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. Due to funding cuts upon the research center, only three of these unique robobrains could be spliced a day.

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 after a 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.
