Acquiring the robots was the first phase of Operation Bit Delete.
Thrax had a group of his O.N.F. Terrorists hijack the shipping container, knowing there were robots in that container through their information resources. They knew it was a black market deal and the robots were prime materials that could be used in their operation.
The team attacked the shipping container killing the crew and stole the goods. Unknowingly the Pilot (Razz Yadinski) survived and was in critical condition. They stole the robots and headed to Brixton.
Thrax had to explain to Hamish that they had to wipe the robots, reprogram them, and then store them until the time was right.
One of the pirates (Hamish Blastworthy) had a connection to an upper echelon society person (Brook Oberhausen) who knew how to deal with under the table things like this. (she knew of “The Designer” - who would be able to wipe the robots and insert the operations data disks.)
Hamish gives Brook the data disks that had a secured lock on it, to install on the bots. The data disks are the commands for Operation Bit Delete.
Brook has her team take it to The Designer for the bots to be reprogrammed, paying a heavy price. It was a BIG favor she had to pay back for Hamish.
After programming them, the designer copies those disks, but the copies have corrupted data.
When the robots were ready, Brook had her team pick up the robots - and stashed them at a warehouse, on the 3rd level of the Village, for the ONF connection to later pick up.
And from there, they would start Operation Bit Delete.
