"underboss fiorelli has done exceptionally well. the league has weakened as a result which places us in an ideal position, one we will soon capitalize on. it does, however, highlight a similar issue we face: control."

a small stack of manila folders collaborated on with marcus kotov lays between them, each containing information pertaining to the likes of jayden cross, BARNABY FINCH, Zev Harcourt, and Elisabeth Fiorelli along with others, all of them avatars.

the final folder he offers is of declan walsh, its details are bare at best, but the way his lips curl into the faintest of smiles indicates that this isn't meant to be an interrogation but more so a segue into what he desires.

"i was hoping you could help me understand them better."

the boss' gloved hand rests atop the file. his face remains a stoic canvas, a kantonian slate doused clean by sootopolis brine.[break][break]

"you speak as if they are wholly separate." he says. "rattata to be studied beneath laboratory panes."[break][break]

the voice is devoid of color: a steady stroke of ink lacking divot or grain.

the ends of a metaphorical surgical-white laboratory coat brush against his shoes as he swings one leg over the other, finding a more comfortable position in an otherwise uncomfortable environment.

"not wholly separate, though their tether to team rocket remains the most susceptible to rotting. i intend not to let that happen.

"in our experience, fear shackles loyalty. but these avatars do not fear the same way we do." the same way i do. "how do we control those who think themselves untouchable?"

"it is quite simple really."[break][break]

walsh opens the manila of profiles. his finger runs across the stack, sensing its volume.[break][break]

"you bring attention to the shackles they already wear," he says, "and question the integrity of that bond. the bond between themselves and their patrons."[break][break]

he cuts his explanation short to allow the idea to diffuse.

he observes the rocket boss curiously, his intentions as clear as the shadows that command the office.

the idea diffuses almost too easily.

"and what of your bond with darkrai?"

"and they desire to pick a side." [break][break]

the boss flips through several pages: a portentous catalogue of loyalties.[break][break]

"team rocket or the league." he stays his hand. "i do not pretend to assume these pokemon apprehend mortal matters, but what we do inevitably affects the wider fate of this world on which they lay."[break][break]

is it truly that simple? to pick a side; team rocket or the league. he considers the thought.

"there have been exceptions."

remiel and katherine immediately come to mind, one more urgent than the other.

"if affiliation is one aspect, then what are the others? how does one curry favor or be deemed worthy of such a pact?"

he too thinks of Remiel Calcifet. katherine fairburne. the potential of others that may operate betwixt diluted lines.[break][break]

"i am of the belief that the legendary possess foresight and holistic knowledge beyond our perception," he says, "that they choose to conceal. they may suffer blindspots of their own."[break][break]

"in that sense, they are to us what we are to the other echelons of team rocket."

and in that same sense, they, too, suffer blindspots.

"interesting."

no answer they are willing to share, perhaps.

"then we will simply have to navigate within their blindspots and hope our affiliation is enough."

"of course. legendary, personnel, or otherwise, we will do unto them what we had done in kanto."

only now they will have to be more ruthless, less merciful, because the pieces have begun to fall, and as more continue to sway, they either have to be righted or removed from play entirely.

he fishes into his blazer for his journal, flipping it open as they arrive at those to be marked.
