Before anybody has a chance to respond 3 person sized tears in reality swallow the group, plunging them through a surreal tunnel of some sort that assaults all of their senses simultaneously with barely restrained chaos. Shortly before the cumulative assault becomes too much to bear the tunnel abruptly deposits the group in the guard station(I actually forget where you guys needed to go...) closing behind them before anyone could have noticed. To anyone not looking directly at their new position as they arrived the group appears to have simply materialized out of thin air.

"I think so. Uh, you probably will see stars and trippy patterns briefly while I do this. If you see a unicorn tell me at once."

She puts her hand on the back of his head, spreading her fingers gently until she finds the right connections. A warm sensation floods his mind and he loses his sense of reality, experiencing himself moving backwards through a white tunnel that soon opens out into a bright clear sky with all kinds of fantastic creatures on the planet below. Just before he hits the ground that was rushing up beneath him, his view is abruptly jolted back to the reality in front of him. Danu standing close beside him, her golden eyes shimmering slightly and that warm sensation from the start of it fading in and out as she checks her work.

"Looks like it would have cleared up on its own anyway. I simply made it happen faster for you."

Syntax starts making his way through the crowd. Eventually, they come to a door labeled "Engineering." Inside is a dark, modern-looking reception area with an airlock-like door to the left of the counter.
"In here."
The Glitch leads the radioactive, possibly cybernetic being through the airlock door into the main Engineering complex. Various projects are being worked on of different kinds; there's even a half-finished suit of power armor at one of the unattended stations.
Syntax keeps walking toward an Avali napping in an office chair near one of the benches. There's an Avali-sized/fitted hazmat suit near them.

"Mmngh... Huh... Wha?" The Avali examines the figure for a second. "Who're you?"
"He is a cybernetic being of some kind, and I think he is having some sort of power failure. He has... Not elaborated much about it."
"...Yeah, how do I know that's what's going on? Because I don't. He doesn't exactly look trustworthy, either."

"A space station not blown up by a nuclear meltdown. I don't know who you are or what you need those things for, and if I give valuable materials to a mysterious man and it goes south, our bosses won't be happy."
"'Our?'"
"You're the one who brought him in, Syntax. If this goes badly, it's as much your fault as it is mine."
"So would you mind telling me what, exactly, you need fission generators and carbon fiber for?"

"...Right. Whatever. Let me just get that stuff..." The Avali hops out of its seat and heads back, likely to the storage area.
"Sorry about Khaali. She tends to be a little... Irritable."

//tbh I wasn't sure on that, if the person that ended up with it would have handed it in to the guards or not. She did tell the guards it was missing so they would watch for it if it turned up. I figured she probably did get it back fairly quickly since any attempt to use its contents would get noticed.
