The Warlock's Companion
Christopher Stasheff
THE BIRTH OF FESS


"That's the 'Faithful Cybernetic Companion' series. The program's for extreme
loyalty, as well as the usual total obedience." Al turned to his screen and called up the
program. "It just might be strong enough to counter the Declaration of Independence."
Jose frowned. "How could it…" Then his face lit up. "Of course! If the robot's
extremely loyal to you, it can be totally independent, and still be on your side!"
Al nodded. "Independence might counter an inclination toward obedience, but
loyalty would make the robot do what his owner said to, anyway—unless there was a
damn good reason not to." He shrugged. "But all our programs have overrides for
illegal or blatantly unethical commands, anyway."
Jose felt excitement building. "Then the robot might not have to be destroyed?"
"And you might not have to be fired."
