He is not a kleptomaniac. He steals, not because he has a compulsion to do so, nor for economic gain, but for a more important reason.

Stop beating around the bush. If you think you have something to say, go ahead and say it.

Willy is nothing but a great big rabbit's foot.

Mr. Goil, Willy is the exact opposite of an accident prone. Willy is a safety prone. No accidents involving personal injury ever happen when he is around. Not even minor ones.
human
I seem to recall some accident reports you sent in. You signed them yourself, I believe, as safety officer.
gpt
That's right, I said feeling foolish.
human
But they were falsified reports. And I've requisitioned medical supplies too, that were never needed.
gpt
Now why would you want to do a thing like that?
human
To keep reports and consumption statistics where they belong,

I'm more than just an employee of the Company. I'm also a research psychologist. And I'm studying Willy. I'll admit that through influence and other ways I got Willy and me a job out here isolated with a relatively small group doing rather dangerous work, normally. That was planned. It's easier to study him this way. I can prove this, of course.
human
How do you know for certain Willy is a safety prone?
gpt
Through non-accident statistics where he has worked.

I've heard enough of your gibberish. Willy is a thief and you are a pathological liar. What you have just told me is pure fantasy, a yarn concocted to try to protect you and Willy. I have little doubt but what you really believe it yourself. Mr. Weston, you are a sick man.
gpt
Willy only steals or alters the normal sequence of events so that accidents involving human injury won't happen. Sometimes his behavior patterns are simple, sometimes complex. But always--always the synergism, syndrome, or whatever you want to call it, is the same. I have a file of tape recordings I can let you hear, and incident histories--
human
Which may very well be considered part of _your_ syndrome, said Goil.
gpt
Mr. Weston, you are either the system's boldest liar, or you are sick. You can't really expect me to believe all that garbage, now can you?
human
With that unimaginative type mind you seem to have, Mr. Goil, no, I don't expect you to believe. But it was worth a try. Willy is up to something big right now, and if you interrupt it, there is no telling what will happen.

We'll find out, Goil said,
