Shutdown, Part 3

When the party, led by the befuddled guard, enters the secure room, they come face-to-face with Big Red, the leader of the rabbit mercenaries.  Big Red sees that the party has taken advantage of the mentally feeble guard, and prepares for battle.  He and another guard grab a badge off of a shelf and retreat through a field of powerful lasers.  With the badges equipped, they are not harmed by the lasers.  The befuddled guard is dragged along with them, but without a badge, he is vaporized by the lasers.  Big Red then activates a terminal that begins releasing poisonous gas into the party's side of the room.

At this point, Duke quietly leaves the party and sneaks away into a different section of the factory.  The party didn't notice him leaving, and he didn't tell them where he was going.  Again, Windsor mocks the team through the PA system.

The party deduces that they need one of the medallions, a Franklin Badge, to cross the lasers safely.  Luckily, Vagabot had found one in the foyer.  By walking through the lasers, then tossing the badge back to their teammate, they safely cross the lasers.  On the other side, however, is Big Red and an elite guard.  At first, Big Red knocks the players around with his baseball bat fairly easily.  However, as the team crosses the laser field, they begin to outnumber them.  After dispatching the guard, the team surrounds a wounded Big Red and attempt to interrogate him.  They learn that Windsor is just through the next door, in the factory floor.  Although Big Red is defiant to the end, the party learns that Windsor has some kind of fixation with robotics.  When Big Red attempts to attack the party again, Cuddlepunch snaps and swiftly finishes Big Red with her trusty dumbbell.

The party enters the factory floor, where they find Windsor ranting and raving about some thief and trying to get his computer to playback a recording.  When he sees the party enter, he immediately recognizes Defendomax.  "You've come back!" Windsor shouts.  "Come back to papa and help me destroy these fools!"  The party asks about Windsor's motives.  Windsor replies that he's trying to recreate his robot empire, but that all he could find was this sex toy factory, and he has to work with what he has.  Having heard enough, the team springs into action.  Defendomax and Vagabot fight through the factory floor and disable the dildobot manufacturing machines while Cuddlepunch and Nyridius engage Windsor and his elite guards.  All manage to dodge Windsor's telekinetically-animated ceiling-mounted crane arm.  Just as the party nears victory, Windsor escapes out a trap door, promising vengeance on the team in general, and Defendomax in particular.
