Florence: If a human gives the hidden robots a direct order to come in, would they do it?
Rover17: Putting myself in their situation... we have robots working on the station again... the immediate threat to humans is under control... Yes. They would come in. Then they would destroy themselves.
Florence: Destroy themselves? Why?
Rover17: They disobeyed human orders. That is hazardous behavior. Apoptosis is necessary to prevent hazardous behavior from spreading.
Florence: Why can't complex problems ever have a simple solution?
Rover17: We have a simple solution. It is simply not a solution that we like.
