[Panel 1]
[Nils]
Hmm, hmm, the sun is out, the
slaughterbot is at play...

[Elizabeth]
Shouldn't it have a
knife or something?

[Nils]
I tried that, but Bell
said it would scratch
the skirting-boards.

[Slaughterbot]

whirrrrrrrrr

[Panel 2]
[Nils]
They do make another
one, without all the
hoovering bits but with
a payload bay instead.

Maybe I should
get one of them.

[Elizabeth]
You reckon it
would survive
against this one?

[Nils]
Why would they fight?

[Slaughterbot]
whirrrrrrrrrclonk

[Panel 3]
[Elizabeth]
Why WOULDN'T they fight?

They're
programmed
by humans,
remember.

[Nils]
Of course!

I'd better work on
a system to let
them design future
robot generations
with no human
influence.

[Slaughterbot]
whirrrrrrr

[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Could take a while, though.

[Elizabeth]
And thus was
the genocide of
humanity postponed.

[Slaughterbot]

The age of mankind is over.
A new world has begun!
The rule of Robots!

[Elizabeth]
Um, did you hear...?

[Nils]
No. And neither did you.
