* DoAndroidsDream: In the beginning, Robot tells Frank that, if it fails to care for Frank, it will be sent back to the factory to get its mind erased, which it hopes to avoid. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that Robot doesn't care about its memories, it just said that to coerce Frank into cooperating. As Robot itself points out, it's not really alive, but just an advanced simulation.]]
