The discussion about Punk Records soon ended.
Edison, the plug-shaped "Thinking" satellite, brought over tea with Shaka and handed it out to Xie Wen and the cats.
After taking a gentle sip of his tea, Xie Wen looked at Vegapunk curiously and voiced his question. "Why did you lead us here? You should know that I'm currently hostile to the World Government. And... when you get right down to it, I'm the one who drew those people outside here."
Although he had long known that Vegapunk and the World Government were not of one mind, he did not seem to have any friendship with the man, either.
The only connection Xie Wen could think of seemed to be the Revolutionary Army.
But if his memory served him correctly, Vegapunk had long since declined Dragon's invitation on the grounds of "insufficient funding."
"Because I'm very interested in the technology you use, and the Cat Mink Tribe members who invented it."
Vegapunk answered while looking at Meowrah.
"That's all?"

Well... Xie Wen realized he had been overthinking things. For a genius scientist like Vegapunk, that reason alone did seem to be enough.
"Then that works out perfectly. My cats have plenty of questions they'd like to ask you, too."
Xie Wen patted the two Research Cats on their little heads and nudged them in front of Vegapunk.
The two little cats immediately pulled Vegapunk into a lively conversation about the problems they had each encountered in their research. As Vegapunk offered his suggestions, he also asked the cats about Palico technology.
Seeing their animated discussion, the two robot satellites representing "Wisdom" and "Thinking" joined in as well.
"Xie Wen, I want to talk to this old grandpa about making bombs too, meow."
