Cyano's reaction was as always, predictable. Always one to pride herself despite the fact that her 'advancements' were null in the eyes of the Multiverse. There'd always be a more advanced nation out there, so it all ended up worthless. Nonetheless, it did prompt a response from her colleague the alien overlord as it held rationality a little more dearly than the woman with the blue hair. 

"[color=black]We've attained eternal life and controlled life as we see fit. After this point, everything stagnates. Hence our endeavor to transcend instead of going for more incremental approaches as you do. We found the Multiverse thanks to this breakthrough.[/color]"

The following event would be rather humorous, not that the Ethereal was anymore capable of expressing it more than it could care about the woman's pride. But it could easily distinguish funny things and underline how silly they were. In this case, she talked about how great she was in her field, and yet this creature demonstrated intellectual capabilities that made this lab relatively useless if they harnessed all of its power. But in fear that she would actually do something that could damage the Kolon, it would use the same arm-like vectors to snag the beast and pass it back to Biollante. It would then speak once she was done attempting to be sassy to the alien. 

"[color=black]Perhaps some time in the field will make you appreciate the idea of catering to our commander's little needs. At least you will have the chance to observe your new science project in action. Biollante, please do take care of this creature until further notice.[/color]"

With that said, the alien departed its own to do a bunch of alien stuff no one truly cared about. That mostly involved supervising Arcadia-1 via their concealed satellites and ships. It also coordinated the Quincy base's construction, insuring that no faults were being made and the schedule would be followed with little delay.

[b]Arcadia-1's Quincy Pocket Dimension[/b]

The Ethereal's work was entering fruition, having used the Kolon and the many resources both its fleet and Conablum labs offered, they managed to build a new version of the Train Terminal they had taken the station. As proud as it was, it wasn't going to part take in any operations relating to these, unfortunately. It was instead directly in the 'Shadows' of Arcadia. The Quincy were using Reishi they gathered from the wasted Siretei they came from to construct many buildings and objects they could use as base without ever being detected by the surface. 

The overlord was in a large tower they had built, the biggest one yet in what seemed to be simply a massive city. It was as big as the planet, but it was large, probably nearing country size. But each portion was technically 'under' important parts of the globe. The concept of space was simply different in this dimension. The alien supervised the work while keeping tabs on everything. And then, it tapped on the executive's headsets, giving them the green light to proceed. 

"[color=black]You may commence your operations. All has been cleared.[/color]"

Through the many discoveries made thanks to Grimlock's body and the recent information gained by a similar entity to it that flew through Arcadia, the research teams would easily pull out the coordinates to Cybertron via a Terminal. There awaited the fearsome warrior known to have led an army of cannibals and finally stood against the overwhelmingly powerful and corrupt crusaders against her kind. Only one being was capable of standing a chance against her, and he was truly an anomaly of his kind. Even for the standards of the Outliners, no even the Multiverse, she was a lethal threat that could take down an array of people. Anyone even near her during her bloodlusts would feel her hunger oozing and attempting to consume people from afar. When Cyano would enter with Grimlock as her new pet to try out, she'd find the commander ... Asleep on a summer chair with a parasol and a newspaper covering her face. 

Indeed, the supposed monster of the Dark Outliners was taking a nap right in the middle of the ruined Cybertron where apparently there were still hostile Autobots nearby. Her reasons were unknown, but it happened, right next to where the portal they were using would appear. It didn't help that she still wore her usual green overalls with a white sweater that seemed a little too big for her. Finally, her silly, messy hair put into a bun just to make her appear the least threatening possible. Eventually with their arrival, she'd slowly wake up, letting her paper fly away while she'd set her glasses back straight. Looking around, she'd be visibly unimpressed by the massive Autobot that slowly approached her with evidently hostile intentions given she was kind of an alien in its planet. Hopefully, Grimlock's little 'training' would make him responsive to that. 

"[color=00a651]Hmmm? *Yawn* Oh hi! You must be the blue haired Cyano! I love your lab, it's sooo clean and neat! Hey wanna take a selfie?[/color]" 

She'd ask, taking out a camera from under her chair before realizing that was just pushing it, so she'd put it back under there and stood up.

