“Im… not sure you understood me correctly. But seriously, unless you want to die a very very painful death, I suggest you stay away.” Flug sighed and turned to walk away. “There are others like him less dangerous.”

Carlos frowned. “I’ve faced death before. It’s all part of science and the pursuit of knowledge. I thought you might understand that too.” He watched Flug as he started off toward the mansion. “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry about what happened to your robot. I’m glad it wasn’t worse.”

“I can’t die. So I wouldn’t know. Besides,” Flug stopped and glanced back at Carlos, his goggles seeming to glow. “Only the best villains get the honor of working with him.” Then he left without another word.

Yeesh… like doctor like boss, it seemed. Maybe he thought Carlos was after his job? That would make sense… but of course Carlos wasn’t after it at all. He just had questions that he wanted answered.

He sighed and turned to head back to his car. Back to work, he supposed. He should probably rig up an EMP device as a precaution. Nothing damaging, just enough to shut down any robots that came after him again.

Later that day, Black Hat went on his usual evening walk. His cane clacked softly on the pavement as he walked along the silent street. Ah this was peaceful.

Carlos worked out of the back of his car, shaded by the raised back door as he put together the EMP device. It would be forward-shooting, to prevent hurting his own instruments or anything else that he didn’t want to stop. It looked like a megaphone, but was totally not a megaphone.

His attention was drawn when his danger meter started ticking, and so he looked up to see Black Hat walking. He smiled and waved. “Good afternoon!”

Black Hat stopped and scowled. “You’re still here?” He snarled, slowly walking closer to the very annoying human.

Carlos nodded. “Yes. I still have some work to do.” He looked down at the EMP device. “I met your scientist, Dr Flug – very interesting guy.”

Hatbot
fell silent, contacting Gamma, who was currently with Flug. A few
minutes later, the bagged scientist rushed out of the manor. “My baby-!”

Carlos immediately sat up and away so that this scientist wouldn’t shove him away. Wait, was that a bag on his head?

Well, Carlos had seen weirder.

“I used a paradox on it and it fell over,” Carlos explained quickly. “I tried to reboot, but I think something fell loose in the fall.”

“Wait- who are you?” Flug asked slowly, looking at the other suspiciously as he approached his robot. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m a scientist,” Carlos responded. He reached up to offer the other man his hand to shake. “Carlos Ramon. I came here following a strange signal on my supernatural reader.”

“That’s… probably jefe.” Flug slowly shook his hand before beginning to repair the hatbot. “He’s the only supernatural thing in this area.” Okay, well, that wasn’t… TOTALLY true but he wasn’t about to spill secrets to a stranger.

Carlos nodded. “I’d gathered as much. By the way, my danger meter’s been unusually high since I set foot on this island.” He scooted over to give the other scientist more room.

“Yeah. That’s… that’s him.” Flug muttered, staring into the hatbot’s circuits until he found the problem. In a few minutes, the robot was back on its feet and going back inside with the smaller hatbot.

Carlos was surprised that the giant robot was up so quickly, but was relieved when it didn’t seem to be interested in him anymore. “Glad that was an easy fix,” he murmured. He then stood up. “By the way, um… Doctor? I didn’t get your name.”

“Dr. Flug Slys.” He replied, straightening up and adjusting his yellow cloves. “You should get out of here. Before Black Ht desides to have you for dinner.”

Carlos frowned. “Well, I’m not hungry for anything except knowledge. I want to know more about that energy reading. It’s pretty similar to the stuff back home, and I’m hoping this could open up some doors to learning about what’s happening in Night Vale, where I live.”

Hatbot bounced again, pleased about this news. “Hatbot.” The small robot looked up at his boss.

“Yes sir?”

“I shall be inside. Watch over this pathetic fool and make sure he
does nothing funny.” Black Hat glared at the human. “Have him bring the
sentinel back when finished.”

“Yes sir!” Hatbot saluted with a grin.

Carlos hummed lowly. “The only one doing the funny stuff here is you, Señor Sombrero Negro hombre,” he murmured in a very low voice.

He immediately got to work looking around and figuring out the components he was looking at. There was a lot going on inside, he could tell. Vocal components, what looked like large coolant lines complete with a hat-shaped pump right where a heart would be on a typical human, large servos and power cords… oh, it was beautiful. He could honestly spend all day in there.

But he had a job to do so he started to look at the wires to make sure nothing was burned and broken.

Black Hat strode back into the hat shaped manor as Hatbot curiously watched the other work. This stuff was always so interesting to him! He loved to watch his creator work when he could.

Carlos hummed to himself and gently moved wires around as he inspected. He found a manual control panel further in the cavity and hummed and nodded to himself.

“I see, I see,” he said. “Okay… so far nothing looks like it’s been knocked loose from the fall. So all I have to do is activate the start-up sequence.”

Carlos got a smaller screwdriver from his bag and he started to turn the connections he found, making sure each bolt was tight. Once done he reached in to get ready to flip the switch back on.

“Alright… let’s see how he sounds.”

Carlos flipped it and retracted his hand before sitting back and watching the robot. He listened for any crackling or any rattling, which would signal that something was out of place.

Hat Bot watched anxiously and then tilted his head when a rattling sound came from him. “What’s that?”

Carlos frowned. He reached in and shut off the switch to abort the reboot before pulling out his phone and shaking it to turn on the light. “Something’s not connected,” he told the little robot as he shined it inside and started scrutinizing wires. “Or… something broke when he fell.” It sounded like it came from deep within the robot’s chest cavity. Carlos wasn’t sure he’d be able to reach it. “Dammit… Here, hold this,” he then said, offering the little robot his phone to shine the light.

Hatbot curiously took the phone and shone the light for him. “I can call Dr.flug? He created us, he’ll know what’s wrong!” He said confidently.

Carlos reached his hand in to push aside wires and get a better look. He glanced at the little robot. “Uh… how would he feel about me having shorted out your, uh… buddy here?” he asked.

“He’ll be a little upset, but he’ll be more worried about fixing him.” Hatbot shrugged, bouncing slightly on his wheel. “Should I call him?”

“Mm…” Carlos hummed awkwardly, considering. He was quiet for a few moments as he peered into the giant robot’s cavity to see if he could find what was wrong immediately. But he couldn’t. Damn. “Uh… your guys’ creator… yeah, you should probably have him come out here. I’m not sure where everything is.”
