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.

Autumn would be great, actually. We'll be doing my mine heist at the end of August and I don't know what everyone else has planned, but it'll *probably* be September by the time the PGC is organized enough to have their meeting, so that's Tyler's raid--but yeah, October or November, either one could be good. Check around to see if any else has something planned first, though. Because if they do, we'll want to make sure they don't overlap and that they're done in entirely different locations.

If you need any help organizing things, you can always ask me. I've got a lot of practice with putting heists together.

Roger that! I'll check around and see what I can do, but November sounds like it might be great. I think leading my own heist might be great and would be just the thing to help me start feeling like I'm slowly rising. I'll make sure to triple-check everything about my planning, though!

And I'll definitely run some of the details by you. I want it to go great!

It's good to start brainstorming now. The more time you have to think things through, the more time you have to catch those flaws in your planning.

If your heist/scheme goes well and you haven't otherwise made private, I say you should use it to request a rank up. It's the kind of initiative they like to see--though I know you can still get promoted without leading your own heist if you play a key part in someone else's. (That's how Steve P made private--when Dirk lead us on the big lapras heist, he had Steve P be the one to attack the lapras' keeper and secure him away so he couldn't interfere.)

I'm already on it. I've got a notepad right here, and I'm jotting down all the details right now. I'll message ya later with a little synopsis and you can make sure that I haven't messed up anywhere, but the basics right now involve isolation and illusion.

Private...you really think they might? That'd be great! That's the goal!!! I'd like to try to make moves with everyone else's heists as well, but the more work-proof I get the better. I think. As long as I keep my wits about me.

Put in the work and they will in time. It's all just a matter of showing the admins that you're reliable, but also not afraid to take initiative.

Isolation and illusion are great tools. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
