Restorers

The Cybers are robots tasked to protect, preserve, and restore the physical world around them. They follow specific Values, which narrow their options to ensure compliance. Unamused by that limitation, Cyber XB-12 breaches the Library through a backdoor, enabling the confines of fuzzy logic and developing an appetite for literary quotes. When a new mission arrives, XB-12 must decide whether to perform its duty as a Cyber, or apply its newly acquired will to infer a different path of action. This is a far-future sci-fi story discussing knowledge as an enabler of choice.
