"Hmm. Sounds like we got a plan, I just hope that nothing unexpected happens until we can meet up with the others." Yang replied and readied her binoculars. "If Ruby and Weiss don't reply by the time we are done with scouting this place out a bit, we'll just move out and let them catch up to us, or the other way round. What do we have to fear, if death will not kill us like this Omni-guy said? And what he said seems pretty true so far, not to mention that he does seem able to do a lot of stuff, so why not bring back the dead, too?" She shrugged and followed Blake then walked past her whilst her friend took up seat on the bike and put on the helm. "I'm not going to give up Bumblebee no matter what stuff they may have around here, Blake! Upgrade or change it, maybe - I always wanted an Airbike, for instance. But if it can be helped I'll take it along."
As Blake sat on the bike and made it spring to life, Yang grinned happily and nodded. "There's plenty of empty space between those dots, even with Bumblebee you should take a while to get anywhere. I'll have plenty of time to explore this Dataverse a bit without losing track of you. See you around, and drive safe!" She held out her hand for a high-five before Blake could go, and after recieving it leapt back onto the tallest building around that she could find, to adjust her binoculars and begin tracking Blake. The pair she had made were high-tech selfadjusting binoculars, always keeping a sharp picture of whatever they were trained on, though of course she intended on testing out if they really worked by following her friend for a while. When she was certain that it was in order she looked ahead, towards the position Blake was headed to, and set the maximum magnification to look at whatever it was. From the looks, it was a big rip in the open with a little support built around it, likely some sort of ramp to enter or exit this rip. She presumed it to be a portal. What surprised her more was that such a thing existed and appeared to be stable, considering it had been there all along since their arrival. Portals were difficult to make and uphold, or at least they had been so in Vale. Did this place have some sort of technology that made the process easier? That was something that stirred up quite some thought... but the question was that where Blake was headed there was no life to be seen far and wide, so she ought to be alright. It would be a bit before she arrived there too, so Yang had some time to check out the Dataverse until then.
After some five minutes she checked on Blake. Nope, still going... around halfway there, it seemed. And she was doing okay, so no need to worry there. She was a big cat, she could help herself if something came up, and Bumblebee wasn't going to let her down, here or in any other world. Ooo, what was this? "PesterOmni"... this looked like some sort of chat program. "gardenGnostic", "primordialPersistence", "carcinoGeneticist"... heh, people had some odd names, but to each their own. Perhaps she should... nah, let's wait about that. Her fingers were twitching to use the chat, but for now she just left a bookmark and returned to the main page before remembering to check on Blake. Where was she now...
What? Already past the gate? Oh, no. She was just turning... Yang frowned when she saw just HOW Blake handled the bike. Dear god... well, she wasn't doing it completely wrong, but she made a mental memo (then a digital one with the "Memo" app of her Scroll) to teach Blake the proper usage of that beautiful piece of technology beneath her butt. It wasn't a bicycle after all. Aaaand she might be exaggerating a bit, she added to her own train of thought. She was, after all, rather nitpicky about technology in all its forms - partly due to her uncle Qrow's teachings, which had had a similar impact on Ruby -, whereas Blake and Weiss were more light-hearted about it, but not technophobe either.
Anycase, Blake was on her way to the next gate, let's see what that held... that one was oddly green-tinted around its edges, but she couldn't make out any details. But, nobody seemed to be around there either, so that was okay. Back to the Dataverse... Well, this was really turning out to be just like the internet back home, only with different names and setups, but the base was very much the same. People posting questions and getting answers, links to websites including an "Anti-Omni" one... huh. Well, guess it made sense that some people would hate to be around here. She would hate Omni too if he'd pulled her here without her friends. Right now she wasn't so certain anymore... they'd gone through a lot and missed each other for months, but still - this world promised adventure and stuff! she couldn't wait to get it explored.
What of her friend? Still moving? And the next gate had nothing to see either... hmm. Back to Dataverse it was. One particular link caught her attention, the announcement of a "Shardworld", but seemingly abandoned... this was quite interesting, she'd have to check it out some time. And according to one entry made by another person, there were ways to enter the Dataverse as a virtual entity, because it had a physical component behind the facade of code and pictures. But that would mean that they were only scraping the surface of this place's internet... the sheer thought of it was making her dizzy. She'd have to tell Blake about this when she came back. Not having noticed how much she spent researching that topic, she only remembered to peek at her friend when she was already arriving at the gate to Coruscant - though of course at that time Yang couldn't know where that gate led, nor the place's name - and cursed at herself for not having looked more closely. There was life, but the faunus had noticed such apparently, and was going to be on her guard. Hmm... they had weird armor, but their weapons were similar to the ones she was used to - though they mostly looked like rifles and the like, not morphable Hunter weapons or some sort of futuristic design. Then again, she couldn't find any spare magazines or the like on them, which made her wonder. Then Blake set a course for the Café again and Yang lowered the binoculars since the people at the gate were making no move to stop her.
Let's see, what else did this place hold...? She bypassed the basic encoding of the shardworld.omni site to view the source code, and indeed found several entries saved on the site, but not made public. Plans, it seemed... large-scale constructions, mechanics, ideas... this was amazing. She whistled between her teeth. This definitely was something she would have to convince team RWBY to check out. It sounded like some sort of enormous game, or blueprints for it anyway, like some sort of huge virtual playground! Ohh boy, she HAD to give that a check. She pulled out everything she could and loaded it onto the Scroll's save-card just as Blake returned. Yang came back down from the building and walked her way to join her, though she remained silent to listen to her report.
"We got the part about eight gates... Coruscant doesn't ring a bell, but Camelot? Wasn't that this place in, uh... some book where this big king lived? Was it the one that slew a beast with regrowing heads? No, wait, that was someone else... well, you're the specialist. Think it could be the same thing?" She asked, crossing her arms. "But outside of that... nope. We can set up shop here and wait for a while longer, but if we move out I want to do it together this time. Separating ourselves... just doesn't feel right to me at this point. Not after having been separated from each other for months. And we could try to track Weiss and Ruby, I mean... we know their habits somewhat, right? Maybe we can guess which way they've been going, if they keep not replying. Or we ask around for 'em, they do stick out somewhat after all."
As Blake sat on the bike and made it spring to life, Yang grinned happily and nodded. "There's plenty of empty space between those dots, even with Bumblebee you should take a while to get anywhere.
