Oh. Mil- Milou hasn't been aware that the other knows sign language, but gladly switches to it. Also enables der Rotom to actually use its capabilities to its fullest, as it then emerges from the tablet to paralyse an Orthworm that dee would add to der army of them. Pink's a nice colour, dee signs back, a slightly pensive look on der face, Think it'll look good. Though frankly, der fashion sense isn't too great - the most fashion that seems acceptable is half of a copy of der sibling.

The Orthworm is successfully captured then, and dee turns back to Marvie - just seeing the disappearing silhouette of a Beldum. Der gaze blanks for a moment, before shaking off further thoughts in that direction. Dee really needs to get something done for that.

Oh, then we can tagteam! Fenelle signs in a late reply to Marvie's reply, a cheerful reply fading into the more underlying neutrality of knowledge that this is another Rocket - no need to uphold the other persona too much. Though Fenelle likes playing around with names, so there's that.

Another steel type would soon also emerge, perhaps in pursuit of its steel type friend from before ... Hope you don't mind if I grab that one?

Dee then signs for the Rotom to return inside the tablet for now, and instead takes out another pokéball. Let's see what you can do, dee signs at the Simisear, though a translation from the Rotom is needed for the ape pokémon to actually move. But as she does, the Forretress is swiftly weakened enough for an easy capture.

Metagross... The world's really out to get dem, Fenelle thinks to demself as dee then smiles and brushes past that. "Thought I could go and catch some new pokémon - with how the war's and all, I thought having more manpower on my team would be nice." That's probably what a normal civilian would think, right? "Are you also here to catch some pokémon?"

And the first ones seem to already be awakened by the autism gang's straying-off-the-path. Having der Poryphone nearby as an anchor for any straying, dee hasn't really thought too much about the rest of the gang - but there a Ralts comes floating, chased by an angry Frosmoth. Quickly, dee signs for der Magnemite and Vannilite to take care, and readies a pokéball for the capture.

Now, that's ... familiar, comfortable. Nothing to flinch at, nothing to question. Fenelle regards the Metagross, and even as it points its mind outward, dee knows what it keeps a close eye on their psychic link, too. A psychic link that is soon filled with excitement as dee spots a particular pokémon that dee has been looking out for to figure out a star mobile.

And without any further prodding needed, the Metagross barrels onward, taking the Revavroom out with perhaps too much energy, too much glee.

There's no immediate answer as to what the other intends to make - which is frankly fair, since Fenelle hasn't even asked in any sort of verbal manner. The other Rocket merely puts their ingredients down, while Fenelle waits like a loading screen before a realisation hits. A Rotom is swiftly woken up just in time to catch Kasper's actual answer to der question, a happenstance that actually surprised dem positively.

(Maybe there's something wired differently in the brain of bakers and pastry enjoyers.)

But before dee replies, there's also introductions to be made! Fenelle nods at Kasper's introduction, filing that name away in der people database. "Did you work in a café or bakery?" dee asks, actually a bit curious. It might or might not have been a thought in times past - a café, warm and cosy.

So utterly unfitting to that space deep below sea level.

"Could I watch you? I don't really manage to get them as I'd want them to ..." dee admits. Despite mastering most other things, it seems like scones really had it out for them.

Fenelle nods with a pensive expression on der face as dee looks up at the many cables, often suffering from bad isolation and crackling ominously. "Biology, right?" Mille asks then as they approach the abandoned power station further. "I wonder if one can adapt some laws of how we can even come here to something like energy ... like needing the same conditions, whatever the parameters might be ..." dee ponders.

What could be essential to the existence of energy in this world?

Mille nods at Nikola's words, gesturing for their Rotom to proceed - hand hovering the pokéball of der psychic pokémon, but instead taking one step towards the (overjoyed) Hisuian Goodra. A moment passed in silence before the Rotom zaps out of the building's power structures, reporting that it is indeed completely empty. "However, there's some documents in a room there that haven't been fried yet."

