Tyrell accomplishes this feat by implanting her with false memories taken from his niece. As far as Rachael knows, she is, and has always been, human. Tyrell explains that the purpose behind this is to allow them to better cope with their eventual emotional development.
Indeed, even with the increased emotional capacity, they would still be treated as slaves. Treating rational beings as tools directly violates second form of the Kantian Categorical Imperative.
Additionally, he lies to her about her true nature. It is not until Deckard reveals that she is in fact, a replicant, that she knows the truth. Eldon Tyrell has lied to her the whole time and, while the action may have been to her benefit, the pretenses behind it were nothing short of sinister.
Tyrell intended to use her as a test to see if his hypothesis that memories result in better control was true or not. Such a fact is evidenced by Dr. Tyrell ignoring and expelling Rachael from his residence as soon as she realizes that she is a replicant. It is clear that Dr. Tyrell : Also extraordinary things; revel in your time. Batty : Nothing the God of biomechanics wouldn't let you into heaven for. Tyrell : "More human than human" is our motto.
Deckard : She's a replicant, isn't she? Tyrell : I'm impressed. How many questions does it usually take to spot them? Deckard : I don't get it, Tyrell. Tyrell : How many questions? Deckard : Twenty, thirty, cross-referenced. Tyrell : It took more than a hundred for Rachael, didn't it? Deckard : [realizing Rachael believes she's human] She doesn't know.
Tyrell : She's beginning to suspect, I think. Deckard : Suspect? How can it not know what it is? Tyrell : Is this to be an empathy test? Capillary dilation of the so-called blush response? Fluctuation of the pupil. Roy, dressed in all-black, approaches the "God of Biomechanics" and demands an extended lifespan. In turn, Tyrell tries to reason with Roy, the"Prodigal Son," explaining that an established genetic sequence cannot be reversed. Despite being human, Tyrell is apathetic toward his creations, nonchalant and unprovoked by the existential struggles they endure.
Despite being a synthetic being, he is engulfed in rage, concern, passion, pain, and ambiguity, emotions typically attributed to humans. With this, Roy reaches a critical point in his Blade Runner character arc : he realizes that as long as "the maker" churns out new replicants, they will always be treated as commodities and end-products, experiencing the same cycles of heightened xenophobia and oppression. With this act, the status-quo is subverted. Roy then goes on to kill Sebastian. While one could argue Sebastian was seemingly blameless throughout the ordeal, replicants have no reason to show empathy to humans, who, for years, have utilized them for slave labor.
The T features downward thrusting serifs, with an arrow-like point at the base, that gives it the appearance of a trident. I will note that outside of the films and merch, I did find a drawing of the logo that was likely based on what could be seen in production photos of Tyrell wearing the robe.
It was published in a portfolio book by designer Jay Vigon Figure 3. In that drawing, the T is more delicate — looking pretty true to what appeared in Blade Runner , in contrast to the heavier T that appears on the official merch. As we see it on the robe Tyrell wears in the film, it looks to be some combination of gold, brown and black, on a white patch Figures 4.
I decided to search for better images of the actual prop, but that only made matters more confusing. My search led to Flickr, where I found a photo of the robe in a display case at Cinerama. Paul Allen, the late Microsoft co-founder, was the owner of the Cinerama and a huge sci-fi nerd. He had other costumes and props from the film on display in the lobby and at his museum in Seattle, MoPOP.
But when I zoomed in on the monogram patch, it was in green, silver, gold and black, on a gold patch Figure 4. The T was heavier. So maybe there were multiple robe costumes with slightly different Tyrell marks on them?
The mark is aristocratic rather than corporate, having more in common with the monograms of royalty, or family crests where animals appeared as heraldic charges on shields. Figure 3.
