The lone transport UAV lands and depart, the Toppats mid-celebration at victory. A criminal clan had just saved Duckburg from total destruction. The six are congratulated by the others.

"Phew! Thank goodness that's over!" Louie says.

"Not quite kid..." Boone states, everyone confused.

"What do you mean? We resolved the issue with the system." Huey says.

"No, we resolved AN issue with the system. We found an error in the code causing a failsafe to be rendered null. We never figured out what caused the system to go awry in the first place." Boone explains, as everyone realizes what he means. He was right. While the system was taken out of commission, the cause of the malfunction was never found.

"Yes, that is troubling. Guess we won't know now, huh?" Gyro sighs.

"Not quite. I sent the system code to coders here on the ship. They are looking through everything for what could cause it." Boone says.

On the ground, the OG and lone GCDS LBs shake hands, everyone noticing. Then Boone realizes something. "Wait... Didn't you say that newer one helped you, even though it was rogue?"

"Yeah. I just convinced it that we were good." Gyro states.

"Yeah, but, then it saved our lives by lying to the ones that tried to kill us so they would leave and it could free us..." Webby says.

Boone then remembers. "Wait. When it saved us, did any of you notice that it wasn't as brightly red as the others?" When he points that out, the others recall it.

"Actually, yeah. Come to think of it, the red started to dim right after Gyro convinced it we were good." Dewey says.

"And it dimmed even more after it saved us." Cross points out.

"That, makes no sense. It was linked with the others and should not have become individualized." Gyro says.

"Hmm, and yet, despite being rogue, it followed orders and directi-" As Huey realizes. "Wait, Doctor Gearloose, did the system ever deviate from it's core directives?"

Gyro laughs at what he thinks is a stupid question, then realizes. "No. It didn't..."

"It tried ta' kill my family!" Scrooge argues.

"And it tried to kill us on sight!" Cross argues.

"Because the McDucks are some of the most capable individuals in the world. And you Toppats are criminals. Remember what Gyro said back at the lab? It was trying to eliminate the most dangerous individuals in Duckburg. As in, the biggest threats to others' safety..." Huey points out.

"Yeah. Come to think of it, hostility like that is more typical of martial law or military occupation." Boone says, then looks at Gyro. "Did the system have an occupation or martial law mode."

"Well, built-in, yes. And the actions did fit fighting an insurgency even. But to even switch to that mode it'd have to be ordered by an external operator." Gyro states.

"And that is the only way it could switch over?" Boone asks and Gyro nods. "Tell me, are you certain it was in simple law enforcement mode?" Gyro starts to confirm, but then hesitates. "We need to check the command history." Boone makes his way to the computer ops room with everyone.

Boone has them pull up the command and status history of the system up to destruction. From initiation, it remained in law enforcement mode when, suddenly, it received an external command to switch to occupation mode, as well as a list of 'dangerous individuals'. When opened, this list contains the info of the McDucks, as well as others.

"Well, someone switched it." Boone deduces.

"But who? Gyro and Fenton were the only ones with access to it!" Scrooge states.

Then, a deviancy is located right before the mode switch. An opening in the network and a data dump, before it is closed. It is all consistent with an operator override, mode switch command, and individuals list.

"This was no malfunction..." Boone states the now obvious.

"The system was hacked! But, who could possibly hack into such a secure system?" Gyro asks.

"You don't think FOWL might have something to do with it, do you?" Beakley asks.

"Not sure." Boone shrugs. "I guess we'll never find out..."


Meanwhile, deep beneath Duckburg, under Funso's Fun Zone- where the fun is in the zone-, in a high tech facility...

"Agent Dee, I told you to simply hack into the system to make it take out the McDucks. I did not order you to make it try to destroy the city!" An elderly male buzzard says, displeased.

"Hey! All I did was switch it to military mode and give it a hit list, in addition to shutting off all failsafes! I didn't know they would do all this!" A young female chicken defends, rolling her eyes. "Besides, if ONLY the McDucks were listed, it would be suspicious! I had to add those others!"

"Including several of our agents?!" The buzzard snaps.

"Had to be believable. It'd counter suspicions. Besides, we had them all recalled prior to it for that reason! None were at risk!" The chicken states.

"Ugh..." The buzzard pinches the bridge of his beak, sighs. "You are lucky the damage was minimal... And, I will admit, got us some rather interesting information..."

"Oh? What?" She looks up from her phone.

"We now know the capabilities of the Toppat Clan..." He says as he looks at the digital schematics of the megaship, as he plots FOWL's next move.
