Martin flees to the other areas of the park, but finds only dead guests, damaged androids, and a panicked technician attempting to escape Delos, who is shortly thereafter shot and killed by the Gunslinger.

Martin runs for his life and the android implacably follows. When the Gunslinger challenges the men to a showdown, Blane treats the confrontation as an amusement but the android shoots and kills him. Martin and Blane, recovering from a drunken bar-room brawl, wake up in Westworld's brothel, unaware of the park's massive breakdown. Meanwhile, the androids in all three worlds run amok, operating on reserve power. However, the shutdown traps them in central control when the doors automatically lock, unable to turn the power back on and escape. The resort's supervisors try to regain control by shutting down power to the entire park. The failures escalate until Medieval World's Black Knight android kills a guest in a sword fight. The malfunctions become more serious when a robotic rattlesnake bites Blane in Westworld, and, against its programming, a female android refuses a guest's advances in Medieval World.
Martin is jailed awaiting trial, so Blane breaks him out and the two head out of town. Martin bursts into the room and once again shoots the gunslinger dead. We don't know exactly how they work."Īfter a night spent with two robotic ladies, Blane is accosted by the same gunslinger Martin killed in the saloon the previous day. In some cases, they've been designed by other computers. These are highly complicated pieces of equipment, almost as complicated as living organisms. When one of the supervising computer scientists scoffs at the "analogy of an infectious disease", he is told by the chief supervisor "We aren't dealing with ordinary machines here. The technicians running Delos notice problems beginning to spread like an infection among the androids: the androids in Roman World and Medieval World begin experiencing an increasing number of breakdowns and systemic failures, which are said to have spread to Westworld. The Gunslinger's programming allows guests to draw their guns and kill it, with the android always returning the next day for another duel. The firearms issued to the park guests have temperature sensors that prevent them from shooting anything with a high body temperature, such as humans, but allow them to "kill" the cold-blooded androids. One of the attractions is the Gunslinger, an android programmed to instigate gunfights. Peter Martin, a first-time Delos visitor, and his friend John Blane, on a repeat visit, go to Westworld. Delos's tagline in its advertising promises "Boy, have we got a vacation for you!" For $1,000 per day, guests may indulge in any adventure with the android population of the park, including sexual encounters and a simulated fight to the death. The resort's three "worlds" are populated with lifelike androids that are practically indistinguishable from human beings, each programmed in character for their assigned historical environment. In 1983, a high-tech, highly realistic adult amusement park called Delos features three themed "worlds": Western World (the American Old West), Medieval World ( medieval Europe), and Roman World (the ancient Roman city of Pompeii).
