CHL 22 aka "Charlie 22"
He was one of the first robots to be designed with human personality traits. This led to robots, seeking equality and freedom, unnerving the authorities who became uncomfortable, deciding to revert back to constructing machines devoid of such sophisticated emotional human qualities. Charlie 22 is the only CHL class robot that hasn't been decommissioned (disassembled). As the quartermaster for the Europa space station, CHL 22 is kept operating because thanks to his unique categorizing system he has made sure he is the only one who knows where anything is!, assuring he is begrudgingly indispensable. He is a hoarder and collector of 20th and 21st century TVs, videos, radios, and music. more story
