Shutdown, Part 4

Moments after Windsor escapes, the video recording he was attempting to watch finally begins playback.

The video is security camera footage from The Archive, a facility run by people who collect and worship advanced technology and robotics.  The footage shows Windsor, who is clearly an archivist, walking the halls, accompanied and protected by Defendomax.  On the exterior of the building, a cloaked figure breaches the outer walls and enters the Archive.  The facility is put on alert, and Defendomax rushes toward the disturbance while Windsor retreats to safety.  The cloaked figure plants a heavy load of explosives and begins destroying security cameras.  The explosion rocks the building and sends Defendomax shooting through the sky, only to land in a sand dune many miles away.  The cloaked figure continues destroying cameras.  The figure walks toward the final camera, looks up at it, and shoots it.  In that final moment of video, the cloak falls to the ground, revealing the face and identity of the assailant - Vagabot 2.0.

The party watches the video, stunned.  Neither Vagabot nor Defendomax has any memory of this.  There is no indication of why Vagabot broke into the archive.  They stand in the ruins of the decommissioned dildobot factory floor, wondering what kind of people they've been traveling with, and planning their next moves.

Cooly, as if nothing is the matter, Duke returns from parts unknown and rejoins the party.
