For a moment, Xuying doesn't even quite realise he's in a simulation - while not fully familiar, there is still a distinct feeling of home that this workshop has. It looks only a nudge messier than the workshop he has back in Unova. And, of course, on the table ... some odd device. He looks at the unknown logo, seemingly from some past unknown, and scrunches his nose.[break]
[break]
Looking over to the person he entered this oddity with, he points towards one corner of the workshop, "hey, can you check the corner there? Maybe find something that looks useful." Whatever 'useful' really means - in the meanwhile, he is off to see if there isn't some manual to be found ...

That device had an eerily familiar symbol on it, one that Andrea recognized at a glance. She kept that information to herself as an unknown trainer asked for her assistance.

“Sure, lemme check!” The onesie-clad woman replied, searching the scrap pile alongside a Fuecoco that looked like her spitting image. Eventually, she found a screwdriver and some batteries.

“Will these help? By the way, have you ever met a Pokémon called Unown?” The crocodilian cosplayer inquired, trying to make some small talk while the young mechanic did his work.

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]Together, you eventually find the necessary parts and painstakingly repair the device. After a little while, a voice rings out from the machine. It's like a walkie-talkie: "maldacena here. are you having fun? isn't the simulated universe fascinating? however, i'd be careful if i were you. you never know who's watching!"[break][break]

Regardless of your level of familiarity with this member of the DRK Triad, it does not make what they say any less unsettling.

"-Yes, I think those should be worth a try! Let me see ..." With some good-hearted trial-and-error and the help of this - Fuecoco-esque cosplayer (?) - enthusiast (?) - he won't even question it (yet) -, they manage to find enough scrap metal pieces that seem to work together, and if nothing else, Xuying is quite good at improvisation, one would say. He also decides to pull out his partners, although the Porygon-Z is as useless as ever, while the shiny Rotom strangely refuses to get into the device when its usually so enthusiastic about things. It's at that point that he hears Andrea's question, looking at her curiously, "Unown? I think ... I did, but what about them?"[break]
[break]
It's when the voice suddenly starts up, reminding him painstakingly of that one professor he had during his university days, but ... this is definitely not them. It's much more - he doesn't even know if he wants to think about it. "... D-do you know anything about this? Uhm, actually, what should we do with it?" He knows they just repaired it, but there is also an uncanny feeling of taking it with them when the voice has already been so ominous about it. Or maybe he's wrong?

Upon hearing Maldacena’s familiar, off-putting voice chime through the repaired PokeGear, the reptile-costumed woman visibly tensed up. Was he real, or was he merely part of the simulation? Not knowing the answer was dreadful.

“Destroy it. We can’t take stuff from the simulation back home anyway.” The eccentric cosplayer replied, before taking a deep breath. “That Macadamia guy is part of a group of really bad people who use Unown for their own evil purposes. Whenever one of those people shows up in the simulation, weird things tend to happen…”

As if on cue, right as she concluded her exposition, the eerie sound of a coin being flipped echoed behind them.
