- Welcome to Aotearoa.

Vast, green and beautiful.

2070 kilometres from the bottom of Te Wai Pounamu, all the way north to the tip of Te Ika a Ma

Our adventure begins here,

in Tamaki Makaurau.

Well, more precisely ―

the Auckland dump.

It's here we find a 10 centimetre robot

over one and a half thousand kilometres from home.

So where are you from?

How long have you been here? - I do not know.

- (LAUGHS) You don't seem to know much, do you?

- Hey, that's no way to speak to your...

elders.

- How do you know you're older than me?

- I just do. It's just a― a general electronic vibe I get.

When you become a― - OK, Rej. Sounds good.

Hey, should we get out of here? Like, take a look around.

- Please refrain from calling me Rej.

- OK, Rej. - Stop it.

- Sure thing, uh...

Rej. - Stop calling me Rej.

- Rej, Rej, Rej.

- Why do you keep calling me Rej? - Look.

- Curious.

In that case, your name must be Rub. - Oh, yeah. Classic.

Anyway, Rej. Just you and me, huh?

You and me against the world.

Let's go for a hoon. Take a look around.

- No, we should remain here.

- See ya, mate.

Help me!

Rej! Rej!

Yes. He's online.

The A.I. implant seems to work perfectly.

Excellent. Very good.

Yes, it's beginning to roll.

(BEEPING)

There you go, little guy.

Back on your charging station.

Excellent.

We are going to make the world a happier, safer place with you.

- This technology is really going to put Southern Institute of Technology

on the map―

map― map―

map― map― map―

- Map. Map. (ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

- South. South. Home. Home. Home.

Oh-ho-ho, man, that was weird.

Oh, gidday. How's it going?

- Please be quiet. - No thanks.

Where are you from?

VOICE ECHOES: Hey! I know you. You're that old guy, from earlier.

- Silence.

- Why do we have to be quiet?

Anyway― - Quiet, please.

We are in danger.

- Nah, I don't really want to be quiet. Being quiet...

- (LAUGHS EVILLY)

..is pretty boring. I'd rather talk, you know? Actually,

why do we have to be quiet?

- There is a deadly robot hunting us.

- Huh. Deadly robot, you say? Sounds like a likely story.

- Oh no.

- Hey, what was that?

Anyway, as I was saying,

before you boringly interrupted my very cool story.

Rej, I've just had this really weird flashback

and I've realised we have to head south to the Southern Institute of Technology

to see the professor and the doc.

- Please be quiet.

(BLASTER WHIRRS)

(PEW!)

(REJ AND RUB EXCLAIM)

- (LAUGHS EVILLY)

- Ow, my face!

(BOTH YELL)

Ah-ha-ha!

- Please stop.

- I'm dizzy!

- I do not like going down.

Please, stop. - Ah!

Hey, a cat. (CAT MEOWS)

- This is going on...

for an extremely...

long time.

Ow.

- Whoa-ho-ho.

- Ouch.

I dislike it.

Ah.

Oh! - (CRIES)

- It's still going.

(BOTH YELL)

- Why? Please!

Oh!

- We're here, I guess. - Where is here?

- Whoop whoop! All right, it's time to head south.

South to the Southern Institute of Technology.

- No, we remain here overnight,

where it is safe.

(HORN BLARES) - Oh no.
