These devices will serve as an important innovative deterrent to crime so we can keep New York City the safest big city in America.
Scene 2: Due to frequent acts of vandalism targeting the K5 security robots, it has become necessary to provide them with a means to defend themselves.
Scene 3: It has become apparent that the K5 security robot cannot defend itself it waits for a vandal to begin his assault. Therefore, we've installed a software update to allow this system to be more proactive it its' interactions with citizens.
