X-8 robobrain

X8 robobrain is a gene spliced robot located in the Big MT in 2281.

Background
This variant of the robobrain was created by the gene splicing of a lobotomite and another robobrain, an experiment run in the Big MT to see the effects of gene splicing humans and robots, which subsiquently gave the original brain of the robot a state of awareness.

Location
When you enter The X-8 Research Center, there will be a room to the left. In this room, there will be a Terminal that can be accessed and has the option to splice together different creatures. If you splice together a lobotomite and a robobrain you then create the X8 Robobrain. Unfortunately for the X8 Robobrain, it will explode shortly after becoming self aware. Prior to exploding it will wander around the platform it was created on, asking a lot of questions about its own existence. You can not interact with it except to destroy it or looting its remains.

Behind the scenes

 * The questions and dialogue prior to the robobrain's demise is a lot like the conversations made by Johnny 5, another self-aware robot, from the film Short Circuit.
