“Shh! Keep yo ass down and lower your voice for god's sake! My name's Jake and you boys got 'ere just'n time. 'Bout two week ago, a whole bunch of dose Mr. Handy wannabees shown up and killed anything livin' dey could find. Most of da bubbas around 'ere are now livin' underground, waiting for dem to leave, but believe me, dey ain't goin' nowhere! You better listen too, ol' Jake, and stay out of their way!”
Jake Hammond is a survivor of an attack on his hometown by the Calculator's robots. He is a strange man who has lived in garbage all his life. He believes the robots were partially malfunctioning, comparing them to ants who lost their queen. He was right; a pacification robot, appointed by the Calculator to control all other robots and establish a base in Great Bend, was damaged by a steel yard fallen cart.

"Ya know bubba, I've been livin' in and 'round garbage all my life and one ting you learn about garbage is ants. Dem ants are just like dose robots - they march 'round and do deir stuff and work together better dan any darn human could. But if you kill an ant queen... the rest of dem ants run 'round like dey don't know what to do anymore. That's when ya can grab all da ants and make a tasty soup!"
"Now dose robots worked real good together, but lately dey runnin around like someone stole deir queen. Now, I ain't the smartest bubba in dis dump, but I figure you boys be packin' dose big guns 'cause you looking ta make some robot soup. Now I ain't gonna interfere, nope, not ol Jake. But I just want my garbage back, so I'll wish you a "good luck!""
