"T-The station is being attacked b-by Hell itself. Metaphorically, I-I guess." He replied as he corrected his glasses. "Let me try to explain. We contacted you all for an experiment with VR that we w-were going to sell on my world. Y-you were promised anything that you want...w-well almost everything. We're n-not miracle workers after all."
He tapped on the pad to show a diagnostic check. "When you were sent in another group in our science department was experimenting with black hole t-travel. T-that caused a rift in space time and unleashed hell on us j-just as we started our experiment here. Clearly there was a shock in the system that affected y-your short term memory and the scenario that was created for you to test. A-and when you've been in there most of the station has been overrun by m-monsters. I...I am one of the last humans left on the station, not counting you all o-of course."

"Alright, come on then." Shery lead them (and anyone else of the forest group that had arrived) back to the rest of the group who then once they had re-grouped headed back down to the station.
The area hadn't changed any since their last visit but Sherry had been right about there having been a larger tunnel that seemed to be leading some place. "I think we should re-group here and try to figure out what's going on. Anyone agree with me?"

Queen folded her arms across her chest and nodded at Joker and whispered in reply, "If he's been here all this time then, well, yes." While this man knew more than they did, he honestly seemed a bit confused as to what was going on himself. Still, maybe they could get a few questions answered by talking to him some more. "To be honest, I had deja vu and thought I had woken up in Okumura's Palace," Queen admitted when Joker would talk about the space spa. She elbowed him afterwards. "Don't ask questions like that. I don't even want to imagine how this could get any worse."
She glanced to the frantic man again, listening to his story. "I appreciate you explaining this. It's okay, sir, just calm down." Makoto placed a hand thoughtfully against her chin. "This is... completely crazy. If there are monsters here and the others are still asleep in pods, shouldn't we wake them up and try to find a way to evacuate? In any case, since the three of us have woken up, if there is anything we can do to help you here we may as well try."

"Huh. I guess that is how it could get worse."
Joker rubbed the spot in his side that Queen had elbowed, hand then casually slipping into his jacket to find his weapons. Soon, Paradise Lost was being flipped in his hand, the thief nodded along with his lover with a smile, "Reminds me almost of that strange shooter from America, Doom. Demons running about, causing mayhem in a research facility... Thankfully, if need be, I have a feeling we can finally fight these freaks well enough," A cocky smirk came to grace his lips as he felt the familiar tug of his old companion in his mind, the gentleman thief who granted him all the disguises he could ever need. Hopefully, Makoto would likewise be able to join the fray as well, "I mean, we did overthrow the warden of mankind, so what could a few simple demons do to us?"
Ah, right, the strange little creature who had protected Makoto and gave its life for her. Strange how the little thing could speak, but not as if Joker could say it was silly. He lived with a talking cat who was once his mentor, so why judge? "Simple enough," The teen shot Kuro a charming smile, hoping to keep the creature calm as they planned, "Stay behind Queen and myself, and we will guard you. As a group, we must simply find the means to free our companions from the bonds of those pods and fight through the demons to reach whatever escape vessels might still remain."

So it was a simulation. At first, Kuro was sad. He just wanted to disappear. But then why did he try to save Queen and Ethan? Kuro didn't understand. However, the more greater question was: what convinced Kuro to join the simulation program?
But that didn't matter for now. For now the station was seemingly under attack if the man was telling the truth.
"Yyyou..." Kuro tried to speak. "How to escape?"
