I read it about 20 years ago, I think in a compilation sampler.

It had it post-apocyliptic setting were a guy was fighting three robots. At some point in the fight he realises the robots are cyborgs and havw human brains and nervous systems. All three robots have different designs.

Its been itching my OCD for 20 years amd Ive nevwr been able to identify what it was. I think it was US/European style art.

I am currently taking a cybersecurity msc. I am having problems with academic misconduct in group work from other students. I will list them seperately below:

• On a recently completed group project, I was unaware at the time of submission that a paid third-party source was completing work on behalf of other members of my group. I did about 75% of this project myself and anything I didn't do was completed by a 'friend' of the other group members. After it had been submitted I was told the 'friend' needed to be paid.

• On a current group project, a member of my group has directly approached me and stated that he has a contact who can complete the work for us in exchange for payment. I refused immediately now as a consequence I am now the only member of the group making any meaningful contribution to the project. This is actively damaging the quality of our collective output and I am genuinely concerned that my final grade will suffer as a direct result.

I have a bit of evidence for this from whatsapp messages but not much so I don't know how far it will go towards proving anything.

Three issues here: I don't want to get in trouble for cheating, I don't want to have to do all of the groupwork myself and I don't want my academic reputation to be damaged by being associated with work that was completed fraudulently.

I talked to the tutor about it but he essentially just brushed me off. I askd him to at least make it clear to the class that this is academic misconduct and not allowed under the unversity rules but he refused.

I tried to join another group but I've been told its too far into the project to switch groups.

I'm thinking of making a formal complaint to the head of the course to at least have my concerns recognised but I don't know if it'll cause more trouble than its worth.
