"We will be at the 'Miss' stage....For the forseeable furture, unless something drastic changes...." He explained to her with a smile, but he listened to her desires, and he thought about it. She wanted to know what made a Head Scientist worthy of the title. The truth was....Amor often wondered if he was worthy of it....Of Erebus....He had spoken to howard slayte about worthiness once, he didn't think he was the right person to help, but if she could learn from his mistakes then maybe the path he paved would make her future easier.

"That is an interesting question....Well....I don't think I can tell you what makes someone worthy of the title....My colleague Miss Naomi Sato is an avatar after all...." With the God's alphabet at her beck, and call no less. "Compared to her I'm not all that special....Even my predecessor Lulu Flint was an avatar, and in some ways far more capable than me. Don't tell her I said that...." Even oscar clayton had managed to get Zapdos with his ingenuity. Compared to them....Amor wasn't anything, he felt the crushing weight of having to prove to himself if nothing else that he was worthy of it all sometimes.

"However I'll do my best to answer any, and all your questions....As for socializing....That sounds nice....How about I give you a tour of my lab? You can poke, and prod around, see if something catches your fancy. I can tell you about my most recent ventures while there, and you can look at me the same way Makoto Kurumi does sometimes...." He said with a laugh, and he summoned his Gallade. "You're okay with Teleporting places right? My fun lab isn't on the submarine...."

He just smiled at her.

"I've seen worse things than what that place could ever show me...." He didn't expound upon that, and instead he placed a handle gently on her shoulder, and with a nod to his Gallade they were whisked away with Teleport to the Lab that he had shown his Nebula Agents when they first formed the team. It was safe away from Sootopolis, hidden in plain sight so if that should fail his work wouldn't be lost.

"You'll find that truth is often stranger than fiction...." He said with a smile, and he turned his face from hers to hide a wince of pain from his sides. Exhaling softly he began to walk through the large open space, there were no walls so everything was on display for her to see.

There were three larger than average Vespiquen being preserved in special containers against one wall. In the center where the largest amount of floor space was allotted was scrap metal, it looked mostly melted as if it had been doused in concentrated heat for a long time. Not even the NeverMeltIce Cooling system remained in contact, and there was nothing salvageable about it, but still it was there. On the opposite wall of the Vespiquen she could find four display cases each one with a slightly different suit in it, they all resembled his current Seraphim armor, though some were damaged from various things.

There was a large computer array that would make most people weep, with nine connected screens in a perfect three by three pattern. In front of it was a Metagross, and a Porygon-Z as well seemingly operating them running tests, or simulations. There were works in progress, and a few other things scattered about, but nothing eye catching at first glance.

"Welcome to my slice of paradise....While I do some work on the Submarine, it doesn't quite have a big enough space for the things I like to do, and the sorts of things I like to build....See anything that catches your interest?"

"One of my first missions here back when I was a grunt, and nothing special....Still trying to find my footing was to investigate a hive of Combee. With the help of one Cillian Quinn, I managed to procure those three specimens. They were infected with Primal Energy, which is part of my expertise you know? Along with dynergy, infinity energy, and now Terastal." He expressed to her with a chuckle. "They are memento's to remind me of how far I have come since I joined Rocket...." Though he was confident that even if he never joined Rocket he would have made it just as far, the road would have just been far rockier.

"As for what I build, whatever tickles my fancy, but that incredibly expensive pile of scrap you see over there, is my latest project. Well it was I should say....That's all that remains after the testing. It was suppose to be a wormhole generator, designed to use Primal Shards, and Crystals to rip open holes in reality to traverse the multiverse as we know it." He explained to her leading her over to the now defunct machine. "However procuring a constant source of Primal Energy is very troublesome....So I thought to myself....Why not a Tera Shard? And well it worked sort of...." The memory made him grimace in pain, and he straightened up so as to not agitate his wounds further.

