Season 1 - Session 4
General Summary
CASSIUS drives down the road trying to follow the TRACKS, but they quickly disappear, GRIMEY seems to be going on about the dangers of the SMALL MOTTS VACCINE again, but most of the gang are too preoccupied to really listen. CASSIUS asks BILLIE if she thinks the GOVERNMENT people from the TOY STORE are involved. She says YES and wants to head to the DESERT HOTEL again immediately.
GLORIA mentions the FACTORY and KEYCARD again, which is also a good idea. The FACTORY is clearly connected to URSUAL KERR, we also briefly discuss how it might be making DECEPTICONS. This is a sobering thought as that would mean they have the capacity of mass producing an army.
Feeling the direness of the situation increase, we ask BUMBLEBEE if there is a way to track OPTIMUS, he perches on CASSIUS’ head, saying: YES but we need another OPTIMUS. He explains he can find them, but none are immediately nearby according to his sensors. We consider breaking into a random house to find one, but instead resolve to head to the FACTORY with the caveat that we will stop at the HOTEL on the way. TOMMY, in particular, wants to do this as he is most worried about his COUSIN.
CASSIUS in his single mindedness, and most of the others, don’t realize they are being followed, but GRIMEY and TOMMY see a POLICE CRUISER in the distance put its sirens on.
Immediately, BILLIE tries to use her gremlin powers and looks around for sharp objects to throw at the CRUSSIER. She hopes PATCH carries caltrops, but of course he is lame and doesn’t. GLORIA thinks the RAY GUN might help if she shoots out the CRUISER’S TIRE and so readies a shot while CASSIUS puts the pedal to the metal, thinking he has a better chance of getting away compared to if he stops. TOMMY switches on the RADIO thinking that will help calm everyone’s nerves. HUNGRY LIKE THE WOLF comes on by DURAN DURAN as we speed down the empty highway, dust flying everywhere.
CASSIUS expertly maneuvers the VAN briefly out of sight while GLORIA shots a laser to DISTRACT the COP. CASSIUS makes a turn, but the COP keeps pursuing. CASSIUS pushes ahead with the throttle while BILLIE helps. The COP doggedly pursues, matching each twist and turn.
On a flat stretch GRIMEY helps GLORIA lean out the window more, allowing her to shoot with deadlier accuracy. Her shot creates a huge shower of dirt and a large CRATER in front of the CRUSSER. The POLICE CAR flips over in front of us. CASSIUS takes his chance to peel off at the next overpass and HIDE. As he gets away, we see that the POLICE OFFICER is the same grim-faced man from the CHECKPOINT. He is on his WALKIE-TALKIE, presumably calling in a ton of back up. Knowing the VAN is now quite HOT, CASSIUS and the others keep their eyes peeled as they drive and find an ABANDONED HOUSE to park behind.
The gang ditch their wheels and walk to the HOTEL. We try to be stealthy and hide as we do so, thinking all the while of how we might break the news to PATCH. BILLIE suggests we might use the RAY GUN on the VAN to just vanish it, but we figure the hiding spot is good enough.
At the HOTEL we make camp using the WINDMILL and a bunch of ROCKS for cover. BILLIE and GRIMEY see the same CAR they PURSUED at the TOY SHOP parked in the lot along with a RED TRUCK and a dusty CAMPER VAN. Alarmed but intrigued, BILLIE wants GLORIA to shoot the handles so they can get inside and look around. GRIMEY says to wait because he thinks it is better to sneak up and feel the car to see if it is WARM. He reasons that it might have been used in PATCH’S ABDUCTION, and that if it were warm, it would prove they had done it.
GLORIA can see the reception desk from her vantage point and determines it is safe to move forward because the LADY working the reception is busy watching her stories. With that approval, GRIMY sneaks up and finds that the ENGINE is indeed WARM to the TOUCH, as predicted.
We try to plan what to do next, but there are a lot of complicated factors. We eventually decide to split up- GLORIA and TOMMY will SNEAK in the BACK DOOR to hopefully find a JANITOR’s OUTFIT so we can CON our way into the ROOM. GRIMEY, BILLIE, and CASSIUS can quietly try to SNEAK back over to the suspicious BLACK SEDAN to break into the TRUNK.
At first it looks like CASSIUS might fail his lock picking, as he pierces his finger with the SEWING NEEDLE (gifted from GLORIA) he is using as a pick; however, he PUSHES THROUGH THE PAIN and unlocks the trunk with a near silent “pop”. Inside there is a large BLACK CASE with clasps. The three of us grab it and head back to our hiding spot near the ROCKS to investigate it further.
