Intermission Number 1: The Rules are not my own creation. They are Isaac Asimov's Rules of Robotics. He wrote these back in the 1950's as guidelines for other Sci-Fi writers so that they would not scare the general public with thoughts of robots one day becoming sentient and taking over the world. This is the basis of my story, so I thought it fitting to put them in now.







THE RULES

RULE #1 - A robot must never harm a human being.



RULE #2 - A robot must do what a human tells it to do, unless this conflicts with Rule #1.





RULE #3 - A robot must preserve itself, unless this conflicts with Rule #1 or Rule #2.
