[ I'm sorry, but Dimitri is not picking things like machine parts up, because they have absolutely no sense of value in his medieval mind. Gems, though! Good work, kitties. He gives one of them a slightly confused scritch behind the ear before continuing. ]
It does sound like a grave situation if we do not. We should keep an eye out for that missing child as well.
[ Since Caleb is a little wobbly, Dimitri will walk ahead in case the person(?) waiting for them is unfriendly. Or more laser robots. ]
[I was going to let you proceed peacefully and then I changed my mind. They continue down the hallway... and then they activate a trap.
Suddenly, a giant (metal) boulder comes rolling in from behind them, ready to smush them under its weight if they get caught. Run, lovebirds, run! Also, help your cats.]
[ Jan is lashing out... Dimitri is going to book it down the hall, and grab one of the cats if he needs to? At least they're getting to their destination faster...? ]
[They're getting exercise! Isn't this so much better than running laps around the gym in trial, Caleb.
Eventually, they'll reach the end of the hallway, but there's an intersecting one for them to jump into, in order to get out of the boulder's path. Once they do so, they'll see someone else in the hallway, gaping: a boy who was once a nameless NPC but has since then been upgraded to [throws dart] Yamato.]
W-What was that—!?
[Oh I almost forgot the entire part. Not far from where Yamato is standing what looks to be some kind of... portal, maybe?]
[ Yes, maybe Yamato is the one on this adventure with them. Sakyou and Molly who? Dimitri is just holding poor Silber and looking on gravely. He'll let Caleb deal with Yamato while Dimitri sideeyes this portal. Is there anything around it that can clue them in on what it is? Anything through it? He is probably more familiar with portals than computers, because magic is real. ]
[It is just an ominous blue swirling portal. Yamato is standing in front of it and immediately something that looks suspiciously like crumpled paper behind his back.]
I'm, uh, fine. [casually yeets the paper into the portal. goodbye, paper.] Nothing to see here!
[ ...He's not going to outright suspect Yamato right away. Hopefully that was just an embarrassing love letter to Taichi and not a plot-relevant report. ]
We've been tasked with finding a lost child. And looking into something called Onex, presumably.
The odds are good we're going to have to go through this portal, aren't they? It would be an objectively crazy thing to do, but it is probably the only way out.

Anyway, he's worried when he sees Yamato there, looking to see if he's injured.]
. . . Are you alright? Are you here with anyone else?

I'm, uh, fine. [casually yeets the paper into the portal. goodbye, paper.] Nothing to see here!
What are you doing here, anyway?
no subject
What did you just throw? We were brought here, same as you? Are you following some sort of strange story?

[Yamato is practically T-posing in front of the portal now.]
... Wait, did my dad send you after me? Damn it, Dad!
no subject
. . . Yes, your father sent us. What are you doing?

And what is this?

[He's going to try and walk past Caleb and Dimitri and their two cats. Just ignore the portal wow.]

What's on the other side of this?
no subject
No idea. Probably tossing them into space or something? Wherever they end up, it's nowhere here.
[And that's all that matters, apparently.]
Can we go now?
no subject
[Anyway, he's going to frisk this teen?]
no subject
[ Caleb is looting a teenager, but Dimitri is going to carefully approach the portal now. No ill effects? ]