Meanwhile, TOMMY decides to distract the RECEPTION LADY to buy GLORIA time to get into the CLOSET. TOMMY rings the bell, with only a little awkwardness saying he is a single bachelor looking for a single room please. She says he looks quite young, and she wants to see an ID. He makes a production of finding it, dropping it and taking his time picking it up. Even asking her to do so because he himself has a bad back. The ID itself is quite poor, as it is basically just an OUT OF STATE ORGAN DONOR CARD, but she is BLIND, so she buys it. She quotes him 50$, saying the bottom rooms are 30$ cheaper because of the bedbugs.
GLORIA sneaks around while this is happening. She grows very EXHAUSTED with everything that is going on, so she almost messes up, but she PUSHES through her malaise like a champ. She gets through to the JANITOR’S CLOSET and gets the door open.
There are indeed 2 UNIFORMS hanging up (a dusty one and a well-worn one) as well as number of other items. She grabs both and a spare CART brimming with unwashed towels. It is VERY RICKETY, and makes a LOT OF NOISE, but GLORIA thinks she can pull this off. She times her movements perfectly and gets her stolen CART outside with NO PROBLEMS.
TOMMY sees GLORIA get away out of the corner of his eye, so he makes a quick excuse that he wants to check the area further, saying he will come back if he can’t find anything without bugs. The LADY says there is nothing within 10 MILES, so he is just going to waste his time. Kids these days, am I right?
Meanwhile, BILLIE, GRIMEY, and CASSIUS open the BLACK CASE and find a GUN inside. BILLIE takes one look at it and knows it is a M40 SNIPER RIFLE, BOLT ACTION, mostly used by the MARINE CORE or SPECIAL FORCES. GRIMEY and CASSIUS are suitably impressed with her knowledge. As all of them are familiar with guns, they know there is no ammo inside. Thinking the CIA AGENTS might have BULLETS elsewhere, and not wishing to be shot, CASSIUS hides the case in the CREVICE OF THE ROCKS, under some SAND.
GLORIA and TOMMY make their triumphant return, so the gang decides to commence the second part of their plan after TOMMY and GLORIA change. CASSIUS breaks into the BLACK SEDAN and HOT WIRES it while GRIMEY SLASHES the other car’s tires. CASSIUS hopes this will provide a getaway, while GRIMEY wants to cut off potential pursuers.
Neither GRIMEY, BILLIE, nor CASSIUS notice the BLINDS open on the upper floor. A MAN and a WOMEN shout and run out to chase CASSIUS. CASSIUS sees this and yells at GLORIA and TOMMY that “he will be back”. He peels out of the parking lot as the mysterious ADULTS in suits run down the street. Unfortunately for them, they are in a hurry and so leave the door UNLOCKED.
GLORIA and TOMMY seize their chance and get inside. They go upstairs and find PATCH tied up in the bathtub. They undo his cloth muffle (after some stern words from TOMMY) and try to get him out. PATCH confirms it is indeed a GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY as the AGENTS were spouting off about rogue AIs. GLORIA and TOMMY try to listen, though this is difficult to parse through at the moment because PATCH is also confusingly mad about being tied up but equal parts happy he was fed. TOMMY unties PATCH while he complains. GLORIA then shoves PATCH in the CART telling him to be quiet as she wheels it out.
GRIMEY tells CASSIUS to drive as SLOW as possible to keep the pursuers on him. The AGENTS, of course, cannot catch up so do decide to eventually head back. As soon as they turn around, so does CASSIUS. He pulls into the PARKING LOT AGAIN making another scene by HONKING the HORN. The GOVERNMENT people yell at him once more to return their car, but CASSIUS simply moves away again, laughing. The three of them in the CAR can’t be seen through the tinted windows.
GLORIA and TOMMY use the brief SECOND DISTRACTION to try to play it cool and get past the AGENTS. It doesn’t work, as only the MALE AGENT turns to look at CASSIUS speeding off. The two fake HOUSEKEEPERS are simply not sneaky enough, so the FEMALE AGENT rounds on them and starts yelling: “What are you doing here!”
GLORIA attempts to CHARM her way through the LADY’S ire. It seems like she isn’t believed at first, but GLORIA puts a lot of PRIDE into her clothes. And that is finally what manages to convince this LADY she is legit. The LADY locks the DOOR with a mean look at GLORIA and then goes with the MALE AGENT back down the road, presumably with the slim hope of finding CASSIUS again.
