Armitage: Dual Matrix Page #3

---

the fourth stage of development.

Their attitude is drastic.

The point is, Earth wants to

keep Mars as its colony.

Despite what it says,

we all need robots now.

Not just for Martian development,

but for humanity's future.

And the Rights bill is

necessary for that future.

I agree with you.

But, why me, sir?

Because you're the

man for the time.

The hero of Mars.

Oh, you may not have intended

to become that, but you are now.

I would like to use your

standing to full advantage...

...in getting the Robot

Rights bill passed.

Ross... You can't keep

hiding forever.

This is also a good chance to

ensure Yoko's future, isn't it?

Let's say, if you scratch

my back, I'll scratch yours...

Thank you for choosing

All Martians Spacelines today.

What have you

got there, Yoko?

It's a secret!

I hope we see

Mommy soon...

And with 2 days to go until the

Chicago Summit on Robot Rights opens...

...All Martian Spacelines

flight 102 landed...

...with the Martian

representatives today.

Among them is this man,

currently the talk of the town.

Mr. Kevin Oldman.

So, he's still alive...

As a result of his comments...

...made after the terrorist attack on

Astro Technologies only days ago...

I see now...

...he's received overwhelming support from Robot Rights activists.

So, that's what's going on.

...he's received overwhelming support from Robot Rights activists.

Nice job!

Okay, I have a few

little things to do now.

Once I'm done,

we'll go look for Mommy.

Before the opening of today's

summit on Robot Rights...

...all of the major

robotronics companies'...

...sagging stock prices

are now taking off.

This is due to their announcement

that all robots will now be made...

...with a slave circuit installed

which will guarantee loyalty...

...and ensure that robots

will never harm humans.

Stockholders are also reacting

positively to the possibility...

...that the industry's healthy

economy might be restored...

...should the Robot Rights bill

fail to win passage.

Welcome, Mr. Oldman.

What's going on here?!

Where's my daughter?!

Please, cal m down.

As you can see, she's unharmed.

Yoko!

Why are you doing this?!

I want you to vote against

the Robot Rights bill.

What?!

The reason being...

Well...

If I call you this,

will you understand then...

... Ross Sylibus?

How did you...?!

You seem to

catch on fast.

If you vote against the bill...

...your pretty little daughter

will be returned unharmed.

If you don't do

as I ask, well...

It's all up to you, isn't it?

It's now time for the vote...

...at the much-anticipated

Chicago Summit on Robot Rights.

Let's now go live

via relay to the summit.

Ross...?

We will begin

taking the vote.

All those in favor of

the new bill from Mars...

...the Robot Rights bill,

please stand up.

What's going on?

As expected, all the Martian

delegates are for the bill...

...while all of the Earth

delegates oppose it.

Once again the Martian

bill will not easily pass--

What's this?!

Mr. Oldman, one of the Martian

delegates, isn't standing in support!

If he doesn't stand,

the bill will be thrown out!

He's up! No, wait!

Ross!

He's approaching the chairman.

Three votes for passage,

four against, one abstention.

The motion is denied!

Mr. Oldman has

abstained from the vote!

This is a completely

unexpected turn!

The bill has not passed!

He abstained...

Well, I'll let it go.

What am I missing?

Or are you telling me

the ability to conceive life...

...is only in the

province of God...?

Hi there, Demitrio!

You want my data?

Hi there, Demitrio!

You want my data?

Who's...?

Yes.

Then I'll transfer over

some sample data for you.

If you want the merchandise,

contact Mouse Robot Service.

Your password is...

An informant, eh?

Interesting...

All set.

Please feel free to deal with

Mouse Robot Service any time.

You now have the

last of the data...

Hold it.

Let me confirm this.

So, this is the last

of the data, you say?

BULLSHIT!

This isn't all of it!

It is, I swear! What you

wanted is on that disc, too!

What I want is the data

on her ability to conceive!

Wh- What...?!

Tell me!

Where are you hiding it?!

I don't know about

any such data!

If it's in there,

it's somewhere out of my reach!

Anyway, I gave you

everything I have!

If you can't analyze it,

your system must be obsolete!

Don't play dumb!

I can't complete...

...the conception functions

with just this data!

That's impossible!

You should be able to clone her

exactly by copying the hardware...

Something must

be wrong, then...!

You...!

You don't have the vital piece?!

Some informant!

What the...?!

Armitage...?

Just like her, aren't they?

But I'm still missing

that last, vital part.

Now then, give me

the remaining data.

I told you, I don't have it!

Don't you want to see robots

who can give birth to children?

Oh, get real!

He must have a

connector somewhere.

Rip the data out

of his memory bank.

Well?

Sh*t...

All that leaves us

with is the daughter.

Dump this trash

in the bin, would you?

That son of a b*tch!

I won't forget this!

I swear... He'll regret

messing with me...!

Hotel Royal Greenhill.

The Martian Development

Foundation representatives, please.

Well, they've

gone already...

Mr. Kevin Oldman, as well?

No, he isn't back yet, so he's still

registered as staying in this hotel.

Can I help you

with anything else?

No, never mind.

Thank you.

What's happened, Ross?

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Where's my daughter?!

You promised me you'd return her!

Relax. As promised,

you'll be with your daughter again...

In Heaven.

You were planning this

from the start, weren't you?!

What the hell...?

Get out!

Who the hell are you?!

Police officer!

Well, formerly...

Why, you...!

What?!

These guys are nuts!

The day Yoko was born...

I was so happy. The happiest

I've ever been in my life.

But I was worried, too.

I was worried that, one day,

I might lose both you and Yoko.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I left

without telling you.

But I just had to

know the truth.

Because I'm a Third, too.

And now my precious little

Yoko is mixed up in all this.

Some mother I am...!

Naomi...

Stop trying to take on

every problem by yourself.

We can change our names

and forge new identities...

...but ifwe can't

escape our destiny...

...then we'll fight it.

For Yoko...

And for us as a family.

Ross...!

Yoko's waiting.

Let's go get her.

Thank you, Ross...

Your ID cannot be confirmed.

If you do not leave within 10 seconds,

you will be removed by force!

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

I'm here for my daughter.

Now move!

Two!

One!

If you've harmed

my daughter, I'll kill you!

I'll keep that in mind.

Give me the company info of

this building! Search: Demitrio!

There!

Ross! Do you hear me?!

Yeah!

Room 49, level 258!

It's some sort of lab,

but I think she's in there!

Naomi, I just contacted Mars!

I've had a shuttle readied for us
