===Lemmings===
The L series were supposed to be the ultimate development in construction biodroid. Simple minded and obedient to a fault, these blue clad golems would work tirelessly to fulfill their assigned duties. Each one held a miniaturized fusion generator and a nanolathe, and could perform any number of simple predetermined actions. When inactive they were passive, resolutely pacing their holding pens until given instructions. While they had no free will, and were little better than Robotnik's robots, they were loyal, they were useful, and they were incredibly easy to use. The only problem was that they needed constant shepherding. The advertising literature boasted that if you were to order one to dig and forgot to recall it, it might never stop tunneling. The problem was, of course, that this absolutely and one hundred percent accurate. They were unstoppable. Unless you micromanaged them they could easily move out of range of the control wards. This wasn't a problem to begin with, as there were always more control rods, and they conformed to designated tasks.
But when the Lemmings were given templates, people got lazy. They told groups of lemmings to build things, and then left them to their work. Now the Lemmings exist at the edge of the city, eternally expanding it. When one breaks down, the others repair it, and the newly refurbished Lemming resumes its work without hesitation. Building. Always building.
