Vincent has a more active role now, as you can see. As I mentioned in the previous page he now is in charge of “locking” the robots in order to “deactivate” them making their transport to the workshop where the actual repair will take place easier (robots here can’t be deactivated anyway -more on this later in the story-, but their core functions can be blocked isolating the brain signals).

His new tools also allow him to connect to the brain of the robot semi-wirelessly (it doesn’t need a wire but the sensor in his hand needs to be in contact with the device to be connected to). This also means his “jacking in” expression is used here metaphoricaly. Also, while he’s placed his hand on the robot’s forehead that doesn’t mean it’s the only place he can connect to it. He could, in fact, touch any part of the robot body with the same results. The forefront, though, is usually desirable as it provides a higher chance for the connection to keep stable during the locking process.

You may notice, particularly if you’re a regular reader, that Vincent’s avatar has his old look. He just forgot to update it. And it’s also just an excuse for me to keep the old Robomeks look in this new volume.
