Re: ProtectStation needs new wording

How about just "Protect the space station against damage. Anyone you see harming the station is to be no longer considered human" ? It preserves the "at all costs" spirit of the law while removing the "YOU MUST KILL" aspect. AIs won't have to kill anyone, but they will.
