you mean, why did he start babbling "Error, error! Must analyze error! Faulty!
Faulty! Must sterilize imperfection!" ? You're right, they had time to put some
anti-grav thingies on him, run through the corridors, and get him on the

sterilize imperfection!" What if he'd gone "boom!" right there on the pad?!

errors, you are flawed. Execute your prime directive". "Boom!") and Landru
("You are not protecting the Body!".... "Landru! Help me! Boom!")
