Wrong Way Up - The Finale

Episode 23 of is the last episode of Wrong Way Up. The landtrain is parked in the polar region where they calmly help Capac fix up his plane while chatting about suit voice mods. They start driving north again and the Bots go on high alert. Another Magpie approaches and they look for a parking spot. The no-turret-ai mod has not loaded so they need to switch every turret to manual to stick to their own rules. Texfire takes out the Magpie with surprise shots from a manual turret and it crashes in front of the tractor. 
Capac launches his plane while Splitsie explains that nothing is Capac-proof. Splitsie parks the landtrain and launches in the Neon Pumpkin with Tex as gunner, DE follows in the Panther, and w4sted is controlling a drone; they are engaging several incoming Bot planes in a dogfight. 
(0:30) Despite Capac's severe connection problems and both DE and Splitsie having to return to base to fix plane damage, they take out the Bots one by one. DE manages to land despite frustrating glitches and low sim speed. Splitsie and Tex make a barrel roll after the last Bot plane is downed. Capac's crashlanded plane intersects with the ground and a Bot plane intersects with Capac's plane; Splitsie admin-deletes a lot of such wrecks and sim speed recovers. 
Capac notices that his health is zero, he has become Schrödinger's Catpac! Since this was a physics intensive battle, Splitsie restarts the server to fix all the glitches. Capac's health is now -1... Splitsie is the only one who can't see Capac so he detects his presence by shooting until he sees hitmarkers. 
(1:00) After reconnecting, Splitsie can see Capac again and they are having a slapstick fight. Capac has become a god, the Kwisatz CaparacDune reference to Kwisatz Haderakh.! Capac would take on all the Bots by himself, if only his jetpack was also immortal. The Bots tell Capac to execute order 66. Splitsie tries unsuccessfully to fix Capac's character while W4sted shows off his James Bond style pause screen. Now there's two Capacs, both invulnerable... As last resort, Capac tries changing his spacesuitMany of the protagonists got custom caracter models from Chipstix and by changing suits they are testing whether the bug is perhaps tied to this mod. and emerges from the medbay first as an orange android and then as an orange servitor drone! Splitsie forbids it. Back in a non-modded player suit, the immortality has faded and we get another slapsticky chase scene. With this riddle solved, they continue driving north. 
(1:30) The Bots are shouting extermination-related phrases in in-game chat. The Jalopy makes a detour to find a good way down into the snowy plains ahead. Splitsie reveals they have traveled 400km since the start. They race across a flat snowy plain and only stop when they see gunfire and an mysterious explosion ahead. Splitsie steals ammo from a smoking crater in passing.
On the north pole they encounter a huge pyramid with radar dishes. Bots are lying and standing around the pyramid, seemingly frozen in a deadly standoff. 
They open the doors to two towers outside and find remote-control AI Cores and SteveCapac's pet cobalt rock from Light Echoes. inside, and walk Steve backWhere and when did they leave Steve behind? He was last seen in episode Starting the year with a BLAMMO!. to the landtrain. They hear seemingly random shots outside and go inside the pyramid. Walking over certain tiles on the floor in the pyramid results in a ticking noise, so they all stand on them, and the wall slowly reveals a hidden gate. 
They go down into the pyramid's dark basement and follow a mysteriously hand-dug sidetunnel where they take over a survival kit as respawn point. At the end of the rough tunnel, they find a futuristic looking door. 
As they enter the Tron style base under the pyramid, W4sted protects them with a rocket launcher... from behind... ;-) Another futuristic sidedoor reveals an inactive bot on the toiletA reference to events in episode 14 Wounded Prey.. They go deeper into the neon glow and find a small room with incoherent writing on the wall. 
(2:00) They walk on through neon hallways. When they explore a medium-sized futuristic room, Capac gets shot by a not-so-inert bot and has to walk back from the last respawn point. 
The next door leads them to maze-like neonlit tunnels. By now they are wary of the "inert" Bots and shoot them first. The maze goes up and down but Capac leadsThe pyramid was built by Capac, so he knows the way. Splitsie and W4sted with ease to the next room, a futuristic armory. They grab rifles and ammo and walk through hallways at odd angles. DE hacks another Survival Kit (offscreen?). Capac gets shot and Splitsie takes out the "inert" Bot in the next room. The creepy room is full of maps spying on their journey and a hologram of the very first Jalopy. 
Splitsie jogs to take over the next Survival Kit and steps on another floor tile that opens a hidden passage; DE almost gets crushed by the moving wall. They solve the wall puzzle and reach a long futuristic room with more Bots, followed by a long neonlit bridge over a dizzying void... 
The next maze leads them to a robot production facility. Here Capac demonstrates that he lost all ammo for his rocket launcher by shooting Splitsie... 
They explore another large room, full of cryo pods. They read the punny descriptions and recognise the names of friends and Bots. DE is concerned when the last pod is labelled Naburine! He looks deeply into the trapped person's eyes and cries out "Those who can't, teach!"Naburine is DE's wife and he uses this phrase as a test because the real Naburine would slag him for that joke.. When there's no response, he shrugs and declares her dead. Splitsie successfully uses a grinder to break a pod and they realise that some the victims can be freed! The unfrozen engineers are disoriented and ask how they got here. 
(2:30) Together with the surviving victims, they continue through hallways and find a spinning reactor core. DE pushes a button which triggers a cacophonyThe sound blocks were supposed to play cool custom sound files, but due to a mishap, all we got was loud noise. and Splitsie quickly shoots the sound blocks. They blow up the reactor and run next door to a hangar and grab two crew transporters to get everyone out of here. A rickety bridge collapses under Capac's vehicle. He warns Splitsie who heroically jumps his vehicle over the gap and picks up Capac and his passengers. 
The next hewn tunnel leads up in a spiral to an airlock where Splitsie hacks the final survival kit. They reach the surface inside an aircraft hangar and witness Bots shooting one another. Splitsie is torn between returning to the Jalopy and investigating the airplanes, until Capac finds a Neon-Borg-ified spaceship and sends the survivors there to get it flight-ready. They find a crashed plane and Captain Shack's body, and they accidentally shoot Kanajashi with a rocket a bit. They lift off in the spaceship and Splitsie opens the ramp midflight to take cinematic screenshots of explosions down on Perseii through the back window. The End.
