Not to worry, JP. As anyone who's read Isaac Isamov can tell you, the
First Law of Robotics will always prevail. *IF* Prowlers are ever built,
they would experience the equivalent of a nervous breakdown the first time
they were confronted with a situation where their programming ran contrary
to one of the the Three Laws.
