The Moral Compromise Spectral Release Phantasmatron at work.
The Moral Compromise Spectral Release Phantasmatron is an unintended component in the Ethicator add-on to the Duplicator.
The intent of the Phantasmotron is to prevent the ethically-preset (good or bad) duplicate from defeating its purpose. In order to do so, it makes the duplicate instantly vanish into thin air should it think or act against its purpose. The Phantasmotron was only seen acting upon a "good" duplicate when it had an evil thought, but can presumably make an "evil" duplicate vanish should it have a good thought or perform a good deed.
