Hah, Shiva obviously displays a 'Serves you right for attacking us like that!!' by averting her gaze to these steely figures as the gauntlets are finally dismantled. Azu and Yena mildly minic that gesture before coming to their Master to receive praise and honor for their bold interception, which the plentifully receive. Aww!~ "Spira, you're doing okay? Nothing hurt too badly, or is it? That Flame Burst from your side was a good move, hehe..." She smiles a bit creepily and playfully punches his shoulder once more in a comradely way. "Maybe once we're with the others again we can ask for a Heal Pulse." She herself is scratched up 5/9HP, swift and strong movements are painful, but it looks way worse than it is.
"Shall we NOW take a look at these crates on the wall? Alert me if you find anything of interest or that could give a hint to how to progress, I will of course do the same." Means, she'll investigate 1 1/2 of the 3 walls with little crates, Azu heps and Yena sniffs on them all for anything extraordinaire.
"Alright! Take that ya blasted contraptions!" Spira pumps his fist when the pistons get destroyed. "Now, where were we before that happened? Oh yeah, investigation time." Spira walks around the room investigating, making sure to steer clear of the gauntlet mechanism.

"Apart from still being a little cold, and that fire gauntlet having singed my favorite coat; a few minor scratches and light burns, but I'm fine."
That's good to know that he's fine, and still being a little cold means that Shiva does wordlessly take off her Ranger's cloak for him to throw over. (She'll want it back later though) That thing's superwarm and cozy and actually gender-neutral, only a little to small in size for him to really put on probably.
(What's the XP yield for that battle, Iron?)

The USB drives slide into the ports, on the third try of course. A little light on the drive lights up.

Perfect. Now Dagny's decryption software can do its magic and hopefully get her access to the information on the servers. Â
Time for Gallade to try Teleporting them back outside of the barrier.
Each of you get 10XP to divide, 5 for the trainer, +2 Heroism XP.
Nathan and Heart also get 2 Heroism XP for completing the USB drive quest.

That works too!
Heart, let me know if you take any Conditional Balls when you two leave the room.

Another part of that scenario still isn't done, however: Mr. Mime
So, there's two ways Nathan can help get Mr. Mime out of there right now if he doesn't wish to stay there any longer to assist them with freeing Oscar and Keni. If Mr. Mime wants to stay and help with freeing them, though, there won't be any complaints from Nathan! Â
One: If Mr. Mime isn't actually registered to any pokeballs, Nathan could register Mr. Mime to one of his and send him to Bill's PC (which should be a lot more comfortable than being trapped in a pokeball). And because it gets him out of there immediately without having to worry about any of Almanac's security, this is the easier of the two options.
Two: Nathan could show Mr. Mime how the group got in. However, Mr. Mime would likely be on his own for sneaking out at that point, so this is the harder of the two options. If he escapes without getting caught, though, he would be free without having to put a considerable amount of trust in Nathan, though. But if he is caught...that might cause some problems.
Which would Mr. Mime prefer (assuming option one works and Mr. Mime would rather escape instead of help further)?
These crates, unlike the ones upstairs, do contain items. A few are just boring things like office supplies. One contains 10 Poke Balls. One is full of miniature spy cameras. You also find some Held Items:
Delta Incense
Allows Delta Pokemon (of any kind) to breed true more commonly when held.
When held, it also slows down ALL Delta Pokemon on the field. This will affect Alolan forms as well.
League legal.
Hypno Monocle
When held by a Hypno, allows Hypno to detect lies.
Grants +1 Evasion to any Pokemon.
League legal.
Banettite
You know what this does already.
There's also a crate with an Almanac label on it and airholes poked in it. I'll let you decide whether to open that or not. It's about the size of a microwave oven.
As above, only a few crates are labeled.
"DELIVERY"
"UTENSILS (ALMANAC)"
"SPIGOTS"
