'''Grimwade's Syndrome''', | {{first pic|Robophobia.jpg|The [[blood|bloody]] hand of a [[Voc]] triggered robophobia in [[Poul]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Robots of Death (TV story)|The Robots of Death]]'')}} | ||
'''Grimwade's Syndrome''', frequently called '''robophobia''', was a psychological condition among humans who had frequent contact with [[android]]s and [[robot]]s, commonly attributed to the androids moving like humans, but without any of the characteristic and subtle movements associated with humans. In the mind of the afflicted, they appeared to be "surrounded by walking, talking dead men." | |||
During a [[sandminer]] expedition commanded by [[Kiy Uvanov]], one of the crew, [[Zilda]]'s brother, suffered from robophobia and ran outside the mine, where he died. His father had it "hushed up" out of fear that his son would be though a coward. | During a [[sandminer]] expedition commanded by [[Kiy Uvanov]], one of the crew, [[Zilda]]'s brother, suffered from robophobia and ran outside the mine, where he died.
