Shoot the Builder	comment	So you've created your ultimate weapon of terror/fortress of doom/super-secret thing. One problem: somebody had to build/design this thing. What happens if they talk or grow a conscience? Simple solution: have them all killed! Your secrets will be safe and they can't build another one for any rivals, and if done to a particularly naive engineer, you just acquired their services for free! Of course, you have to hope there are No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup to ruin your scheme and lower the Uniqueness Value of your weapon/fortress. Or the fact that an engineer/architect even a little bit savvy probably sees this trope coming and, by dint of the engineering skill the Big Bad recruited them for in the first place, will often have a nasty Faustian Rebellion prepped for a boss seeking to betray their builders. Subtrope of You Have Outlived Your Usefulness. Similar to Mook Depletion for the aforementioned 'no backup' problem. See also Always Need What You Gave Up for the same reason.

Ruze who created the Astrological Clock of Prague, who was also blinded so that he could never build a clock that would rival it; 3. Greek inventor Daedalus, kept imprisoned by his patron the king of Crete, so that nobody else could benefit from his genius (Daedalus escaped by building himself a set of wings and flying away). Dactylos built a golem army for Pitchiu, who richly rewarded him but put out his eyes so he could make nothing for his rivals. Dactylos made himself some non-functional golden eyes, then learned how to work metal by hearing, helped build the Palace of the Seven Deserts, and was showered in silver by its emir, who also had Dactylos' hand lopped off. Dactylos made himself a silver prosthesis and helped build the great Light Dam for the tribes of Nef, who hamstrung and imprisoned him, until Dactylos crafted himself a flying machine and escaped. When he appears in the story, Dactylos has just finished making a flying machine for the rulers of Krull, who promised to reward him with nothing but his freedom, without lopping off any limbs. Instead they shoot him In the Back with a crossbow.

Being forced to work on the perfect hiding place for stashing an immense pirate hoard, he knew his end would come upon the pit's completion. He delayed construction of the deathtrap-laden treasure pit as much as he possibly could, and gets his posthumous revenge by rigging the final treasure room to be completely unsalvageable, dumping the treasure into the caverns below the pit once the room has been breached.

Johnson already had a reputation as "Bloody Stupid" Johnson for years by that time. In Small Gods, the narration states that the labyrinth creators were most likely murdered. This is described as "a traditional method of patent protection". Played more seriously in Thud! when several dwarf miners are murdered for this reason, only one of them leaves a Dying Curse that causes much of the problems of the novel. Making Money: As part of his obsession with Vetinari, Cosmo Lavish hires craftsmen to make a signet ring like Vetinari's and a device that tugs at his eyebrow so that he will start reflexively raising his eyebrow like the patrician does. He has his enforcer kill both men once they finish their work to keep his obsession secret (the jeweler who makes the ring doesn't help his case by engaging in a bit of blackmail). This backfires on Cosmo since the ring is far too tight (although he's too enthralled with it to notice) and the eyebrow device is faulty and gives him a black eye. The dead craftsmen are in no position to fix them.

Rabban also kills the Richese scientist who invents the no-field and builds the Baron's no-chamber and a small no-ship. The Baron later berates Rabban for his rash actions when the no-ship ends up being destroyed (in fairness to Rabban, he was under the impression that the Harkonnen had enough information to copy the inventor's works. Unfortunately for the Harkonnen and the inventor, the inventor had taken counter-measures to keep the Harkonnen from replicating his work without his further aid, but did not get the opportunity to explain this to anyone before being killed). It's not until millennia later that the technology is rediscovered (well, it's almost rediscovered shortly after when the scientist's colleague finds his own secret no-chamber aboard an orbital lab, but the Sardaukar then board and destroy the station).

This seems to be motivated by KGBeast not wanting to pay the guy rather than out of a desire for secrecy, given how the murder alerts the police about the Arm Cannon faster. Attempted but averted in Batman: Streets of Gotham. Jenna Duffy, a.k.a. the Carpenter, is a minor recurring villain whose specialty is renovating supervillain lairs. She is hired to renovate and booby-trap a theater by a mad film buff calling himself the Director, who intends to sell video footage of the traps killing Batman — the Carpenter wholly intends to finish her job and leave before Batman inevitably foils the Director, but finds out that he plans to kill her too. She goes off-script, tips off Batman, and uses her handiwork to incapacitate members of The Director's gang, even managing to convince Batman she had been kidnapped and strongarmed into working for him. The Joker had an entire roomful of deadly toys built for Batman in the story "The Joker's Rumpus Room". Once they were finished, the first thing he did was kill elderly toymaker Pepetto for knowing too much.

