To be totally honest, helping the Guardian does sound like it would be mostly an altruistic effort. I could have some benefit in handling a game, were it to drop during their stay, but that's about as far as it would affect the carnival.
For stolen items and physical rewards, some of it will translate back to the carnival after it leaves and others won't. For example, the hoverboards from here can fly around anywhere in Mainframe, but after the carnival leaves they'll only be able to cover above physical surfaces. The virus probably does have access to some technology capable of bending reality within this universe (the equivalent of using a program to edit data), and it would be a curious experiment to see how that affects life outside of the computer.
Lambert can definitely go for a search if he's up to it. If that's something you'd like to pursue, I may take it to a one on one conversation to discuss the details.
