Synopsis

Dr. Broadhurst attaches a homing device to X-51's face mask and allows Aaron to retrieve it and leave the complex. After he encounters the monolith a second time, Mister Machine comes upon a boy and his mother changing a tire and helps them out. Observed by Mr. Hotline and his driver Kringe, Machine Man is then set upon by a wave of attackers whom he defeats, which convinces Mr. Hotline that Aaron is indeed the surviving X-51 model that escaped the destruction of his fellows.
