‘We do the good work’ is the unofficial motto of the book, a unifying factor that crosses nationality, profession, and species. R39X and MU784’s love evolves their programming rather than overwrites it. Khurana and Gallup are only able to do what they do inside the system that will imprison them for accomplishing their goal. Sybel and Berat put their lives on the line to save two of the robots that have turned their country into a warzone. None of these goals are easy or comfortable; no one considers quitting. They do the good work, and so do Wessel and Parkhouse.
