base off military? watch, i bet theyre going to "accidentally" forget to take out that extra minigun turret. or perhaps that "kill john connor" Ultimate directive chip.
or perhaps one of those privacy invading robots thatll start dusting furniture right when you.....make time for yourself..... and totally kill the mood.
