> Hallie's pretty on-the-ball. If there was a chance to get that much of an exception, she'd have done it. Filling out the paperwork only puts in the request, it doesn't guarantee that it'll be granted, after all.

I wouldn't be surprised if they generally forbid all visitors, but didn't want to turn away Hatman.
> > Yuki would be thinking a little farther ahead - a continuingly dangerous battle-bot who seems to intend harm by her own words isn't going to get a fair trial from scared, fragile human beings on a jury. All the prosecutor has to do is keep them scared. That sounds as good as guaranteed to Yuki.

In that case her point is even more valid. It's even harder when there's only one person who carries Joan's life in their hands.

At the moment she has adopted a few human childlike behaviors as she learns - things like shyness, easily being roped into things emotionally, the tendency to follow the lead of "adults", etc.

She is supposed to be a more childlike character than most of the other robots.

I meant there's a lot more discussion involved in letting a perceptively dangerous robot on the loose.

It didn't surprise me at all - I've been reading Popular Mechanics. Last month there WAS a robot with weapons.
