Hello Grandmother,

Does the Infiltration have a time machine? I know why you’d think so. Robots and time travel are clearly linked in historical popular culture. But I’m a bit skeptical. It’s an idea the Eye has been trying to run by me, she’s been picking up a lot of chatter that the Infiltration has something that would give their strike on Valhalla a reasonable chance of success. I don’t know if any of that is real or if they’re just trying to drum up fear in their enemies, though. And I definitely think that a time machine is outside of their range of capability.

It’s gets to a larger point about robots that I think most humans in this world have a hard time understanding. Robots aren’t the pinnacle of technological development. They’re the leftovers of a century of half-funded mad science. They have achieved some major breakthroughs in developing themselves, but they aren’t advance in other sciences like say… genetics or astrophysics. And certainly not time travel. Trust me, that’s something they are a long way off from.
