[He's pretty sure nobody would just go around shoving memory banks into robots willy nilly, so the other robot is probably helping.] Tell Legion it's tied to the injury variable. They couldn't get the robots to accurately try and administer medical care when the Overgrowth was injuring the patients, so they let the robots individually decide the best course of action.
[He's not actually a programmer, but the code he's looking at is fairly easy to understand and he's pretty sure that's what the implementation would be.]
Removing the memory bank must have removed any later updates to programming, because there wouldn't be any reason to do that otherwise. You don't just remove someone's memories for no reason. Maybe, uh. Maybe there's some way to give it a another code push? Give it a new purpose?
