Summary
It must really say something about Robert, that the only person to ever really love him ended up being a monster. He's been on his own since the day his dad shot his father, the Mecha Man mantle being all he had left from either of them. Then his dad breaks out of jail and blows him up, leaving him with a lost leg and suit he's never going to get back up.
But SDN promised they could rebuild it. All he had to do was play dispatcher for a group of reformed villains. He could be Mecha Man again---but his father shows all up in his business, ready to snatch it all away again.
---
If his son wanted to play this game then Shroud will play. His son will be right by his side, safe as he always should have been. He failed to protect his son from Mecha Man once, he will not fail again.

Robert is beginning to get suspicious. He's survived things he definitely shouldn't have. It doesn't fit.
He hates when things don't fit.

Summary
"No way. No fucking way. Why the fuck would Shroud write me in his will?"
"He wrote here his next of kin; Robert Robertson III... Seems pretty clear don't you think? Usually people jump at the idea of inheriting the family business, especially one as successful as his."
Robert squinted at him. "Dude. I am NOT inheriting the Red Ring."

Summary
Somehow—throughout everything—Robert maintains plausible deniability about the whole “Mecha Man” thing without really trying. This changes virtually nothing.
Until it’s over. And then, suddenly, it does.
Series
- Part 1 of “it’s him or me,” and other false dichotomies
- Part 4 of assorted dispatch stuff

Summary
Sonar spoke up. “If we do good, do we get paper birds?”
Robert gazed at his monitor with a thousand yard stare. “You know what, sure. Whoever is the highest on the leaderboard by the end of the day gets a crane. Now, go do your jobs or I’m not paying for the first round of drinks on Friday.”
Or,
Robert accidentally bribes the team into a better performance with origami cranes. Surely a physical representation of how well he thinks each person is doing won't come back to bite him.
