RED ALERT [text]

[conniemaheswaran]

Guys, I hate to bring down the mood, but we have a HUGE problem. Riku—you know, one of the very first trainers to arrive here, Aurora Leaguer, exceptionally powerful—that Riku apparently knows all about our operations in the Radio Tower. He's been keeping quiet about it, but with our increased activity and the organization of the Pokémon Guardian Corps there's a serious possibility he'll be conducting a raid in the future. He even mentioned it in a conversation with me, here's the proof.

[A video file containing a private conversation between Riku and Connie is attached.]

Everybody there, please please please PLEASE be careful (looking at you, Tio Steven) and see if you can't persuade the admins to move house or at least set up some countermeasures. This is bad news.

I mean there's the big Kanto base in Celadon.

You know, where the guy in charge of the PGC lives.

consider setting something up somewhere they literally have no intel on and wouldn't suspect, just let them stumble into that and realize things are way more widespread than they realize

I mean I could fake network traffic data no biggie; I am still working out what this Porygon can do so maybe it could help me idk

[conniemaheswaran]

I can lend you Case (my Porygon) if yours needs a tutoring, it's really damn good at its job.

[failgoyle]

Hey that might be good, I know Python would probably like to beep at another Porygon instead of listening to me mutter at things while drinking energy drinks

[conniemaheswaran]

I'll arrange a meeting of the minds, then. Case has picked up a few bad habits from Doomlord, my Rotom (do not ask how it got its name), but it's really damn good at its job. Python will learn a lot.

[failgoyle]

i mean I probably can't talk about bad habits, I'm teaching Python to play a midi of never gonna give you up so there is that

Python will probably learn something more useful here

[conniemaheswaran]

What are you talking about, introducing the wonderful world of Pokémon to Rickrolling is the most noble endeavor of all.

[failgoyle]

can't let my memes be dreams, gotta recreate the classics here so I can be properly amused when I hack things and leave behind calling cards

[conniemaheswaran]

I see you're a man of excellent taste on many fronts.

[failgoyle]

you only say that because you haven't known me for very long

but yes, yes I am

[fingersandteeth]

That's not actually a bad idea. Especially since I'm going to be doing my whole 'Guy Who Didn't Know He Was Working For The Mob' act. Maybe I could clue them into the place we set up?

Of course, that means we can't actually use it to *trap* them if I do that. Just to screw with their heads and give them bad data.

[failgoyle]

Exactly! Misdirection counts for a lot

and is also far more likely not to involve any actual punching and that sort of thing, it's safer

also probably easier to set up time and time again so when they do get a real lead it looks less legit, eventually we can feed them data from a point that is not immediately traceable to you

[fingersandteeth]

I mean some of us really do enjoy the opportunities for cathartic violence our membership in this organization affords us, but I know it's not for everyone.

But hey, that's why it's a good thing we've got a resident computers guy now. (Don't worry. We're not going to jeopardize you as an asset by putting you anywhere you'll be in immediate danger.)

[failgoyle]

that is all I ask, not going out to bash heads myself, I am not built for that, I don't think the Porygon is built for that, and I think the Scraggy is in for picking on something several times her size and getting her ass kicked at this rate

I can probably hack the jail to get access to get y'all out anyway so there is that

[fingersandteeth]

Now *that* would be useful. Think you could wipe their records of whichever one of us they arrested in the process?

[failgoyle]

like taking candy from a baby

[fingersandteeth]

*Excellent*.

(Please imagine me lacing my fingers together and saying that in my best Mr Burns voice.)