"I managed to summon a false titan, the one I've been hoping to gain for myself, but it tried to eat me....Had howard slayte, Makoto Kurumi, and Tempest Quinn not been there....Well we wouldn't be having this conversation more than likely....I'm fifty percent on summoning gods now at the very least." He shrugged, and smiled at her as if that was just something normal. "I still have to write a report on that, so you're the first to hear about it for now...."

He just smiled a bit at her words.

"I do....My Porygon-Z, Jarvis, manages all the calculations along with Mercuria, my Metagross...." He expresses to her with an easy smile, but it's her next couple of statements that make him chuckle. "You sound like Makoto Kurumi...." They were always worried about him getting himself killed, and perhaps one day he would. There was a non-zero chance that he would slip up, and not even his most powerful pokemon would be able to bail him out. However he would endeavor to take every precaution necessary to prevent that outcome.

"False Titan as in....I'm not sure if the being I conjured was the real one or not, it was missing it's core....It also tried to eat me...." He shrugged a bit, and the motion caused him to grimace in pain a little. Though he did his best to hide it. "If I'm to push the boundary of science, then I can't allow myself to be afraid of a little thing like death....It is merely a limitation that should be overcome...." Death was the great equalizer, and he knew that. No one, and nothing could escape it, but what if there was a way? What if you were able to reverse everything, to rewrite reality....

To him death was just another obstacle that needed to be overcome for his goal, and he would overcome it. There was no denial of what doing so might cost him in the long run, but he had already resolved to do whatever it took.

"You don't need to worry for me Ms. Abadi, I assure you that all of my mental faculties are fully intact, and functioning. I am sane if that is what's troubling you...." Which is something that an insane person would probably say, but from his point of view, he was. To an outside perspective however, he might not seem all there....

ameena abadi

"I can't tell you if I do or not....Not many complain to me...." He shrugged a bit, and moved on past her comment about 'sane people'. As far as he was concerned he was sane, far more sane than he should be.

"Hmmmm that's an interesting question....Typically I see what the other person is trying to achieve, determine if I'll be of any help, and then try....Otherwise it just has to interest me enough to want to be part of it. If it's not interesting to me, then I simply won't...." As capricious as that might sound, he wasn't going to be part of something that would bore him to tears. He wanted to forge ahead into unknown territory, explore the vastness of their world, and others. In order to do that, he couldn't spend his time idly doing the same thing others did.

While he respected all fields, he preferred working with those that weren't afraid to peer into the abyss, and wouldn't flinch when it stared back.

"I'm relatively easy to entice though....So don't be afraid to ask...." He said to her with an easy smile, and it wasn't a lie. Amor enjoyed working on things with others. "Though I'm a bit pickier on who I ask to help me with my own things....So far I've only really asked three others to work with me on my projects. They are Team Nebula...." It wasn't a name that he had picked, but the others liked it, so he didn't raise to much of a fuss. "They help me, and in turn I help them back in whatever way I can."

ameena abadi

She wanted to know what was in his dreams huh? That made her special because not even Amor wanted to know those contents, but he was forced to know. He didn't respond to that for the moment, he was wary letting a stranger see inside of him.

"They came up with the name....I don't mind it...." He admitted, it made the trio happy, and even if he outwardly was stoic about it, he liked it too. "They are invaluable to me, two of them are brilliant researchers in their respective fields. The last one though, is one I consider my personal protégé. They may not have the same book smarts as I do, but their battle prowess, and ability to gather intel is without parallel. Should I be out of commission they would be the one I trust Erebus with." He expressed to Ameena easily. He was sure Makoto Kurumi would die of embarrassment if they heard him praise them this way, but it was the truth.

Though his attention shifted easily when she mentioned that she was familiar with Alola. Of course she was one of three people he had thought to recruit to his little team. It was a very short list of people, due to how picky he truly was. However he wanted to spend more time with her to get to know her, and even before then he'd ask the other members. While he could include anyone he wanted with impunity, he did his best to not act like a total tyrant.

"Something tells me....We are going to be spending a lot more time together now Ms. Abadi...." A smile crossed his features. Such a font of knowledge was in front of him, and like a man dying of thirst who had been placed in front of an oasis, he would drink every drop.
