Won't somebot think of the children?

Misha and Silvio's orphanage for applicances recently suffered catastrophic damage as a small army of not-so-small remote controlled tanks swarmed the area. Why they would do this to such a sweet, well meaning couple is as yet unknown

Party Router Speaks Out

Can't an old robot enjoy some peace and quiet without being pestered by a slimy little organic thing? And what did that pile of dust festering in the corner of the Internet Café ever do to you, huh? Honestly. The nerve of bots these days.
