Lillian: Buy a flying big rig of a truck and drive that through the void! ==>
Good idea! You apply MALLKIND and honk wildly while flying even faster towards the Winter Palace, dodging submachine blocks. YOU WILL PURIFY THE CONCEPT OF SCIENCE FROM THIS CORNY THING THAT MAKES YOUR NARRATIVE SENSE ITCH SLIGHTLY

Quick recap of events in Genso: Nitori and Nefer get caught in storm and spend the night at Dai-chan's house. They make it to the shrine, and head back. However, the greater fairy is fleeing from a giant shadow beast, which happens to run into Moukou, with Nefer in hot pursuit... And then Dai runs face first into Medicine. Result: One dead beast, one choking doll, one panicked fairy, one confused phoenix and two completely unfazed lovers.

Lillian: Raid the Winter Palace. ==>
You have arrived! Nobody seems to be here right now, on any layerspace, even the hidden colors. Well, you can find them later.

SPOILER ALERT: The Feeder of Pain will close in on Murtaugh on the 25th. That's when the act will change. In the meantime, Lillian is free to explore.

Lillian: Think. ==>
You do the mindy thing and assess the possibilities while staring at the glowing plants and dancing around. Since the anti-structural architecture locations are some of the earliest integrated submachine areas (exits/native nonhuman culture?), obviously the Forerunners must have done something near here when they were retrofitting. But what? You look around but are unsure what you're even looking for.
Perhaps Science is just talking to Murtaugh to delay him, allowing for the Feeder of Pain to close the gap more quickly? You do not have enough narrative data to be sure. Assuming the Feeder of Pain is actively hunting him, of course. We have no idea what its speed is or whether hunting Murtaugh is all it intends to do.
Hmmm, decisions decisions...You wonder if cats like Einstein or people like Elizabeth could help you figure out some backstory. Did divinity see fit to grant only Murtaugh a new life?
You send a pulse into the submachine void, ringing through the world and announcing your presence. It is unlikely they will hear you, but hey.
horrorTerror: Dance in silly ways while aC waits boredly. ==>
You do that. And enjoy it.

So instead, I'll discuss entity movements.
Currently, the only person playing SBURB would be Derm (which is entirely in character for the hero of Towersoared.) Although the crew of the Buttership Halcyon did all get a few games in.
The Ignitions can go pretty much anywhere. The only places that they can't reach are:
The Garden of Remembrance, in Radiant Garden. That area is currently guarded by Perihedra, the last living member of the Order of the Feeder, the group that comprised most of the first half of NOTMS 4. Zebraspace, a sort of "negative space" that can only be entered by quite literally destroying reality itself. If John and Jade hadn't absconded with the planets during the events of Cascade, this is quite likely where they'd end up. The Submachine, which is currently a pocket inside of Zebraspace. A negative space within a negative space. The Diadem, at the heart of Bloons Battleground. Even the Ignitions aren't THAT stupid. They know that if they assault the Diadem, they'd kill it - and if the Diadem dies, so does the universe. The Digital Realms. Even without the Overlord, the Ignitions can't get in. PC Overlord Bill would take them out if they even tried, anyway. Subspace, in the basement of Dedede's Castle. The castle is damn near impenetrable. Amateria, the current home base of the Organization. Marluxia's defense systems make the Mountain Fortress truly invincible. Even a ubercharged Dame of Blood with a Starman in godmode couldn't get through.

Lillian: Leave cat food at the Winter Palace. ==>
You...put down a bowl of cat food and a bowl of delicious creamy milk in the First Layer area of the Winter Palace and wait. Both are Bowls of Limitless Freshness and so their contents will be edible forever and replaced when removed or consumed. If Einstein is going to make a return to the Core, he will probably notice these. You are not sure whether it will succeed in attracting his attention across the barriers of space and time, but since adopted locations like the Winter Palace are easily connected to neighboring realities outside the Submachine, kitty will probably gap about like a less flippant Liebschen sooner or later.
Lillian: Fly. ==>
You fly into the void. You have a 000 to find.

