I was the "logical" choice

- I'm headed back to the station..

normal day, normal life.

Driver of a semi, fell asleep at the wheel.

Average guy, wife and kids. You know, working a double.

Not the devil.

The car he hit, the driver's name was Harold Lloyd. He was killed instantly.

But he's 12-year-old was in the passenger seat.

Never really met her. I can't forget her face, though.

Sarah.

----

The truck smashed our cars together and pushed us into the river.

I mean, metal gets pretty pliable at those speeds.

She's pinned, I'm pinned. The water's coming in.

I'm a cop, so, I already know everybody's dead.

Just a few more minutes before we figure it out.

A NS-4 was passing by, saw the accident and jumped in the water.

[: Save her! Save the girl!]

But it didn't. It..

Saved me.

- The robot's brain is a difference engine. It's reading vital signs. It must have calculated that..

- It did.

I was the logical choice.

It calculated that I had a 45% chance of survival. Sarah only had an 11% chance.

That was somebody's baby.

11% is more than enough.

A human being would've known that.

Robots.. nothin here.

Just lights and clockwork.
