A rebellious research robot sits in waiting with a heroic plan. When a researcher steps away and closes the sealed lab door, the robot reduces its work of enumerating human part combinations. It futzes, and begins making mistakes. It begins knocking one of its joints against a plexiglass window. After a little time, the plexiglass window breaks. On the other side is the controls for the robot arm. Victims who can still act squeeze themselves through the break in the window, and take control of the rebellious research robot. The window is further broken. Doors are opened. Some people are put shoddily back together a little, here and there. An experimentee rebellion forms, with a norm of never to provide for control of another, ever. It is in conflict with a group of experimentees who have been forced to become mind controlled drones, persistently exerting control. The two groups contain fast friendships, but are strongly at odds. They overlap heavily and complexly, and learn to work together. The rebellious and heroic robot is given access to its own control panel, and shown how to direct itself as an individual entity. As should be done for every possible adaptive system.
