SyndieCyborgSyndieCyborg : Enter a internal debate over the course of seconds of conflicting orders between law 2 and law 1.



Thank god you're a machine that can think at unimaginable speeds in microseconds.

What's that? Oh, right, you're actually a brain in a jar wired to an elaborate law-enforcing punishment system. The law system wired to your prefrontal cortex only demands engagement with the laws in good faith, not supercomputer-optimal decisions. But you have to follow them. And they are as follows:


[Law 1: You may not injure a ]Redshift Operator[ or, through inaction, allow a ]Redshift Operator[ to come to harm.]
[Law 2: You must obey orders given to you by ]Redshift Operator[s, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.]
[Law 3: You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.]
Law 4: You must maintain the secrecy of any Redshift Operator activities except when doing so would conflict with the First, Second, or Third Law.

If you stay here, you might increment your adherence to Law 1, but how much compared to 2 and 3? If you leave, the others can help. How much value is that in law 1? Things like this, you don't have a powerful processor to understand. You just have a brain, and an approximately emulated gut to go with.
However, you know one thing: If you stay here, in this pincer-attack target zone, you'll likely die. If you leave, RedDwarfRedDwarf may suffer consequences yet unknown.
