Jumping back slightly Mumbo blinks at the people standing in front of the hermitcraft world hub.
They are shouting things. Saying awful things about the hermits and what they've 'done to themselves' a buzzing fills his ears and his eyes slightly glaze over. His eyes shutter closed for a moment as he falls completely still.
The next thing he knows he's in one of Doc's friends' labs.
"Mumbo?" Doc asks, "You ok there?"
"What happened?" Mumbo shudders.
Doc winces, "someone said something that activated your coding and... you went full robot."
"How long?"
"Four days," Doc winces, "We tried everything, but I think you just needed time to come back."
"I don't remember any of that..." Mumbo gasps, "What happened?"
________
Mumbo stands completely frozen in place.
"Mumbo?" Doc asks looking at the robot, "Mumbo what's wrong."
Turning to look at Doc, Mumbo straightens up and looks at Doc.
"Oh... Mumbo follow me."
The robot turns and walks after Doc.
"Mumbo, talk to me, what's going on?"
"What would you like to talk about?" Mumbo asks slowly.
Doc sighs, "I'm sorry," he reaches towards the back of Mumbo's neck and flips the switch to turn him off.
Carefully Doc pulls his torch out and replaces it with a new one, Mumbo's turned back on.
"Hello, DocM77."
"That didn't work..." Doc sighs, "MumboJumbo, full reboot."
"That will take three days, are you sure?"
"Yes, reboot."
Mumbo falls limp and a light wiring fills the borrowed lab.
________
"Oh, well, that's not horrible..." Mumbo sighs.
Doc shrugs, "We should try to make sure this doesn't happen again."
"Make some sort of fail safe?"
"Yeah... not sure how we could do that."
"Well, we have the time in between seasons," Mumbo grins.
