There is another newcomer to the Nexus who is hanging out on a patch of grass at the park sitting cross-legged with a laptop resting in his lap. And buzzing high above Marcus is a helicopter drone, and if one were to peer over his lap, they would see he is trying to capture an image of a small nest with the camera attachment of the drone.

Sure, he figures he ought to ask questions of where he is, but Marcus isn't the freaking out sort when it comes for his love of sci-fi portals. "A'right..." He stops flying the drone, and he leaves it to whir over the nest of fire lizards. "I got a question to ask. What is your favorite hobby?" It is a simple question, and one he thinks will get many answers. He looks excited from the look on his face.

Oh boy, oh boy. He has a way back home, and he cannot wait to tell Wrench and Josh about this place. "This place is so awesome..." He squeals under his breath. "An inter-dimensional portal to another universe is my wet dream of wet dreams. Hahaha. Wrench eat your mask."

"Oh... I understand now, okay." Although it's hard for her to reconcile a world full of shady businesses and political conspiracies with that beautiful video of San Fransisco. "I hope you can bring that corruption to light."

Sarah chases after the ball, but takes her time bringing it back. Playtime at the park has managed to wear her out a little. A few more rounds of fetch and she'll be ready to go back home.

The list of video games is unfamiliar to Adia, although she recognizes ski ball and hoops. "Do you think you'll have foosball?" she asks hopefully. "I really like foosball..."

"Already tackled one big pain in the ass, but I'm sure there will be another corrupt business to take its place. Then again our little group has lots of followers." Marcus hates the idea himself, and there are other things he would rather do with his life. But he isn't about to argue about the things he's done in order to save the world. But the world is a chaotic place, and shedding the light of truth to the rest of the world. "So I can afford a little time off."

Marcus holds his hand out for Sarah, and he has enough energy to keep this up. Though it might be due to the fact, he's playing fetch with a Pokemon.

"I'll be sure to scrounge up a foosball table or two. And air hockey." Marcus scrunches his face up as he tries to think of more arcade games to add. "Maybe people can bring some games from their own worlds. Think of it as a bit of way to get to learn about each other's cultures a bit better."

"What, on social media?" She frowns thoughtfully. "That's good, right? If more people are aware of what's going on, there's more power to stop it." As far as deserving a break, Adia seems to approve. "There's only so much good you can do before you need to take a break or risk burning out. I'd spend all day helping others if I didn't remind myself to rest now and then."

Playing fetch with a pokémon does add an extra bit of flare to a game of fetch. Sarah plops the ball into Marcus's hand, eager for another round.

"Oooh, air hockey." Adia's eyes light up. "I haven't played that in ages... you should ask around and see what people play. I'll bet there's a lot of fun games out there."
