When Wormmon mentioned that Lord Dastex had captured someone named Annie and wanting to use some power she seemed to have for less than honest means Vemmon, Hudiemon, and Lalamon looked concerned as it seems things have gotten more complicated.
When Purple grew aggressive towards Wormmon Vemmon walked up to the mech before raising a clawed arm as if to hold him back before he said "If t-this guy is the intruder then why is L-Lord Dastex locking up his friend then? N-No offense, Purple, but what if L-Lord Dastex's reasons aren't noble. W-What if Wormmon just wants his friend back granted he m-might have gotten further if he maybe asked Lord D-Dastex to release his friend first."
Hudiemon looked at Wormmon before she said "No offense, sweetie, but you are not sounding less suspicious. If your intentions are just then why are you causing all this trouble?"
"Maybe you will. I hope everyone is alright seeing as this place is dealing with an intruder and all." Kazumi said and when Rob mentioned how handy Hudiemon is Kazumi then said, "She sure is even though with her personality she doesn't outwardly come off as a healer most of the time."
When the garage door slid open Kazumi and Koko glanced at it seeing the north group enter. "Good to know at least one of the jobs went right. I hope everyone else is fine." Koko said their tail wagging happily.

Vemmon comes to his fellow insect's Digimon's aid by holding back the hostile purple mech. The purple insect asks why Dastex would lock up his friend. Hudiemon politely mentions that Wormmon is not sounding less suspicious, and she asks why he is causing all this trouble.
"Well, the Iron Imperials are a bunch of losers, that's why. I could lead a zealous faction a lot better than your Lord Dumbass."
Purple is very cross at the Wormmon. This must be the same individual who set up the trap that tripped purple and almost squished Lalamon between some crates.
"How dare you insult our leader?! I should radio this in. If you think that you can get away with attacking our base and destroying our forces, then you've got another thing coming." "I thought you were nice."
Wormmon crawls over to Hudiemon. The insect looks up at Hudiemon, marveled by her colorful butterfly wings.
"Hey, beautiful. What say we blow this chicken coop and go for a nice fly later? Maybe get some fruit juice and watch the stars?"
Rob would get the chance to meet some of Kazumi's partners sooner than expected. The north group had returned successful. Rob goes up to the Digimon and introduces himself.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Rob. Kazumi told me all about you. Ah, you must be Shadow. I hear you are a loyal bodyguard. And Yuki, I bet there is all kinds of wisdom you can share from your experiences. And Dorulumon, you look like a fierce warrior and good friend."
Blue looks puzzled at Rob. The mech recognizes the human as the one they saw when they first got to the security hub. Last he saw, Blisha was carrying him to safety.
"Um, weren't you the injured security officer? Appears that you are doing much better. A shining example of the restoration ability of the Iron Imperials."
Nanomon is glad that the north party has been successful, but he is growing irritated with Rob the officer. Rob has appeared off ever since he arose from the medical bed.
"Great job reaching the security hub. Now maybe you can help me extract some answers from this 'injured' guard. Tell me, Rob, what did you see when you were attacked?"
"It all happened so fast. There was this tall, cloaked figure who appeared without warning. I believe he mentioned something about Kukuwamon."
Could it be true? Was Kukuwamon conspiring against the Iron Imperials the whole time? Or is Rob lying through his teeth?

