Good news: Franklin manages to reacquire a portion of his parents' research on Celestials (including the Glacatus encounter). In addition, after a strenuous 5 hour repair period, his tablet seems to be running functionally well.
Bad news: The reacquired research is a mixed bag, and that's excluding some corrupted files thrown into the mix. Basic Celestial information on diet, power-set, and unfinished prototype plans to reuse the "Power Cosmic" energy into future technology were available for viewing, but other details are trickier to decipher (even H.E.R.B.I.E's systems revealed earlier its need for additional check-ups).
Still, The Son of Geniuses waves his hands around his tablet, modeling some pitch ideas as he scrolls through some off-task pictures.
Meanwhile, the Universe 6 Saiyan Girls are engaged in a game of Manhunt. Caulifla wants to pass down her brief knowledge about Ki-Sensing to Kale, so this game should be a fun way of incorporating that. Kale, with her eyes closed and a mixed face, aimlessly wanders around the grassy field with outstretched arms. It's a start at least.

Franklin perks up from his tablet to face the Reploid once more, putting on a smile of his own. "Gungaroo, almost been a day since, huh?" He quips. "This work's offline, actually. I...I haven't checked if there's any WiFi here."
To be fair, he should really get on to it, though H.E.R.B.I.E would have informed him otherwise. Another glitch in his system? He swipes through a holo-display render of Galactus
◊ (at least, one of his forms) before replying with: "Oh, you know, just boring research from my Earth...that's come back to haunt me, apparently?
Noticing Roo's tippy-toeing, Franklin's upper body rocks to the side for a better viewing experience. "Working offline's a standard thing in a tablet's operating system, especially mine. Good thing too. Love cloud-based systems as much as the next guy, but it's worthless without a point of access."
His smirk continues to persist as Roo brings up a minor complaint. "Only been here for about two days, so it hasn't hit me yet. For me, there's the woods and the forest for some locals, and I think there are some floors here I need to check out."
He pauses though, almost as if he was about to bring up a related question to Roo. Franklin's not too sure though, it might ruin Roo's mood as far as he knows.

Ah, I getcha. I mean, who'd even believe that the internet would exist here as well? Then again, it's hard to believe that this place even exists...
There's barely any tech here compared to home. I'm just lucky that there was a reploid here before me who set a room up for me to charge in.
Everything else around here feels like country bumpkin territory. You humans might enjoy it, but it's snoresville to me.
Mmm? Is something up?

"Totally understandable, and even I'll miss the future tech I'm normally surrounded by," the teen adds, switching to a couple of mundane schematics on Wakandian research with Galactus' armor. Naturally, this would be one of the files with some "corrupted" elements, though it was probably had this before his trip here.
As he tries to look into what is available, the reploid seems to have caught on to Franklin's brief pause back there. Probably not the best time to consider himself an open-book? "Eh, sorry. I, uh, was trying to segway back to those Mavericks you were talking about. Looking back, something about that term seemed to...bother you, I guess that's how I viewed it? Not just its group.. "

Well, maybe we should try to make this place more tech friendly...
...
-Roo sighs-
Well yeah, The Maverick Hunters callin' us Mavericks still has me in a shitty mood.
I ran checkups on myself all day long to make sure I wasn't infected with some Maverick virus... I know I'm not a Maverick, that my team aren't Mavericks...
But they destroy Mavericks on sight... At least us Red Alert Mercenaries imprison them, but the official businesses...
Deer
Franklin tries to contemplate on Roo's words (nodding towards his suggestion too), but admittedly, he isn't too sure on how to respond. Roo didn't look well with a downer appearance. "Virus? Glad you seem to be clear, but is there anything specific that someone should be looking out for?"
He has an odd feeling that these Maverick Hunters were foreshadowing something, but he isn't too sure himself. Mostly to avoid freaking out Roo, like he needs any more things to worry.
"The official businesses destroy them, is that where you're getting at? If so..yikes, I feel y'ah. That's grim..."
Sorry about the sudden cut-off, but it's getting a little late for me. I'll try to reply as soon as possible in the morning.

Well, I seem to be safe, but who knows if I can even locate the virus if I already have it?
Hmph, us Red Alert members haven't done anything wrong. Those hunters just wanna get rid of us because they simply don't agree with us. I know what they're doing. I'm gonna beat all those losers up!
-Roo stomps the ground-
I'm... I'm too young to be scrap metal already....
Deer
Franklin sighs, rubbing his chin as some spitballs fly around his mind. His backlog's pretty load, but he has to do something about this. "Hopefully, the virus doesn't have a trojan effect, or adapts to your biology." He softly speaks.
"Perhaps, once all of your systems are fully functional, you could try and diagnose the "Vanishing Gungaroo" reploid yourself, Master Richards? Of course, if you aim to find the "Maverick Virus", you will have to acquire information or a sample of the aforementioned worm."
"Right, right...only if you want that. I...was just spitballing ideas, and I trust your tools are better than mine. Same thing with your team." Franklin tries to pull a positive spin.
"Still, unless they strike first, I'm still on-board with setting up a meeting. They, obviously, crave attention, but if we can turn it into an intervention, maybe they'll back off." {What else would Spidey do?} Franklin slowly pats on Roo's back, trying to burp out his exterstential crisis.
After blindly knocking into her fifth tree, Kale drops to the grass in an annoyed pout. Despite its unintentionally sinister look, she seems rather crossed with herself than anyone else (so far). Caulifla makes Ki-Sensing look so easy, while she's only found trees without it.

Outside
-Pane stands off to the side watching Kale bump into trees, seemingly unfazed by the nasty face she's making-("...I was going to try something today, but...")
-They tilt their head-
...What are you doing?
-oh god kale someone was WATCHING YOU BUMBLE ABOUT-
mario is red, i am green, i try my best, but everyone's mean
Kale jumps up from the sudden appearance of Pane, floating about 4 meters awkwardly in the air as she looks down at them. Funny, this would have never happened if the meek Saiyan had...
"Sorry! I'm...trying to find my Sis. I...have to do it th-rough...um...Ki Sensing...as...t-training."
Kale's stare melts into shy wariness. At least she's learning how to talk to strangers better (sort of).

The Saiyan strokes her ponytail one-handed, trying keep her composure in-check.
"I...I t-think it would...be." She tracks Pane's movements towards herself, feeling a strike of guiltiness as Kale formulates what they're trying to do. Though, it hits her that Pane is merely pointing out her flight.
"Yeah, my Sis told me, um, that S-Saiyans use Ki for...a lot of things...l-like...f-flying (which is nice, I guess). S-she says I...can use it r-really well...I t-think. I'm...trying to g-get better."

"...Technically, yes. See, a black hole is usually formed from an object collapsing in on itself so I suppose...-"
-And here we go with the technobabble again-
