To his credit, Chu-e is mostly tuning peggie vela out as she rants and complains. He does decide to be cheeky and mock opening and closing his mouth to mock her, a wiggle in his head as he does so for extra 'childishness'. He's not looking at her, though, busier taking pictures of whatever is around them and sending them all to Cillian Quinn. The space, the paperwork he can rummage up, even one of the very pissed off teenage girl he's now in the company of, just for good measure. If Gavin wasn't going to answer he was going to blow his phone up like he was a jealous girlfriend convinced the other was cheating. That would show him.

"Do you wanna still be here when whatever that thing shows up? The vents were one thing, but I'm pretty sure it, like, sleeps here or something." And it was pretty much Survival 101 you didn't fuck around in a dangerous thing's nest. It was just plain common sense. "Besides, haven't you ever seen a horror movie? You're young, you'll live. I'll be the one ripped in two like a really bloody pinata. That's how this shit works."

Either Chu-e wasn't taking this as seriously as Plank was or he was just fucking with her. Maybe both.

I thought we understood that was the plan anyway, back in the vents." Chu-e glanced back up at her, rolling his eyes. "It eats me, you run. Easy."

At least Cillian Quinn finally messaged back. It raised a small weight off his shoulders that maybe this would work out. Guess that this situation had come to a head if Gavin and whoever else 'they' were had managed to track it down. "We're not the only ones dealing with this anymore." Because he may as well keep peggie vela in the loop. "Gav says it's in the med bay right now." Which... really didn't do too much good in terms of location. If Chu-e guessed right, they were still somewhere in the Labs. So it was in another wing of the ship but not so far away to not cause worry....

A quick. 'Can we trap it?' was shot back to Gavin.

"Alright, new plan." Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his handful of pokeballs. Sadly, most of them had been left in his office. Thankfully, Cipher would probably start going crazy soon to find him. That Delphox was fucking insane. But, he did have some things to work with. "What pokemon you got on you? We can probably plug up most of those holes and set a trap if we're clever about this."

Even if he joked, Chu-e didn't really want to die to the laser wielding vent crawler.

His Magneton and Primarina wouldn't be too much help. Ah, but maybe....

A quick toss and three pokemon were now in the room. An Ampharos, a Slurpuff, and a shiny Lopunny. The three pokemon looked just as confused about the dim surroundings and the humans were. "Alright. Snacks," He flashes his light at the Slurpuff. "See all these holes? Use your Sticky Web and plug those bitches up. Except uh...." The light is aimed at the ceiling now as he mentally tries to calculate which direction the med bay might be. "That one. Don't fill in that one. Kidd, use Magnetic Flux on that one instead. Creams, you're on standby." The three pokemon nodded before getting to work.

"Anything you got that can help reinforce the web, trap that hole, or just beat the shit out of that thing if it shows up will help."

Before Chu-e could do much more to rile up peggie vela the whole sub shook, almost knocking the man off balance. Then the sirens started, echoing a warning medley outside the room. A red light started to flash, high above, fading in and out of the darkness. Chu-e's phone went off, revealing an unsettling message.

We have a breach in the medical bay. We're taking on water. If you are able, exit the sub with all haste.

From Cillian Quinn. Chu-e paled before grimacing, resolve firming up into something more commanding. It was time to stop fucking around.

"The subs flooding." As he spoke, Chu-e called back his pokemon but called out his Primarina from earlier. "Fuck waiting. We need to bust out and get to my office." Where all his pokemon were, namely all his ones who could teleport. He needed to get to them. To get Peggie off the sub, then to track down and get as many people off this ship as possible.

"Marsh, Icy Wind that door!" The seal pokemon leaned up and started to freeze the door over as requested, intending to use the ife to help weaken the steel of the door. It would make it easier to bust down.

The outburst is ignored. As peggie vela orders her pokemon to bust them out, Chu-e calls back Marsh and makes his way over to those papers. Some are dusty and nasty but he shakes them off and grabs as many as he can; a quick glance mentions something about a Genesis Project and Druantium Chrome but Chu-e has no idea what those are and doesn't have the time to read deeper. When the door busts down, Chu-e is ready.

"Alright, we're going to my office and getting you off this ship." He says it as if there isn't any point in arguing, because there isn't; Plank will survive this even if she decides to kick and scream. It takes a moment for him to orient himself before he starts to march down the hallways. A door leads them into the main lab area, various scientists scurrying around in a panic. The ones in their way duck out of the way as he passes, not wanting to cross their Underboss- who looks on a warpath; much different from all of his screwing around earlier.

His office is nearby, down a long hallway. If Peggie has been speaking to him at any point, he isn't listening. A Delphox stands in front of one of the doors, looking anxious, but perks up and rushes to Chu-e when it spots him. He nods to the pokemon and jerks open his door, stepping inside. The first thing he does is open a drawer behind his desk, stuffing his pockets with pokeballs; then a little over a half dozen of various Psychic type pokemon are tossed out.

"My Mr. Mime will Teleport you to safety." As he speaks, he is collecting his laptop and various folders. They're shoved in a Gardevoir's hands, who Teleports away. "Everyone! Go start getting people off this sinking ship!" Other than the Mr. Mime, the various other pokemon all vanish to start the task. The Gardevoir is back a moment later.
