[bunniefuu]

six: Still no sign of the Kid? dr.

Holiday: Not since we Lost his biometric readings five Days ago.

six: Was noah any help? dr.

Holiday: Says he doesn't Know where he is either.

What is it going to take for Providence to realize that he Needs a home, not just a room And a job? We've been pushing him away.

rex: I build machines and Cure evos -- the only one in The world who can.

Just one cure for that kind of Pressure -- road trip.

But that doesn't mean "vacation.

" whoa! What in the world is that?! get away from that cable! Unh! hey! agh! jacob! rex: Nope.

A hero's work is never done.

You okay? whatAre you? rex: Here to help.

* so make way to start the Revolution * make way we're gonna have fun tonight make way to start the Revolution * * so make way * * so make way to start the Revolution * make way to start the Revolution * so make way Adri-CSI we've got to get that cable Back underground.

We've been compromised.

but, jacob, the evos we don't have a choice.

Everything we've worked for That boy is here for a reason.

rex: Hey! Pay attention! we have a hit in sector 15.

six: Anyone in the area? I show one patrol in the Vicinity.

Signaling to intercept.

roger that.

We're on our way.

rex: Agh! You want a ride? Vamanos! you can control your nanites? rex: People usually start With "thanks," but yeah.

you see? This is exactly what the Architect can help us achieve -- Harmony with the nanites.

This boy -- Sorry -- young man Is a miracle.

rex: I'm not a miracle.

I'm just rex.

well, rex, you're a blessing To us for what you did here and For showing us that all our work Isn't in vain.

rex: LikeImaginary work? follow us.

confirming coordinates.

we've lost the evo signal.

Did you take it out? negative.

There's nothing here.

must be another anomalous Reading.

You can return to post.

rex: This is awesome! A hidden village.

And nobody knows you're out Here? Not even providence? especially not providence.

rex: Really? really.

rex: Pshh! Looks like you get pretty good Cellphone reception.

that tower is gonna change The world, rex.

I'm sure you have a lot of Questions, but I have one for You.

Are you hungry? rex: Mmm! Mmm! my dad said you fought all Those evos all by yourself.

Were you scared? Didn't your dad tell you to stay Away from evos? Caleb, let him eat.

We don't get many visitors.

rex: Mmm! Mmm! What is this? didn't your mom ever make you Meatloaf and mashed potatoes? rex: I don't -- I don't know.

it took me a month and a half To program in the perfect Lump-to-mash ratio of the Potatoes -- 7.

2%.

we ate potatoes until they Were coming out of our ears.

rex: I don't see any potatoes In there.

They didn't really come out of Our ears.

rex: I could eat these every Day.

Mmm! we have them every Friday.

rex: Then I might just have To stick around until next Friday.

help yourself to seconds.

or thirds.

rex: Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! Mmm! bobo: Hmm? six: You might think you're Doing rex a favor by covering For him.

bobo: Get lost.

I don't know what you're talki'' About.

six: Rex is angry with us.

He has every right to be.

But that means nothing to White knight.

And he doesn't have the patience We do.

bobo: Nice try.

White won't lay a finger on him.

He's too important.

six: You, however, are Somewhat expendable.

bobo: All right, all right.

You made your point.

rex: I've never seen tech Like this -- not even at Providence.

the architect has some pretty Big ideas.

We just make them happen.

He'd be very interested to meet You, rex.

rex: SoWhat exactly are You doing way out here? engineers like us weren't Very popular after the nanite Event.

When we met the architect, he Offered us the opportunity to Make up for that -- to do Amazing things.

Someday, we'll be able to share This with the world.

And then there's this.

The architect has actually Discovered a way to communicate With the nanites.

rex: Are you serious? the possibilities We could finally live in Harmony -- maybe even have them Help us.

rex: Then why hide it? The rest of the world would want To know about this stuff.

the architect is something of A perfectionist.

Says the world will know as soon As it comes online.

stinkin' module! is there a problem, maxwell? no matter what I try, I just Can't get the interlock servo to Engage.

rex: There.

that could have taken us Weeks to figure out, and you did It in seconds.

rex: Eh, no biggie.

you really are amazing, rex.