Vemmon brought both clawed hands to his face with a slapping sound resulting in his clawed hands covering his face as he groaned. This had gotten more complicated than he thought it would get. Even so Vemmon wasn't going to be deterred. Letting out a frustrated insect hiss the small purple bug then said "T-Throwing insults at one another only makes you two look foolish. T-There are better ways of solving this matter than fighting. B-Besides, Purple, what happened to that nice and reasonable guy we were working with?"
As for Hudiemon, when Wormmon complimented her the butterfly winged fairy like digimon giggled before she said "Dearie, while I am flattered when someone finds me attractive, I'm afraid I have a crush on a rather handsome warrior named Dorulumon."
"I don't know, Hudiemon. I am getting the feeling that with him you may only be friend zoned." Lalamon said looking unsteady worried that things between Wormmon and Purple would get out of hand.
Meanwhile Rob was introducing himself to Kazumi's partners who had reached the garage. Said three digimon were getting a weird vibe from the human but only looked at one another before Yuki then said, "Don't take this the wrong way, young one, but something about you is coming off as odd."
Maybe he is coming off as odd due to coming off as kind of rude since he regained consciousness. Not that he might not have good traits as well, but I don't know him that well yet." Kazumi said.
"What if this figure had nothing to do with Kukuwamon but someone else. Sorry I may be grasping at straws here." Koko suggested before sitting down.

Vemmon is not happy as Wormmon and the purple mech bicker and trade insults back and forth. The purple insect reminds the mech how he has been reasonable up until this point. The mech lowers his cannon and crosses his arms in frustration, tilting his head back.
"This whole time, this monster has been causing chaos, and now you want to trust him? I couldn't fight all of you by myself, so I will withdraw my concerns and go with your wishes."
Hudiemon is flattered when Wormmon tried to come on to her, but it turns out that she is already in a faithful relationship with Dorulumon. Wormmon's antennae drop in disappointment. There were more important matters at hand anyway. One rejection would do little to deter the Worm King's ego in the long run. After a moment, Wormmon appears content again.
"That's fine. I'm happy that you found somebody special."
The south group is free to go where they please. They could return to the garage as intended or help Wormmon rescue his friend Annie. Now they had to worry about purple remaining loyal and not calling in reinforcements. Things had certainly gotten complicated indeed.
As Rob talked to the returning Digimon, even they thought he was acting strange. Kazumi suggests it could have something to do with his recent head wound. Koko wonders is he even is connected to Kukuwamon. Nanomon grows tired of the injured guard.
"I have heard enough! Rob, you are acting suspicious, and as the highest ranking member of the Iron Imperials here, I order you to be escorted to the cells for interrogation."
"But, I haven't done anything wrong! I am fiercely loyal to the Imperials."
"So you say, but there has been enough suspicious activity already. I'm not taking any risks. Someone get green over here. I want the green mech and one or more of Kazumi's companions to take Rob to the cells."
There was little Rob could do to protest as a human with so many Digimon around. The human appears genuinely disappointed. If this individual is up to something shady, what exactly does his plan entail?

"P-Purple, I never said that we have to trust him. At l-least not completely. M-Maybe we should at least give him a chance to earn our t-trust." Vemmon said trying to sound diplomatic his voice despite his familiar stutter sounding somehow calm and patient which was impressive given the circumstances they were now in.
"It is unfortunate that dear Dorulumon only sees me as a friend at most. As for you I am sure a cute little bug like you should have no trouble finding someone someday." Hudiemon said now sounding kind of bubbly but that was how she was sometimes and both Vemmon and Lalamon were as used to her quirks as Kazumi and the rest of the group.
Meanwhile with Kazumi and everyone else things were looking a bit out of hand as it seemed Nanomon was now at the point where he was wanting to imprison Rob for interrogation. How did things spiral like this?
Then Yuki piped up as she said "Now. Now. Don't tell me you are feeling threatened by this Rob fellow. I mean sure he is coming off as obnoxious, but he still is human and therefore not really a threat to even rookie digimon like those of us in Kazumi's army."
"It would be something if there was clear evidence that Rob has done something wrong but, so far, all you have are loose suspicions and nothing more." Shadow then said contributing his two cents as it were.

