"Ah, thanks! I've never played this before, but I'll try to pick up on it quick. Let's get a match going, glasses!"
Tab stands off to the side, lowering his hat over his face, almost as if in shame.

"It's... Lisa."
You look at the roster. There's Alice and Dana. Lara - no, that was edited. Her real name is La Rena. She's also available. Then another maid named Sassy with a big-ass scythe. A scantily-clad dancer with long lavender hair named Isana. A black-haired lady named Lily, she's wearing a mostly-see-through black tunic and carrying a rapier and book. A red-haired woman named Ann with a bow. And Aeva, a short, olive-skinned woman in plate mail with... multiple weapons strapped to her back, and wings made out of fire.

Tab pulls his hat down his face further. Past his nose at this point. The shame seems to feel more akin to embarrassment now.
Awkward goggles at the character select. "I see, I see. Actually, I think it'd be more fun if you two kept playing. Fighting me wouldn't be fun! I'm no good anyways! See ya!"
Awkward grabs Tab and, examining the portals, decides to hop through "CPU".

You head through the CPU tunnel. Your viewpoint shifts like a shifting screen.
The CPU room contains several towers covered in circuitry. Looking at the blue-colored exits, you seem to have come from the "DISC DRIVE." The next goes to "PORT." A third, colored red, is labeled "CORE MEMORY." One last exit looks different from the others. It's an archway instead of a rectangle. There's no label, but the portal shows a picture of a modern tower.
There are two people hanging out in here. One is a brown-haired guy in a costume that looks like some kind of... anime... mascot character? It's blue and cute and furry and has a horn. He's got a sword slung across his back. The other can only be described as an old Russian man fused with a hippy. Big, poofy, grey afro. Headband. Red floral-patterned shirt.

O-Oh... Talk to... Russian dude. "Hey, uh... You know what this place is, exactly? Not sure how I got here..."

"How you got here? You walk through portal, man! I saw it," the guy says in a thick accent. "I don't know where this is. One minute, I'm minding shop. Brewing new potion for... experiments. Next minute, BOOM! Here."
"...Maybe this really bad trip, da?"

"So you don't know either... Well, my quarrel isn't with you. Thanks, gramps."
Let's just walk a little bit. Head to "PORT".

You head into the port. It looks like an empty hanger with two stories.
It links back to the POWER SUPPLY and the CPU. It also has another of those archways, this one showing what looks like an underground tunnel lined with spider webs.
There's one person who. Actually, you think they're a robot. Maybe? They've got spiky, brown hair and full-body blue armor, though he's holding the helmet under his arm.
He's talking to a computer terminal built into the wall.
"So what is this place?" he asks in a strangely stilted tone.

Hang around this person, so we can see how the computer responds.

"unknown," the computer says. "this is not my home terminal. access to local memory is heavily restricted."
"Well. What can you. Tell me?" the blue-armor guy says.
"this area is designated PORT. Access to planet Naeran is provided through that archway nearby."
"Nae-ran?"
"a planet laced with a network of tunnels inhabited by giant spiders and eldritch monstrosities."
"Wo-o-o-ow. Well. What about. The other doors?"
"...they link to this construct's cpu and power supply."
"Hm. What do you think I should do next?"

You walk into the Power Supply portal.
Inside, you find several power coils. And a pikachu in a labcoat analyzing them.

"Christ..." I swear I'll make an affirmative decision sometime... For now, I want to head back to the CPU room, then into the archway with the picture of that modern tower.
