Issue: I simply refuse to use the stun gun on any robot in Delta

If you want to make the choice easier:

we know that the smaller & cuter & more helpful robot isn't actually sentient (i.e. a human-robot) but rather a full AI that doesn't have a consciousness. As such, destroying it isn't really killing anything but rather more like taking apart a computer to use some of its component parts.

To be immersed in the world is to take a choice, though. The fact that you can step back and not make a choice is an immediate breaking of the fourth wall, removing yourself from Simon's virtual dilemma. Simon doesn't like this any more than you do and he says so. Going on is the only option for him though.

Thanks for a thoughtful post .... I was uncertain about one robot and my Simon decided it was helpful and may or may not be sentient = no aggressive action.

It is hard to show sentience .... easy to hide it.

Actually the little white robot was a fascinating addition to the game that posed many questions for me. Why was it helping me, its presumed function probably wasn't breaking into air locks, why was it doing it? Is it the same white robot or different ones, or one distributed AI? Why does it help me with some doors and not others ... does it know more than me about whats going on. At this point it is risky for Simon to assume anything
