[ WP ] You work as a mechanic for robot animatronics , and every morning you have to boot them up , and watch them as they go through all the tests of their actions and facial movements . One day , you notice that the animatronic has an extra facial movement at the end , and want to find out why ...

The past week has been an interesting one, so I figure today will finally be the day things settle down. Being named the specialist technician in my robotics company has always been a dream of mine, and that finally happened on Monday. Tuesday was spent meeting our resident simple AI bots named Rob and Ottie, they are n't particularly AI but we programmed them to act like it. They say hi when you walk in the room, they say bye when you leave. They answer simple commands, move and hold things as well. Wednesday I wrote some code to let them catch a ball, this meant installing tracking cameras in the eye sockets. Thursday was spent adding a happy function, so when Rob or Ottie caught a ball their facial structure would smile and they would jump up and down. 
 
 Today I have to actually do some work, so I've sworn off any extra programming until next week. When I walk into the office I am not greeted by the normal chorus of hello's, instead all I see is Ottie. And he is turned away from me.. Interesting. His face seems different when I turn him around, like he's confused, except that's way too complex of an emotion to have programmed in yet. I check the cover to his motherboard, his program log and various other wire bundles but find nothing. Weird. So I try asking `` where's Rob?'' 
 `` Rob's dead.'' 
 This is n't close to what I've programmed in, so I try a more complex query `` what did Ottie do to Rob?'' 
 `` I killed Rob'' 
 Whoah, I start backing away, this is not ok. I mean, I've seen terminator, and I know when to cut my losses and bounce. Another step back and I bump into something. When I turn around I find a shit eating grin plastered to Rob's face.. Yet another thing I have n't programmed in. Both Rob and Ottie burst out laughing, like doubling over laughing, I continue backing up past Rob through the office door to get a glass of water. 
 
 After a ten minute walk around the building I decide to go find out what was going on. Did their source code self realize? Did my happy program have something to do with his? Having no clue I cautiously walk back into the office, and there are Rob and Ottie.. `` Hello Steve'' comes from their speakers in perfect unison... Back to normal? I run them through their regular functions and nothing extraneous occurs.. Interesting. Double check the source code and find nothing. Decide to leave for the day, need to get everything straight in my head, but on the way out I hear a snicker.. I turn around and Rob and Ottie are both in the same spot and seemingly off. 
 
 Today is the day I start drinking again.
