The Season's Finale: Karen to Investigate GASP's Biometric Robocops Rapidly Filling Antarctica

Armies across the globe have moved to a state of high alert after reports that the number of Biometric Robocops amassing on Antarctica is well into the millions. Biologists, using new aerial surveillance photos to estimate the size of the horde, have determined that there is a line of green clones steadily streaming from the destroyed Google base which was infiltrated weeks ago by the resistance group GASP. “I'm amazed,” expert on Proto-Human Studies Ovaltine Goose-Shredder said Thursday, “Their rate of multiplication is just unheard of. I don't know what kind of cloning technology Google put together, but it's a high powered contraption.” The discovery has led citizens and international leaders to demand that Google take responsibility for the biometric robocop horde, as the growing problem on the frozen continent is now too much for a single state to take on. Google has responded by completely washing their hands of the matter, with reports surfacing that their executives have fled to private islands in international waters with their mountains of riches. According to Google representatives, “Google never intended to deal with any unforeseen consequences of the dissemination of our technology. Also, Antarctica can't charge us with anything because it doesn't have laws, so good fucking luck sticking us with anything.” Their statements have led many to believe that you don't become one of the biggest corporations ever and then let anything stick you in a corner.

Many have suggested a wait and see approach to dealing with the biometric robocop horde by letting Antarctica take care of the problem for the rest of the planet, as the harsh climate and lack of vegetation would deprive the horde of nutrients, something absolutely necessary for living organisms. After two weeks passed without any noticeable decline in numbers, this bit of global well-wishing was quashed by currently at-large resistance leader Axel Hjalmar, who confirmed that the biometric robocops do not ingest their nutrients, but sustain existence through photosynthesis. GASP estimates that due to the Antarctic conditions, the biometric robocops could be operating at 45% of their capacity for destruction, increasing to 100% capacity with proximity to the equator. Despite the terrifying prospects, Hjalmar is still trying to convince the world to allow the horde to exist and fulfil their programming by destroying all technology, but has been argued down to the secondary benefits of such a plan, saying “[The biometric robocops] could become a greater carbon sink than the Amazon if you let them.” Despite possibly solving global warming, experts still believe this to be a terrible idea, as allowing something to become a carbon sink on par with the Amazon will only give humans licence to destroy the Amazon.

During the fuzzy satellite feed, a revelation was brought about that many experts have been worrying over for weeks, that GASP isn't really sure about what they have created and that the numbers they have thrown out about the biometric robocop's destructive capacities are guesses at best. “They may be more powerful than we designed.” Hjalmar admitted, “The DNA structure we uploaded to Google's database was never tested, as we didn't have the technology to bring them about. The process of turning the code into a living organism could make it vastly underpowered or overpowered, but we must admit, we aimed for overpowered.”

Due to the dangers of walking into a horde of possibly murderous biometric robocops, only one human has decided to travel to Antarctica to see firsthand what humanity is dealing with. “I've realized how I can help. I'm going to do what no other human has been willing to do, to leave my smart-phone behind and travel to Antarctica.” Karen made the announcement in a press conference Thursday that she “will see firsthand what the biometric robocops are up to, and what they are capable of, and if I can disable the cloning device that is allowing them to replicate themselves.” Even though she is the only person willing to confront the biometric robocops, the response to Karen's heroism has been a discriminatory “good riddance” from the rest of the world due to her status as the first undead human. Karen is convinced that the biometric robocops will either see her as a kindred spirit or be terrified of her like everyone else is, and thus not immediately destroy her. Karen's husband, Ovaltine Goose-Shredder, disagrees. “Is Karen technology? She's advanced, she's had one more death than anyone else has, and she's got lots of little dits and do-dad's inside her to mimic bodily processes. I don't think they will take kindly to her, and I'm really worried about this.” Despite his objections, Goose-Shredder is currently the only person supporting Karen's endeavour. “She's found the first place where she fits and it completely makes sense to her why she's back now. She flat out needs to do this, so I helped her outfit a sailboat for her journey. The only thing left to say is Godspeed.”