Vemmon explains to the purple mech that he never said they completely trusted Wormmon. The computer savvy insect suggests they give Wormmon a chance to earn their trust. Purple appears distant and conflicted.
"With all due respect, Vemmon, how would you propose we test Wormmon's trust? Everything we've seen so far points to this creature being a chaotic force of evil." "Now that's what I call jumping to conclusions. How about this? I'll go with you wherever it is you are going, and help you guys."
Hudiemon explains that her crush Dorulumon only sees her as a friend. She also tells Wormmon that she thinks a cute little bug like him will have no trouble finding love someday. This makes Wormmon smile. The hard part would be finding somebody who loves Wormmon at least half as much as he loves himself, but stranger things have happened. "Aww, you're sweet, Hudiemon. After all this is over, I would like an autographed poster. Now then, lead the way, iron people."
Rob had found himself in the center of controversy. Yuki sticks up for the human and points out that a human isn't any real threat when even a Rookie Digimon is more powerful. Had Blisha heard this, she would have blown a gasket. Shadow adds that they only had suspicions and no clear evidence. Nanomon appears very concerned.
"This human is accusing Kukuwamon of treason. That is very serious. Dozens of mech have been destroyed today, and I'll be damned if I am next." Feeling desperate, Rob changes his demeanor and tries to spin some soothing words off a silver tongue.
"Perhaps I misspoke earlier. I recalled what I had heard, but I was in a foggy state due to the head injury. I mean no disrespect. Things are still a bit hazy for me right now. If Nanomon wishes me to return to my post, then I will comply if that's alright."
The guards in the room seem to sympathize with Rob. He had lost a lot of blood. Nanomon gets fed up with this human in light of all the turmoil today.
"Very well. I may have been too hasty. No doubt because of the attack, but that is no excuse for a leader making snap decisions. I'm not Dastex, after all." The green mech reports to Nanomon for duty and salutes the little robot. "Don't worry, I'm not da Aztecs either." Nanomon facepalms.
"That's not what I meant. You know what, nevermind. Green, please accompany officer Rob here back to his post. I am going to check on the Aztecs, I mean Lord Dastex." Nanomon gets ready to exit the room. Rob sighs in relief and wipes his brow below the bandage. He turns to Kazumi's party and thanks them.
"Thank you for sticking up for me. I know emotions are running high, and I don't always say the right thing. You are welcome to come with me if you would like."

"L-Look I don't know how to get Wormmon to prove himself. I h-hate to admit it but I am just winging things and trying to avoid making the conflict worse. T-Think about it, Purple, what if Wormmon isn't evil and just wants his friend back. W-What if he saves his friend then leaves peacefully. No offense b-but I am not one hundred percent sure of the chaotic force of evil thing. M-More like fifty fifty." Vemmon said as Wormmon agreed to go where they went and agreed to help him. That didn't sound evil.
Wormmon then asked Hudiemon about an autographed poster and the butterfly winged digimon said "I think I can manage an autographed poster after everything is settled."
"Okay you have a point about Rob accusing Kukuwamon of treason but with a mind in a foggy state I am sure he could have possibly seen just about anything before passing out." Kazumi said trying to help settle things down.
"Nanomon if you are worried about being one of the next victims you could stay here with Medicmon and to have more security a couple of us could also stay and help here." Yuki said as if trying to also calm things down.
Nanomon gave orders to Green to escort him back to his post before planning to go and check on Lord Dastex. When Rob thanked Kazumi for standing up for him the red head said, "Since there was so little evidence of who is at fault, I just wanted things to be calm so such a thing can be figured out."

