As the planet's cyber network collapses, the youngest sibling, Green coaxes Blue into disabling Phantom Bomber's digital lock with lies about White buying Blue a new and improved pillow and ear plugs. Despite his and his siblings' lives all being in mortal danger, these promises are the only thing that motivate Blue to use his technological expertise to disable the lock.
