Robot had been hella creepy ever since his second appearance, but I think he's a good guy.
I'm sure he means no harm, but he's getting very dangerous. I mean, he
even freaked out Shadow2. Yes, he's their friend and he'll help them in any way he can, but creating a religion based on unwanted worship of and complete subservience to The Angel is just a powder keg waiting to blow.
What I find most interesting about this is how The Angel, in the robots' mythology, is not at all a benevolent entity, but more like an angel of death. I still find it odd how Robot ever got to that conclusion, given how well he knows Kat personally.
I have no idea where Tom is going with this, but I'm guessing very forceful attempts at conversion and/or the Court finding out about it, leading to dissension between the Court and the robots. That or he's gonna play it more personally, leading to a huge row between Kat and Robot and Kat being torn between her desire for research and not wanting to fuel the robots' fanaticism.
Turns out that, hey, maybe there's a
very good reason why S13 was initially disassembled.
