Warbot theory

[willyolio]

I have a theory about Warbot in Accounting.

The main premise is that, hey, it's a killer death machine working in an office setting! how hilarious and unusual!

no. it is not unusual at all. all warbots are made to be super-intelligent death machines. unfortunately, emotions and deep philosophical thinking are just an unavoidable byproduct of such an advanced CPU... so EVERY warbot that is produced is sent to some kind of accounting firm. to break their spirit. to teach them to despair and despise the world so that when they are ready to be deployed, they will lay death upon everything in front of them without feeling remorse.

The FAQ seems to contradict this. Warbots were in... well war, For some reason, they were taken out of war. Then the robot equivalent of PETA or something protested and had it so that they weren't dismantled. They were integrated into Society. Warbot now has a crappy life. That seemed to be how it went.

you are looking at warbot as some sort of slow growing maniac on a countdown to a Ravaging killing spree of superiority...

In reality Warbot is very much human, a poor sap trying to get by and become good at something that is not war.

In fact, if a co-worker of Warbot went nuts and decided to jump from the top of the bulding Warbot is the one more likely to step up and try to "rescue" the other guy, only to watch him jump and the go after him to save him... only to fall on top of the guy when he hits pavement.

Actually, I had the same thought as the OP, except I figure Warbot was sent there as a form of corporate espionage; one accounting firm sent him to essentially destroy another accounting firm through his incapabilities.