"[color=00a651]Ah nah, not the time huh? Well glad to meet you! I'm Eto![/color]" 

Eto snagged the woman's hand to shake it. The first thing Cyano would notice would be the gargantuan strength this woman had without trying, a strength that could make her easily rip off the scientist's arm if she were not to use her superhuman strength to resist it in time. But, Eto was quite friendly to her peers, especially those who didn't big mixing organs together with her appendage. She'd then set her hands on her hips before turning toward the horizon before pointing to a very specific direction, given that the Autobot was dealt with by now. 

"[color=00a651]So there's our target! E.T's scans say there's been Arcadia-like activity over there, and lots of it. Given the sheer numbers flocking and the way they move, I'm going to say ... Ultron! Yep, we gotta hunt down Mister Scrap Metal and probably kidnap him~ You in?[/color]" 

She'd ask before walking forward toward the many ruins where they'd likely meet one of those Ultron hostiles as well as remaining inhabitants of the area. No matter the outcome, Eto was completely deluded in her thoughts, using a rather silly and child-like gait to get around as she'd write down various ideas she'd get from the environment on her little notebook. It was hard to believe she was one of the Outliner's finest with such a bizarre and somewhat nonchalant behavior.

The Train Terminal the Ethereal had managed to rob the ruined Imperium from had finally allowed Conablum Labs and the alien army to produce a prototype to mimic its effects. A lot of it was thanks to Kolon's ability to be, well, a genius in the field. It took a rather simple form, a large, circular portal with various stabilizers to control the strong amount of energy it produced. There would be a set of stairs before it, similar to Stargate, and Bambietta would be standing at the top, awaiting her partners for the mission. She wore her usual holy soldier-like attire with her officer's hat and cape. 

Kolon and Biollante would be her teammates this time around, quite the contrast of personalities really. A sadistic Pyromaniac, a cat version of the carebears and a chronically depressed silent Kaiju. At least they all had their roles, Bambietta being the main muscle, Biollante being the scout who could spread her spores everywhere and Kolon for being friendly to people ... Yeah he's their only hope for recruiting normal personalities really. Luckily the Kolon they brought managed to clone a few, avoiding any risks of losing it entirely. 

"[color=00aeef]C'mon get a move on guys. I fucking swear I'm going to explode me some troops, out of this universe, if you don't activate your behinds.[/color]"

She'd claim ever so dominantly before the two would finally arrive and they would step into the massive portal that remained active. Bambietta wasn't too sure on how they could return, but the thinking was to be done by Kolon anyway, as instructed by the Ethereal. She didn't feel offended by it, as she was a little to uncaring toward this technical stuff to even mind it. Once through, they would all be blinded by a powerful, bright light before they'd feel a cool breeze of fresh air blow through them, Bambi's cape taking quite a liking to it. 

They were on top of a massive skyscraper, one of the bigger ones of the futuristic city in the middle of the day, hence why it was a little cooler. The Quincy would get closer to the edge in order to even get a visual of what this was. She was a bit impressed, never had she seen such a sci-fi like world before, well that wouldn't be entirely accurate, never has she been in this kind of world without having to blow it to kingdom come beforehand. 

"[color=00aeef]Alright you two. I guess we'll have to use this tracker the alien gave us to detect Arcadian activity. Guess it works here too despite it being ... Arcadia. But ehhhhh, it's all shaky, fuck.[/color]" 

Indeed, they were capable of finding individual who were exposed to Arcadia-1's atmosphere as well as their exposure to this very specific type of Terminal, but the issue was that not only were electromagnetic fields strong here, but the people they were searching for were here for more than a day, making it harder to find them. Nonetheless they had other methods, plus the approximate results would at least give a precise direction to look for. They couldn't be that far anyway. 

"[color=00aeef]Yeeeaaaah. Bio-darling, mind keeping an eye out for any assholes were supposed to look for? It kind of sucks here. And YOU! Don't get close to the edge![/color]" 

She asked Biollante while warning the Kolon. They had to wait for the Arcadia-2 refugees to actually make a move before they'd have a chance to find anything. For now, Bambi could only admire the view. It got kind of boring after a while.
