Hmm, I can see Penelope being too helpless to leave Filip's cabinet after he disappeared, but Hugo had better survival skills and knew Astrid was still around for two days calling out to Filip and waiting for him to come out on his own. Hugo really should've known it was time to move on, at least hide in his original cubbyhole. I really thought one of them would've been curious to hang outside and witness Filip being snatched by the vacuum. It's frustrating to see Astrid fail to put anything together. Shouldn't his beeper in his pants still have a tracking function in the club if it's still in the "donations" box? There's also the system entry logging when a micro was captured in her vacuum robot or building disposal that she can access as the minister. Astrid seems as confident as she is incompetent at this point.
Author's Response:
Hugo certainly knows better than to stick around, but Penelope does not. He'd need to leave her behind as she waited for Filip, and that wasn't something he was willing to do.
With the beeper, it only sends his coordinates at the time he presses the button. So she'll have gotten a notification when he pressed it within the vacuum, but nothing after that.
As for the system logging of the building disposal and micro capture, Astrid could check it if she knew it existed, but she doesn't, at least not at this point. She's likely to continue searching for Filip and perhaps in time she might piece things together, but that's beyond the scope of this story.
