Taako isn't the only one with that visceral sensation of being thrown off-kilter, though he's lucky in that he has far more of an awareness of where it's coming from compared to Zim. When he awoke he woke with memories of this city, muddled ones that haven't overtaken his entire memory drive and instead have left his mind a patchwork jumble of living on earth for most of his life versus being born from a test tube far underground a highly advanced planet versus trying to conquer other species versus being very, very bitter towards magical fae creatures that are most certainly real. It's like a collision of magic and science in his head has left everything a mess even more broken than his normal state of mind, which was never sane to begin with.

Naturally, he's very angry. And frustrated. Paranoid. Confused. A whole host of unpleasant things that are making him twitchier than ever. The only consolation (and it isn't even that, more like a desperately flailing reach for something resembling normalcy) he can find is in technology, which is the only consistent thing running through his shredded mess that he's calling his memories. That's what he's going to use to sort everything out, and that's what he's going to use to wreck havoc on whoever screwed up his mind.

Just off the street Taako happens to be on is a small alleyway with an absolutely disgusting dumpster that happens to belong to the sketchy-looking electronics shop that's closed for the night. The distinct sound of rummaging can be heard coming from it, since the lid of it is currently open. Why yes, there is a green child-looking thing digging through the trash, very obviously not human though in what amounts to the worst disguise ever, fake hair and humanesque eyes.
