I wouldn't call her creations andriods in the way you are. I don't think they have any actual AI in them, and they definitely wouldn't pass the Turing Test.

That won't be difficult, if we can find them.
[ aren't you glad he's a machine who doesn't care about "his own kind"? ]
But you didn't answer my question about the deaths - not directly anyways. Is your goal to stop the students from killing one another?