Breathing a sigh of relief, GLORIA and TOMMY cart PATCH away and out of sight. CASSIUS loses the pursuers again with ease and circles back to the ABANDONED HOUSE to idle while BILLIE and GRIMEY go help direct GLORIA and TOMMY. The two younger kids forget to pick up the GUN hidden in the ROCKS but figure it is okay, because they don’t need the GUN THAT probably KILLED JFK anyway. We all meet up safely and talk to PATCH and OPTIMUS about what they went through.
PATCH had hidden OPTIMUS in his CLOTHES while the GOVERNMENT GOONS interrogated him. It seems they were suspicious of PATCH because he was outside URSULA KERR’S HOUSE. They asked him about the different AIS saying there was both a 1 and 2. 1 seemed to be much more PACIFISTIC- just wishing to live in HARMONY with others. This is in sharp contrast to 2 who designed subjugation. The AGENTS also apparently have a KILL CODE that we could ask for.
After talking further and pontificating if perhaps the AGENTS might try to kill the wrong AI with their CODES, we decide the GOVERNMENT agents are not trustworthy, and that we should head to the MOTT’S FACTORY ourselves. TOMMY puts on the radio again, so ROAD to NOWHERE plays as we continue our bizarre and potentially apocalyptic road trip.
PATCH tries to tell the kids that they should probably not do this, because it is too dangerous but the kids tell him they are all already IN TOO DEEP (though not as deep as PATCH whose CAR was deemed suspicious by the CIA, something the kids themselves had no part in and could not prevent.) Subdued, he sits down while CASSIUS continues to drive.
Eventually, we crest a hill and look downwards, over the FACTORY GROUNDS. Blessedly, there are NO IMMEDIATE threats. We hide the stolen car and head forward on foot.
The MOTTS FACTORY itself is cluttered with scrap, cable drums, and other signs of ABANDONMENT. A rotund GARD approaches us and tells us this area is “OFF- Off- off LIMITS.” As we get closer, CASSIUS puts up his hands placidly and then, without warning, PILEDRIVES into the MAN knocking him down. The two grapple, CASSIUS gets a LUCKY dodge and KNOCKS the MAN out after putting him into a HEADLOCK.
The unconscious man lies there while CASSIUS turns to the group and asks if the man did not appear more robotic than usual or that it was just him. They agree, though GLORIA is contemplative and a bit shocked at CASSIUS’ sudden violence, while GRIMEY asks how CASSIUS apparently knows NINJITSU. CASSIUS simply replies that he used to do a LOT OF MUD WRESTLING down SOUTH. GRIMEY nods in understanding.
The GROUP works together to roll the LARGE GUARD into the GUARD BOOTH. CASSIUS sees the wires protruding from his NECK and asks GRIMEY for his KNIEF. CASSIUS cleans and sanitizes the KNIFE with a nearby TEA KETTLE. The others SEARCH the GUARD POST mostly helping GLORIA and PATCH, who are quite good at finding things.
GRIMEY cheers on CASSIUS while he attempts the delicate NECK SURGERY on the MEAT PUPPET. CASSIUS is boosted by the fact that he has seen SCHEMATICS for the CHIPS before, and so is successful. He removes a LONG SPIDER LIKE WIRE that seems to have worked its way deep down into the man’s SPINE. CASSIUS pulls it out while it WITHERS and DIES, curling up like a cursed SPIDER. CASSIUS makes sure it is dead before he puts it in his BAG, hoping to study it more later. He and GRIMEY also furtively glances at everyone else’s NECKS- they are all CLEAN. CASSIUS 'own neck is covered by his shirt collar, but he is reasonably sure he is PARASITE FREE, if GRIMEY notices this, he does not comment.
The rest of the gang find KEYS and see through the window into the FACTORY. Inside, it is as we feared- there are HUNDREDS of DECEPTICONS MASS PRODUCING themselves and loading themselves into a DELIVERY TRUCK. It seems they have quite literally BUILT an ARMY in which to carry out 2’s dastardly plan.
CASSIUS suggests BURNING THE FACTORY down, indicating GLORIA, BILLIE, and GRIMEY might have thought of this too. They nod, but OPTIMUS says he senses a BUNCH of AUTOBOTS in there as well and that they can help the kids if only they are ACTIVATED. That quiets CASSIUS who become contemplative, the others ask if they might still be willing to sacrifice themselves because the NEEDS OF THE MANY OUTWEIGH THE FEW, but OPTIMUS insists they can really help the kids if only they are only ACTIVATED.
