If Yumemi were smart, which she is, she would ambush us at a certain place, and we would tell Zombralulz that we're going to a different place, and the ambush would be on the route to the fake destination. If Zombralulz wasn't a great fool, which he isn't, he would have us go to the fake destination via a nonstandard route, bypassing any good ambush points ... unless Yumemi planned for him to do that ... but knowing that, they would do the opposite to throw their opponent off ... Hmm ...

>You know that it can translate languages, and apparently it needs to be set. to do so. You aren't certain how to do that. As well, there is the communicator, which you suspect is not a basic feature of these things. You know that it needs to be turned on and off; and it makes a vague hiss noise when turned on. to use it, there is a button you press while talking. From what you understand, you can't hear someone else talking to you while the button is pressed.

I knew that second button would be a problem, it is the bane of us all!
