips and falls into rushing traffic, killing her instantly.*

((ooc: Sorry guys, but I'm really not good at this rp. And since she really didn't have much to do in it, I hope you don't mind me taking her out. But for the rest of you all, have fun!))

OOC: Well, at least all similarites to Resident Evil: Outbreak have now been thrown out the window now that the waitress is dead.

BIC: Jason took a quick look around the area, and then answered Britomir's question

"I'm helping with the programming of the Humbot. While Dr. Asu is handling the 'emotion' part of the programming, I deal with the basics of the three laws, locomotion, logic, and such. I'm basically the Humbot's quality assurance programmer."

OOC: Aw... damn it. The robots aren't out to kill yet... and I've already lost someone! (Pouts) I'm now sad...

"The robot doesn't need a motive to kill. It simply follows it's programming to the very end. It's not the motive of the robot itself, it's the motive of whoever reprogrammed to to kill Dr. Berner. As I mentioned earlier, one of your competitors could've murdered him in an effort to stop the Humbot project. It could've somone who murdered him out of spite. We've many theories. They just need to be narrowed down. Look." Tobias removed a small laptop. He accessed the Roboics mainframe. He spun the laptop to face Asu. "Last night, half an hour before Berner's murder, someone hacked into your mainframe and and infected your security system with a virus. One hour later, the virus disappeared. During that hour, your robots were temporarily unstable. I know because I was working desk duty at the police department, and we recieved thirty-four calls from people who were noticing slight glitches in their robots, all of which, are Roboics models. Coincidence?"

Bill sighed as he nodded at what he said. "Correct, there was a virus, and it did disappear because I was the one who personally fixed it. During the meantime, our robots would have been fine. Why? They are not linked up to the core of the building, not these lower models. Now if it had been the new models, "Humbot" I would have agreed, but I'm sorry officer, a robot may not break the laws! It can not! There have been many measures to counter if someone did manage to somehow reprogram the laws, there are somethings that even I don't know of. It can't be done, and as far as I'm concerned, this line of questioning is over." Bill headed for the door. "I have a project to run."

GM's note: This is not the beginning of the action! This is the set-up so that people know what the heck is going on. There is no reprogramming, and I'm getting tired of it. If I had wanted the action to start as soon as we started, I would have, but not now. If this continues, I'm going to be forced to shut this RP down, and I don't want to do that. I don't mean to be a bastard on this...

OOC: No offense to new members..

This entire RP is made of newbs. Newbs? Don't be so damn n00bish. The GM will specify when you can start the bloody robot killings. That is not now! Are you people just blind or something?

IC: Alex was in the room of the interview, under the guise of an old man. He was there to see what he could learn about the Humbot project for the government, and what he could learn about the robot murderer.

Incidentally, instead of just waiting for the report, Alex's superiors wanted to hear all of the nitty gritty right away.

"Well, then, Dr. Asu." Tobias pulled out a video tape. "This is from a security camera at the old abandoned factory on the outskirts of Boston. Tell me what you see." He inserted the tape into a nearby VCR and turned on the TV. The tape showed a Roboics robot leaping at and kicking Tobias in the chest right before being blown apart by the man's shotgun. Tobias paused the tape and pulled the robot's head from his duffel bag. It was still steaming. He pointed to the Roboics label on the robot's head, and then lifted his shirt to reveal a huge, foot-sized bruise on his chest. "One of your own robots attacked me, sir. This is direct violation of the three laws, of which I believe you are very familiar."

OOC: SS, what exactly is your definition of a noob compared to that of the rest of us, or at least myself?

EDIT: Dammit. *smacks self in head with chair* God, I'm a dumbass!

GM's note: (I like putting that...) It's ok... I didn't want it to happen this early in the game, so I'm willing to over look the whole battle with the bots. You can just delete the posts and edit the last one if you wish... if not, then I will come up with something eventually...
