Systems online.
They woke up. Not in a shelter but a iterator chamber? How did they get here, how was there a standing iterator, and lasty where was the iterator... They tried to walk foward.
"Oh shit-" Gears fell face first onto the ground... They looked back and saw a mechanical arm...
"What in the void- The cycle couldn’t have sent me back this far- Right?" They got up. Oh yeah they should probably turn on the gravity.
They waved their hand a holographic control panel popped up. They immediately turned on Anti-Gravity.
"Next problem where in the timeline am I..." Gears checked the date and recent logs. Right after Artificer met Pebbles... They could work with that...
Gears started working immediately on a slugcat body matching closely to their last. Next step free the experiments into appropriate sectors (Expect the ones Tamer brought, they would throw a fit...). Third step make sure to finish current experiments and free unmodified experiments, it would sadly be unwise to not finish experiments in progress due to it causing death.
"Okay now I have kinda set up a safe haven... Am I forgetting something? Oh yeah need to... Go online..." Gears stared at the communication options... They all hate them... But Moon and Pebbles need help... They could send Nixie she was always loyal...
Gears decided that was the best option and immediately pinged the citizen i.d drone.

Gears sighed scrolling through what few chats they had, it was the only thing they could do while waiting now that they wrote the pearl to Five Pebbles... Before a blue slugcat with pink almost red gills popped through a maintenance vent.
"Ah Tide you came, wonderful dear- Now I have a task if you want. If not you can always stay here." The look the slugcat gave them was... Intresting.
{Why are you being nice? Do you wanna test on me?} The slugcat signed. You know that was kinda deserved...
"No, no... I need your help delivering a pearl to a iterator called Five Pebbles. I'll have Tamer drop you off at his location."
{Fine I guess.} Gears moved over to the slugcat and handed them a pearl.
"Thank you Tide. I'll inform Tamer to prepare a vulture. You best get going for a smooth journey. Plus Tamer can be a bit of a asshole..." The slugcat nodded and set off.
Leaving Gears alone... With their thoughts... Again...