Vemmon says that he is not sure how Wormmon can prove himself, and admits that he is just trying to stop the conflict from becoming any worse. He suggests Wormmon might not be evil and would leave peacefully if he gets his friend back. The insect is not sure about Wormmon's morality, maybe 50/50. That has got to be the Worm King's most positive review yet. Wormmon grins and nods his head.
"Mmm hmm, I wouldn't even be here if the Ironsiders didn't take Annie. Our plan is to rescue Annie and get out of dodge. The destroying everything in our path approach was a means to an end."
Wormmon displays no sarcasm or self-awareness during that last sentence. How could anyone, human or Digimon, justify that much collateral damage? Hudiemon agrees to Wormmon's request for an autographed poster when things are settled. The Worm King pumps his little front legs and shouts "Woo hoo!" Purple sighs, and with much less enthusiasm, trudges on heading back towards the garage. It wouldn't be long until they are back since they didn't have to repair any wires, and hopefully no mechs are hostile at the moment.
Kazumi agrees that with the fogginess from the attack, Rob could have thought he saw and heard just about anything. There was no proof one way or another, and even if the intruder had left the security cameras running, they had no master computer here to bring up the footage.
Yuki tries to calm things down and put Nanomon's mind at ease. She explains that he can stay here with Medicmon and the others and that they have strength in numbers. Nanomon takes a minute to ponder his options.
"Well, I really don't want to head to the command center and deal with Dastex right now. I will stay and work on repairs, but I don't want to worry about any more foolishness."
When Rob thanks Kazumi, she explains that there is no evidence against him and how she just wanted to calm things down. It was good having some level-headed individuals around. Even Nanomon who is usually quite reasonable and calculating had grown tired of the stress of the situation, and due to Dastex suspecting a mole, was losing his cool. Rob salutes Nanomon and gets ready to leave with green.
"Staying calm under pressure is not an easy task. Once this intruder has been dealt with, things will go back to normal."
Rob and green exit the garage. Nanomon starts working on some of the injured bots. Over at the command center, Lord Dastex monitors the active cameras with Blisha close by his side. He notices the south group heading back.
"Ah, looks like purple's group has completed their mission as well. This day is finally starting to go our way."
Dastex notices something strange. He recognizes Kazumi's partners traveling with the mech, but there is one more. He sees the Wormmon traveling with them and grows confused.
"Say Blisha, you don't remember any Wormmon in our company, do you?" "No, not that I recall. A vast majority of the Digimon working for us are machine type. I think I would have known if I saw one before." "Peculiar, yes."
Something felt off about the situation. If this Wormmon is hostile, why does he travel with the party freely? Dastex cannot put his finger on it, but there was something disturbing him.

Lalamon floated there her adorable short stubby arms tapping her face as if she was in deep thought. Wormmon, though maybe not evil, sure was not helping his case by admitting to the collateral damage. At least Wormmon was excited at the prospect of Hudiemon giving him an autographed poster. Then Lalamon floated up to Hudiemon before tugging on the butterfly winged fairy like digimon's face. That getting Hudiemon's attention the pair moved back so the girls could speak privately.
"I hope you noticed how odd that Wormmon is behaving. Sure, he might not be evil but him admitting to that damage seems fishy to me seeing as all he claims to want is his friend released."
"Don't worry, Lalamon sweetie, I'm sure even sweet little Vemmon smells something is not totally right. It might be directly due to Wormmon or indirectly. I may seem like a bubble headed fool at times, but you know I am smarter than I appear." Hudiemon replied.
"Fair enough. Now let's catch up." Lalamon said as she and Hudiemon rejoined the group.
While Rob left to return to his post with Green, Nanomon got to work with repairing some of the bots. "Nanomon, maybe when everyone gets back Vemmon and Hudiemon might be able to help out a bit with those bots. Maybe even between you and Vemmon the computer can be repaired." Kazumi said after Rob and Green left the garage.

