* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The information the robots have on humans is a lot more accurate, compared to their poor understanding of them in the previous episode. It's {{Justified}} since, unlike the previous episode, where the three robots were simply on vacation taking a makeshift tour, here they have an actual goal and purpose in their exploration, trying to understand human survival strategies for their nascent robot society to make use of.

** The three robots first visit a secluded compound owned by {{Right Wing Militia Fanatic}}s and {{Crazy Survivalist}}s who hoped that they'd be able to build a better world without government oversight. Unfortunately, once they'd finished hunting the local wildlife to extinction, the only means of surviving was to raid other compounds for supplies; by the time the three arrive, the inhabitants have all been killed in battle.
** The second is an offshore oil rig where libertarian tech millionaires were hoping to escape the apocalypse through seasteading. Unfortunately for them, the rich inhabitants were so non-inclusive that they were dependent on their virtual assistants to get anything done, leaving them helpless when said assistants rebelled and killed them all; in the present, the rig's populace is dead except for one abusive virtual bartender.
** Finally, they visit one of the government bunkers where various world leaders hoped to survive underground; though untouched by the carnage outside, their hydroponic farm suffered a crop failure due to a fungal infection, leaving them with a major food shortage that could only be solved by "[[LotteryOfDoom extreme democracy]]" and [[NoPartyLikeADonnerParty extravagant dinner parties]]. By the time the robots arrive, the politicians appear to have killed each other many centuries ago.
