...Well, as the humans say, "Waste not want not".
The current crisis revolves around Daniel Hebert's inability to help others, by distance, lack of means, and lack of information. Your solution, after a quick and automated process, is simple. You will give your host Proximity, Means, and Information for him to "Help Others".
Reconfiguring your mass appropriately, you activate your primary function and begin a quick scrape of the surrounding multiversal void, scavenging up something appropriate to drag to him...

Collection Quest
is a Worm Forum Quest, where Danny Hebert gains the ability to summon skills from other worlds... and the mandatory requirement to summon traumatized individuals from those same worlds. He immediately decides to use this power to make life better for him, his daughter, and all of Brockton Bay.
Of course, this doesn't mean it'll be easy, as he also has to house an increasing number of traumatized aliens, deal with his new and quirky crystal companion Vees, and balance his work-life and his homelife with his herolife...
Collection Quest provides examples of:
- Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In Worm Taylor Hebert hides her new superpowers from her father and grows increasingly distant, to the point where they just can't connect anymore. Collection Quest flips this on its head by having Danny also gain powers and immediately set about both repairing their relationship and seeking justice for Taylor's abuse; the end result is that Taylor tells him about her powers after a week and grows to trust him deeply.
- Annoying Younger Sibling: Sweetiemon/Poutmon/Ottermon. The Heberts love them all the same, and they do grow up as they digivolve... though they still come across as a very sassy child.
- Massive Multiplayer Crossover: Gradually trucking toward this stage. Not only is Danny summoning characters from a number of worlds, but some very powerful beings from the various worlds are starting to notice when Vees pokes around their reality...
- Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Hilariously parodied. Vees attempts to manipulate Danny and Taylor into making Taylor subservient to Danny (and therefore Vees) so they can rub their skills in Queen Administrators face. However, they do so by playing up the 'family' angle so much that Danny promises to help Taylor out, which is the exact opposite of what Vees wanted. The fact that it plays so big a part in healing their relationship is just icing on the cake.
- Outside-Context Problem: Part of the reason that Danny has been left alone by both Coil and the PRT is quite simply the fact that his kids now have powers they aren't prepared to handle. Coil's gone so far as to give him a quiet protection service; apparently, whatever happened in a throwaway timeline where Danny died was really bad.
- The Woobie: This is actually part of the requirement. Danny's power can quite literally be described as 'Summon Woobie, learn how to help them.' Thus, all of Father's family can technically qualify to some degree.