Some Manipulative Editing of a recording is used to make the technician (who is in no real danger) think that he'll be shot for security reasons once the counterfeiting operation is complete. This gives the printer a vested interest in sabotaging the printing plates and sending the operation back to the starting line. In "The Experts," the Gestapo sets out to murder two radio experts stationed at Stalag 13 on false charges of organizing a black market operation. One of the men is shot while supposedly resisting arrest, but Hogan warns the other one. The surviving German eventually reveals that (along with another man who was shot during an alleged desertion attempt) the two of them helped install the communications facility at a secret bunker for the German high command. The efforts to keep that facility secret become directly responsible for its exposure.

Which promptly bit him in the ass when he tried to construct the Dragonpit, since most of the good builders were dead and all the rest went Screw This, I'm Outta Here, having heard of the others' fates. He had to use foreign contractors and prisoners instead. One of the (many) theories about his death is that one of the surviving workers used one of those secret passages to break into the keep and kill him. Despite all this, Varys the Spider knows about most of the passages, which all appear to be on a single network connecting to one room.

Tom managed to survive long enough due to him wanting to build The Puffing Tom: a water-based train network that would run throughout Water 7 that could help bring prosperity to the City of Shipwrights once again and the World Government allowing this; eventually leading to the World Government acquitting Tom after the train network was considered a complete success, only for Spandam; a Marine who wanted to steal the plans for Pluton that Tom possessed, decided to steal one of the Battleships that Franky had built to fight against Sea Kings, and use them against Marine ships to have Tom take the blame for their destruction. Tom passed on the Pluton plans to Franky who was spared the same fate, and who would eventually become the Straw Hat Pirates' Shipwright.

Refusing was not exactly illegal, but accident-prone (and even then, many Necrotects actually went willingly, as their services would be needed in the afterlife). In undeath they give the Hatred rule to any unit they join on seeing mere barbarians vandalizing their creations and allow nearby animated statues to repair themselves. Ramhotep the Visionary made a career out of disguising himself as lesser builders and then swapping out when the time came for the builder to go into the pyramid. He only followed tradition when he was close to dying, and was none too happy upon waking up in undeath to find none of his other projects survived. He once built an army of statues for the sole purpose of razing a pair of Imperial towns whose armies had crushed a wall he'd built in life... almost 200 years after the last soldier of that army was dead.

The mobster is impressed with the engineer's work and casually kills him before telling his mooks that once he mass-produces the Preacher, he will have total control of the weapons black market.

In "God Mode", while Team Machine are tracking down the secret location of the Machine, they discover all the engineers who built the place suffered fatal accidents. This isn't just to stop anyone else from building a Machine, but to prevent knowledge of its existence from going public as its all-pervasive surveillance of US citizens is illegal.

He then pays the contractor in gift certificates for the gift shop, which he'd just paid the first contractor's brother to make into a room that turns people inside-out, and then he sends the second contractor out one of the doors his brother built. Unfortunately, the third contractor he hired to build a spa refuses to finish it until he tells him what happened to his brothers.

Shoot the Builder / int_cbf77664	comment	Parker: In The Man With the Getaway Face, a criminal on the run returns to the underworld plastic surgeon who changed his face and murders him, as the surgeon was the only one to know what his new face looks like. This causes problems for Parker, who is another client of the surgeon, as the surgeon's staff start hunting down past clients for revenge. In Flashfire, Julius Norte, the man Parker is buying a fake ID from, is attacked by a hitman sent by a previous client (implied to be a former drug dealer) out to eliminate anyone who knows his new identity. Parker speculates that the client also got plastic surgery and then probably killed the doctor. The guy even sends hitmen after Parker in case Norte told him anything. This turns out to be a Revealing Cover Up and gets the client caught by the FBI after the police capture one of his hitmen.

