MIDI tries to tune in directly to Acorn's comms frequency, and once he finds it:
MIDI: Uh, it's 5813 I think. Even if you get it wrong it's not like it'll do anything other than keep you out.

After a good half hour, Taurus finally has an actual reason to be in awe, as a large computer cluster capable of monitoring TV and radio channels and showing many of them at once on its screens is put in place. There's also a large board for collecting intel on Regal on the side.

With that done, MIDI leaves the room with yet another satellite dish and computer, going to an out-of-sight room with a direct view of the ominous tower...
MIDI:(Now, I'm pretty sure Woe had a wireless internet thing set up in his lab, and since that's just radio waves I might just be able to pick the signal up from here. And since he opened some kinda portal over there, I gotta know what's happening. Don't want another incident like that Doomguy wannabe killing Fridge.)

After hooking it up to the PC, MIDI points the satellite dish directly at the tower...

...I described the command center, yes.

...It's just a room with a bunch of chairs in it. For now.

MIDI comes out of an elevator pushing a table full of old TVs, monitors, PC boxes, cables and radios, and even three satellite dishes. He starts hooking most of it all up on a room that he labels "Command Center" with a sharpie and a piece of paper.

MIDI: Yep! Feel free to look around and set yourself up with a workstation or office or whatever.
MIDI immediately goes upstairs, to the roof...

MIDI drives up a hill that cars aren't meant to go on directly to the entrance of a specific building.
He has no key... and instead picks the lock with one finger. Upon entering, he enthusiastically breathes in the stale, dusty air, causing him to sneeze.
MIDI: Ah, it's good to be back! The tech here was cutting edge... quite a few years ago, so it's just about average now. I'mma go turn everything on.
MIDI enters a side room, breaks into an electric box and reinserts all the fuses, as the lights gradually turn on like in those movies where the main character enters an abandoned warehouse.

The car sets off through the dull, empty streets of the city, quickly making its way towards an overgrown college campus. MIDI violently rips Taurus' tape out of the radio and throws it into a sewer drain.

MIDI goes outside and opens the door of his (relatively small) Yugo.
MIDI: Alright, everyone, get in.
How will they all fit? ...Iunno, magic?

MIDI plugs himself out of the computer.
MIDI: Welp, I've done some... things, so that as soon as I send a particular code to the hospital intranet via radio every account in Regal's name gets absolutely emptied within seconds.
MIDI: But let's hold off on that. We don't wanna spook him, do we?
MIDI: Now, shall we get going to the Uni? We'll need a few hours to clean it out and set up shop.

MIDI suddenly starts responding.
MIDI: Are you seriously thinking of requisitioning the only working hospital in the entire city for the army?!
MIDI: How 'bout somewhere more practical, like the old University*'s tech wing?

*The Neptune City University, it's been closed for quite a while now due to a lack of funds.

Still no response.

No response.

MIDI sits behind a PC in the hospital lobby, connects himself to it via parallel port(the latest technology, baby!) and seems to start meditating.

MIDI looks at Chomper with a "what have you done" look.

MIDI very cautiously pokes Taurus G with a pair of long tweezers from afar.
