[The mirror at first only shows robots marching past, destroying and trampling the Gardens as they go. Really, you might think, why did the Vine even bother? It's not exactly hard to miss the drama going on- no need for this kind of public awareness announcement.

But, see, the Vine sensed something exciting about to happen.]

TIRO FINALE!

[There is a group of very still robots behind Paderau, she has been slowly corralling as many of them as she can in one area.]

That's enough.

Oh, so you've managed to tame a few?

I understand why you'd be concerned, given your...apparent affinity with them, but I'm afraid that I have to repeat myself; I'll stop when they do.

We all gotta be here, and the robots didn't ask for her Majesty to link up their world to her batshit schemes any more than we asked to get brought here.

[Her eyes narrow.]
