"Gladly. I think we have officers already nearby."

Jenny makes a call and waits while she finishes taking your statements and such.

"Officers are arriving on site. No one seems to be there, and there's no building yet so they don't need a warrant to look around."

"Officers have explored and documented the construction. They're emailing me a few photos, you can check them out if you like."

"Some footprints in dust have been found, including characteristic Absol spurred footprints. Footprints belonging to one human in boots. They seem to have walked the perimeter, mostly."

"Officers were approached by employees representing the site's owners. They're a big developing company, Pierce and Pearson. Known for boring, mining, and excavating in large quantities. They prep a site and then sell it to the highest bidder."

"Sounds like starting next week, there'll be guards on the property and no trespassers will be permitted. Our officers were politely asked to leave and thanked for the warning. Apparently P&P might ask the guards to start early."

"Found out the Absol and its new owner, a Hans Smith, were there with the knowledge of these supervisors. No contact information available."

"Officers are back on patrol, but we'll make sure there's a police presence nearby. We don't have enough for a warrant for further search, but hopefully we can avert any disaster in cooperation with P&P. No sign of Scimitars or hooded figures or captive trainers."

Hmmm...Hans Smith...

"...alright, I'll come over to the station now, then.  Any of the trainers who'd been kidnapped conscious?  I'd like to speak with them if possible.  And I definitely want to see those photos, too."

She emails the photos to Heart, giving you a very basic floor plan of the eventual base. It's essentially a footprint at this point.

When you get to the station, they show you to where Freddi, Bobbi, Taylor, and Elminster are conscious. Flora is apparently conscious but refusing all visitors. 

You trade your receipt for the Rainbow Relic, undamaged. 

At this point, your PTC is blinking again, signalling a nearby time jump.