Meanwhile in Gensokyo...
Aya: Once more, I bring grave tidings to you all. Aya: Madame Remilia Scarlet, the Head Mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, has been missing for a week. Aya: She is considered lost, and her name has been added to the list of recent vanishings. Aya: Alongside her, we are also still missing Yuyuko, Kanako, Hatate, Mystia, Tewi, and Satori. Aya: A search for the missing vampire is in progress. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Lunarian reality TV shows. Current broadcast: Keeping Up with the Watatsukis.
Alice: Huh? Oh no, not again...
Girls are training now and do their best. Please wait warmly until school is ready. (yay, meta-life gags!)

avertedCrisis: Wander down the road of death, but without the whole dying thing ==>
You go visit the Sanzu River, and wander down to one of its less-attended and dead-free natural tributary-edge banks. There is an android vocalist you cannot quite remember who they are that is lying all washed-up on the beach. You can tell she's an android because of your magically-enhanced robotic vision, of course!
Using your EPIC ROBOTIC MASTERY!!!!1!!!11!!!ONE! you pick her up and bring her to some of Gensokyo's finest engineers, the kappa, for repairs, by just asking them nicely about it.

That there's a plot point. Update later today. Nefer the NEET gotta do SPANISH SCHOOLWORK da ze~ (In short, Nefer and Nitori'll come across her. And then avertedCrisis'll run into them. I'll chat on Steam.)

Nefer and Nitori wake up and decide to head down to the Sanzu, with obvious plans for the day. However, before they can kiss (YES XENAHORT, I HEAR YOU COMPLAINING,) something catches their eye...
(yeah, there's actually three Nefers. There's the one in Genso, there's the Real Fake Nefer, and then there's the actual person writing this silly derpy fanfic. The Real Fake Nefer is mostly implied to be the author's stand-in, and currently has Ghetsis, Xenahort and Herobrine as permanent guests.)
aC: So nice to meet you and what's with the old robot over here? Nefer: I have no idea.
???: backup. battery. low. ???: no. charge. lefff...
A few days later, after she's repowered...
???: yaaaaaaaaaaaawwwww-hUH? ???: Where... where am I...? Nefer: No two ways about it. That's Riko Toone.

Act 3: Demo She was one of the last of her kind. Her existence, violated. Her will, raped. Her very soul, cleaved asunder by the Zebras. For, you see, she had fallen into Zebraspace. A sort of negative reality, where common sense never existed to begin with. A space that can only be reached by destroying the very everything of reality itself. All encompassing, all around the Submachine.
The cyclops in blue could barely remember her name. Under ethereal torment, the armless heroine had lost much of her memories. Suffering from spectral agony, the demon could struggle no longer. Fragmented, fractured, she becomes another victim of the Zebras: Horrific beasts of eldritch dimensions, banished from existence by the Giraffes. Creatures that would make even Grontimügarr quake in absolute terror in their horrific miasmajesty. Ancient beings from before time had a name.
But she did not know how lucky she would be. Her name... was Demo.

A Pair of Cats: Tick, tock, remember. ==>
Running between boundaries of magenta and purple, just like old times...You hear calls of a thousand kinds, and answer none for fear of the breaking.
You are death and destruction holding greater selves, riding the titan that is the layer-tresspasser from the first. Cat stacks.
In the floating remains of a Scratched-out Prospit (torn to pieces by the [RED MILES]) and Derse (much less so), missing their moons for different reasons, a memory manifested for only a moment. What of the survivors?
While Einstein departed for gifts of sustenance, the meta-eyes of Liebschen the Cat and Destroyer, host of the unending Scream and the dance of blades held under the allweapon dagger Tchaikovsky, drifted in awry ways to scrying towards the dead and gone.
What's in the spaces of zebras?
