Try out every combination we can! With that date, there could be two of them.

Take the little cartride thing.

And try to stick it in our head... if we have a similar panel we don't know about.

You take off you hat. Doesn't look like there's a panel...



You try pressing down and a little square panel dissevers itself from your forehead. Huh. I guess it's supposed to look indistinguishable until accessed.



Opening the panel, you see your own little memory chip thingy. Well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let's see what happens.



You pop the junked bot's chip into your own head.



Nothing happe--



Uh.......................................................



Your vision is replaced by some playback video. I guess the broken dude you found? He is looking at that paper you saw in the medical room.



The feed cuts ahead to—hey, whoa, is that your body?



You are being dragged, unconscious.



You watch as your lifeless body has various wires plugged into it. This seems vaguely familiar.



He takes your bad arm from its socket and appears to be examining it. Very scientific, this guy.



Hey! What the hell?! That was your arm, man!



He returns to the medical room and replaces one of the question marks with an exclamation mark.



The bot takes your backpack off and begins examining it. He seems to find it useful, as he keeps it.



He has taken particular interest in the notepad you found in Dr. Feringus’ room.



He flips through to where a page is torn in half, then abruptly stops.



Taking the pen, he scribbles on the page under the ripped page and finds the indentation made by the previous page. A real life amateur detective.

Q3X5G7. Never would have guessed that.



Hey you put that down mister that’s not for you you don’t just take somebody’s hat— Ah, no point complaining now. It already happened.



Buddy has left the medical room (with your hat) and is unlocking the warm room. I guess he was hanging out in this area the whole time.



…Now he’s cleaning up the living room. You’re not sure what to make of this.



And… rotating the fruit bowl?



He heads through the fridge accessway, apparently open— oh, no. You suddenly realize where this is going.



Turn back, man! Hello! Dude! That thing’s… Get out of there!!!



Run, dude, run!



He’s going for the door, he’s going for the door, he’s gonna--

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Sorry about skipping over any other commands; this update was 28 panels alone, and as the longest one yet by a significant margin I figured it’d be okay to come back to the rest of the commands with the next update (which, incidentally, could be a bit, as I'm rather bogged down in work this coming week).

Also, we just breached 500 panels and then some, and wow, this round has been 50 panels long already. Judging from how things have gone the last few rounds, it looks like the number of panels I use will only keep climbing. A good sign?

Yes, do this. Also: I think those circles each represent another bot.

[scriver]

Definitely. See also how it was a question mark when we first saw it through the Hat-Thief's eyes, and then he changed it? I think there are four other robots out there that he/we haven't found yet. I suspect the Gentleman might be one of them. We must find him and get inside his head!

The real question is what the  , and X symbolise, of course. The sad face probably means another dead bot, or something (but then again, so could the X), and one of the other's must be Hat-Thief. But which one?

[Tarran]

I think ! means severely damaged/likely destroyed while X means 100% sure destroyed (like from falling into lava).

I also think the with an arrow is the hat-thief. The could be a dead/severely damaged bot that hat-thief particularity liked.

[Evergod41]

Somehow this does not surprise me in the least...

[Armok]

This is awesome. Good story, reliable updates, great art.

Ahhhhhhhhh, it looks like the guy who dragged our body and toke our hat has octoloid like legs!

No, it was robot-guy.

OO I see, he was caught.

Rotate fruit bowl

You pop your chip back in your own head and are met with another error screen for a moment. Apparently your chip’s busted. No wonder you can’t remember anything.



You vision returning, you pop the other guy’s chip back into his head. You can’t help but feel bad for him, hat-theivery or not. The guy did fix you up when you were down and out, after all; and since he had intended to come back he had probably only meant to borrow your stuff rather than keep it altogether.



Time to see what he was up to. You twist the fruit bowl and hear some clanking, followed by a crashing sound and some tinkling.



It appears the fridge machinery exploded or something. It’s leaking a lot of dark smoke. I guess this was some kind of secret way to get in and out of the freezer easily? Now that one of the rails is destroyed and the room is smashed up it doesn’t appear to be working properly. It also looks like the frost from the room below has cleared.

Use Q3X5G7 as password in the computer downstairs.

You type in the stupid password and are given complete access to all the computer functions you couldn’t touch before.



DOORLOCK, RAMPDOWN, EMRGEXIT, and CAVETRAP are turned off. LIFESPRT is turned on. You recall turning DOORLOCK and CAVETRAP from on to off the last time you fiddled around with this.

Attempt to repair hat-thief.

You drag the poor guy back up to the medical room (Skree staying behind as usual) and plop him onto the bedtablething. Okay, you’ve got five wires, four character slots on the machine, the numbers 1 through 9, and no idea what to do. Let’s get this party started.