Shadows of the Empire The sourcebook short story "Only One of Her Kind" shows Xizor purchase the human replica droid Guri and then have her kill the scientist who is primarily (although not solely) responsible for her creation so no one else will have a similar weapon. This effort fails because the scientist was Properly Paranoid enough to make a replica droid of himself and have that droid deliver Guri to Xizor. Palpatine and his minions do this on a planetary scale in Death Star. Grand Moff Tarkin uses convict laborers from the prison planet Despayre for the final stage of the Death Star's construction. Then he blows up the entire planet to test the space station's super laser. The only survivors are a few engineers deemed valuable enough to spare for additional work and a man who stows away on a supply vessel returning to the Death Star. Bevel Lemelsik, the primary designer of the Death Star, is initially rewarded instead of being murdered, but after the Death Star is destroyed due to an overlooked weak spot, he's tortured to death by a furious Palpatine (as revealed in The Callista Trilogy). Then Lemelisk is resurrected with dark magic so he can build a second, improved Death Star. Lemelisk's former teacher Nasdra Magrody plays a minor, Obliviously Evil role in creating the Death Star, but suffers this fate in relation to a completely different project in the Back Story of The Callista Trilogy. Magrody's family is held hostage while he's forced to build a brain implant that will control machines with the Force. After the project's completion, he disappears and is probably murdered. Jedi Academy Trilogy: The construction crew who built the Maw Installation think tank were thanked for their services and sent on their way â€¦ in a shuttle with a sabotaged navigation system, causing them to crash into a black hole and take the secret of the WMD-developing base with them to their graves. Prior to Labyrinth of Evil Palpatine killed everyone involved in the design and delivery of Darth Maul's ship except two scientists he planned to use later and a pilot who went into hiding. During the book's events, Palpatine unsuccessfully attempts to kill the pilot and the less important scientist to cover his tracks. Tales of the Bounty Hunters: This is done by the builders' creation rather than their employer. The assassin droid IG-88 spends years trying to kill all of the scientists who helped build him and know about his weak spot so that they'll never tell anyone. The Bounty Hunter Wars: In the Back Story, Gheeta the Hutt hired Emd Grahvess to design a spaceport to receive visitors to Gheeta's territory. Gheeta planned to murder Grahvess once the job was done so that the design would be unique. Grahvess anticipated this betrayal and hired Boba Fett to spirit him away once the job was done, humiliating Gheeta.

In Atlantis Found, the Nazi Arctic submarine base and storage facility was constructed by a slave labor force of Russian POW's. Most of them died of cold and exhaustion during the construction, and the survivors were executed afterward. The Big Bad of Black Wind plans to blow up the engineers who built his missile launcher (and the crew of the ship housing the launcher) as soon as he's used it to deliver a bioweapon to the U.S. He fails, and the engineers are captured and questioned. Interestingly, there's no indication that he plans to lethally silence the biologists who create the bioweapon. Prior to the events of The Treasure of Khan, the Mad Scientists who built the villains' earthquake machine died shortly afterward. It's ambiguous whether their employers murdered them or if they died accidentally while testing their invention. Zigzagged in Lost City from the sequel series. The scientists hired by Racine Fauchard to recreate the Elixir of Life are initially paid off and sent home unharmed. However, Racine accidentally leaves evidence of her crimes on one scientist's computer, causing the research team to threaten to go to the authorities. Racine murders nearly all of them within a week. Then she discovers there are flaws in the potion that she can't fix on her own, and spares at least one scientist so that he can fix the formula. Instead, he sabotages the potion to kill her. In the climax of The Storm, as the heroes are about to capture the last villains, the Big Bad shoots the scientist who built his swarm of nanobots (others helped, but none of them are working for the villains) so that no one will be able to stop them from destroying the island all of them are on.

Hatherly only escapes due to the intervention of Fritz's less-ruthless accomplices, one of whom references "the last time" and how Fritz promised "it should not [happen] again." After hearing the story, Holmes recalls the disappearance of another engineer who was likely killed by Fritz after either building the press or conducting previous repairs.

But it wasn't to keep secrets, nor to ensure that the building would remain unique: the architect did such a poor job that his contracter had him shot. Later in Point Blanc, the plastic surgeon responsible for altering Dr. Grief's clones to resemble the heirs to vast fortunes is killed once his work is complete (albeit partially because he asks for more money). In the fifth book, Scorpia, pharmaceutical executive Harold Lieberman invents a nanobot weapon that SCORPIA plans to use to kill all of the schoolchildren in England and ends up Impaled with Extreme Prejudice. His employers do consider letting him live, but only briefly.
