his porygon inner workings click and whir as it tries to breach a nearby communicator's signal. once this first hurdle is cleared, the rest of the job should be simple: gather information, mislead, then leave.

heat radiates off the overworked normal-type, but it finally connects with a quiet, confirming beep. static crackles in marcus' earpiece as porygon becomes the middleman between him and communicating league forces.

the static on marcus' earpiece eventually clears out. the quality is a bit worse than the crisp clear radio communications that the people he would be spying on were experiencing, but the words were decipherable still.

a voice that people who watch mainstream hoenn can be recognized.

"-so yeah, lunch is late. there's already a lot of complaining around. can you do something about it?"

unbeknown to the person tapping into the conversation, it was the caller that instigated the whining and complaining on the other side. most didn't care at all, especially since there's bigger things to worry about.

marcus sighs, reaching up to pinch the bridge of his nose and feeling his fingers brush against his visor instead. this is what they use their comms for? to complain about lunch? he doesn't recognize kyle lopez by the sound of his voice — as far as he's concerned, it could be any hungry league officer speaking. [break][break]his porygon beeps. he tries to wait out the lunch conversation. [break][break]

the voice on the other side of the line seemed frazzled. it's normal, given that an issue that shouldn't be one is made into one.

"s-sir, i don't think we can share any more information about the cause of your problem."

"huh? why is that?"

"um, i can't tell."

or rather, the agent from the call center wasn't sure how to approach the situation. the frequency was compromised, and they weren't sure if revealing that they are aware was better or not.

another voice. they sound nervous, stuttering their uncertainty about continuing their lunch conversation. marcus realizes he is as compromised as their comms are, but he supposes there are worse ways to find out than the sudden confidentiality of kyle lopez 's lunchtime problems. [break][break]
"are they tracing us?"
[break][break]
the porygon lets out a series of rhythmic beeps and the answer begins to materialize on his phone screen: [break][break]Y - E - S[break][break]

being compromised was the least of kyle's problems. keeping secrets was a joke at this point, and kyle doesn't seem to take it seriously as others would have.

"that doesn't matter."

"what do you mean, sir?"

"it's not like it's rare for people to switch sides every time."

"y-you can't say that!"

"hey, maybe one of them is switching right now, bringing along their radio with our frequency in it."

he expects hellfire to rain down once his signal is traced, but instead the league continues to talk. it feels like psychological warfare, somehow, to listen to kyle lopez continue on about lackadaisical faction swapping, but he prefers it over the champion finding his location and pulling up on him. [break][break]but — every time? he lingers on the statement too long.[break][break]"reroute and send out a distress signal from someone else's line."[break][break]blissful silence, interspersed with the occasional and less pleasant dial-up tone his porygon makes, follows.[break][break] the normal-type verges on overheating a few times, but eventually taps into someone else. maybe they're trying to get past an obstacle inside the cave, or maybe they're one of the officers succumbing to mid-afternoon hanger — either way, their comms begin to ping for help.

the source signal changes. the champion's ridicule of circumstances distracts the operator from the other line to notice at that moment, as their chitchat lasts for a few more exchanges before they were made aware of the rerouting.

"sir, i think we lost them."

"them?"

"sir, the rockets that tapped in the frequency..."

"oh, that's too bad."

"we found someone else though."

"send a signal. let's see if we can send a message back."

they're exposing themselves at this point, but kyle thinks it shouldn't matter all too much. with too many literary tools the other side can exploit for the narrative, they'll be able to accomplish anything should they want to anyways.
