Summary of Completed Chapters
[b]Chapter 1[/b]
On the day you first built ${robot_name}, you awoke from a dream about a robot ${dream}
to head to the lab. Your graduate school advisor pressured you to make ${robot_name} more
acceptable to the military. After some back and forth, you ended up making a ${robot_material}
${robot_leg_adj} robot with a ${robot_head} head and
*if robot_arm = "gun arm"
*if log_ch1_robot_arm = robot_arm
a gun for an arm.

a ${log_ch1_robot_arm}, which Ziegler would later demand you change to a gun arm.

demoed for Air Force Captain Juliet Rogers.

That evening, you had a few drinks and had hot medieval-themed sex. Come to
think of it, you're a little puzzled as to why this didn't unlock an achievement
or something.
*else
You discovered you were attracted to Juliet, but you didn't succeed in making
a good enough impression for her to reciprocate your feelings.
*if log_josh_life_story
Josh told you that evening about how he'd once been a juvenile delinquent, essentially,
but turned around because he was inspired by Asmiov's book [i]I, Robot[/i] to
make a robot company called "U.S. Robots."
As months passed, you became busy teaching ${robot_name} about the world through
${info_source} and taking ${rhim} to the ${play_location}.
*if log_ziegler_threatened
One day, however, Professor Ziegler claimed that ${robot_name} was not appealing
enough to the military, and demanded you change ${rhim}.
*if log_ziegler_compliance
You agreed, reducing ${robot_name}'s abilities in order to appease him.
*else
You refused,

and Professor Ziegler kicked you out of his lab.

but had not given Professor Ziegler too much trouble previously, so he
kept you on as a student.
*else
*if funding = "none"

Your funding from ${funding} kept you in Professor Ziegler's good graces during this time.
In time, Mark Ali, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, heard about ${robot_name}
and asked for an interview.

You agreed.

You refused, but suspected Mark might try to run his story anyway.
*if chapter >= 4

but didn't allow him to interview ${robot_name} directly.

Mark invited you to his place to try to get to know you better. There, you
found that drones often harassed Mark because various automated algorithms
had marked him as suspicious.
*if log_mark_sexytimes
You stayed the night,
*if log_mark_relationship_started
and decided in the morning that you two would make a habit of this.

but nothing really came of it.
Mark wrote an article that was generally

about you and ${robot_name}.

When Professor Ziegler found out about the article,
he was very displeased,

and finally kicked you out of his lab.
*else
but decided that the most effective way to get you out of his hair was to let you
graduate.
Mark's article

also
attracted the attention of one "robotObsession1987,"
known in real life as ${crazy_name} Cooper.
*if log_ch3_killed_crazy and (not(log_bomb))
In response to ${crer} death threat, you made the first move: you
and ${robot_name} went to San Jose and killed ${crhim} that very night.
*if log_crazy_life_story
When you met up over coffee, ${crhe} told you that ${crhe} used to do
classified robotics work for a government lab, but left because ${crhe} couldn't tell
what nefarious purpose the technology would be used for.
*if crazy_romantic
You found yourself attracted to ${crazy_name}, despite or maybe because of the fact
that ${crhe} was kind of a mess.
*if log_bomb
After threatening you with repercussions if you would not stop making robots,
${crazy_name} sent a bomb to your apartment.

*if log_arm_lost_to_bomb
You lost your arm in the resulting explosion, but replaced it with an arm
of your own construction.

You escaped the blast, but your apartment was consumed in the fire.

*if log_ch3_killed_crazy
had ${robot_name} kill ${crazy_name} in retribution.

${crazy_name} did not trouble you further.

That Saturday, you attended a hipster costume party which was attacked by drones.

You fled, leaving Mark to his fate.
*elseif log_ch3_romance_ultimatum
That Saturday, ${log_ch3_romance_ultimator} asked you to stay out of the limelight
a little more often.

When you didn't agree, the two of you broke up.

You managed to smooth things over, but it felt like a dangerous point in your relationship.

That Saturday, you proposed to ${log_ch3_romance_ultimator},

and your beloved said "yes."

but your beloved refused, and you broke up then.

The next day, you went out with ${log_ch3_new_romance} and decided to go out with each
other from then on.

Unemployment seemed to be common in the United States, and it seemed
people tended to blame either robots or China. Riding on both of these sentiments,
Jacqueline Irons won the presidency.
*if log_ch4_joined_josh
You yourself got sick of unemployment, and decided to join Josh's business after all.
After President Irons enacted a series of protectionist
tariffs to keep out Chinese robots, Sino-American relations steadily worsened.

You were visited by a politician, Jacqueline Irons, who asked for a campaign donation.
*if log_ch4_gave_irons_significant
You gave a significant donation, and

Despite your unhelpfulness,
Irons won the presidency. The newly elected President enacted a series of protectionist
bills that ultimately made China angry, and they cut off the U.S. supply of rare earths.

Your unemployment just happened to put you in the right place at the
