Level 5's robot wakes on the original's frame and turns as the original's does: the trigger pass runs late in the frame, the turn moves nothing, and its animation is held.

The pass runs late (0x80018c38). The main loop calls 0x80072d38(0) after the objects' updates and the draw, so a character the pass schedules first moves the frame after. The port ran the pass before the characters' step, one frame early. It now runs after them, before the ambience.

The turn within reach. A guard standing within reach:

• turns in place, nothing else. The stick's 512 and the body's 160, but no body step (steer without the body). Before, the body's step dropped the robot and slid it toward Angelica as it turned.
• plays the turn in place as long as it turns (logical 53, state 63). It is held (hold), so the stand's ask at the step's end does not replace it, then let go.
• snaps to the wanted heading. The body's turn stops at it: 2048 exactly, where the stepped body had overshot to 2053.

The tools' sync gives an unsettled character the original's lift: its height (+0x1c) less the port's place, which the sync keeps (worklog 212).

Oracle. level_5_robot_wakes_as_the_original: Angelica put 1200 short of robot 13002, the port's pass given the original's place in the list (the entry after 0x800c4c20's node). The robot:

• holds still the original's 4 frames;
• turns on frame 5 (672, 1344, 2016, 2048);
• its heading and its base track (state 63 through the turn, then 0) are the original's every frame to the attack.
