		+	The Spinach Inquisition makes a hasty exit from the power core chamber, not knowing how long until the Grinstar explodes.

		+	In the center of the chamber, Mr. Happy had created a strange purple cloud. He stood in the center of it with the Stellar Degenerator and appeared to have been injecting his own energy into the core to expedite its charging. Around the edge of the room is a conveyor belt with a huge number of inactive Mr. Happy bodies.
		+
		+	As the Spinach Inquisition and Doctor Legehirn enter, Mr. Happy sadly reminceses about our time as his favorite employees. He then becomes agitated, promising to disintegrate the Spinach Inquisition, and slams a security door closed, blocking the Inquisition's retreat. Mr. Happy swaps to one of the other bodies, and informs the Inquisition that he has lived on Golarion and it is time for him to forge his empire.
		+
		+	Volkas gets the party started off on the right foot by hurling grenades at the inactive bodies on the conveyor belt. H4NZ hacks Lucille and disables her comm systems to stop her from summoning HappyBot reinforcements. Popo is able to determine that the purple haze is extremely radioactive and should not be entered.
		+
		+	Mr. Happy is able to control several bodies at once, but only one Mr. Happy body has a blue aura. The blue aura appears to be his "primary" body at that moment, and it has a shield that deflects energy weapons. Mr. Happy is able to move his aura to other bodies.
		+
		+	Scooter joins the battle a bit late. He charges Mr. Happy with the teleportato. As Scooter enters the purple haze, he lets out his battle cry and is instantly disintegrated by the radiation. His ashes are obliterated by the high energy before they hit the deck. The teleportato, previously thought destroyed, re-appears amidst the Spinach Inquisition.
		+
		+	The Spinach Inquisition destroys body after body. Doctor Legehirn sabotages the conveyor bringing Mr. Happy bodies into the room, causing many of them to fall into the abyss around the platform. Volkas smashes Lucille's drone body, silencing her.
		+
		+	After experimenting with the purple haze, the Inquisition determines that robots can enter it without suffering any immediate harm. Volkas hands the degenerator containment case to H4NZ' drone, and while the legion of Mr. Happys are otherwise engaged, it darts into the energy cloud. After a few tries, it successfully contains the Stellar Degenerator and brings it to H4NZ.
		+
		+	Mr. Happy immediately disintegrates the drone. Mr. Unseen is nearby and seizes control of the degenerator before any Mr. Happys can grab it. Theo, who had previously made himself invisible, telepathically instructs Mr. Unseen to bring the degenerator to him, and it disappears from sight.
		+
		+	H4NZ surrenders Saurmet's glove to Mr. Unseen, who delivers it to Theo. Theo immediately puts it on and instructs Sarumet to get to work. Theo's hand is painfully compressed as the glove adheres to the Stellar Degenerator and begins emitting green energy. Theo's invisibility cannot hide the positive energy radiating from the degenerator. Mr. Happy dives for Theo and grabs him, but Theo is able to blink behind the Spinach Inquisition's battle order.
		+
		+	As the fight rages on, the Spinach Inquisition is pushed back to the entrance of the power core. This proves advantageous: Popo is able to administer healing to everybody in reach, and the long slog to destroy the Mr. Happys continues on. Volkas, H4NZ, Junk, Popo, and Dr. Legehirn cut through a dozen more Mr. Happy bodies.
		+
		+	Junk becomes aroused by Theo's fist vibrating inside the degenerator core casing. He drops his pants and gives Mr. Happy the ultimate insult, then smacks him in the face with the [[Bronzed Dong of Dwayne (Artifact)\|bronzed dong]]. This does not do any serious damage, but does successfully distract Mr. Happy from the degenerator core long enough for Saurumet to finish his work.
		+
		+	With suddenness, a burst of hot energy emits from Theo. The Stellar Degenerator, the glove, and Theo's left hand are all gone. Mr. Happy loses his shit completely; the remaining bodies gradually crumble to the ground, and the primary Mr. Happy moves to the center of the power core chamber, screaming incoherently.
		+
		+	Dr. Legehirn advises the Spinach Inquisition that he is going to self-destruct the Grinstar. H4NZ attempts to remotely hack Mr. Happy, but is rebuffed by visions of tofinkle. Theo and Volkas hack and destroy the security doors blocking the exit. Popo grabs the teleportato, and the Spinach Inquisition makes for the ship.

 On the way to the Tofinkle Reserve, Dr. Legehirn explains that he was an academic colleague of Mr. Happy, but had a falling out. The pair engaged in intense combat, with Dr. Legehirn utilizing his robotic minions against Mr. Happy's magical unicorn-dust bazookas. After the doctor's defeat, Mr. Happy stole his robotic technology.

+Volkas carves an archaic door open with his flame doshko, revealing glass vats filled with frozen tofinkle. At the other end of the room, a computer terminal has a neon flashing sign that says 'Secret Recipe Here'. The doctor states flatly that this is a trap. From ourside of the room, H4NZ remotely accessed the terminal. It explodes, but before it is destroyed, the secret knowledge of tofinkle slams into H4NZ's mind, shattering it.

 The Spinach Inquisitors find a platform above a deep chasm. Scooter climbs across a cable to the platform, and then attempts to jump a small gap. He misjudges the distance, forcing Popo to engage her jetpack for a quick save. On the far side of the chasm, Scooter and Popo find crates filled with spare parts; Scooter fashions a pair of bridges, enabling the rest of the Inquisition is able to safely cross. Junk attempts to show off by back-flipping over the chasm and narrowly avoids falling to his death, twice.

+The door on the far side of the chasm leads to the Re-Educational Resort and Prison Pod. Inside, the Inquisitors find three chamber: NPCs, Main Characters, and Maximum Security. The screens in the room are advertising something called '[[Golariland (VR)|Golari-land]]'. Inside the NPC chamber are nine individuals. They are unresponsive, in period dress, and have wires running into the base of their skulls.

 Lucille acknowledges the destruction and routes the reserve HappyBots towards the Spinach Inquisition. As they approach, the Spinach Inquisition greets them as fellow HappyCo employees and directs them down a hallway towards the "intruders". Most of the HappyBots are fooled and continue searching; some perform a scan and engage in combat. In the course of the struggle, the Teleportato appears to be destroyed and Scooter loses it. He locates an exceptionally large rifle in a nearby crate and struggles to fire it; the Inquisition finishes off the HappyBots before Scooter is able to injure himself.