With a nod, Mille gestures inside - time to have a look at what there might be ... and surely enough, there's hastily scattered papers and clipboards, even broken devices that look like tablets.

Space almost seems to be a mandatory fascination for any Mossdeep native, and frankly, Fenelle isn't too different. Even if dee wonders more about the technology than the vastness of it, it's still a reason to marvel and contemplate. Especially since dee also got access to more data now with the Satellite Cozmo's newest batch that dee pulls up on der Rocket tablet with der Rotom inside of it.

Let's see what we could find here ... I think maybe this could be something? dee signs and wonders, circling some constellations.

GUESSING ★WlTr, ★Symb (might see abt unown matches later but terapagos seems like a match ... maybe?)

Fenelle nods in agreement - then frowns slightly, thinking about how one expedition to the border definitely has been rather accidental. "We're truly two lucky ducks," the Rotom translates der signs, its dry and neutral voice not quite conveying the sarcasm that flashes across Fenelle's face before a moment of vague terror.

They definitely need to find a way out, quick, or ... merely survive. "Alright, let's go- hope the other rocks won't evade as-" dee starts, but sees the big chunk ahead moving slightly. "Giddy up!" Fenelle hurries, switching stones before it could drift apart. Immediately upon landing, dee turns around quickly to see if Diana's already made it or needs a helping hand (that's attached to kinda-weak nerd arms, but pshh).

Fenelle nods at Eustace's words, before taking more of a lead through the forest areas - not der strong suit, frankly, as dee needs to be extremely careful not to be noisy. However, given the Rotom's display of the current noise levels, it does seem like there's movement in the foliage as well that dee points out to the other with der pointer directing the other's gaze at the screen.

Lots of movement around us, but all by small creatures. Seems like they might be heading this way - where the rune scratches were sighted. Also do you know if laurel's growing naturally in here?

There's several branches that are shaped like the infamous laurel wreath - and dee wonders what that could mean.

Like clockwork, their movements are following predetermined pattern and plans that have been established before. Like clockwork, another enemy appears - one that Fenelle does harbour fondness towards, but not enough to actually consider its capture.

This time, like reflex, a psychic ping. And Fenelle doesn't think to deny the familiar touch, as it settles gently and the Klang is taken out swiftly.

Ultra Plant is always a rather ... electrifying experience. Fenelle takes a moment to take the feeling of constant lightning and an air filled with electricity in, before turning to Nikola who's with dem on today's mission. "I've been here before, so let me know if you have any questions," dee offers, though dee also doesn't really doubt that the other will fare just fine, as long as they don't get seperated - there's strength in numbers, especially in alien landscapes.

Der Hisuian Goodra is out on the field, as well as der Rotom in its usual tablet to translate. The dragon type's standing quite close to Fenelle, though a click of der tongue makes the Goodra back off a little bit to scout a bit ahead - dee would like to take out Grimmsnarl, but dee knows how unfond he is of this environment, so dee leaves it be for now. "The entrypoint's actually really close to the power station - it's just up ahead," Fenelle remarks, quickening der steps a bit as dee sees the silhouette that's been outlined in the mission debrief.

"Do you think it'll be possible to redirect energy from here to our dimension?" dee then suddenly ponders - though it sounds ridiculous, but truly, what doesn't sound ridiculous when literal gods descend and pick favourites?

The quaint village of Verdanturf. It's strange how you meet people again, and dee definitely wouldn't have expected that the two of them would actually end up doing something like a mission together, far from it. And the mission content itself is also ... dee sceptically looks at Porygon, as dearly as dee cares for it. Did it spin nonsense, even if dee has never really experienced it doing that?

"And you're sure that they talked about livestock getting ... abducted by Beeheyems?" Fenelle asks Xuying, slightly stunned and also conveniently hiding away the aggression dee has felt when they were face to face with each other at the data centre. Frankly, the slightly absurd but also unsurprising news is doing Arceus' work as distraction as the two of them (and the more of them) watch over the fields with grazing Wooloo.
