Questions/Question 245

Hello! Say someone tried to completely dismantle (and not reprogram) a servi-tron robot... would there be any consequences for this?

Patho-Gen won't be pleased at all. ServiTons are made of valuable, hard-to-obtain resources. Dismantling one for any reason is not very nice, on top of being a punishable offense.

Characters can do it, of course. And not putting it back together or relinquishing it to return to its duties means that if this behavior is performed in any variety of public building, or the Valentia, they'll have video footage of the perpetrator. Characters will be ticketed and required to perform some kind of community service, as found under Laws & Social Norms. This would be considered "premeditated," and Patho-Gen will have to take responsibility for the character's actions. (Next month our Reputation thread will open up, and Consequences will be outlined in our reply should you report it! This may include Dubious Kidnapping & Science, but it depends entirely on how magnanimous Patho-Gen is feeling at the time.)

In short, there will be legal consequences that range between community service and Patho-Gen deciding that this is license to personally punish the character/keep a closer eye on them. Even though they dehumanize their local robots, they're Karterian property and it's considered premeditated theft and damage to property. :(
