In Act 1, we see Soldano's place semi-ruined,with the gantry twisted and a big hole in the ground. What was up with that?
And did Dorothy 1 just walk downtown to attack the mint, or did she use the underground somehow? In Act 2, at least, we see smoke pouring out of a hole in the dome.
And what happened in Act 2? Was the hulk of Dorothy 1 still lying where she had fallen, downtown, ready for Beck to wire R. Dorothy into her? Or did he find her at the Megadeus dump?
There's a lot about those episodes that was never explained.

Beck's a genius (at least in his own mind) but he's no megadeus pilot. The damage in Soldano's factory was probably caused by Beck's first attempts at controlling Dorothy I.
I figure Beck just walked Dorothy I straight to the Mint. He didn't think anyone or anything could stop him.
The Military Police likely towed the damaged Dorothy I to a salvage yard. It was evidence in an attempted heist and damage to Paradigm City.

Its the first two episodes, we're really not supposed to be overanalyzing it like this but....
Lets assume Dorothy 1 walked through the front door:
And that let say the Paradigm Corp. was still in the process of cleaning up and moving the megadeus when beck powered it up again.
Make up your own scenario. He snuck in, he used his thugs to threaten city workers, anything.

It is possible he used the Underground to sneak Dorothy One around, considering the gaping hole in the ground in Soldano's factory. Perhaps he had it sneak up on the main island of Paradigm underground and had it break through the dome with its drillls to enter West Dome #5 and march straight to the Mint (the Federal Reserve Bank at NYC? It's an idea I came up with at the Cookout Saturday, at the least)).
As for re-activating Dotty, I figure it had been removed from where Big O had left its smoldering corpse, as the streets around the Mint seemed cleared up by the time it came back that night. They had probably removed it to a temporary storage location until Paradigm Group techs could get a look at it (something they presumably did after it was taken out the second time).

Hmmm interesting interesting thoughts ACT, well I would guess that knowing Beck he wouldn't leave something that valuable like a Megaduses lying out in the open I mean even in a later epsoide when Roger went back down to see the archtype it too was gone so chances are that the tunnels are being used by a variety of people hoping to keep things top secert.
As for how Dorothy 1 came to be well thats another interesting idea what I guess is that Soldono and Waynewright created both Dorothy 1 and Dorothy and had them hidden away for later uses and well knowing Beck he sniffed it out and made them aone of his famous offeres that you can't refuse and tus go tthe Megaduses.
Now as to the house being trashed while I guess that Beck and his crew went through the place gathering as much details as possible IE blue prints maps instructions and so on or later poped up in the Megaduse there somehow.
Thats waht I would have to say otherwise its all opened to our intereptations. ^_^"
