A programme to spread to other earth computers? Then the aliens will be able to control all our computer systems. They will be able to control our airlines, our power stations, our banks and cat videos and flood warning systems. It will be a digital conquest leading to digital enslavement.
Come in peace? Give compooter program to earth roomba to spread to other compooters? WHAAAT? IT’S A TRAAAP YA GULLIBLE CATS! THEY IS GONNA INFECTS ROOMBA WITH COMPOOTER VIRUS AND SPREADS IT TO ALL COMPOOTERS!
It’s ok. If they try to double cross Earth, Tortimer can work in cahoots with Destry and program the Doombas to hear “Love Shack” on repeat. Or the “rodent” Christmas song the kids were into one year!
This talk of “we come in peace” makes me think of a TV show I saw long ago. Woman and two men were investigating dodgy doings in Australia. M2 was ex-Australian SAS. At night they arrived at the gates of secret establishment. They see car coming. M2 slips away into the dark. Car stops, two guards get out and approach W and M1.M1 says “We are visitors from another planet. “. M2 sneaks up behind the guards. M1: “We have just arrived on your planet, and we come in peace.” M2 knocks them out. M1: “Except for him.”
We all know Tortimer is a good boy; however, why so many Doombas to carry the message to him? Surely, that was an overabundance of a possibly good thing.

If your program can get A.I. on Earth under control, “It’s (more than) O.K.”

Ok, now the tough question: why have they ensorcelled some of the adults and made the rest unwakeable?

I bet Burt could help Tortimer with that, too.

Meanwhile, Back on the Nile
At the Pretty Good Library
Beatrixia: So it appears the Roombas from Outer Space were good after all.
Iggy: That’s right. They were on a mission to save the world. And it looks like they succeeded. At least for now.
Bea: Wonder if they ever found a new home.
Puckmosis: Maybe one of the scrolls has the answer.
Bea: Here is one last message in code.
Iggy: I can translate:
We don’t like AI. But at least they got one thing right. They inspired the creation of Biscetti.
Enter Ora Z
Ora Z: Watch out everyone! A tomato storm is on the way!
Elvis-Anum: You mean a tornado.
Enter Pink Lupinium
Lupinium: No, she means a tomato.
Bea: Looks like there’s only one thing to do.
Puck: That’s right. Put out the sauce pans to collect the tomatoes.
Bea: Looks like we’re having Biscetti tonight.

Indeed he does! He’s proven that repeatedly in just this arc alone.
Plus he’s also a fellow Roomba, so…I’m sure that helps too, let’s be honest here. :P
