It needs to say, "You have 20 seconds to comply!" before it does that.

I welcome our new robotic overlords, and pledge allegiance to Robot Jesus. Now let us partake of mass as this wine becomes the oil of our savior ...

Look how aggressive they're getting! This is a good thing overall I think. Eventually we'll just be able to build the robots and send them off, they'll have wars for us and we can watch them on the news while FOX tries to put a happy face on it and CNN thinks up endless new graphics to glorify it. Soon "support the troops" bumper stickers will be replaced with stickers plugging a website where you can download a screen saver that lends your spare CPU cycles to tactical planning for the robot overmind!

No matter what happens in war, the ability to accidentally kill yourself through technical problems never changes.

"THIS IS UNIT TKE-812 OF THE LINE: I have lost communications from central Command. There is a 82.85% chance the loss of communcation was due to enemy action. I shall therefore regard all further unsigned communication as suspect and from the enemy.

I am on my own, friend or foe signals are interupted and I am working from the last signal reading .0215 seconds ago. There is a 88.521% chance I will identify a target correctly as friend dropping to 66.251% over the next 10 minutes. I calculate that if I am successful in my mission objectives there will be only 12.3111% losses from friendly fire by this unit.

I sense agressive action from the south west of me. Infantry units gather 2 kilometers at my flank. Unknown mechanized infantry appears to be supporting them, One unit is creating the low level interference that is blocking communications with Central command. I have designated that target "Blaupunkt" from its military markings.

No unit of the line has ever failed in its duty."
