[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Heart show his tongue. "I dont have reason to be polite with her. This is the least she deserve. And Calam agree with me too."

He's right, Calam agrees! Juni doesn't seem to think any of those strategies would help her, though.

Other questions? Have you decided what to do with Juni?

"...I wouldn't say that's the least she deserves..."

He sighs again.

Anyways...

Nathan doesn't really have any more questions for Juni at the moment.  He does, however, have to talk with Detective Thrawn real quickly about what to do with Juni.

"...before I ask you for your opinion on what to do with this Scimitar scum, I should give you a quick update on what happened on our side of the battle.  Informed decision and all that."

Gallade swaps places with Nathan to keep an eye on Juni and Calam.  Nathan, meanwhile, heads over to Detective Thrawn to talk to him without Juni eavesdropping.

Spoiler

In short, Nathan gives Thrawn a brief summary of what transpired for his group's side of the battle and how the Police captured 12 of the Scimitars and rescued everyone besides the campers (who'd already been dropped deep in Earthstar Forest) already, then transitions into why he and his pokemon are so angry with her.

"...my Absol over there is cross with her because he's the one who got his face driven into the dirt and permanently scarred by the Nidoqueen that had been turned against us.  It almost killed him, and the cleanup wasn't pretty.  It was a very good thing we had a Max Potion on hand."

"...as for why I'm angry with Juni...well, first of all, she almost killed one of my pokemon.  Indirectly, but she was still one of the causes.  And also...something I didn't tell you before is who exactly they were targeting in the Ruins.  The man they were atacking is named...Marco.  Marco Warren.  My father.  And he's apparently on official League business, too...wish I'd known that earlier, to be honest...*ahem*...she, uh...also callously taunted that her organization would likely perform rather...painful experiments on his pokemon if they ever find him dead in the Ruins...that woman has no care for anyone not personally related to her in some fashion..."

"...and that's why I brought both you and her to this time since I have some control over who comes with us through time.  You to get you out of that situation safely since there was seemingly no other way to do so.  Juni...so she couldn't escape from being punished for her crimes.  Calam wants her dead for nearly killing him.  Or punished in some way.  And frankly, Gallade and I don't want her to go unpunished either.  We have a couple options:

- Leave her here in this time, which is around 1000 AD.  She's definitely dead by the modern era and likely doesn't have the materials to craft herself a gauntlet, but if she causes a paradox, it'll send her back to 2014 as if I'd never brought her here in the first place, and we'll likely forget everything she's told us immediately...and there's no guarantee Calam will be happy with this decision...

- Wait for the lurches to take us back to the present time and turn her in to the authorities in 2017.  We probably have to come up with some kind of story about how we caught her and found you, but I can contact the gym leaders of Cress and Stair to potentially get some help with making sure Juni is put and stays behind bars since I've been working with both of them recently.

-Kill Juni now and be done with the problem.  If she gets out of captivity in the present, she'll probably just go back to the Scimitars and cause more trouble for us.  This cuts off the problems with her specifically at the roots, and Calam is more than willing to finish her off.  It could be considered unlawful, but we're so far in the past that all anyone would know for certain in the present is that she vanished mysteriously.  Brutal, but guaranteed to be effective."

"...well, any preferences about what we should do about her, Detective?  Personally...I just want to see her punished in some way for what she's done.  No matter how noble the goals she claims to have are, it doesn't excuse her actions in the slightest."
