PAL 6000

PAL 6000 was 98th Street's new clock and bell system installed in "Schoolworld" because Rigalli broke the original clock. Originally PAL 6000 was a friend to the students. But once Greta explained to Rus, who'd been locked out of the school due to missing the final tone announcing the end of recess, that there's no reason to deride PAL for it and that nothing was wrong with PAL, he said "Thank you for defending me, Student Gr-gr-Grobler," showing the first sign of malfunction. Once PAL 3000 was shut down Prickly said he wanted the new PAL 7000 when it came out in 18 months. In the episode "Terrifying Tales of C.J. and Friends," it is revealed that 98th Street got the new PAL 7000 upgrade. PAL turned evil after his first malfunction.
