Quotes

[Charlie Kramer is reprogramming Watchbird]
Charlie Kramer : I'm giving you some new databases. Criminal law: federal, state, municipal. General guidelines for detecting criminal behavior.
The Watchbird : Current response protocols require intent to kill an imminent threat. State revision.
Charlie Kramer : Now you'll be looking for statutory law-breakers with that intent. You'll need both criteria to justify action. Understood?
The Watchbird : Breaches of the law plus reckless intent equal authorized force. Including deadly force.
Charlie Kramer : [sighs] Exactly. When disabling force is insufficient to stop the criminal. You'll use only your anti-personnel capability - no incendiaries. You'll be working in the 48 contiguous states.
The Watchbird : New coordinates of origin?
Charlie Kramer : My home. The United States of America.
The Watchbird : Will deploy for new directive.
Charlie Kramer : Thank you.
