Story

At an underground area, Franke and the Purple King watch as the King's Cocoon is laid. Franke is curious as to why the Invaders need to do so, and the Purple King tells her to study. Franke then makes a scientist's joke, which the Purple King does not appreciate. She asks it if this is the spot, and it tells her to simply wait. Unbeknownst to either of them, a machine is watching them.

Elsewhere in a Rebel facility, an unnamed mechanic is sleeping; she is the caretaker of the tank, known as Eight Eight. Eight Eight bursts into the mechanic's room from the window, giving the mechanic a fright. Eight Eight warns the mechanic of what it saw, so she sends it to Katalina, who then asks her to come in-person. The mechanic is nervous to be in a one-on-one talk with a member of ACE, so she helps herself to some tea. Katalina decides to lead the operation, and seeing that Eight Eight is attached to the mechanic, orders her along. The mechanic spits her tea out at Katalina upon hearing this.

Returning to the hive, Eight Eight asks Katalina where the mechanic is, who tells it that she is at the back. Both Invaders are surprised by Eight Eight's appearance; the Purple King notes that it is familiar, yet less intelligent and savage, while Franke is surprised to see a Di-Cokka with eyes and an Invader parasite's voice.

Katalina and Franke, despite being on opposite sides, comment on Eight Eight's abilities and the Metal Fusioner's properties. Katalina asks Franke if the Invaders created Eight Eight's AI, but Franke states that they aren't capable of fine-tuning such details, and that it acts like a child, both coming to the conclusion that there isn't a scientific explanation for it. The Purple King scolds Franke again as it notices she is not fighting. Franke tells it that it is how fellow scientists speak with each other, and the two part ways.

Eight Eight, hearing Katalina compliment it, then shows off its signature attack, spinning around wildly and generating a tornado that nearly blows away her Marinesk, while sending the Purple King, Franke and the cocoon flying away. The attack leaves Eight Eight exhausted, and the mechanic comes in and explains to Katalina that it is low on energy. Eight Eight is worried that Katalina is upset, but she tells it otherwise and orders a search for the cocoon. Eight Eight becomes happy and performs a myriad of tricks, just as Katalina states an intent to disassemble it for study with the mechanic in agreement, causing it to stop to a standstill. Katalina then tells Eight Eight that it was a scientist's joke.
