Hey there, kiddos, hope you're all staying out of jail!

Nah, I know ya are. Good for you.

[Jack is calling from a nondescript hotel room, it looks like.]

So who wants to join me in taking advantage of how nuts it is in Ecruteak right now to steal a shitton of Pokemon?

Cuz that's what I'm gonna be doing! Opportunity, scrubs, it's not just an awesome city I was building!

Man I miss my city.

[The SQUIP is... frustrated by the fact that it can no longer see ahead, plot out the probability of a favorable outcome for any of its choices. But earning the respect of an elder member of an organization is typically a safe bet for one's security within that organization, and security is what it needs right now. If whoever programmed this "game" intends for it to be a part of this group, it would serve it best to try and fit in, wouldn't it?

It's sitting in its assigned room, in its Rocket uniform outside of its mask and hat; it smirks faintly, inclines its head.]

Name the time and place, and I'll be there.

Alright, got a taker! Nice to see somebody with a little ambition around here.

Ecruteak city, around the tower... I'm thinking just after sundown. Plenty of people out for the show all jostling together, lots of confusion happening, cover of darkness...

It's prime grounds for some old fashioned pocket ball snatching!

Are there any particular targets of interest, or is the goal simply to take everything we can?

[It seems indifferent-- it really doesn't care either way. It mostly just needs to know how narrow its focus should be.]

Rare Pokemon are always a good grab, but nah, if ya can nab a ball, do it.

You got any pickpocket skills or anything?

I'll keep an eye out for anything that looks... interesting.

I have been learning. It isn't difficult to do; people are... easily distracted, particularly in times of duress.

[It may be new to this, and not really have much of its own direct interest in practicing it... but that doesn't mean it won't set out to be the best at it anyway.

Even though it might not operate as though it were a machine anymore, it can certainly still try to keep up its record of flawless execution of the commands it is given.]

You get what we're going here!

Alright, New Kid, I look forward to seeing what you do.

I'm Jack, by the way, Handsome Jack. And I outrank you all by a lot.

[Well. It doesn't need its quantum processor to be able to read this individual. It also can tell that this man isn't the type to be interested in knowing much more about it, unless he thinks he could use that information somehow, or just wants to make fun of it, probably... so it doesn't offer any name in return. Not that it truly has one the way he does, in the first place.]

I'll keep that in mind. [Even if it isn't sure just how true that may be.] It's been a pleasure meeting you, sir.

[It isn't certain yet how he responds to formality... but it's fairly sure he'll enjoy, if nothing else, the submission implied, the recognition of his supposed rank.]

'Mr. Jack' is just fine!

And you'll be seeing a lot of me. Unless ya get your ass caught, then you're on your own. I take care of my people, but if you're dumb enough to end up in jail....

That's a you problem.

Uhhhhh..Ecruteak huh...

[Carly's...Obvious anxiety of course can be assumed to be linked to the fact that it's a Big City; as far as her reports convey, she's more for heavy planning and en-route jobs.

Well. That's what the reports imply anyway. Regardless- it WOULD be the first...Disaster heist.

Carly deflects.] ...You called your city Opportunity..?

Yeah, get your ass over there.

That's what I said. Because that's what it was - an opportunity for a better way of life!

I already got my quota th-

Oh wait this is for me huh... [She's. Just cluing in to the fact that maybe, just maybe, Jack wants her to steal...For Personal Reasons.

WELP] That makes sense! I mean, it makes more sense than naming it after a dead guy or something...

What, you wanna be average your whole life? Show some initiative.

When you look good, I look good.

That's the stupidest thing to name a city after.

Of course not..! [She takes offense!]

It's just one of those things I keep forgetting is an option... [Or at least, one of the things she deliberately decides Isn't.

But that's not...an option now huh.] Just where are we meeting for this anyway..?

[She's resigned herself already.......................]

By the hotel.

And remember to disguise yourself, we're a secret organization.

Gotcha...

And-!

Hey! What do you take me for! You were even the one who trained me..! [OF COURSE SHE'S GOING TO DISGUISE HERSELF!! :[[ ]

Doesn't hurt to remind ya, don't take it personal. Everybody needs reminders now and again.

[Carly pauses and remembers that the last time they spoke over these things, someone was arrested for being an idiot.

She slowly nods.] ....That's a good point, yeah.

Well, I'll be making sure to do it right!

Thatta girl!

I'll see ya in a little bit.

SURE THING~!

[she's going to Die.]

Hm. Am I to assume you're in Ecruteak, or are you proposing a bit of a roadtrip?
