You'd need to be so careful there. Truth or not if you gather it the "wrong" way a good lawyer will tie you in knots until hell freezes over.

You know, once you get past the oligarchs and racists, normal humans are actually pretty good.

The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?"

"I did," the robot said.

"How?"

"I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-"

"You are allowed to ask for help."
