"Ladies and Gentleman, this is Cindy Tynan reporting for W.R.K.Z. Radio, and it appears the siege of the massive robots is far from over."

A giant robot has attacked Frieda Aliyev's residence, I guess she should have listened to Lobster Johnson when he told her he was trying to protect her. As Lobster and his crew race against time to try find Aliyev's 2 business partners who have robots, their only method is to turn on Aliyev's Robot! Before you know it there's a robot battle that even Policemen are watching and cheering at, because well, gosh darn, it might be quite an exciting spectator sport?



I particularly enjoyed Cindy Tynan's reporting, and the response or Wald and his subordinate to her actions, as evidenced by this exchange.

Subordinate (eating a sandwich): "Man, hot on the trail of Giant Robots with no cops around? This dame ain't afraid of NOTHING!"
Wald (also eating a sandwich): "Yeah. That's ALWAYS been her problem."

Haha how apt! I love little exchanges like this, it makes characters feel more real and grounded.
