As per Penny's orders, Tina sent one of her birds to shadow after Robert as he left the city on a bus. Unbeknownst to him, however, Penny had hacked into the camera installed in his hat, and used it to see where he was headed. He ended up at a distant town hundreds of kilometers away called Bolorton. There, Penny saw him greet what seemed to be a contact of sorts at a local bar; a sleepy-looking girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"There's a change of plans. Let's go back," he informed the girl, who mumbled in return as she rubbed her eyes. "Already? And I had such a nice dream...Oh well. I'll send word that we'll be arriving."
The two of them headed out on car; Robert was driving, while the girl sat next to him, sleeping. They ended up at what looked like an empty field. However, it was there that the two Overcity Shifted, and Tina's bird was forced to turn back.

Penny's surveillance feed persisted over the dimensional hop, however, and she saw that the two ended up at a military outpost in the Overcity decorated with Wonderland's stylized heart insignia. It was manned by soldiers wearing face-concealing gas masks; their helmets and uniforms had a playing card theme to them, with clubs serving as regular troops, hearts as their officers and commanders, and diamonds as specialists such as cooks, medics and engineers. Despite this, no spades were to be seen. The two were met with salutes as they passed, confirming Penny's suspicion that Robert served as a higher-ranking member of some capacity. She saw as they passed through a portal built in the camp, and ended up in Wonderland, a whimsical and saccharine world where music played and people danced with smiles and laughter in their faces.

Penny noticed that the exact position where they ended up was at a military camp similar to the one in the Overcity, except it was even bigger, and housed various vehicles and heavy armaments, from regular jeeps and troop transports to even tanks and planes. More salutes followed as the two approached the castle sitting in the center of Wonderland, it's appearance causing Penny to be distracted by the various little things that populated the world, to the point she couldn't focus her attention on the structure itself. Fortunately, before Penny realized it, she was now looking at the courtyard of the castle, where Robert spoke to a couple of Clubs guarding the gates.
"Name: White Rabbit. Title: Royal Foreign Affairs Minister and Ambassador," he announced. The girl then spoke up: "Name: Dormouse. Title: Royal Dream Minister and Assistant to Head of R&D."

The Clubs nodded after checking on a notepad, and the two were permitted inside the castle. Penny noticed how various magical wards were turned off, their symbols flashing and fading away as they passed through the corridors. More importantly, there were also electronic devices such as surveillance cameras and motions sensors, and set to work on passing through their encryptions. To her chagrin, these were more advanced than regular encryptions in the human world, and so it would take her time. While Penny worked on hacking, she saw as the two entered the throne room, where a group of people had gathered.

The first thing Penny noticed was the smirking man who greeted them. "Well, well, well, look what the cat brought in. Or, would it be the mouse in this case? Either way, looks like you royally screwed up, Rabbit." The other people included a [url=https://i.imgur.com/6iUjHMB.png]dapper boy wearing a monocle,[/url] a [url=https://i.imgur.com/xB5UMBV.png]regal girl holding a book[/url], a [url=https://i.imgur.com/3yZwvrd.jpg]morose-looking girl with a cape and staff,[/url] and a [url=https://i.imgur.com/Ehx2a4d.jpg]monster girl[/url] sitting next to the throne. Dormouse removed her magical disguise as well, revealing her [url=https://i.imgur.com/JIB0eCm.png]mouse ears[/url].
 
Penny saw how Robert pointed at the first boy with his finger, sounding furious. "March Hare! You're the reason I failed my mission!"
The March Hare mockingly lifted his hands. "Oh? You're blaming me, now?"
"You were supposed to be scouting Penrose, not releasing monsters in there! What were you thinking? It was by pure miracle I didn't end up imprisoned or executed!"

[color=red]"It was by my decree."[/color]

The entire court, including Robert, turned silent, and turned to bow as the [url=https://i.imgur.com/RW0ZbwB.png]Queen of Hearts[/url] arrived, and slouched on her throne.

[color=red]"The March Hare was initially intended to simply infiltrate the city. That is true. However, I changed my mind."[/color]

Penny saw as the camera pointed down at the crimson rug as Robert bowed. "B-But...Why, Your Highness?"

[color=red]"Because you were going to visit at that time. I decided I didn't want to waste that opportunity, and had the Hare carry out a terror strike. As a result, we obtained valuable information on the local defenses, did we not?"[/color]

Robert lifted the hat back up, and Penny saw the bored look on the Queen's face.

"Y-Your Highness...Surely the March Hare could have carried that mission after mine-"

[color=red]"SILENCE!"[/color] The queen suddenly screamed her lungs out, causing Robert to stumble backwards.
[color=red]"That is the reason, right there,"[/color] she said, and pointed her sword at Robert; Penny saw how it glowed with powerful magic.
[color=red]"For the longest time, you have disappointed me, Rabbit. Your endeavors to convince the ignorant slaves have failed, time and again. Those fools do not listen to reason or logic; their minds and souls have been twisted by the Powers. The only thing they understand-"[/color] she stabbed her sword down, [color=red]"is force."[/color] She then lifted it back up. At this point, Penny managed to breach the encryption.
[color=red]"So, I decided to have you act your part, so that-"[/color]

"Your Highness, a moment of your time!" The boy wearing the monocle suddenly spoke.
The Queen of Hearts scoffed.
[color=red]"What is the meaning of this interruption, Mad Hatter? If you test my patience, it's off with your head."[/color] 
The Hatter tapped at his monocle. "The security system has been compromised. And the cause is..."
He circled two fingers around his monocle, and then stared right at Robert's camera. "Ah, yes...Our Rabbit has turned traitor."
Before Penny could further anchor her presence into the system, he drew a magic symbol with his fingers, and suddenly Penny's camera feed was cut off with a slight electric jolt, kicking Penny out of the system and snapping her back to reality.
