I was thinking more along another evil line of explanation based on utility for the creator of the robot but my theory is flawed because the robots don't necessary turn out to be the opposite sex of the creator, if you understand what I am talking about.

That's what 'they' want you to think. I bet the Three Laws of Robotics is never built into the "puppies".

It's strange that we are talking about alternative activities in the Theles Spinner thread and Theles Spinner in the alternative activities thread.

I have always wondered why the sentinents robots built in GH1 are so far more charismatic than their creators. On the other hand robotics is a skill taught at the university in the game, yet you don't get to see robots very often in civilized places.

It's only human to be inhuman.

Anyway, think tanks are cute.So is the spaceship rabbit. Cuteness is probably inconsistant with this game's setting. So we'll probably never see a mech beauty contest, like pxxxmon contests, which is a shame.

Who does the selection?

If you make it so that characters spawn corpses when killed, then you can simply apply a "butcher" skill to the corpse. The skill could also be used as a means of acquiring food.

Hidden skill is cool but a little bit clumsy. You can't do the harvesting barehanded anyway. Maybe a hidden tool that uses existing skills like medicine and science would be better.  An illegal tool that is available only from specific organizations.

I think you only have to use the victim, after the kidnapper is dead. No skill necessary.

Instead, if you use medical skills on the victim, you will certainly mess up and fail. Why? I think it's because it overwrites the use of STC VICTIM-1 but did not overwrite the clue.

When I fail, the mayor only says "All is lost". When I succeed, the mayor gives me the reward. Whatever the case, the quest is stuck in my memo.

I remember in earlier version of Gearhead, it is possible to be too late for the victim at the scene after you go thorugh all those tidious tracking. I guess the difficulty is tuned down a bit, but the quest becomes buggy.