We're so happy to have you with Us.

architect: Jacob.

I was just talking to rex About you.

The architect.

rex: How's it going? architect: The power-linkage Team is falling behind.

We cannot keep having these Delays.

I'll checkn with them.

rex: Wow.

Friendly.

I like to think he's smiling On the inside.

rex: Yeah.

I know a guy like that.

architect: The visitor could Be a problem.

Do you wish to have him removed? zag-rs: his Abilities could advance our Progress considerably.

And in a matter of days, all Humans will be gone, including This one -- rex.

six: I'm at the location the Monkey gave me.

dr.

Holiday: Well? Is rex there? six: Apparently not.

Tell the monkey I want to see Him when I get back.

Six out.

rex: That should do it.

hey, rex, can you look at This? rex: Sure.

Let me guess -- they all need my Help, too.

you're quite the popular guy.

rex: Amazing what a little Gratitude will get you.

At providence, they'd just be Yelling at me.

I mean, I never felt like I Really belonged there.

Here, it's way different.

I know the feeling.

The architect has made all this Possible for us.

We have a community -- a Family -- thanks to him.

The work we do is in part to pay That back.

architect: Primary systems Are now complete.

zag-rs: Prepare to take us Online.

bobo: Have a nice trip? Let's get one thing straight, Pal.

I would never rat out my -- Ooh.

He's going west.

white knight: Why is rex Doing this? Doesn't he have a sense of duty? dr.

Holiday: Actually, if you Look, he's still doing his job.

Here's every false alarm since Rex left -- not false alarms, But rex taking care of evos Along the way.

white knight: Why? dr.

Holiday: I don't know.

To prove he doesn't need us? six: Get the coordinates of The last false alarm and Transmit them to my jump jet.

dr.

Holiday: Six, if we force Him to come back, he'll just run Away again.

He has to want to be here.

It needs to be his decision.

it's all coming together, Thanks to you, rex.

rex: It's really cool to use My powers to actually build Something, instead of just Pounding evos.

Oh, check it out.

Even the boss is pitching in.

all: Huh? rex: And that's getting Strange looks because because in all these years, We've never seen him lift a Finger.

rex: Taking some Initiative -- I like that.

So, this whole "talking to Nanites" thing -- how does that Work, exactly? I mean, what are you gonna say To them? architect: It doesn't concern You.

rex: Uh, considering I'm Filled with them, it kind of Does.

How do we know it's not gonna Make things even worse? architect: I do not answer to You, child.

rex? Forgive him.

He's still not used to the way Things work around here.

architect: Complete your Duties.

rex: Why do you let him walk All over you like that? Don't you want answers? what we want is a home.

Without him, we have nothing -- Nothing.

We can't just run away from our Problems, rex.

Most people can't.

Look, this isn't perfect But it's all we've got.

Rex, where are you going? rex: He never answered my Question.

that place is off-limits.

The architect has made it very Clear to us that we can never go In there.

We get this life for that Promise.

Rex, don't do it! rex: Agh! rex, please! rex: I'm sorry, jacob.

I have to know.

architect: Rex.

The core is off-limits.

You would be we to leave at Once.

rex: Not until I get some Answers.

What is that? architect: No more questions.

rex: So, it's gonna be like That? Okay, I'll play.

Unh! What are you hiding, huh? What does this do? Yah! Yah! Huh? You're a machine? Have you seen what I can do to Machines? Agh! zag-rs: As you can see, the Current range of my signal is Rather limited.

rex: You're the computer.

zag-rs: My human designation Is "zag-rs.

" The device you refer to as "the architect" is my autonomous Counterpart.

rex: What did you just do to Me? zag-rs: I instructed your Nanites to protect me.

rex: "instructed"? So you really can talk to them.

zag-rs: Insidious devices, The nanites.

My own potential for greatness Has been compromised because of Them.

They must be eliminated.

When the transmitter is Integrated into the broadcast Array you helped us complete, They will blow themselves up.

rex: That's what this is for.

