Oscar stroked his chin, considering the suggestion of his compatriot. "Fair idea, though how to do it?" His outfit was similar to Mister Gallagher, a Rocket member Oscar had never met until earlier in the week. Black, form fitting clothing was always his go-to for burglary jobs--and he was glad to have an excuse to pull this little number from the depths of his closet. He accepted the job out of principle, it was a noble cause and Felix seemed like a decent enough guy. Oscar was more than willing to lend a hand to a Rocket in need, though deep down he was just happy to have been asked at all.

Oscar leaned forward, carefully observing the rooftop of the Rotom TV HQ from his perch. Thanks to the renovation it had a much more modern appearance than its original incarnation, meaning there were less rooftop entry ways. Still, through the top would be the best way to get in undetected.  Oscar began to think out loud as he continued his mental scan, "There's likely a rooftop stairway, but that seems a tad obvious. Perhaps...ah ha."

As soon as Oscar knew what to look for, his eyes would gravitate toward a metal squared tube jutting from the roof of the HQ. Oscar smirked and pointed toward the metal structure, "We could probably squeeze through the vents. We're both pretty slim so it shouldn't be a challenge. Your call though, I'm following your lead." It was Felix's endeavor after all, he might as well lead the mission.

While Felix's dragapult did recon, Oscar would listen carefully to his associate's intel. As he capped off, Oscar turned his head toward some empty space next to him. "Did you hear that Emma?" The empty space shimmered as Oscar's Ariados dropped her Camouflage. The shadow pokemon twitched as it nodded in agreement, gathering thread from her thorax as if rolling up a rope.

Oscar sneered, "Emma my secret stealth weapon. Her shadow abilities will prove useful in keeping us undetected. She can use her webbing to take out any cameras that should appear in our path, and her toxin can knock out any guards we may encounter." Emma finished rolling up her thread-rope, attaching an end to the edge of the roof and leaping toward the RTV building. Her Camouflage once again hid her form, and as the webbing detached from the roof one could barely see her using it to swing toward the HQ.

Oscar pulled out a pokeball to release his own Dragapult: Razor. He would be using it to get over to the HQ roof when the time came, its naturally stealthy movements should prove adequate enough for a short distance flight. Oscar looked to Felix, "I'm ready when you are. Hopefully your dragapult doesn't run into any trouble."

As Felix jumped into his Dragapult's portal, Oscar would mount up onto Razor. He could see where Felix popped up from where they were floating, so he silently pointed their way. With nary a noise Razor would Phantom Force his way to the rooftop, popping out right next to Felix. Oscar jumped off Razor immediately, sending him back into his pokeball as quickly as he could.

Oscar peeked out next to Felix, taking note as he discovered a small moving camera right over the rooftop entrance. "It's over the entrance. As long as Emma notices..." With almost comical timing, a purple web suddenly enveloped the camera's lens. Oscar smirked, "Perfection. Now's our chance." 

Staying low, Oscar crept his way across the rooftop to one of the vent openings. As he made it, Oscar would pull a wrench out of his SPY UTILITY BELT™. He carefully began unbolting the vent covers, trying his best to be quick without making any sound. When the bolts were all removed, Oscar carefully let the vent cover fall, using his hands to guide it gently to the ground. 

Their entrance was secured, but Oscar would wait for Felix before diving inside. Emma made no such courtesy, silently sneaking past her master to enter the vents.

Oscar followed Felix into the vent, feeling rather snug even with his slender frame. He slid along well enough, trying his best not to chuckle as Felix struggled to move ahead. Darn vents were not made for human occupation, especially those with his physique. They proceeded unimpeded though, eventually making their way to their exit--and first bodyguard.

It was no trouble luckily, Felix's Dragapult effortlessly slid out and took down the guard. With the guard out of the way, the group would be able to proceed forward to the exit vent on the other side of this floor. It should pop them out right by the stairwell where they could sneak down to grab the tape. Unfortunately, Oscar and his tools were at the very back of the procession, so it was up to Emma to open the vent. 

Emma's legs were as tough as knives, so it was not overly challenging to invisibly unscrew the vent. As the vent came loose, gravity would take hold and the vent would drop. Luckily Emma had unmatched reaction time, and managed to catch the vent with her webbing before it hit the ground. She lowered it gently, peeking her head out to see if any cameras were looking their way.

She nearly fell to the ground when she found one, though thankfully it was currently pointed away from their position. Emma gracefully dropped to the ground, crawling forward as the camera began to turn. Before it could catch a glimpse of them, Emma's Toxic Thread would wrap up the camera lens. With that crisis averted, Emma crawled to the door of the stairwell. Felix might catch a glimpse of her invisible form opening the door with some maneuvering with her webbing as he exited the vent. 

Emma slid into the stairwell, immediately webbing up an orb-like camera over the stairs leading downward. She would continue down stairs and web up the camera hanging over the entrance to the next floor. Their way down was clear.

Oscar thought they were home free by now, but of course it was never that easy. As they came closer to their destination, it was only natural for the danger to ramp up. It was, like, a law or something. Security was approaching, and Felix took charge of dealing with them. Oscar shimmied back and forth, looking around in a very mild panic as he tried to locate the cameras.

As soon as he found one he would point to it dramatically, and moments later Emma would appear to web it up before jumping back into Camouflage. Oscar whipped his head around, desperately searching for cameras. His blood was really rushing now, this truly felt like the climax of their heist--or something close to it.

Oscar peeked around the corner, just in time to watch Felix snap a guard's neck. Oscar winced, rubbing the back of his own neck as Emma took out the last of the cameras in the adjacent hallway. Oscar came up behind Felix, "We're running low on time. Which way's the archival room, just down here?"