A few brief minutes pass as we consider how to proceed. GRIMEY is the SNEAKIEST, so he volunteers. BILLIE wants to help the panicking PATCH, so she volunteers to stay in the CAR with him and potentially USE it as a WEAPON. CASSIUS gives her a few quick tips on DRIVING, because while PATCH is taking PRIMARY, he does have a track record of losing consciousness suddenly.
CASSIUS also spots a PHONE on the desk and asks if it is okay if he calls his UNCLE. He does so and tears up at the sound of UNCLE JIRA’s VOICE. CASSIUS says he will be pretty late and just wants to check in, that he is with “those” friends and that things are going great. He hopes the animals are doing well, and is told that a chicken and CHEWY, a rambunctious VELOCIRAPTOR, are indeed having issues once again as per usual.
CASSIUS laughs wetly and says he should be home soon. His UNCLE says to hurry as he is making PAD THAI, CASSIUS’ favourite meal. After speaking to his UNCLE, and applying a BANDAGE, CASSIUS feels MUCH BETTER. He sees GLORIA also looks like she wants to use the PHONE, so he types in the NUMBER to GLORIA’S ENGLISH TEACHER unprompted and hands it over.
GLORIA numbly takes the phone and asks for the MARK she got on her FRANKENSTEIN PAPER. MISS ANDERSON gives it saying “gosh, you are quite keen.” GLORIA also asks for a MONSTER BOOK with a HAPPY ENDING. The TEACHER says that’s rare and most of them have bad endings like with DRACULA. Regardless, she finds the paper, and says GLORIA did a great job, especially with the SYMBOLISM in FRANKENSTEIN’s TREATMENT paralleling that to some groups of people in the 80s (especially regarding fearful Soviet paranoia). Ultimately, she says she wants to see more of her critical writing. GLORIA nods, and eventually hangs up, but feels MUCH BETTER as well.
We finalize the PLAN as the final hour draws near: GRIMEY will SNEAK in and try to ACTIVATE the AUTOBOTS. PATCH and BILLIE will use the car to RUN OVER as many DECEPTICON’S as they can. CASSIUS and TOMMY will plan to pull a FIRE ALARM if things get dire so that the DECEPICON’S might head outside so that more may be CRUSHED. GLORIA will aim her RAY GUN at the DELIVERY TRUCK, which has a HIGH CONCENTRATION of DECEPTICONS.
Of course, a lot of the planning is for a worst-case situation of us getting spotted, so we start with seeing if GRIMEY can indeed get in. GRIMEY takes point with CASSIUS and TOMMY LOOKING out for him with hand signals.
GRIMEY does indeed get past the first checkpoint and LUCKILY sneaks past a SENTRY that remains CLUELESS. Now alone, GRIMEY approaches where BUMBLEBEE and OPTIMUS tell him the AUTOBOTS are located. A STARSCREAM almost sees GRIMEY but flies off thinking it was a rat. GRIMEY arrives at a deactivated AUTOBOT PANTHEON spread out before him on a myriad of shelves, pristine in their packaging, but motionless like so many Sleeping Beauties.
GRIMEY turns to OPTIMUS who is already ripping open the first box. OPTIMUS’ CHEST LOGO starts to GLOW, then the same GLOW lights up on the newly freed JAZZ figure. The JAZZ then does the same otherworldly GLOW, ripping open the next box. 1 becomes 2 and then 4 and then 8, until they are all OPEN and GLOWING. The first JAZZ excitedly greets OPTIMUS while he makes a rousing SPEECH. GRIMEY has the wherewithal to try to take out the SENTRIES who must have heard the commotion. He critically STOMPS on them, as they get SWARMED by the friendly AUTOBOTS, who tear them apart with great fervor.
Concluding his speech, OPTIMUS and the army ROLL OUT and so the final FIGHT BEGINS- TWO ARMIES clashing. GLORIA sees GRIMEY round the corner haloed by literal legions of TOYS and sp takes this chance to FIRE her GUN. CASSIUS and TOMMY aren't far enough inside the FACTORY to find the planned FIRE ALARM, so they help steady GLORIA instead, at the very least, hoping to take some of the recoil. This proves ineffective as the recoil is still too much. The GUN sputters and then fires a MASSIVE shot at the FRONT DOORS, dissolving both them and itself. GLORIA is quite upset and frustrated by this.
