[That reminds me of the Klem Warriors and the smaller bugs. They do the same things over and over. No matter how often you kill them, they will keep doing what they were directed to, and only the larger ones will adapt or try to force you to stop messing with their system.

Like a simple computer program where then NPCs can only react within predictable parameters?] Nico asked, relating the behavior of the infected humans to technological problems that she understood very well.
