Crossing her arms lightly, Shiva falls into a pondering and hefting state, she lets thoughts come and go within her mind. Eventually she gives an agreeing nod to both Heart and Spira. "I believe both of you would do well to come along. For a different reason, indeed, but I don't want to... miss out on you. Let me explain...", she coughs and raises her voice once more, "Heart, you should come due to your said skills in sneaking around unnoticed, they'll come in handy for sure. But please promise that you'll keep yourself and your emotions under control down there in the labs - a deep hate for the Scims accepted, but one bad decision or rushed action could get get us into big trouble." That does not mean she doesn't trust the PUNisher, she hopes Heart gets it as what they are: Constructive words of advice. "An Onix, even a smaller Delta Version, would arise too much attention though, I... I wouldn't bring him along."

She continues. "Spira, Ghost Types have a good chance to come in helpful on enemy's terrain. You see, they can phase through walls, attack silently, infiltrate machines or similar to deactivate them and scout the nearby area to warm us from traps and security devices - AND, importantly, they obey you. Well, apart from Mero at the moment. If you'd like to come along, please do." (Basically, remember what Valder did with Ghastly in the Scim Base in Wineberry Town, how it has helped us? I liked that.)


Concerning the question WHEN to actually get started on things, Shiva vehemently shakes her head when Nathan carefully asked whether they should do that tonight, appears a bit startled by the thought of getting going right away. "If I'm... I mean, I don't think that it'd be that much of a decent idea to head there right away. Dizzy - or Calam - and Gallade, I can see you're all ready, but please understand that we are not yet. It needs an amount of preparation to manage such a delicate task, such a restocking on medicine and such. We're also soon to tire out, the day will be done in few hours. No, how'd it sound if we'd, well... start on things tomorrow morning? We could meet up here at the shack when the sun rises and get going together. If possible, I'd avoid sneaking anywhere near their lab building while it's dark - yes, we can hide in the darkness and use it to our advantage, but Reshiram shall burn me to ashes if Almanac does NOT have any ways to notice unwanted guests even in the dead of night. Pokemon they're using as trained watchers perhaps are also equpped with senses that are finer than ours, some might even spot us in total darkness - Noctowl are capable of such a thing, for example. The labs might even be occupied at night, if they're not the security system is probably enhanced to prevent nasty suprises in the mornings."

It's a bit uncomfortable for Shiva to speak her mind like this, but she is being brave at the moment. Bold, one could even say - yet not rushed or unprofessional, she desires to be as sure about things as possible.


Additional note:
Since I'm also almost sure that there'll be Encounters or battles or bascially things that'll take a Slot for us within Almanac's, I very much prefer to not suffer penalities on dice rolls - which me and Spirit will since we've used our 3 Slots per day. If there'll be fights within the labs or against Scims, they're probably going to be hardcore. UNLESS Iron, you can confirm to us beforehand that whatever we'll do, we won't suffer penalties.
