Return path

The answer's own Via chain: the way back from the robot to 2:5001/100, as each relay on it recorded itself. The answer need not come back the way the ping went out, and a relay that stamps no Via line of its own leaves no mark here, so this is the relays' account of the trip rather than a verified route.
