A warning in advance: This chapter is gonna be very hard to read.
***
You can't understand Morse code, which...isn't good. You relay this information to him and he...attempts...to speak in a way you can understand.

Perfect.
You've found the person you've been looking for. But now you have to think about why you're looking for him...Bandu wants to see him, Hazardous wants to imprison him, the red guy in your head wants to see him for who-knows-what. What exactly are you supposed to do now?
As you think about all of this, Expunged attempts to speak again.
"Th-Th-The CσɳႦιʂ ǝɥʇ pǝʇɐǝɹɔ 𝔻𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕞𝕤𝕔𝕒𝕡𝕖𝕤 to d-d-distract from the ĐɆⱠɆ₮łØ₦₴ they're p̷̫̘̘̔́͐͑̽͗l̸͓̠͓̤̝̅a̶̛͍̥̫̪̪̱͍̒̔̿̌͜ͅṋ̵͇̳̍̂̈́́͘n̴͔͔̮̫̣̝̻̳̈́͐͐̈͌̽͝i̴̝͚̩͙͊n̵̡͈̺͙̼͙̖͗͑̏̎͂̑́ģ̶̹̦̫̘̬̹͕̳͑̿̓̿̂̃̇̕," He says. "They're g-g-going to 🄳🄴🄻🄴🅃🄴 𝕞𝕪 𝕔𝕣𝕖𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕠𝕟𝕤."      Expunged sounds desperate. The idea of losing his creations...it's horrifying to him. And his only way of expressing this is through his barely-functioning voice...a voice the Conbis had tampered with maliciously.
"Eh, we shouldn't feel too bad for him. He was a prisoner after all." One of the voices in your head says.
"ⱧɆ'₴ ₳ ₱Ɽł₴Ø₦ɆⱤ ₩ⱧØ ₵₳₦ ₵ⱤɆ₳₮Ɇ Ⱡł₣Ɇ," The other voice says. "Ø₦₵Ɇ ɆVɆⱤɎØ₦Ɇ ₩₳₭Ɇ₴ Ʉ₱, ₩Ɇ'ⱠⱠ ₵Ɇ₳₴Ɇ ₮Ø ɆӾł₴₮. Ʉ₦ⱠɆ₴₴ ɆӾ₱Ʉ₦₲ɆĐ ₵ⱤɆ₳₮Ɇ₴ ₳ ฿ØĐɎ ₣ØⱤ Ʉ₴ ØɄ₮₴łĐɆ Ø₣ ₮ⱧɆ ĐⱤɆ₳₥₴₵₳₱Ɇ₴."
As the voices in your head argue, you try to listen to Expunged again. He rambles on about how proud he is of his creations, specifically Dale and the trixes. Then he looks you in the eyes for the first time during this entire conversation, his smile seeming less psychotic and more genuine.
"You...y-y-you doʇs uɐɔ 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕞 𝔣𝔯Ⓞ爪 🄳🄴🄻🄴🅃🄸🄽🄶 my ƈɾҽαƚισɳʂ."
No I can't. You think. But there's no harm in helping this guy, especially if he can give you something in return. And that 'something' could be a body, a real one, not one that only resides in a dream. It's appealing in a way, even if you never thought about it until now.
"F-F-Find their 𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕕𝕖𝕣, ˙ıquoƆ lɐuıɓıɹo ǝɥʇ   s𝐭𝕠𝕡 ђ丨ᗰ  from g̴͖̩͇̺̙͙͓͐̽́̽̒̊͘͠o̶̻̭͆̑͜i̵̛͓̹̿̈́̎͐̊͠n̵̛̰̄̆̈́̓̽͘g̵̜̟̎̔͘̕ ̷̤̳̃͛̈́̅̇̕̚͠͝t̸̟̅͛̋̀̓̄h̶̛̯͍̋̇̒͝ͅr̸̠̖̅͑̕̕͠͠ọ̴̑ủ̸͕̇̈́̏̌͘͝g̸̜̠͗́͗̈́̒̕͜h̶̨͙͂̾̃̆͊̎͒͜  with the 🄳🄴🄻🄴🅃🄸🄾🄽🅂."
Pretty straight forward instructions. Too bad you have no idea where the original Conbi is!
