Mizu smiled, she was pleased by this relatively enthusiastic response! Yukiko had been worried that no one would care, but she had proven her wrong!~ "Yes, indeed! We shall go on directed missions, and have a more focussed approach on research, courtesy of the third leader of our club, Ayumi Sakata!" Mizu pushed another key on the keyboard, showing a photo of Ayumi posting, with lots of filters and a photoshopped halo making her look angelic. Mizu then snickered to herself, pressed the key again, and the photo was replaced of a regular one of Ayumi, slurping Ramen out of a bowl, giving the camera a deer-in-the-headlights look. "Before moving on, let me answer your questions, Carl and Dr. Cat! Yes, field missions will happen! We can always use someone who can carry heavy things and protect us from those who might wanna stop us from researching! Exploration will be a big thing, too! There's so many corners of the Digital World we haven't even seen yet! And it shall be up to us to uncover their mysteries! As for the hows, yes, everything, from grouped missions to just observations! We wanna cover every field, to squeeze out all we can from our findings!" Then, finally, she turned to Dio, and gave a cheeky wink. "The payment will be the fulfillment of finding out new things, and the honour to see someone as gorgeous as me in action, hot stuff~"
Once she had judged all questions answered, Mizu pressed a few more keys, which brought up a screen saying "YUMIELSOFT PRESENTS: SUPER SCANNER, ALPHA BUILD NR. 0.004", with a logo of a smiling chibi Ayumi head with a halo in the middle. The very bottom read "YUMELSOFT: HEAVENLY GOOD SOFTWARE". "Now then, we're not just gonna go out and look at things with our ocular organs. No! We will actively work on gadgets and tools to help with the research! And this little software, courtesy of our computer gremlin Ayumi, will be the center core: An improved Digital scanner! This is just a cobbled together prototype Ayumi made overnight, but it should have enough features to show you guys what you can expect! I need one volunteer to step closer and to hold their digivice in front of the screen, to install it!"

Haru cheerfully nodded towards the others, happy to least see everyone was more or less at least excited for the club in varying ways (though she admittingly was more in this for fun than for money). She did giggle at the Betamon's adorably flirty nature if simply because it was not what she would have expected from the aquatic Digimon (but hey she won't judge). "Well, I'm glad it's not like we're going to be stuck in a lab like this all day! It's not a field research club if we aren't actually out getting our hands dirty! I mean... why else do I wear gloves?" she ended up pluckily commenting, holding out her white-gloved hands.
Tawna's feelers around her neck fidgeted around slightly, she crawling into Haru's lap. Truth be told, she had not displayed much interest into the project previously (being more of the fighting type anyway), but they actually having an active role with things at least made them less... disinterested.
Now however was the exciting part... at least for Haru! The girl was actually was somewhat visibly surprised that their tech expert was able to do something like mod their Digivices. As far as she has seen in the past, the only people able to mod a Digivice were really frikkin' smart Digimon... so it was impressive to see a regular girl able to do something like that! Needless to say, she was happy to volunteer her Digivice! "Oh! Me! I can do it!" she excitably spoke, hopping up from her chair (much to Tawna's mild annoyance) and walking up to the computer, pulling out an orange D-3 and holding it outward.

The logo in the middle turned into an hourglass, which rotated a few times before thin strands of data flowed from the screen into the Digivice. After a while, the stream stopped, and the symbol returned to the Ayumi logo. The main screen of the Digivice then read "Yumielsoft (c)[CURRENT YEAR]" in small letters in the right-hand lower corner.
"Aha, look, it worked! Come on, now, scan me! These scanners are beyond anything your digivices come with! They'll show you much more data!" The Betamon grinned, ready to be scanned. She had no fear or worry, even in the case of a malfunction.

Fortunately, everything was a pretty easy process when it came to upgrading the Digivice as a whole; Haru had the stray thought to herself how someone like Ayumi probably could become filthy stinkin' rich if she could put that talent outside of the club. With the upgrade complete and a slight reboot from the device, Haru smiled.
"Seemed to work like a charm! Err, let me see about this..." she quipped as she began to flip through the options on her D-3, going to the scanner option. She held out the D-3 as a wave of light was emanated from it as it began to scan Miyu. "So how did Ayumi figure this all out anyway? Tinkering around with a Digivice had to be pretty tough to do..." she idly asked as she waited for the process to finish.