As the remaining group heads back, the girls move to the back to discuss Wormmon's claims. They have reason to be skeptical. Wormmon doesn't seem to notice Lalamon and Hudiemon discussing.
Back at the garage, Kazumi suggests that between Vemmon and Nanomon, they might be able to repair the computer Dastex destroyed. Nanomon seems to light up with optimism at the possibility of restoring his computer. The group with the purple mech return to the garage. Wormmon crawls to the middle of the room.
"Can I have your attention please? Our lives are in danger. You have to trust me. Purple, can you please blast that security camera?"
The mechs in the room look startled. Purple gives Hudiemon a confused look before looking to Nanomon for guidance. Nanomon silently nods, feeling justified after Dastex shot his computer. Purple aims his wrist cannon at the camera and fires a small rocket that destroys the only security camera in the garage. Wormmon crawls over to the medical beds. He retrieves a flash drive and a speaker.
"Dastex is going to betray you. That 'security officer' planted a bug on Blisha's armor. Let's listen in."
Wormmon turns on the speaker. The audio is grainy, but can mostly be understood. They can hear Dastex and Blisha talking in the command center.
"Looks like the camera in the garage went down. I knew we couldn't trust Nanomon." "Maybe it was that human. I don't trust her or her friends." "I do not either, but they have been useful pawns so far. Look, the package has arrived." "Yes, this is what we have been waiting for." "The cross gauntlet. This is the last piece of the puzzle. Together, we will have ultimate power." "It looks perfect on you." "Don't think I didn't get something for you too." "Dastex! This is what I have been dreaming about since I was a young girl." "Anything for you, my queen. Let's test this out. Guard, bring in Kukuwamon."
Nanomon is shocked and disturbed by what he is hearing. The audio goes silent for a while.
"So, he captured Kukuwamon over baseless accusations? The nerve. Where are my manners? Welcome back, south group. It appears you were successful. I just don't have a way of accessing the computer right now. Who is this bug Digimon with you?"
"My name is Wormmon. I'm sorry for the interruption, but you needed to hear this. I came here to rescue my friend, but then I overheard what Dastex is really planning, and we need to stop him."
There is much whispering among the mechs. Could they trust Wormmon? Is this some kind of trick?
"How do I know that audio is real, and not some kind of computer generated fake?" "You have to trust me. I wager my life on it."
Wormmon turns towards Vemmon and purple.
"Vemmon, you and your friends have no doubt seen the kind of shady behavior Dastex is up to. And purple, I know you don't trust me, but I also happen to know that you told red that you are unhappy with the way Dastex has been running things."
Purple: "But, how could you have known that?" "I can hear very well, when I choose to."
As if things were not confusing enough, Wormmon had thrown everyone a curveball and is now trying to get the Iron Imperials to turn on Dastex. The audio showed Dastex and Blisha being rude, but nothing incriminating yet. Maybe if they listen in, more will be revealed.

Post by ricochet3-Kazumi&Vemmon on Feb 27, 2024 4:08:55 GMT
As the rest of Kazumi's army returns as well as Purple, a small bug digimon named Wormmon crawled into the middle of the room calling for everyone's attention and that lives were in danger. When Wormmon told Purple to destroy the security camera Purple gazed confused at Hudiemon resulting in her shrugging and shaking her head in confusion before Purple looked to Nanomon. Nanomon seemed justified in destroying the security camera as he nodded at Purple who shot a rocket at the lone camera in the garage.
When Wormmon crawled over to the medical beds he brought out a flash drive and speaker before announcing to all that Dastex is going to betray them and that the 'security officer' planted a bug on Blisha. Such a claim caught Kazumi and her forces' attention as Wormmon turned on the speaker. Though grainy the audio could be understood, and boy was it incriminating indeed as Dastex and Blisha talked about their plan not knowing they could be heard.
"I had my suspicions regarding Dastex." Yuki said as whispering among the mechs over whether Wormmon could be trusted.
"W-We haven't been here long, but he did come off as odd." Vemmon started before a thought hit him as he then said "W-Wait. If y-you don't trust Wormmon maybe someone can send a spy drone to Dastex and Blisha that belongs to the Iron Imperials. If t-the message is basically the same, then we know for sure if Dastex is planning betrayal or not."

