When Chase takes Whirl on a mission to guard an exhibit at Griffin Rock’s newest museum, a major theft convinces Chase that the former criminals, and long-time Rescue Bots foes, Evan and Myles, are back in action.
Synopsis
Whirl is enjoying her wind tunnel when Chase arrives to see if she's ready to go on a police ride-along. They head to Griffin Rock through the GroundBridge and arrive at MOFTA—the Museum of Future Tech Art—which houses tech-infused art including the "Mano e Nano", a nanotech sculpture created by Doc Greene. Chase explains it symbolizes the partnership of humans and bots. The pair have to ensure the museum is safe for the grand opening the next day, so they set about installing and testing security measures. They're just finishing as a lightning flash interrupts the power for a moment. To their horror, the "Mano e Nano" is gone, with only an unidentified substance left behind. They check the camera feeds only to find the lightning knocked those out too. Reviewing earlier footage gives them a clue: known criminals Evan and Myles were skulking around the museum earlier that day.
They find the pair conducting experiments with a new substance, though Myles insists they're going legit and were only at the MOFTA because they were mistaken when opening day was. Chase is unconvinced, and decides to go get more conclusive evidence. Whirl has other suspicions and so Chase suggests they split up and pursue their own lines of inquiry. The following night, Chase has Even and Myles meet him at MOFTA, where he reveals he knows the bank turned them down for a business loan, which gives them motive, and the substance at the crime scene resembles the substance they were experimenting on. Whirl arrives with Doc Greene who reveals that the unidentified substance is actually the "Mano e Nano" in its unbonded form. Doc Greene explains he didn't allow for the possibility of nearby lightning strikes, and Chase apologizes to Evan and Myles.
