Wheeler sneaks into Dr. Blight's lab, but is spotted by the Dr.'s AI computer, "MAL." Linka sneaks in and tells Wheeler to keep MAL distracted while she rewires MAL's hardware. After MAL's hardware is rewired, he is revealed to be a nerdy man who likes games. This, according to Linka, was his original programming before Dr. Blight re-programmed him for evil.
