"... I know. New York City first, then the world," Ratchet's voice spoke from the recording, soon followed by evil laughter between him and whoever else was there. Pausing the recording, Snowball looked around the room at the assembled animals. Gesturing to the recording, the white rabbit asked, "Any questions?"

"You mean to tell me that there is psychotic dog out there who's gonna take over the city with an army of robots?!" Atlanta exclaimed. The masked cat was sitting on the couch beside her partner the White Warrior. Neither had revealed their identities or taken off their masks. Snowball was just thankful that Tattoo had managed to find the pair last night. Leaning against the wall, Ozone got up and left as he muttered, "You're on your own this time. We're dead if we face a robot army."

"I agree. White Warrior, let's get out of here," Atlanta agreed. Getting up, she was about to follow Ozone to the door when the White Warrior grabbed her arm and dragged her over to the corner where they could talk privately. Sighing heavily as he realized how many of them were already giving up, Snowball looked over at Max and Duke. Unlike Atlanta and the White Warrior, Mantle and Vapor had revealed their identities. Crossing his arms, he asked quietly, "What do you think?"

"The other guy in the recording is Cogsworth. We've dealt with him before," Max remarked, frowning slightly at the recording. Duke's giant paws were clenched into fists. The two dogs glanced at each other, having some kind of silent conversation between themselves. Looking back up at Snowball, Max pointed out, "We're in. We can not let them take over the world."

"We're in too, despite how we're all gonna die," Atlanta chimed in. She and the White Warrior were standing side by side. Breathing a sigh of relief, Snowball looked over at Plato and Pops as he asked, "Think you can get the city evacuated by tomorrow? We're gonna be in for the fight of our lives."