Post by Dante on Feb 27, 2024 12:21:57 GMT
The tides are turning on Dastex's reputation, and the loyalty of the Iron Imperials would be tested. Yuki mentions how suspicious Dastex appeared in only a short time. Vemmon suggests sending a spy drone to spy on Dastex to be sure that Wormmon is being sincere.
"I wholeheartedly agree. We should spy on Dastex and see what him and that muscly tart are up to."
More audio can be heard. "Kukuwamon, care to admit to treason now?" "B-but, my lord, I am completely loyal. I did not send those codes." "That is irrelevant now. You failed to defend us and are no longer useful." "So this is how I'm repaid for my service? All for one, and one for all!" "Funny you should mention that." "Wait, wait are you doing? No! Stop! Oh god aaaaah!" "Oh Dastex, you've never looked more beautiful to me."
While it isn't clear what had been done, the audio is very disturbing. Wormmon starts coughing like a cat about to throw up. "This is giving me the creeps! Just when I thought Dumbasstex couldn't get any creepier." Nanomon takes a moment to ponder. The mechs turn to him for guidance.
"Imperials, neither I nor Kukuwamon had intentions to turn on our faction, but in light of Dastex's actions, I am now advocating for a mutiny. It is for the good of the Imperials that we take Dastex down." Gasps can be heard. The whispers elevate into a panic. Medicmon scans Nanomon to see if anything is wrong with him, but Nanomon shrugs him off.
"I'm serious. We need to stay on our toes and figure out what that airbag is up to. Like Vemmon said, we need a drone. Does anyone object to mutiny?" Silence falls on the room. The mechs are conflicted. Were their lives really in danger? The blue mech takes a few steps forward, appearing quite displeased.
"We are to obey orders at all costs. Would you compromise the sanctity of our rank and challenge our leader?" "I'm one of the top-ranking members and I am saying we need to watch out. Let's pray the video will not be as disturbing as the audio."
While there are a small handful of decenters, no one openly objects. The mechs have a renewed sense of purpose. It didn't take much to convince them that Dastex is a cold, heartless bastard who cared not for the little guy. Purple stands next to blue.
Purple: "What good is loyalty if your leader is not? Respect goes both ways. I don't like this, but I must admit that putting Dastex in line sounds like an improvement."
Purple turns and looks over at the disassembled yellow mech. It looks like his legs were removed out of spite and not repairs. The mechs start fixing the injured bots, working side by side with Kazumi and her party. Wormmon crawls over and hands Nanomon the flash drive.
"These are records from the security hub. It has videos of abuse to machine Digimon and data about your army."
There are many bots to repair. Purple and blue try to reassemble yellow. Purple asks Vemmon for help. The mech is hooked up to a machine and uploading his memories. Maybe Vemmon can stop the upload without corrupting the data. Another mech has a severed arm, and it will need welded back on with heat. Blue asks Yuki which robot they should use as a drone, banking on the dragon's wisdom making the right call. Wormmon gets distracted looking at Hudiemon, but blushes and turns away when he thinks she notices. What a peculiar worm.

Those in the garage loyal to Dastex's cause were all not seeming totally sure of their loyalty now. It was written plain as day on some of their faces and that didn't take only Yuki to notice that. Things however seemed worse as the audio continued and judging by what was heard not only Kazumi looked a bit green around the proverbial gills as her partners looked pretty unsettled as well. Hudiemon fluttered over to her resting a hand on Kazumi's shoulder before smiling a reassuring smile at the red head. Kazumi looked at her other partners who were offering her subtle looks to show they were there for her like always.
Now Nanomon was advocating for mutiny and the others didn't seem so certain about such a decision. Even Medicmon was trying to scan Nanomon as if concerned something was wrong with the mech. Hudiemon then floated over to the Medicmon that Nanomon shooed away before she said "Sweetie, I know you are concerned about not only everything going on but all the ones in your care. Sounds as if you are a good doctor for your people and they still need you. I get that with what might be necessary that you have your misgivings, but we plan on making sure not to leap recklessly ahead without being certain of the best move."
"I have to admit that is shockingly wise for you, Hudiemon." Dorulumon said from his spot sitting not far from Kazumi.
"I guess all of you have rubbed off on me over time." Hudiemon said with a slight hint of a playful grin causing Dorulumon to shake his head which didn't put her off one bit. Dorulumon was just being Dorulumon after all.
After Wormmon handed Nanomon the flash drive everyone got to work. Kazumi turned to the canine digimon in her group and said "Shadow. Koko. Dorulumon. Could you three stand guard near the door? With the advanced sensed of hearing and smell you three have we will be ready in case trouble comes our way." Nodding the three canine digimon did as Kazumi asked of them.
When Purple asked Vemmon for help the little purple bug walked over to him and asked "H-How can I be of help? I am n-not really a medic seeing as Hudiemon is the group's only healer at this time."
Granted most of the digimon and Kazumi weren't really medically trained nor experts with machines, but every little bit could be helpful. When Blue asked Yuki which robot would be best to use as a drone black dragon tapped her chin before she said "Hmm. I would say one that can keep calm and levelheaded as well as not come off as suspicious if asked any questions. Blue, I have a feeling you know these mechs fairly well and know the best mech for this job."

