What is it with that part of space and killbots?
It keeps happening!
Really a tragedy, too, here. The abolitionist movement already had a huge uphill battle to fight. I guess it does mean less Federation attention has to be pulled away from the ongoing great power tensions though.

There are no words that could possibly describe how happy this makes me.

I guess "Kill switch" loses something in the translation.

Indeed, while a failure in the technical sense, this could have gone much worse.

Of course. And now the Ittick-Ka feel more justified enslaving others, one of their slaves tried to kill them when the opportunity for freedom presented itself.
Thanks Mecar. You've undone all our progress abolishing slavery in the Ittick-Ka polity, people who would've otherwise been free men are now doomed to a life of slavery because freedom is out of the question. I have half a mind to demand that we take him back to the Ittick-Ka to be executed, small minded bastard. Vengeance is great and all, but vengeance is unsustainable physically and emotionally and causes a lot of collateral damage - thus vengeance is undesirable.

Agreed on Mecar. I remember thinking 'Nice job idiot, you've gutted the abolitionists.' I believe it's been noted that it feels great initially, but after a while you're just empty. Generally when it's become all-consuming like with this guy, who apparently planned to kill millions.

To him, it might've been worth it. If he has nothing left to loose and he already feels empty, then he'll simply be back in the same position as where he started - nothing comes from nothing, and nothing can become less then "nothing".

"…the Typhon expanse, the first Federation vessel to chart this unexplored region of space". Cause and Effect has got to be one of my favorite episodes.
That seems an eminently reasonable precaution.
Interesting.
Indeed!
Go Dreamers! Very cool of them
Yeah, can't really blame them on this one.
Uh oh.
Nice! I always love intel updates.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yeah look kid I'm sure we'd be willing to help but that's contingent on no mind control.
Alls well that ends well I suppose. Just another reminder that there's a lot of powerful stuff out there.
Oh. Right. That's happening.
I'm deeply suspicious that we're going to find the solution palatable.
I was expecting sapient robots we would have to fight for but ok this is better.
Ahhh shit. And there we go.
Yeah, I'd imagine.
That went quite badly.
Second House at it again huh? Delightful.

Being fair, catching it is sort of what caused the problem.
At least have a mind to include a kill switch before instead of acting after it starting killing large amount of people including VIPS.

Mecar had hundreds of the things built before they got there, and they had little reason to suspect he was a maniac out to commit mass-murder in an attempt at revenge, and vetting the guy making robots probably should have fallen to the one who hired him on to make them right? He snuffed out most of the hope for Ittick-Ka or Hishmeri society improving without significant outside influence with his temper tantrum. People will point to this and say 'This is what happens when you free slaves.' to paraphrase Guyman.

well i think i read somewhere that those brains are about as powerful as our ships supercomputers so the image of a dreamer mentat is a somewhat scary thought.

Literally stabbing them in the back! You're supposed to use technological advancements to bring kinky fantasies to life, not fascist myths!
This project had so much potential, and now the slavers and luddites of the galaxy are going to make political hay out of this. So much fucking political hay.
Goddamnit.

well at least the protocol worked as intended even if the results where counter to the intent.