The Betamon grinned. "Well, the girl is a genius, I told ya! She looks at this thing for one night and whips up a whole prototype! I am still amazed!"
She waited patiently as the scanner did its thing. "It'll take a bit due to its rough state, but it should already have more info than your normal sca-ah! There, it's done!"
Haru's Digivice screen flashed briefly, and then showed a lot of information on Mizu:
SPECIES: Betamon-SDR LEVEL: Rookie ATTRIBUTE: Virus FAMILIES: Nature Spirits TYPE: Amphibian ATTACKS: - Water Shot - Electric Shock: - Eletackle SPECIAL ABILITIES: - Sturdy Skin PREVIOUS FORM: Bukamon NEXT FORM: Seadramon
ARMOR CAPABLE: Yes DISPOSITION: WIP MORAL TENDENCY: WIP SAPIENCE LEVEL: WIP HABITAT: WIP
Every attack name was underlined, too, and showed information when selected!
"Ah, but that is not all! You might think the scanner already does a lot, buuuuuut look what it can also do!" She closed the first program, and opened another. Same background, same chibi Ayumi logo, only this one read "DIGITAL DATABASE Ver. Alpha 0.000006". It then showed a whole bunch of entries labled "WIP", though the uppermost one, "DIGIMON", was avaliable. Clicking it brought up a lot of "?" entries, but there was one labled "BETAMON-SDR". Clicking it brought up the info Haru had just scanned. At the very bottom it even read her name as the "discoverer"!
"Look at this, the scanner automatically logs the findings into a database! Neat, huh?~ Whaddya think?"

Haru had noticed how the scanner did take longer, but once the scanning was done, a wealth of new information was at her finger tips. All forms of information was now available to her, ranging from some of their attacks, attribute, even their pre-evolutions and further evolutions! "Ohhh, wow... You actually Digivolve to a Seadramon? That's really cool of you Mizu!" she gushed over the small amphibian and over the new addition to her Digivice.
This is only further empowered by the reveal that all of their data collected was going to be archived! That alone added a bit more incentive to them trying to scan everything they could find! "That's amazing! That could be really useful for both us, but anyone we eventually share this all with!" She giddily spoke. She was excited to see how this could all go eventually, especially if they could get a lot of information! She turned towards Tawna, a cheerful smile on the girl's face. "Wanna be our next test subject Tawna?"
The feline just seemed to flinch visibly, a mild look of discomfort on the maine coon's face. "... Can we do it later? I'm not exactly comfortable being scanned like this."

Miyu was amused at how Dio reacted, he can act all high and might believing to be a demon lord, bu right now he was a grumpy cat and he nailed it, she missed when Mizu explained the new super scanner, too busy looking at the grumpy cat, but she did see how Haru did the test, Miyu got closer to see and was bombarded with info about the little Betamon, that scanner was a real improvment over the one that the digivice already has.
"OH OH! Scan Bloom now!!!" She said excited picking up Bloom to see what else she could learn about the little Tanemon

Upon hearing there wouldn’t be a tangible monetary reward for their efforts, Dio couldn’t help but let out a somewhat disappointed huff. That said, he still seemed interested enough to stay around, else he would have already walked out through the door.
Carlos however, could not be more intrigued and honestly hyped for the whole exploration aspect. All his childhood he had spent watching and rewatching all the Indiana Jones movies, all those Amazon cannibal movies (without her mother knowing about the latter, of course) and had always daydreamed about being a daring explorer, finding old temples and exploring abandoned ruins, unearthing ancient secrets all in the name of knowledge and adventure.
So yeah, him being part of this club was practically guaranteed now. And even if he wouldn’t say so out loud, Dio was interest had certainly been piqued. If they were to learn more about the digital world, that meant there was a good chance they would investigate old stuff from ancient times…perhaps even the Dark Area at some point. If that was the case, this was as good a chance as any to learn one or two things about his origins, which had been a bit of a concern to him the past week.
Perhaps the dark lord would give this place the benefit of the doubt for now. After they tested the prototype out (Dio being somewhat disappointed nothing exploded) the man also approached to see the results, the screen on the device being filled with lots of all manner of information regarding Mizu.
“Niice. Can you scan him too? I’m curious if the holosuit causes interference or something.” He asked as he gently picked up his partner.
“Hey! Put me down this instant! Nobody asked me if I wanted to be scanned” The disguised Impmon would complain, sounding almost outraged.
“Come on, Dio, where’s your sense of curiosity and discovery? Don’t you want to learn what else you’ll evolve into?” He asked, suspecting that sort of knowledge would invariably feed into his partner’s pride and ego, which was always a good way of convincing him of doing the most inane things if it meant getting respect from the others.
“…fine.” The black cat conceded, his curiosity getting the better of him.

