It seems like they treat robots the same manner as if they're organic lifeforms, it would make sense if Darkwater was a cyborg because it would kind of make sense, right?

yeah but he's not a cyborg, he's a 100% robot

I probably know, that's just modern R&C logic nowadays, it's like how Clank was created by the Zoni but he was born in a factory on Quartu (although it is possible that they chosed his soul to be born as a defect indicating that the Zoni are god-like entities), that ain't in the same era though but still.

Anything with a soul can be a ghost, and robots have souls
