The storm clouds stop before your ship. From the cumulous cover, a THERIAN THUNDURUS emerges with crackling lightning coursing from its knotted tail. What does it want? It does not look pleased.

Dock her pay? She laughs. At least he's warming up enough to tease. She doesn't commit to any work in Rocket for the money, though additional resources are nice. Her company really takes care of it anyways. She gets more out of this from a research angle, as well as a networking one. Getting to know Seraphim slowly is its own reward, though he can be prickly. She'd like to see what kind of research he gets into some day...[break][break]

"Wait," she says as the end up in a dead end. "Did you say the hands of God?" He couldn't be serious. She did not want to see a simulation of Arceus break her only solace in a simulated chunk of space. She shivered as she got off the Cyclizar, turning to face the Genesect that could no longer be avoided. "Sounds like a horrific simulation. Why are some of the scenarios so violent?" [break][break]

Case in point: the genesect. But the city blacks out all of a sudden, and it's the perfect opportunity to see the next scenario RKS cooks up. "Onto part two," she says hurriedly as she scatters out of the alley, waiting for the simulation to blend into a new scenario.

Lulu is unflappable in the face of the butcher's rage, bringing a smile to Ameena's face. She looks around the kitchen at Lulu's observation, wondering if something will stand out to her. But the man charges. Munna puts the man to sleep with a yawn just as Ameena grabs his forearm to keep the blade from coming down. He's fast, but she's too well-trained to flinch. The scene swirls away before them, reshaping into a cemetery. [break][break]

The headstone ahead of her bursts into a spiral of souls. "Ah, pokemon constructed of many pieces were a special interest of my doctoral advisor." She hadn't found it particularly interesting at the time. Exeggcute, Falinks, Dugtrio. She had never cared much for the grouping. Her advisor had published a thesis about Spiritomb counting among them because of the distinct count of spirits contained within that all Spiritombs had as a constant.[break][break]

As a soul came rather close to her individually, she reached a hand out to grasp it, ever curious of the sensation it would offer.

It is a first for her to launch RKS and find herself on a pokemon. The area is gorgeous, though she does not recognize it. "This is one of the nicer simulation beginnings." She said it with amusement, looking to her partner to see how he felt about it. She had no idea how familiar he was with the simulation, but she only had a few under her belt. [break][break]

Of course, as soon as she says it, a Genesect comes above to mow them down. She shakes her head. The simulation changes and stays the same.[break][break]

"Cyclizar will outperform Genesect's speed, but it has advanced tracking. Our best bet is to cut up in the alleys." She does not wait for him to confirm before taking a sharp dive to the left to evade the Genesect.

She would be lying if she said Seraphim's silence this time around wasn't getting on her nerves. It was making paranoia bubble up inside, but she didn't comment on it. She took a picture of the research and pocketed it for later examination. "I think I have found all we can parse from this ship. The other writings are nonsensical or too faded to read." She wasn't all too experienced with runic writing anyways, and the longer notes were in a language she couldn't interpret. [break][break]

She walked back towards him to leave the quarters when she heard the softest cracking sound. She dropped down low instinctively, crouch-walking to the doorway to peek. Was there a cannibalistic megalopolan here? Instead, she saw a clutch of eggs that had hatched, but no pokemon were there. But that had to be what she heard. So where...? [break][break]

A flash of purple from outside the ship, seen only through rotted slats of the ship wall, told her all she needed to know. "There is a nagandel outside." Her voice was strained. If its poipoles had hatched, there was no telling what it would do to protect them.

Her previous trips in the simulation had been dark and cosmically terrifying. She was, naturally, eager to get Lulu's interpretation of things. So of course, the simulation spat out the most ordinary setting. "Really?" She intoned with obvious boredom. "Why open with slowpoke tails?"[break][break]

They were unappetizing. She preferred curry to something as bland as slowpoke tails. She wasn't turned off by the squishier texture, but she couldn't justify wasting time on something flavorless. The simulation was all about choices, and it was easy to say no. "Figure the tails out yourself," she said with little interest. She was trying to remind herself mid-simulation that the consequences were not real. It was much easier to do so when you weren't looking at deities. [break][break]

"I did not realize the simulation could produce mundane scenarios. My previous experiences were filled with Unown and monstrous abnormalities."

Ameena nodded as Leilani confirmed her thoughts: it was time to leave. Her blastoise did an excellent job fighting the horde back and jetting water everywhere to cover their exit. "Get those rocks out of the way," she ordered Edith, who used lumina crash to break the disrupted rock pile that blocked them from a faster exfil. [break][break]

Edith issued a long, low cry as she followed. "There are more coming," Ameena translated. She knew her Espathra wanted to stay and fight them all, ever blood-thirsty, but this was not the time. "No need to engage anything else. We want to avoid drawing attention our way to prevent pokemon interference on the equipment." It wasn't totally clear if she was requested Leilani draw her pokemon back or if she was calming down her Espathra. [break][break]

"There we are." The exit bathed them in light, forcing her to squint. She had adjusted to the darkness of the chasm and its ambient tera crystal lighting too quickly.

Leilani is capable. [break][break]

She's also communicative. It doesn't take a lot to check Ameena's boxes for a good colleague. Rather, it's surprising how many do not measure up. But she has been pleasantly surprised with how frequently Rocket hands her capable people. She's met more than her fair share of peers, even arguably mentors, for science despite her healthy accomplishments in the field. More than that, she's met her equals and her betters in combat, despite her military training and discipline. [break][break]

"It is almost finished..." Ameena clicked a few buttons on the device until it evened out in beeping to something slower. It was working. "I have it! All set," she reported back, turning to assess the situation Leilani was facing. "We just need to finish the crowd and then exfil." [break][break]

She siccs her Espathra and Honedge on the horde, though Honedge never strays far from Ameena, so she has to walk pretty close to paradox mons to get the most value out of her team. "If you can sweep them away with some water, we can leave quickly and avoid drawing further attention to the equipment."

Ameena's glad she whistled. Amoonguss appeared behind her, only detected because of the tell-tale scent of its spore it spat out into the environment. Ameena rolled to the side to avoid the brunt of it, unsure what kind of spore attack it was. Edith was back, charging at the mushroom pokemon with quick attack to push it back. The stubborn Amoonguss barely moved, and it did not turn and flee. Ameena was intrigued by the stubborn pokemon. It's spore attacks would give it the ability to alter behaviors... something she could study. Before her Espathra could keep harassing it, she tossed a pokeball out.

[attr="class","ameena"]

[attr="class","body"]

The overqwil horde caught her interest immediately. She was curious about the group psychology of sea pokemon. Poison types tended to be standoffish. It was hit or miss if they ever had a group mentality, but mostly, they were a prickly bunch. Literally, in this circumstance. [break][break]

There was an unusual amount of shiny ones in the crowd below. If she squinted, the colors blended together pleasantly, though it would likely be some overrated abstract piece named something stupid like splatsville. Abstract was too juvenile. She didn't really go for sea creatures in general, but overqwil were interesting enough on their own. She liked pokemon that could be prickly. Personality was welcome.
