What are they doing in Building 431?
Building 431
“Welcome to Building 431, Timmers.”
“Unh, Thank you Mr. Boudin. Why am I here?”
“They didn’t tell you?”
“No.”
“You’re Robotic AI? I’m Microminiaturization. Look here…”
“Looks like a mechanical bumblebee.”
“Honeybee. We’re manufacturing millions. You program them.”
“For what?”
“To pollinate.”
“Why?”
“Bee populations naturally devastated. You program pollination 101. AI takes over.”
“Gee, they could also control pests. Hornets. Beetles. Weevils.”
“You’re catching on.”
“But. Bluebirds eat insects. If we eradicate…”
“Have robots deliver kill to the bluebirds’ nests.”
“Won’t bluebirds get lazy? Lose instinctual skills?”
“One problem at a time, Timmers. One problem at a time.”
