		|  |  |  |  |  | So, I take it you're a TV Tropes junkie, too? |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
    |

		|  |  |  |  |  | I wouldn't say junkie, but it's a cool site. But anyway, the thing about my limbs falling off wasn't just a handwave. |  |  |  |  |  |  |

		|  |  |  |  |  | Oh yeah? Is there an actual story behind it? One that makes some kind of sense? |  |  |  |  |  |  | 
    | 
			
	| 
		|  |  |  |  |  | Indeed. It's a failsafe, to ensure robots don't hurt anyone. Like Asimov's First Law of Robotics. But without the need for such complex programming. |  |  |  |  |  |  |

		|  |  |  |  |  | Right. Because programming emotions and creating nanites to instantly rebuild limbs is so much simpler. |  |  |  |  |  |  |
