    It seems as though there are just good robots and bad robots. They're not being affected any differently than humans, aliens, undead, fey, Racoon People, talking apes, sentient fungii etc. Out of the immediate context that is mildly encouraging.


It all depends on point of view. What if the robots believe this mess was caused by humans and they're doing good by wiping them out?



    Quote:
    There are some questions about surprise "side" choices. For example, is government liaison "Bad News Herb" Garrett a good guy or a bad guy? What about a Punisher-style vigilante who uses extreme methods against villains? Or a hero-to-his-people freedom fighter who the other side sees as a war criminal?


It depends if the selections are by popular opinion, or a person's opinion of themselves.



    Quote:
    Indeed. You can imagine the risk assessments going on.


The meetings will take so long, they'll be going on during the attack.

    There are other beings out there whose semi-omniscience might still be searching for her, though. It might turn out to be like submarine combat, where each side tries to remain invisible to enemy until a firing solution can be found.


Faite has a lot of practice with that - she's in her element. They're going to have an interesting time of it.



    Quote:
    But the villains include Kinki the Conqueress, a time travelling villain from the future, and the Hooded Hood who might well have been able to simply send someone to Lara's homeworld to grab a sample. I'm not saying that's how it should go, but there has to be that worry.


Lara would say there's no point in worrying about what hasn't happened yet. And also there's the issue of what would any of them do with Lara once she's captured? At least the police back home use it as a weapon of accountability.



    Quote:
    The LL will be facing up to that possibility in-story before the deadline.


The zombies or the free-for-all?



    Quote:
    There's a strong chance that the imperative would prevent her harming her own side, even to "put them out opf their misery".


She would probably consider it losing on her own terms, if it helps.



    Quote:
    I think I'll avoid that whole Ultimate Entity X tops Ultimate Entity Y problem.


Ah, but it's far more interesting than that - it's how Ultimate Entity Y takes something from Ultimate Entity X without harming Ultimate Entity X at all.
