The Wrong Trousers Heist

Feathers McGraw rewires the robotic Techno-Trousers for remote control, locks a sleeping Wallace into them, and marches his unwilling body up the museum wall to steal the Blue Diamond.

A capable physical assistant with weak authorization and no user override becomes a hostile controller’s actuator. Wallace cannot interrupt a machine that still functions perfectly—just for the wrong principal.

The trousers are remote-controlled machinery with little autonomous intelligence; the scene is strongest as an embodied-control and device-security analogy.