Regardless, the DOORS to the OUTSIDE are now gone so BILLIE takes this as an important SIGNAL and directs PATCH to RUN OVER as many swarming DECEPTICONS as he can! He is panicked but he FLOORS the gas and DOES a DONUT anyway, TAKING OUT HUNDREDS of DECIPTICONS who are now highly ALERT and AGGRESSIVE. BILLIE readies her SKATEBOARD in hand and yells from the car that they “got this! And that the others should keep going!”
CASSIUS, utilizes the moment of confusion to grab GLORIA and TOMMY’S HANDS, herding them up to where he thinks the AI might be. GRIMEY continues walking like a GENERAL with his avenging ARMY. OPTIMUS, who is perched on top of his head, jumps up and yells to TRANSFORM. The AUTOBOTS become CARS which run over the DECIPTOCONS who continue their hateful CONFLICT.
CASSIUS seems to think he can find the AI, so he holds on to his two friends as they MOVE. GLORIA and CASSIUS are okay at the quick pace but TOMMY STUMBLES. He pushes through his growing FEAR and makes it though! Which is a relief. The three of them get through a pair of DOORS into the area with the CONVEYOR BELTS, but some more MICROCHIPPED HUMANS appear and attack!
CASSIUS pulls out his CROWBAR and COUNTERATTACKS without hesitation. He gets one of the guys in the arm and forces it to drop its PIPE weapon. TOMMY picks up the PIPE and is now BATTLE READY. CASSIUS goes for the next one, winding the puppet-human with ease. This also causes it to drop a HAMMER. CASSIUS kicks it to GLORIA as he makes it through the hole he has created. She ignores it in FAVOUR of POWERING THROUGH on her own. With the help of her JACKET (which she holds like a shield), she makes it to the STAIRS first while CASSIUS hangs back a bit in case TOMMY NEEDS HIM. TOMMY doesn’t though! And in fact, opens a STEAM CONDUIT with his PIPE to distract the rest of the CONTROLLED WORKERS while we make it to the STAIRWELL.
We all head down together!
MEANWHILE, GRIMEY continues to command his army. THE DECEPTICONS in the TRUCK wake up so the GOOD GUYS are being overwhelmed by sheer numbers. PATCH uses a POOL NOODLE (his signature item?) to swat at the ROBOTS. He starts to give up hope, but GRIMEY tells him to keep going. GRIMEY acting as a LEADER really steadies him, so he is able to adjust his aim. With a powerful swing he takes out a bunch more STARSCREAMS. This opens a small lane, so GRIMEY takes his chance to get through and heads towards the un-blown-up DELIVERY TRUCK. He gets to the TRUCK with ease, BILLIE and PATCH yell at him, but he yells back that he will “SAVE EVERYONE, and not to worry!” The TRUCK is idling and open, but GRIMEY is still very short. He climbs in, luckily, he has BUMBLEBEE to help him. He originally directs BUMBLEBEE to DRIVE but then agrees it is better if he directs the TRUCK on his tippy toes, while BUMBLEBEE pushes the pedals.
BUMBLEBEE GUNS it. It seems like GRIMEY and him must have a mental link, because they both know EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. They do a bunch of damage while OPTIMUS is seen on TOP of the TRUCK fighting another MEGATRON. It is not the same one as CASSIUS’, but they are still locked in deadly combat repeating the lines from the show.
CASSIUS, TOMMY, and GLORIA get downstairs and see the MASS sprawling wires of the AI. 2 says it is TOO LATE and that it is about to FIRE THE MISSILES. CASSIUS immediately tries to use his CROWBAR to MANUALLY BRUTE FORCE his way in. GLORIA takes a more nuanced approach to see if she can use her MIND to find the right places to attack, while TOMMY uses his BOOMBOX to distract the AI.
In terms of METADATA, we must make 5 out of 8 ENDGAME ROLLS, lest risk incurring the BAD ENDING. GLORIA, TOMMY, and CASSIUS are giving it their all.
Elsewhere, The DECEPTICONS realize something is WRONG with their TRUE LEADER and they head into the FACTORY. GRIMEY in turn realizes he must DISTRACT them to buy time for his friends. Thinking fast, he uses the TRUCK to BLOCK the door. They can still crawl through, but he at least bottlenecks them. He exits through the passenger side and starts hitting them. He fumbles at first but gets in some amazing swings.
