Main Description

Mecha (called "labors") are virtually ubiquitous in the world of Patlabor, to the point that there's a special police unit dealing with labor crime. Patlabor 1 follows the events following the release of a new labor operating system (and coincidentally, the death of its lead programmer). Shortly after the widespread adoption of the new operating system, reports of labors going berserk started coming in - apparently caused by a virus engineering into the OS by its now deceased architect. But were a few isolated incidents really the scope of his diabolical plan? Most likely not, which is why the Tokyo Metropolitan Police is frantically trying to figure out what will trigger a massive berserk labor event and prevent it, to buy time for software experts to figure out how to disable the virus.
