[Hey, guys. Don's in his lab again, this time working on...well. Who knows what he's working on. They look metal-ish, though. Pipe-like. And so on.]

Guys, I came back here from the Games after seeing that outburst from Pollo. I'm pretty darn sure that Mechakara's trying or will be trying to take over again. Its happened before and I'm not willing to just sit around and wait for it to progress to a point where we can't stop it this time.

We owe it to Pollo to try to help him, so...

[He stops for a moment, with working and talking, weighing his words before he speaks again.]

I guess the question is...are you willing to see if androids in pony bodies really do dream of electric sheep? Because I'm ready to.

Vergil's cave is out in the Everfree. Never mind, Don. I'll see to it. Not to worry! Poltergeists are just a bit mad, you know?

W-wait! Don't...

[There is no way Bertie could survive the Forest in his condition.]

...don't you want to...make sure you've got coffee for it? I mean...

Oh, I'll ask old Alastor to pop me right into the cave. And I've got a coffee for the road. [Bertie presents said coffee, then frowns, something niggling at him about the unicorn's tone.] Frightfully friendly of you to worry, old top, but I think I can manage picking up a chalice. And, well... if Alastor's busy, I'll ask Dante or Vergil to take me back. Dependable sorts, dragons.

Maybe so, but..are you sure that's going to be strong enough? Or that it will last?

I... suppose I could get another cup to bring with me. [What a shoddy sort of job he'd be doing if he just suddenly fell down snoring on the floor.] Right! I'm off to it, then! I'll see you in the nearish to soonish, what?

[Ok, an opening. He is going to have to take it.]

Well, why not get a cup of my brew then? I brew my coffee a good dozen times stronger than just about anypony around. Its how I get work so many sleepless nights.

[Come on, Bertie. Take the bait.]

Oh! Well, I could stop by the commune first, I suppose, rally the troops and all that. Jolly decent of you to offer, old thing. I've still got to sort out actually getting to Ponyville, though.
