What happens

The Zeta Project is an American animated science fiction television series produced by Warner Bros. Television Animation, which originally aired on Kids' WB between January 27, 2001, and August 10, 2002. It is the sixth series of the DC Animated Universe, and a Batman Beyond spin-off series. The series was created by Robert Goodman. The story's main character, Infiltration Unit Zeta, is a humanoid robot (synthoid) designed to carry out covert assassinations on behalf of the National Security Agency. When Zeta discovers that one of his targets is innocent, he experiences an existential crisis about goodness and the value of life; following this epiphany, Zeta finds he can no longer kill. He refuses to continue working as an infiltration unit and abandons his mission, going rogue. As he tries to find his creator, Dr. Selig, Zeta is pursued by a team of NSA agents led by Agent Bennet and aided by a 15-year-old runaway, Rosalie "Ro" Rowan. The series was cancelled after two seasons and 26 episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