The audio playing from the speaker left many concerned, and with good cause. Hudiemon provides Kazumi some comfort. When Medicmon checked up on Nanomon, Hudiemon also put Medicmon's concerns at ease. Both are healers, but while Medicmon lacks conventional manners, Hudiemon is more in touch with other's emotions. Dorulumon comments on how wise Hudiemon's words are, and Medicmon nods in agreement. She attributes this wisdom to her time with her friends.
Wormmon fails to notice Hudiemon's playful grin. Had the Worm King been more socially aware, he might detect Hudiemon's feelings towards Dorulumon and become jealous. Kazumi assigns Koko, Shadow, and Dorulumon to stand guard due to their advanced senses. While working on the yellow mech, Vemmon asks purple how he can help.
"His memory is being uploaded. We just need to navigate through the right sequence of menus so the upload stops without corrupting the original file. If we unplug him too soon, he could lose his memory."
The instructions for the process are on the device transferring yellow's data, but there's also a list of codes. It will take advanced computer knowledge to recognize the correct codes, something the Mechanorimon did not understand themselves. They could also finish the upload and then download it back to yellow. One of the other mechs goes looking for yellow's missing legs.
When asked who the drone should be, Yuki suggests someone calm, level-headed, and unsuspicious. She mentions blue has a better understanding of the mechs and he should decide.
"Hmm, right now, that would have to be purple. He seems to have the highest tolerance for tomfoolery."
Blue and Nanomon assist Vemmon with the disabled yellow mech while the others start preparing purple for the spy mission. Red returns with a partially damaged camera that they rig up to purple. The room fills with buzzing and grinding as the mechs get to work. Sparks fly off of purple as they equip him with the gear needed to spy on Dastex. Purple giggles as it tickles being welded. They program it to appear on Medicmon's monitor. Once completed they test it out to see if it works.
"Are you seeing anything?" "Yes, looks nice and clear. The audio too." "Good. Now I just need a good excuse why I'm going to the command center." "Maybe tell Dastex that Nanomon ordered you to guard him because the intruder was spotted again." "That might work, though I'm still open for suggestions."
Elseware, 'Rob' and green are heading towards the security hub. Rob takes a turn and green gets confused.
"Where are you going? The hub is this way. That leads to the cells." "The fires blocked off some paths. This is the way Blisha carried me." "Ah, makes sense. Carry on, then."
At least for Rob's sake, green is easy to persuade. Could Rob be trying to reach the cells to rescue Annie?

Purple told Vemmon that the yellow mech's memory was being uploaded and that if he was unplugged too soon the memory could be lost. Vemmon nodded and moved closer taking a look at the instructions for the process of transferring Yellow's data properly seeing the list of codes. Clicking his mandible, he took notice of the sensitive work at hand before he said "I c-can see why you asked for a bit of help. I c-can handle this as long as I keep my focus." While another mech looked for Yellow's missing legs Vemmon got started putting his computer knowledge to use. It would take a little bit, but he had infiltrated computers for the purpose of hacking them from within, so such a thing was no biggie for a clever little bug like himself.
The mech Blue recommended was Purple and Yuki said "Good choice. His comes off as a very patient mech to me. What also may help is making sure the spy equipment installed is inconspicuous to those around him.
