Grace conceded and sighed. "What should I tell the others?"
"Tell them there's no reason to lose heart yet." I directed. "Perhaps something Bob tries will work."

He stumbled across a decryption command file that involved the combining of two different data elements into one. The product was highly unstable, but the premise was right. "This looks promising!" Bob declared. He pulled open the file to investigate further.
That would be great, Bob, if we were merging again, but I guess it was worth a try. At the very least the two of us fused together ran the risk of being highly unstable.
The plans were relatively simple to parse, and with a little work and a helpful .exe construction kit Bob had the three pods built, wired up and ready for business. He grinned and looked proudly at his handiwork. "Now, all I have to do is get it to work backwards and things should be good. This'll be easier than I thought."
