Synopsis: an old deep space probe has changed into something deadly

My reaction
Concept:
Story: It starts out with a promising idea, somewhat reminiscent of I, Robot. But they make the probe/robot too powerful, so it becomes yet another God-Like-Powers mess (with the inevitable out-logicking a computer thrown in for good measure).
