Everyone, I'd like to welcome you to today's graduation ceremony.
I understand this year's graduating class is a bit larger than usual.
Congratulations on surviving, everyone!
(Felix)
Isn't that the person who officiated your wedding, Professor?
Yes, he does weddings AND graduations.
Our wedding too.
(chuckle)
One step at a time, Lemi.
Now let's get started.
(clearing throat)
Ernie Anthony.
That's me!
(clapping)
Oh dear!
It's getting away!
What are you doing?!
You have to keep firing!
It’s no use.
They've already conquered five worlds.
Dammit!
Pull yourself together.
You can't let self doubt cloud your judgment!
A giant frog?
Greetings, friends.
We need to stop the AASAU before it can self-replicate
and conquer your world.
“Ass-ow”?
AASAU:
Automated Advanced Scout Assault Unit.
They go to unconquered worlds
assess their strength
then conquer them.
Where do they come from?
Or you, for that matter.
We are from what you would call a parallel universe.
Nearly 20 years ago
our Earth made a groundbreaking discovery
in the realms of cybernetics and artificial intelligence.
They were called AIRs:
Artificial Intelligence Robots.
Great, another acronym.
Then the AIRS went rogue and killed everyone.
Which always seems to happen.
From all the battles, our world was left dying.
One of our scientists broke the barrier between universes.
He thought we could escape to a parallel Earth.
(Trentuf)
The AIRs caught wind of our plan
and took the technology:
the OTGFLQ Device
for themselves.
Not gonna ask what that bullshit stands for.
Now they're using it to consume more worlds.
Make their empire even stronger.
So far they've conquered 5
but they've set their sights on your world.
This story is long and boring.
Can I wait in the shoe store?
How will the AASAU self replicate?
It will go to the nearest robot manufacturing plant
and override its programming
to start manufacturing robots
to kill humanity.
Uh, we don't have any robot manufacturing plants on our world.
We figured out funny cat videos on the Internet.
Well, at least they have the Internet.
Every world’s figured out the Internet, Razina!
Wait! My God...
While killer robots aren't commonplace here
one very special prototype was made a couple years ago.
(Roger)
You mean Bob O. Rōb?
(Carl)
Robo Bob.
Bob O. Rōb was the name of the inventor, remember?
(Roger)
Oh, my bad.
Bob's not picking up.
We need to go to his laboratory as soon as possible.
I only hope we make it in time.
(Professor)
Bob!
Bob...
He’s unconscious.
Our AIR friend is here as well.
(Carl)
What’s it doing?
Attempting to take over this facility’s computer system.
I will not let it finish.
(scream)
(gasp)
(gasp)
What a dumbass.
So what’s Plan B?
It could very well be too late.
We may have one chance.
What are you doing, Professor?
As I suspected.
The AASAU popped up on the wireless network.
You gonna leech off his wi-fi or somethin’?
I can do better than that.
What?
What did you do?
Obviously, as your friend demonstrated
a direct attack was impossible.
Therefore, I attacked indirectly.
I emailed the AASAU every single cat video on the Internet.
Every video?
Every single one.
This technology is years ahead of what I could have created on my own.
This technology must be destroyed.
Otherwise, what happened in my world will happen in yours.
With respect, this isn’t your world.
All I know about you and your world is what you’ve told us.
But I’m sorry about the kind of life you’ve had to live.
You have no idea.
But I thank you for following the AASAU here and alerting us to its intent.
We will never forget what you and your friend did here today.
It's so quiet here.
Peaceful
beautiful
I could get used to this.
