...Eventually, after a couple hours of searching and Dr. Chambers being repeatedly miffed at Kay's 'suboptimal' walking speed (though never hurting her physically, as he seems to understand that would only drive her 'efficiency' down further), Dr. Chambers and Kay locate a bunker that, after a bit of exploring, Dr. Chambers concludes has enough food to sustain him for at least a few months, working power so Kay can recharge, water purifiers to take care of Dr. Chambers' hydration needs, sleeping quarter that are at least passable, and perhaps most importantly, a lab space so Dr. Chambers can continue his work, whatever that was...

Dr. Chambers; "You should recharge, Assistant Kay... that limp won't repair itself without proper power."

A human arrives on Pandora... seemingly wearing a hazmat suit. He gets up from the snow where he fell through the portal... his posture upright, his gaze analytical. In a cold tone, he says...

Dr. Chambers; "...What is this? I'm transported from one frozen hellscape to another... no, there's no time for complaining, I must find means of survival here."

With that, he begins to search the ruined city.

...Oh, boy, I sure hope nothing bad happens to her!

Alice; "...I told'ja hon, I've got no clue what you're talkin' about, these are fer AFTER dinner..."

Ember; narrows eyes "...I'm not stupid, mom..."

Sam is still trapped... he's been in this simulation for a couple of months now. It's... not unpleasant, though starting to get boring... when suddenly, he lurches back to his physical body. Charcoal is in front of him, sitting on a chair with a slight smile on her face.

Solarflare proceeds through the bunker towards a spot that Lizzy likes to hang out.

You see what looks like a Worker Drone body, but without any clothes or hair. The screen seems to have half of a white Solver symbol on one side, whereas the other side seems to be a black Solver symbol with the background being white. It has this strange black and white paint on its torso and some of its limbs that seems to constantly shift and flow like it's alive... and it's got a wide fanged grin similar to that of a mentally unstable Solver or Disassembly drone.

. . .

...Also it has a cat-ear headband... half of it is white, half of it is black, and the little triangles in each ear are the opposite color. It seems to just be vibing.

Your character sees an orange, shorter-than-average Disassembly Drone who seems to be using spray-paint on the wall of an abandoned building... she seems to be under the instruction of an interesting individual... they look like a Worker Drone body, but without any clothes or hair. The screen seems to have half of a white Solver symbol on one side, whereas the other side seems to be a black Solver symbol with the background being white. It has this strange black and white paint on its torso and some of its limbs that seems to constantly shift and flow like it's alive... and it's got a wide fanged grin similar to that of a mentally unstable Solver or Disassembly drone. The grin seems to be... somewhat genuine, as they occasionally stop the orange Disassembly Drone to correct how she's holding the paint can or give them some sort of advice or lessons verbally.

How does your character react?

...Spades, while looking for a certain someone, hears the sound of screams in the distance... naturally, he goes to investigate.

...Once again... there's a knock at the door, within five minutes of being on time.

...Charcoal had finally finished modifying her Disassembly frame to be bigger and stronger than it had been previously (going from 5 and a half or 6 feet tall to around 9 feet tall and increasing everything else to scale)... she quickly saved her new regeneration template, so that if something went wrong, her work wouldn't go to waste. Once she had finished this, she got to work on the modifications that would push her further than she'd ever gone...

...First was the addition to her tail... she'd finally finished her version of the Core Override, a digital weapon capable of wiping and overriding a drone's core that humans from her universe used, and the first new one she attached to a new, second tail along with her original Disassembly nanite tail... she finished by also attaching a third one that ended in a small circular saw for cutting through obstacles, metal, or flesh.

...Next was the Black ICE (Intrusion Countermeasure Electronics) systems... powerful anti-hacking components that could block hacking attempts and execute aggressive counter-hacks without her even needing to consciously intervene. These were relatively easy to install, as she could simply take out her old, more limited anti-Callback.Ping ICE system and replace it with the Black ICE... though keeping her frame open like this put her in constant pain, and she struggled through it without pain suppression on account of having to do it on her own.

...Now came a REALLY big component that would cause much pain to install... a tiny nuclear fission reactor. Making it this small would have been impossible without the aid of a Solver, but Charcoal had managed it... it would enhance her already existing capabilities GREATLY when active, though she'd need fissile material to power it. She tried to hold her mouth shut, but couldn't repress a few muffled screams of agony during the most painful parts...

...With that INCREDIBLY dangerous and painful part done, she moved onto one last aspect... integrating wires into her frame that would be able to extend out from her back. She'd likely be able to lift herself up or pick up objects with them, though other than that, their purpose was somewhat unclear... but given how closely they seemed to be integrated with her Solver, it's likely they're quite a bit more than meets the eye.

...And then... Charcoal, N19H7W1N9, the Revolution, rose from the place of her self-reconstruction, finally satisfied with her work.

...Spades approaches T's workshop... he gently knocks on the door, if there is one, otherwise he looks in through the doorway.

Alice approaches Nat, fidgeting a little bit.

A purple rabbit in a striped shirt with long hair and a bow-tie on one ear arrives on Pandora with a cartoon 'boing' sound... she sits up, and rubs her bleary eyes as she looks around...

TF Jax; "...Huh... usually Caine gives a bit more warning before sending us on adventures... this one looks nice, though, a lot like that one snowy mountain adventure but with a more post-apocalyptic vibe... hopefully that means there's more violence in this one, that one was... relaxing, but so peaceful it was a bit boring." She giggles, then notices she's on her own... "...I guess I should find the others... or Caine... or anyone, I really don't like how quiet it is with just me TwT"

Spades walks to Abby's warehouse, and knocks on the door...

Nick and Alice are cuddling when they get an expected knock on the door.

An invisible core with metallic "armor" scuttles across the ground... her ability keeping her cloaked as she darts between trees and buildings, never moving quickly enough to make a sound and never staying in one place for too long... eventually, she'd spot something.
