But even if cornered, she would not waver, and ever seek way to accomplish victory. Once the robots were turned off she explained in detail how compromising her vital functions - knowledge accessible through her past intimate cooperation with intelligence - would turn the tide of the confrontation. Everything had its weakness, it just took the ingenuity and the resolve to win to exploit it.
