They landed in the street in front of the residence of KPG and Jakob.
This time the real Alex went to the door and the duplicate stayed behind.
He knocked.

Jakob answered, opening the door a crack.
"Where is she?" he asked.

"Right here," Melody said nervously, raising her hand.

Alex stepped to the side to let her through.
The second Alex watched with a sort of curiosity. Just before, he had thought that seeing her hurt would be funny... but now that was gone. In fact, he couldn't think of why people being hurt would have entertained him in the first place.

Melody stepped into the house, glancing around nervously. "So, how does this work?" She asked.

KPG arrived from the lab, fully suited.
"I recommend that you refrain functioning for the time being. Tampering with CPUs while they're still active is dangerous."
Jakob gave KPG a look, almost saying "Hail Captain Obvious."
"But if you want to get brain damage, be my guest."

Melody nodded, before shutting down, immediately collapsing onto the floor. Jenny watched with interest. She wondered how Melody had been convinced to take part in the attack on Jenny and her mother. Maybe she was just this compliant to everyone.

KPG started probing Melody's head until he found a way to open the skull portion. The "brain" didn't seem to impress KPG, seeing as Jakob's is actually far more complex.
He started probing around with his gloved hands, looking for ports he can connect scanning devices into. He then found one, and kept a finger on it.
Clicks were heard. KPG was now looking through for any anomalies.
"Jakob, you said that Mogg didn't seem to know about it, correct?"
Jakob nodded... but then paused.
"Ah, you finally get the idea," KPG laughed.
Yeah, Jakob grimaced, I still need to improve.

The real Alex was inside watching the procedure with some interest, but his double was keeping watch outside of the door, staring directly down the street, though still pondering the events of the day, specifically the sudden changes in his demeanor.

Jakob thought for a moment, and then started talking.
"The Y-K9 is built with loyalty in mind. Mogg also has motives to go against Dr. Wakeman. I would expect him to be an underling as well, but he could be our next shot if we come up with nothing on Melody."
KPG tapped his mask visor, a signal for Jakob.
"What do you have?" Jakob asked.

((OOC:Removed Jenny's statement, as far as everyone should be concerned all characters besides Jakob and KPG don't know Mogg is responsible yet)) Inside Melody's mind a simple video file triggered. Melody was lying flat on her back, Dr.Locus and Mogg staring down at her. "What exactly are you going to do?" Melody asked. Mogg smiled down at her, the look was sincerely warm and comforting. "I'm going to upgrade your weapons and operating systems, dear," He said. He smile widened, and he continued. "I'm going to ask you a simple favor, and in exchange you'll get a fresh start in life," He said, "I've already got it set up, a new home, a new job. All I need from you is one simple thing." Melody tilted her head. "And what's that?" She asked. Mogg's look darkened. "I need you to kill XJ-9," He said, "And capture Nora Wakeman." Melody hesitated for a moment. "I'm not sure," She mumbled. Locus frowned down at her. "Do as he says," He said, "And you can start again, free from the hatred you've received in Tremorton." Melody sighed. "Fine," She said. Mogg smiled. "Thank you," He said, "Now go to sleep, when you wake everything will be fine..." With that, the video ended.

"So, anything yet?" Alex asked impatiently.
His double was now sitting staring up at the sky outside, lost in his thoughts.

A port in KPG's mask opened, and a flickering projector poked out, and started showing what KPG had obtained. The dark wall was lit up to show the footage.
Jakob nodded. It made sense before, it certainly would now. But what if this footage was purposefully put in there to throw them off?
No way to know unless they questioned Mogg himself.

"So Mogg was behind it the whole time?" Jenny asked. "Or someone wants us to think he is," Champ said. Jenny grinned. "Only one way to find out," She said. She turned, opening Jakob's door and motioning for the others to follow.

They all fell in line, the real Alex last, and the second Alex just about at the front of the line.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go show the good doctor some of his own medicine." The new Alex proclaimed, popping his jets and getting ready to fly.
