I greatly enjoyed the character and tone the story had, but I can't rightly say I can tell what happened in the story. The wording and flow when the Professor began seeing and affecting the robots' database became confusing, and the ending was confusing as well. I understood it was a trap, but then what caused the Professor to be incarcerated again? And what happened because of the trap? It feels like you needed a higher word count to really get to where you wanted the story to be, but it is a good story and I'd like to see more of the Professor in other stories! You really gave the impression of a character who's got a long history and he definitely has potential for more!
Overall good work, but the ending did confuse me- and it might just be a me thing
