Review: a decent story that needs development and consistency

The previous reviewer stated issues with the three laws of robotics and I'm inclined to agree, if one law is broken why not break the others.  I also felt a bit more time should have been given to explaining the agency Dunn works for and the criteria for investigating a planet that has ceased to communicate.  Twenty years seems like a long time to wait before someone checks out the problem.The writing style was nice and the story had good flow. The plot is good but in a short story, the little details mean everything. I think it is worth a rewrite.
