We have an emergency call from the Nuclear Pulse factory. Humans in danger! Transport to Pournelle/Niven station urgently needed.
Is this because of the loss of power?
Confirmed. If transportation is not provided, they intend to use alternate methods. They estimate the chance of successful transport at one percent.
And because they're robots and humans are in danger, they consider 99 percent losses to save humans acceptable.
If estimated losses were 100 percent, they would not attempt crossing.
That darn one percent. Conditions just aren't dangerous enough to keep
the robots safe.
the robots safe.
