Oscar was thankful that Felix wanted to get straight to business, he had run out of things to compliment. His last resort was the motivational poster behind Felix, which while admittedly adorable was not really compliment worthy. 'Gee what a nice poster!', Oscar would have sounded like a tool!

He was more than happy to move on, and nodded as Felix opened their SPECTRA discussion. "Right, I was tasked with providing training to simulate a battle with an Avatar. While not an Avatar myself, Remiel believed that Genesect's sheer strength could simulate the same pressure one would feel while battling a legendary pokemon. I've had a few--successful training sessions in the past. I have yet to perfect it though."

Oscar's training had created promising results, but at the expense of the mental stability of the tested grunts. For some reason, many felt that being hunted by a killer robot was a less than soothing experience. Oscar could not quite find a balance between pushing their boundaries and providing teachable moments, but he was working on it! At least he was when that as still his job in SPECTRA.

On that note, Oscar would continue. "Genesect has been shown to be at the very least capable of confronting a patron legendary one on one, though it has yet to actually defeat one. Regardless, I still believe using Genesect for combat training scenarios to be a valuable experience and resource. It is up to you if it continues, otherwise I am willing to fill any role should you choose to keep me within the SPECTRA initiative." 

Only now did Oscar get slightly nervous, his heartrate quickening as he awaited Felix's response. He did not wish to be kicked out of SPECTRA, but he wondered if Felix would find Oscar as useful as Remiel did. Despite his rising nerves, Oscar remained calm and collected--all thanks to that poster behind Felix.

Yes, he was going to hang in there.

Felix prompted a question, and Oscar unflinchingly answered. "Volunteers would be placed in a controlled environment and be given a mission to complete. These missions ranged from simple search and seizure to repairing complex machinery. To simulate the stress of combating an avatar in the field, I instructed Genesect to hunt the volunteers as they did their missions. If caught a volunteer would be forcefully relocated back to the starting location, where they could observe the rest of the exercise."

Oscar shifted in his seat, his serious expression unchanging as he attempted to find a more comfortable position. This chair did not provide much lumbar support. "Results were mixed. Volunteers were instructed to act without pokemon or external powers, leaving their own capabilities as their greatest resource. Unfortunately, compared to a Genesect most humans lack the survival skills to complete the training. Johanna Joy was the exception, but we both know how useful that information is currently."

Oscar let that statement hang for a bit, he was so disappointed in Johanna's desertion. She had such potential, but it could hardly be helped now. They would just have to hope the league would fail to recognize that potential. Oscar continued, "I was in the middle of reworking the training when Remiel defected. Since then all of my SPECTRA duties have been on hold."

On that note, Oscar waited patiently to hear what Felix thought of this information.