Oh, what was this? A tech demonstration?
Honestly, for an initial meeting in a run-down office building, the doctor wasn't expecting anything so grand. His ear gave a small twitch at the term 'Doctor Cat', but their questions would be answered easily enough: missions and general observation would make up their research, and obviously, there was no monetary payment. This scanning program, however, quickly got the room interested.
Though it was just a prototype, the results were immediately evident - well, immediately, save for load times. The Mikemon peered over at the screen, giving a small whistle. Special abilities? Next forms? Even subspecies codes considered within? Just how did this 'Ayumi' managed to pull all of this off? "Neat's one way to put it - that's close to brilliant." Even so, the Mikemon ended up giving a chuckle:
"Unfortunately, well, I don't really have a Digivice I can use for this sort of thing - though this is just a prototype version, right? Let's see..." Rather than jumping in line to be scanned, the cat briefly reached behind his back, hand briefly vanishing through a conjured portal, before he drew out a red, spherical crystal. "I already use this to observe and scan data as is. So... maybe?"
The Mikemon didn't exactly know the rules, but the orb was as much code as a Digivice was. Tentatively, he held it in front of the screen.
It... might work?

The Betamon laughed out loud. The people present were surely excited! Just as planned! She knew Ayumi's scanner would be a real draw! But now everyone wanted the prototype, can't have that! "Gals, gals, hold your Unimon! This is just the prototype, just wait for the full thing when we head out to our first mission!~" Ah, but she had been too late to keep the Mikemon from trying his luck. While the program did react to the orb, the program did not install. "Ah, maybe you should let Ayumi have a look at your orb, maybe she can find a way to get your scanner onto there! The girl's half a genius, let me tell ya!"
As Mizu chatted cheerfully, there was a knock on the door, and a tall, tanned young woman entered. She was wearing a simple jacket and a t-shirt that read "Akiyama's Music Import/Export" with a cute little koala mascot holding a vinyl. She wore long jeans, and simple sneakers. Her tall body, muscular frame and sharp facial features struck an intimidating appearance...which was sullied by her utterly adorable soft facial expression, which turned into an immense blush and a deer-in-the-headlights look once she saw just how many people were here! "O-o-o-o-oh, s-s-s-so many..." The Betamon grinned. "Aha, there she is, the boss herself! Folks, say hello to Yukiko Armstrong, our team leader!~" Yukiko waved sheepishly as she closed the door behind her.

It seemed everyone was a bit gung-ho now about the scanner, but they probably should not get carried away. Still, the fact that there was a lot of ethusiasm overall as a group was great to see! "S-Sorry! Didn't mean to get everyone a lil' carried away!" the black-haired girl apologized, though she did begin to attempt scanning Bloom in their Tanemon form (mainly due to Miyu asking first). She didn't understand all the information given, but that was fine! She was willing to bet with time she'd be practically a wizard at this stuff.
Amid all the commotion, Tawna herself just seemed to shrug slightly. She was perplexed to see the device capable of peering into potential evolutions, but at the same knowledge like this just wasn't her go-to thing. Still, it seemed to make Haru happy so... maybe this was good? An unsure look was on the maine coon's face overall, they more or less keeping to themself.
Haru smiled warmly in her seat while she scanned Bloom, her vision turned towards the newest addition to the room. So this was the mastermind of the club, and Mizu's partner? Well, they were certainly cute as a button despite their very impressive height (seriously, they were really frikkin' tall)! She waved hello before introducing herself. "Hello ~ ! Great to see you here finally! Mizu was just giving us the general rundown of things, plus us testing out Ayumi's scanner!" she spoke before cutely winkly. The way she spoke was pronounced in it's innocence and sweetness. "Haru Toriya by the way, and grump cat on my lap is Tawna! I hope in the end, we'll all become friends doing this!"
For once, Haru felt like... there really was nothing wrong in her life.

