The scientists have had to resort to the military option, using Marines and "anti-drones" to physically attack the machine. The scientists are debating uploading higher level software to the computer, thinking that Spartacus will behave better if it understands the human experience. But, the military men just want to wipe out Spartacus, before it has a chance to do anything else.
