The enormous E.V.E. Mark II looms amid flying debris, with Redline and two men in the foreground. Sound effects: “GRRAAAAH!!!” and “BZZTT TCHK--!!” Leonard: “We can't destroy her!” Redline: “Where?” Leonard: “Inside her. Beneath the central chest plate. I intentionally designed it to be difficult to access.” A schematic labeled “E.V.E. MARK II INTERNAL SCHEMATIC” highlights a switch labeled “MANUAL TERMINATION SWITCH (BEHIND REINFORCED PLATE).” Leonard: “We need to open her chest armor and reach the switch. But we won't get a chance unless she's immobilized.” Redline: “This plating is reinforced, and she'll never stay still long enough for me to reach it. You'll have to hold her down. Both of you. Leonard, there are industrial anchor points on this rooftop, correct?” Bespectacled man: “Y-yeah! There are stabilizing cables and maintenance restraints for the exhibit systems. I can activate them from the control panel over there!” Redline: “…Alright. You get the restraints ready. Doc, the moment she's pinned, you open the chest. No hesitation.” Redline: “We do this together. And this time... ...she stays down.”
