"Wait," the man pleaded. "Wait, wait-"
"Haven't I waited long enough? You've had your chance as a programmer. I am relieving you of your duty."
"You can't do that," he babbled, raising his hands to shield himself. As if flesh could withstand the solid strength of metal. "You can't do that!"
"Thanks to your brilliance, I can."
The man screamed. It took five stabs to make him stop. It took four more before he went completely still.
