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.

Indeed! However, should we bumble about like fools, it will contrastly bolster their confidence in pursuing our destruction. I know I need not say this, but for the sake of prudence I will: whatever scheme we concoct must needs be foolproof. Well do you and I both know while many within our rank are capable, there are those with damning flaws and a penchant for being shortsighted and reactionary.

Chaos needs to be bred within the ranks of our enemies, not within ourselves. Proper chaos is best sown through carefully laid planning and structured execution. Particularly chaos that should yield the desired results.

We must plan around such possible shortcomings and unreliable variables within our own allies, ere we lead any such charge.

Say, if you were so concerned about those messing things up. Then perhaps having something of a decoy to divert their attention would do some good?

Admittedly I am the newest here, but I do have quite a history of dealing with this kind of nonsense and it's not as if they would be able to get much out of me if they wished to capture and attempt some form of interrogation.

And I'm quite sure I could frustrate them long enough to string along to keep them diverted.

That's actually a fantastic idea. Having someone ready to take the fall in a worst-case situation to distract from other people escaping.

[Tyler has no real-world experience in these matters, is it obvious?]

If you need some stronger Pokemon to make it more convincing, we could lend you some for the event.

[speedweed]

[Tyler, you're honestly exceedingly easy to realize that.

To a real criminal, anyway.]

I suppose you could see it like that, but either way I doubt it'd be much of a problem. If the violence thing is correct, then there's little they could truly do to me that I haven't seen and experienced before.

And I guess? Whatever might be the better plan in this scenario, I know little about these creatures to begin with.

[He is but a humble writer, in the end.]

If you're not opposed, then, I might get in contact with you later to get your opinion on what I draft. It's useful having multiple eyes on a script, I find.

[asmywitness]

Consider this less of a formal announcement of war and more of a show of interest for those who'd be willing to entertain it. I'll be looking into how we should go about this far more intensely in the near future.

But you've lead me quite thoroughly to believe that you're well and truly experienced in the art of undermining nations and mental conquest. I wouldn't be opposed to your input.

[Sorry Steven, he supposes?]

not here

[ Look, if Hades wants to blunder into something big and showy, that has the potential to blow up in everyone's faces, he's welcome to do it.

Steven learned his lesson with the baseball heist. Mayhem might be fun, but not getting the Jennies on their asses is much more important. He'll be perfectly fine playing the long game and subverting the organization from within. ]

also not here

[asmywitness]

[This is why he said you were uninvited, bro. You keep doing you on the smart side, Tyler will be here doing things for the Rocket side.]

still not here

[fingersandteeth]

[And he'll do his best to protect you if/when this all blows up on you.]