Miyu was happy that Haru started scanning Bloom, wondering what can she discover about the littl bulb, sadly the scaning was interrputed due to Miyu moving Bloom out of the way of the scanner to meet the girl that just enter the office, she was tall, muscular and very intimidating, but Miyu never judged a book by its cover so cheerfuly went towards the girl for a handshake
"HI! My name is Miyu Feng and this little potato it's my partner Bloom"
"A real pleasure to meet you!" Said Bloom with a big smile

Despite everyone’s enthusiasm, it seemed that they would have to wait out for a bit longer to get a chance at using the super scanner on their own.
“Heh,my bad…Sorry Dio, guess you’ll have to wait to find out.” He said, petting his partner on the head, which surprisingly only elicited a mildly annoyed eye roll from the digimon. He had way less of an issue with being pet by Carlos than…well, anyone else.
“Joy.” The cat sarcastically replied, before looking up at the man. “Can you put me down now?”
With a nod Carlos complied, gently placing Dio back on their chair. While the mention of a mission made him perk up considerably, Carlos figured it was better to save those questions for when the actual leader showed up…which conveniently enough was a moment later, as then Mizu’s parter, Yukiko, made her way inside the office.
Much to the Carlos’ surprise, she was not only as tall as he was, but rather muscular and well fit as well, not exactly what he expected to be heading a research club of all things. It created quite a bizarre contrast with the exceedingly shy demeanor she showed once she noticed all the club members. Talk about never judging a book by its cover.
“Hey there. Carlos Rey.” He’d say with a wave before pointing at the cat still resting by the chair. “That there would be Dio. Looking forward to be working with you, and everyone else for that matter.”
“Charmed.” The holosuited imp said, somewhat disinterested, taking a cue from Tawna and simply keeping to himself.

Eh, no luck, huh? The Mikemon figured that he wouldn't be able to interface with human programs directly like that, but the most that would happen is that he would look a bit silly for trying. Just as he was about to put the sphere away, though, the Betamon let out a comment that he should bring up the crystal sphere with Ayumi.
"Why not?" He gave a smile and a nod. "She's already managed to pull this much off - if nothing else, it'll be a nice challenge for her to work on." That much would be helpful if she could manage to pull it off, and with the Betamon's first words, the room started calming down quite a bit. Taking a few steps away, and sitting at the edge of the table near Carlos and Dio, the knock at the door drew everyone's attention. In short order, their leader stood there, an awkward expression on her face as she attempted to greet them in her casual ware.
Not exactly a social butterfly, was she? Regardless, the feline gave a wave, introducing himself in turn: "Dr. Mikemon, nice to make your acquaintance."
Awkward tone from their leader aside, everything seemed to be going smoothly! Right now, it was just a matter of ironing out the details.

Yukiko was a tad overwhelmed by the sheer number of people. She just waved and smiled a crooked awkward smile. "H-h-h-h-h-hi everyone!" It took her a few seconds to notice Miyu's hand. She blushed again over her messup, and shook it. "N-n-n-n-nice to meet you..." She stood there, frozen with indecision. It took Mizu hopping off the desk and gently pulling her along to the front to get her to move. She did not open her mouth until Mizu poked her. "Ah! Welcome, welcome to the Digital Field Club! I am so happy to see so many interested people! As you know, we want to research the Digital World and discover all its wonder! For this, my best friend Ayumi developed a much better scanner! Our first mission shall be to go to the Net Ocean and test out these scanners, once they are fully developed!" This text came out -really- fast and nervously. Guess she had learned it by heart. Mizu shook her head and smiled. "Yup, first mission will be to the seaside, to test our our scanners! We gotta start small, but we intend to branch out much more once we got used to each other and the scientific method! Yukiko will be our leader and organizer. Ayumi is the thinker, and I am here to look pretty~" She batted her eyelashes as she said that.