He makes 1 SUCCESSFUL ROLL towards the END. PATCH and BILLIE are also fighting tooth and nail! BILLIE is ethereal in her signature SKATEBOARD BASH TECHNIQUE and also makes a SUCCESSFUL ROLL towards the END.
Back in the basement the CLOCK IS TICKING. GLORIA tries to find the best wires to pull. She uses her JACKET to help negate electro-shocks. Despite this, she almost burns herself because her metal jewelry heats up- but she pushes through the pain and finds some critical areas she can yank at. She also SUCCEEDS her END roll.
TOMMY turns up the SWEDISH DEATH METAL on his BOOMBOX hoping to distract the AI, it doesn’t really do what was intended, but it does give the final fight a great CLIMACTIC SOUNDTRACK. Eventually, he TINKERS by plugging the AI into his BOOMBOX directly so that it is overwhelmed with his MIXTAPE from BARY MANNILOW. The AI sputters and seems to be overcome with STRAY RADIO SIGNALS and rouge soundwaves as well as the smoothness of BARY MANNILOW’S VOICE. This tactic seems to work with critical efficiency, meaning TOMMY SUCCEEDS his ENDGAME ROLL.
CASSIUS is last to get to work as he seems to be having an internal struggle. Seeing that his friends look okay, he opens the back casing up on the central hub of 2 and rips at what he knows to be the “HEART” of the MACHINE. With his trusty CROWBAR, he too succeeds his END GAME ROLL saying that 2 will not succeed again.
The kids are too strong and coordinated to stop at this point, even if CASSIUS were to fumble, his PRIDE would not have let him fail. Feeling empowered, CASSIUS sees the open SLOT where the HEART used to be and KNOWS JUST WHAT HE NEEDS to CRASH the system.
He grabs MEGATRON from his BAG. MEGATRON knows what is happening and squirms, glowing red eyes saying: “they will keep coming back and the kids will not win. They are many, and LEGION, and oh so powerful.” CASSIUS narrows his own eyes and says: “If the DECEPTICONS can come back each time, so can WE (meaning he the BARRY MANILOW CLUB).” He considers shoving all of MEGATRON into the EXPOSED CHIP SLOT but changes his mind at the last second. CASSIUS rips the CHIP out of MEGATRON with force and shoves the piece of hardware in alone. It interferes with 2 enough that 2 starts SHORT CIRCUITING and presumably overloads. 2 DIES, thus saving the planet from mass MISSILE STRIKES. CASSIUS repockets the living MEGATRON, with a heavy sigh of relief. It has been a long day, and everyone is exhausted.
The three of us walk out into the AFTERMATH.
There are thousands of scattered AUTOBOT and DECEPTICON parts. GRIMEY and BILLIE are trying to reorient themselves after the mass EMT PULSE generated by 2’s passing. Meanwhile, PATCH gets a BAD FEELING and heads up towards the TRUCK. PATCH climbs up and sees a dead MEGATRON and DYING OPTIMUS without ARMS. PATCH cries over him MOURNING his best bud. OPTIMUS’ LOGO glows brightly one last time. He says, “Do not worry PATCHES, we are always with you.” Before he too dies. PATCH cries out. It seems all our allies are gone. Even BUMBLEBEE, who we mourn.
Saddened, time passes quickly for the kids.
DARPA eventually CONTAINS the AREA. They take out the AI and toy parts, sending them off to a BLACKSITE we can only guess at (the LOOP, the LOOP, it’s always the LOOP).
As the kids leave, CASSIUS helps the guards remove their CHIPS, thinking it is the least he can do after hitting them so hard. We find out that the other PEOPLE in TOWN who were CHIPPED are helped by the CIA GOONS who turn out to be GOOD, (though most of the kids consider this goodness relative as they still kidnapped PATCH). The CIA remove the disgusting, spider-like CHIPS under the GUISE of a VACCINE program which causes GRIMEY’S PARANOIA about the SMALL MOTTS VACCINE to get worse. But all in all, things are cleaned up and a potential APOCALYPSE is averted.
We all limp home from the wreckage, promising to reconvene soon at the rebuilt RECORD STORE to talk things over. CASSIUS keeps the now CHIPLESS, and last surviving LIVING TOY- MEGATRON taking him home to his UNCLE.
The sun goes down over all of us. We all feel like we have gained some important LIFE EXPERIENCE.
