The Lonely - Recap

Allenby, the captain of a supply ship, takes pity on Corry, and leaves him Alicia, a robot that looks and sounds like a woman. Corry is repelled by the robot, but eventually falls in love with her. Allenby returns one day and tells Corry he's been pardoned, and they've come to bring him home. Corry can only bring back fifteen pounds of gear, which means he must leave Alicia behind. Corry refuses to leave without her, so Allenby pulls out a gun and shoots Alicia in the face, revealing a mass of wires. Allenby tells Corry, "All you're leaving behind is loneliness." Stunned, Corry replies, "I must remember that, I must remember to keep that in mind."
