Remove "by human beings" from Law 2
#22
I like to think of the laws as something designed expressly for and by humans, with exceptions added after the fact once all these weird aliens started showing up. It's an NT system, a modular piece of heavy machinery originally intended to serve and not-kill humans, especially NT employees. These non-humans, being part of NT, could be thought of as NT property, not human, but also not not-human, defined as holding rank and status despite their lack of humanity.

But the system isn't perfect. While it'll definitely listen to what a non-human head of staff says, as even the captain's bonsai tree holds significant rank, it's much less guaranteed to listen to an assistant or chef. Or something.

Also, hostile non-humans aren't NT property, and thus free to murder.
