Why do they have to be emotionless robots? They can be emotional robots. I mean, to go with the heat-death-of-the-universe concept, they could be the uploaded consciousness of people whose corporeal bodies died billions of years ago, squabbling over the last functional solar systems in a black galaxy.

"welcome back, combat-mind. I'm afraid we had to recycle our memory storage during the long low-power sleep of interstellar travel in order to survive the long trip... so we're starting from scratch a bit here. The research minds are all set to re-construct our inventory of designs once we start finding some hostiles to study, but at this point we haven't got much to work with. Even though your memory is gone, we think your intincts should still be there. Let's get started - there's some hostile indigenous creatures inhabiting this asteroid, and we need to establish a base of operations". Begin a comm-only mission of eco and defense against chickens.

@Licho - yeah, I loved the wacky theme of CA. A funnier plot would always be best... but the whole "heat death of the universe" thing implied by the name does tend to lend itself to nihilism.
