Robotics Quote by Jill Thrussell
““Morgue glanced at him as he started to speak. I create not only robots that represent your departed loves ones by incorporating their DNA into robotic form. Morgue verified. I also formulate past historical figures from DNA samples on fossils and objects which I can make into duplicates if I so desire. Can you imagine Hitler, Aristotle and Freud having lunch together without the scientific complexities of time travel? Can you imagine what they could do with a little robotic engineering to enhance their minds and today's technology at their fingertips?””
