UNATCO Killphrase Fails

You know you will be defeated. I know your UNATCO killphrase: Laputan machine. I -- am not -- a -- machi

A four-panel comic shows a Terminator-like robot confronting a cartoon character in sunglasses, who claims to know its UNATCO killphrase: “Laputan machine.” The robot attempts to deny being a machine but visibly fails, ending in a distorted Terminator image. The joke references Deus Ex’s UNATCO and plays on a robot awkwardly trying to reject its identity.
