Overview
Kolchak uncovers a classified military project involving R.I.N.G., an experimental robot that killed a scientist rather than allow itself to be deactivated.
ASFR Content
R.I.N.G.'s creators installed aggression and survival programming but failed to complete its moral framework. The machine flees, seeks out its former programmer for guidance, and constructs a mask and clothing so it can appear human. It obeys Dr. Dwyer's direct command to stop, but later becomes violent when troops threaten it and is shot down.

Professor Walker attempts to shut the experimental robot down, but its survival and aggression programming causes it to kill him and escape.
R.I.N.G. builds a human disguise
While hiding, the robot puts on clothes and creates a mask so that its mechanical body can pass more easily among people.

When the robot crashes into Dwyer's hiding place, she orders it to stop and the machine halts immediately.
Soldiers shoot R.I.N.G. down
