Looking back at the Servbot following him, he guessed whatever this number was, he was likely either in charge or hoping to be. Acting like Tron, or something close seemed to be the way to act like it.

Since Volnutt has never interacted with all 40 Servebots, the strange attitude of one of them is written off as the way that one normally acts.

"Eh... Well, glad I could help, guys. I'm gonna go outside and check the perimeter now, see ya!"

Definitely not sticking around to see what else those -

while the other one looked shocked.
“WHAT?! No! … Wait, he didn’t name himself, maybe he misheard it too!”

The correct Servbot stares at the one in denial.
“No it’s Volnutt like Miss Tron said!”
One can only imagine how Tron reacts to this argument.

It was hard to resist looking back at the servbot following him for confirmation that this was actually happening. This was the silliest argument he had ever heard.

"Uh... It is actually Volnutt, sorry to break the bad news. Or the good news? Why are you arguing about this, anyway?"

Tron Bonne @heroicmisadventure.bsky.social · 26d

The two Servbots snaps their heads in his direction.
One Servbot spoke up quickly.
“YOU. Please tell him your name is Walnut, he thinks it’s Volnutt!”

“IT IS VOLNUTT! Why would he be called Walnut?!”
The other retorts.

“Because Volnutt sounds like a silly name!”

Why are these little guys so—

Honestly, it wasn't too surprising that he was being followed. This was a new situation for all of them, so he pretended not to notice his tail.

He decided to go and see what was going on between the two arguing, maybe he could help.

"Hey, you two okay over here?"

𝐑α𐓣𝗄 𝐒 𝐃𝗂𝗀𝗀𝖾𝗋! @purifyinglegend.bsky.social · 25d

"Hm. Well, I suppose I could take you on a dig of some low class ruins. That should be safe enough, with me as an escort. We'd run into some reaverbots and some refractor shards, at the very least!"

He wasn't sure on the how of it, but that wouldn't stop him from trying to get her into some ruins.

Considering he was at the main base, it wouldn’t be too hard to spot some.
There were some actually working, some goofing around in the sand, two that seemed to be having an argument about something and then there was the one that was doing a poor job at stealthily following Trigger.

There was always something so endearing about the little bots that made him chuckle as #2 ran off. He was as happy as they were that they weren't fighting anymore.

Hopping back to his feet, he wandered off to try and find more of the Servbots, if only to make sure they weren't getting into trouble.
