As the Wild Cards minus Shirley returned to the physical realm, Toph found Trouble perched on the shoulder of her CVR-3 armor casually licking the top of his paw. And she saw this in less time than it had taken previously. In fact, all of you spent less time feeling that woozy dazed and confused sensation than before and were in charge of your senses in what felt like no time (all of you having chosen the same certain Knack. =) ).
There were, however, a couple of odd changes that had taken place since your departure. The first was the complete absence of Professor Stein. He was simply not here!
"Where is the professor?" Cera remarked aloud.
The second was Shirley. She was out of her CVR-3 armor in a sitting position leaned up gently against the Cyclone. The Cyclone, however, was facing you in Battloid mode, Centurion rifle in hand. It waved at you. At that moment, a telltale text came across the HUDs in your faceplate. It read, "SPACECREW SAMANTHA AND SAM REPORTING FOR DUTY. WE WILL GUARD LT. MACKENZIE IN YOUR ABSENCE." She pointed and sure enough, there was the professor's male Cyclone without him in it, in Battloid with a Centurion rifle in its hands facing the opposite direction. From underneath the shadow of Mario's Super Stealth Logan's wing, Sam waved.
Both of the Broadsword's animated crew pointed out your Rifleman Cyclones to you and, having Traversed with them, you understood them fully. However, all except Mario realized that their technopathic bond with their mecha's Core was absent, replaced by this new transaction. Mario, his new Knack learned, kept both experiences.
In moments, each of you had your RIfleman Cyclones transformed into motorcycle mode with your weapons at the ready. Your various mecha towered over you all with Outpost #5 looming outside in the Mexican sun and the under-highway seeming to beckon to you into the LED-lit underground.

I highly recommend you keep a record of the two Cores your character has Traversed with (perhaps on Mario's character sheet). As you reach higher levels in Technopathy, this will be a good habit to have that information handy instead of having to pore through our adventures to find it. =)
