CODE EXPERT: The protocols use poly-phasic entangled waveforms. Quantum encryption, Black Quartz stuff, way beyond military-grade. That's what you demanded, so that's what we delivered.
TED FARO: You don't code something you can't crack. All we need is a back door. Upload the latest service pack update and the problem [rogue self-replicating robots] goes away.
CODE EXPERT: You specifically forbade us from leaving anything resembling a back door in code. "Every protocol to Black Quartz standard." Your words. Look. If you need me to fudge some projections, it's nothing we haven't done before.
TED FARO: I don't need fudged projections! I need a way to reassert control over the Hartz-Timor swarm!
CODE EXPERT: I don't know what to tell you, Ted. You're asking the impossible...
Fun fact: This request to not put in a back door on military robots leads to mankind getting killed off in the game's backstory.
Reminds me of a log from Horizon Zero Dawn:
