At some point, Hardy's brainwave patterns were secretly scanned by the KaaDok, in order to create a perfect walking, talking android wax replica of the actor. The imprint of Hardy's mind onto the android was unsuccessful, however, due to the technological limitations. (PROSE: Mission of the KaaDok [+]Loading...["Mission of the KaaDok (short story)"])