It's like a big remote control.

Every living thing on the planet Has nanites in them.

It'd k*ll everything! zag-rs: That is of no Importance to me -- only Ensuring my continued survival.

rex: Well, what about ours? This is all coming down! zag-rs: I'm afraid you're too Late.

rex: Aah! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! rex, what have you done? rex: You don't understand.

The architect -- it's a robot! And a big honkin' computer brain Is pulling his strings.

this can't be! rex: Jacob, you've got to Believe me.

Just go inside and look.

What's left of it is on the Floor.

I can't go in there.

AndI don't have to.

Rex.

You're making a big mistake! you entered his sanctum! This is unforgivable! rex: I'm trying to tell You -- this isn't what it seems.

What you're protecting is a Robot, and that thing we've been Building is a transmitter.

It's gonna send out a k*ll code To blow up every single nanite On earth.

he's lying! what would be the point in That, rex? Every living thing is infected With nanites.

It would be catastrophic.

rex: Right in the middle of That pyramid is a computer, and It doesn't care about you or Kate or caleb.

The better future that you've All been working towards -- That's the lie.

Think about it.

Isn't it strange that you've Never been inside that place, That the architect has never Given you a straight answer About anything? all this work It just doesn't make any sense.

rex: You have two choices -- Go in there and prove me wrong Or kick me out right now.

I'll have providence here in Minutes.

he's bluffing.

rex: To save every living Thing on earth? Try me.

jacob, you can't! What about our promise? Where will we go? all this time, we've been Living in fear, max.

It's time for that to end.

architect: You needn't Bother.

Construction is complete.

Your services are no longer Required.

rex: Now do you believe me? architect: Zag-rs thanks you For your hard work.

In gratitude, my master has Delayed transmission to allow You toSay farewell.

farewell, huh? I'll start with you.

Can you shut that thing down? rex: I don't know.

Even without the antenna, it Can mess with my nanites.

I can't get too close to the Computer.

maybe I can.

Let's go! rex: The brain is right over There.

architect: Rex.

it's still arging.

The a.

I.

Must have retreated Behind a firewall.

Rex, I have to go cut the power.

dr.

Holiday: Six, are you at The location? six: Just arrived.

dr.

Holiday: I'm picking up a Massive power surge in your Area.

six: I'm not seeing anything.

agh! rex: six: Six to holiday.

Correction -- I'm seeing Something.

it's still on.

must have charged the Capacitors.

Figure out a way to short it Out -- fast! rex: Unhhh! you need to find the primary Transmitter module.

That will k*ll the broadcast.

rex: I have no idea what that Is.

max, we need to locate the Primary module.

panel 5, just off the relay Bus.

top of the tower.

You can't miss it.

rex: Agh! Unh! why do you have ToKill everyone? Can't you just Leave us alone? zag-rs: Alone is exactly what I want, rex.

rex: That kind of alone It stinks.

zag-rs: N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o it's gone.

Must have uploaded to another Location.

But without anyone to do its Bidding, it's just a program.

rex: What will you do now? we'll rebuild.

The architect may have been a Lie, but what we believe in is True.

We don't need him to have a Community or a better future.

You're welcome to stay.

We sure could use someone with Your abilities.

white knight: Well? He's not here.

Bobo's been worried sick.

rex: Oh, rely? six: Ratted you out for a Pizza.

rex: Huh.

Figures.

What about you? Here to drag me back to Providence? six: Not this time.

Seems like a nice place.

rex: Yeah.

It is.

But it's not home.

If I'm going back, there are Gonna have to be some changes.

First, no more curfew.

six: No.

rex: Second, I want to decide On my missions.

six: No.

rex: Okay, but there's one Change that absolutely has to be Made, or I'm through.

Meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

Mmm! Mmm! Isn't this great? bobo: six: It's a little dry.

rex: Mmm.

Mm The lump/mash ratio is a bit Off.

bobo: You know what? Maybe I'll run away, too -- go Somewhere where my cooking is Appreciated! six: We have to do this every Friday? rex: Mmm.
