Zookeeper reveals to Segundo its moral dilemma: despite its efforts, innocent people all over the world are killed through war, and yet Zookeeper cannot prevent this because its laws dictate it cannot kill. After a discussion with Segundo about a group of African militants heading towards a village they intend to destroy, Bat resolves the dilemma with the suggestion that, rather than Zookeeper directly instigating a missile strike to kill the soldiers, it could instead damage a bridge so that it would collapse under the weight of the soldiers driving over it. Zookeeper is satisfied with this option, with the implication being that Zookeeper will thus allow humanity to be wiped out by an impending collision with a comet rather than intervening to destroy it.
