He arrived in The Ship Deck at the Programmable Darling Patrol's headquarters. Juna, a part time member of this team summoned him since she was looking for a candidate from the Human World to work with them and join her own emerging team.

Synopsis: Marcia harnessed her time travel skills over a long period of time, and with the help of a friend, pushed beyond her limits to make her first ventures into another universe.
She arrived in the headquarters of her team's counterpart which looks sleek and glamorous, but past those first impressions she finds a very different experience. One of the ways it is similar though is with the increased vigilance against malware threats.
With no cover story to convincingly present herself as a guest and concerns over the potential consequences if she were known to be from another universe, she has to be undercover to find information about where she is and hope she does not get spotted or be assumed to be malware...
