'Aaron/Kendra' spoke:

are, so thats where Panda must be, and thats where I'm going." Stargazer
'ports out to a rooftop near to the dojo and plots his next move.

  Kendra was nearly to the end of her search (she hoped) when she suddenly
felt a....wrongness about her armor.  She mentally commanded the systems to
run  a full check, soon finding a small chip embedded in one of her
(thankfully non-tech) systems.  'Porting the offending chip into some place
called Micro$oft she breathed a sigh of relief that most of her armor's
systems were not tech, but magic enhanced.  As she thought this however she
realized that whoever did that must've been trying to port it into *HER* and
let out a window rattling scream of *I AM NOT AN ANDROID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
and poured on the speed, vowing to find whoever did that and making them
*HURT*...if that chip had gotten someplace important...heart, brain, that
kinda thing...she might've been KILLED....oh yes, whoever did that was going
to *PAY*

Stargazer suddenly got a report from his op-center scanners telling him that 
they had accidentally locked onto another dimension, one with Nuku-Nuku in it.
"Damn! If she wasn't a cat/android, what was she? And what about that micro-chip?
It sent a stealth ed message that implantation had been successful and that it
had incorporated the virus into its programming, so that it would still be there
even if removed.  But if she was Biological, how could that happen? Her armor!
Of  course!  I must have gotten it, so at least that action wasn't a total loss.
"  he then noticed the thermonuclear explosion from over by the where he'd
left the mecha.  "What the Hell was that?!?!  How could that mecha have exploded?"  He then hears a small sound from over by the entrance ways. He turns to 
look at it and sees a bunch of indescribable animals eating the toxic waste
that he'd notice was put there earlier.  They of course died horrible, violent
deaths from some of the worst cooking around.  "Something odd is going on around
here.  There must be someone new involved, because this doesn't fit the styles
of the bounty hunters that I know of.  But who?"  Stargazer 'ports in several
thousand remote sensing devices and places them to watch all the exits, and
under the house to look for secret exits.  "I'm gonna have to observe for
a while, till I find out who this new enemy is." Stargazer 'ports back to his
op-center to watch for now, confident in the knowledge that the security 
precautions built into his 'ports to and from his op-center will block all
attempts to trace him.  he also knows that if something happens, he can always
'port back at a seconds notice, or even risk a *very* dangerous time 'port,
if necessary.
