And now we're reading Alrick Jimmens's report on Alice in Wonderland for some reason.

Interesting. Tulip wants to free the cat and be done, but the cat doesn't think that it's fair that Tulip gets nothing from her.

She may be a sleazy businesswoman, but she's a sleazy businesswoman with principles.

That's cool! She's an audiohacker! If you play specific sounds into a computerized system, it will interpret them as code, and you can reprogram it.

Glad One: Hooray! Now you'll be gone forever!

Sad One: To be clear, that's a good thing.

So they were right!

Also these Robins have been very forgiving. The ads aren't loading, and it's skipping straight to the episode!

Glad One: Sleeping's creepy.

I wonder if One-One can sleep normally, and this is just their first time.

That's what the storm is! It's the way home!

The storm designers really should have put a bit more thought into the design of the teleportation system. At least obscure the disintegration effect.

And with her journey completed, a door home is presented.

But we all know Tulip isn't going to take this door just yet.

So the roacher gun was originally some sort of defense system for the train.

[flerpliveblogsinfinitytrain]

And One-One seems to have control over this tape.

Which they used to rewatch a teacher sitting on a whoopie cushion.

Also the teacher was chiding a student for playing with a crystal radio.

Reminds me of a paper where a teacher complained about kids of the day relying too much on paper, and not knowing how to properly clean a slate.

Tulip: She turned Atticus into a monster; I don't wanna feel bad for her.

Even if the conductor is a horrible person, it's hard not to empathize with her.

[flerpliveblogsinfinitytrain]

Now that's a twist I didn't expect! It's Amelia's husband that died!

And now it all makes sense why the conductor and the steward seem to be going against the train: Amelia overthrew the previous conductor!

[flerpliveblogsinfinitytrain]

It's the conductor!? And he's a game designer? (Or maybe just a gamer?)

I wonder if he's actually a robot now, or he's in an exosuit and he's still just using that vocoder.

[flerpliveblogsinfinitytrain]

This tape looks damaged. Got too close to a magnet maybe?

Interesting that the cat didn't want to say whose tape this is.

Also interesting thing from my life: The VHS cabinet in my house had a magnetic child safety lock on it, but when I was old enough to open it on my own, my parents left it on because I liked unlocking it.

They did warn me never to put the magnet near the tapes.

So the cat knows a way to save Atticus, and she had prepared for it earlier, probably knowing the conductor was going to roach someone. Now she may be lying to try to trap Tulip again to regain favor with the conductor, but I think she's telling the truth. If the conductor let her almost die, she has no reason to trust him now, and thus no reason to lie to Tulip.

Also I'm really hopeful that Atticus can be saved.

One-One seems to remember something about the number, namely that it marks progress.

And it's going up.

[flerpliveblogsinfinitytrain]

And with the shuttlecraft hotwired into the trains control panel through the steward's severed arm (I was wrong about it being a One-One interface btw), they're headed to the engine!
