Shiva pays close attention Ven's insight about how to hide away something from the League within a lab... Lots of silent hmmms and thoughtful looks + poses from her. Though she doesn't seem really convinced yet. "All of those are valid and great ways to hide away something, Ven... But what I'm looking down here is alive, is a valid Pokemon, so hiding it within a script or microchip is out of the way. Or rather, it should be alive still and down here still if the League hasn't been here first - doesn't look to be the case though thankfully!~"

"Furthermore, one password I have and know already... *cue sly smile*So let's not bother Dagny unless we HAVE to, alright? BUT we can surely collect some research papers or USB drives to show her later and check for any hidden information." That means, if there are any laying around by chance, Shiva will pick them up and hand them to Ventus for containment.

There are about 30 suits, maybe half of which are functional. The rest look like they were hit with some shrapnel and are just piled in a heap.

Okay, that means Shiva does definitely pick one of these hazma suits and carry it along with her - just in case. She doesn't put it on, she just holds onto it for now in case it'll be needed.

No passwords on either of the two potential Nucleon doors, though the green glow door has a retinal scanner that looks like it caught on fire in the recent past.

A retinal scanner - that means 'only authorized personal behind this point', something meaningful is behind that door, definitely. If it's caught on fire though, it's likely not functional anymore, or is it? Shiva carefully checks that by letting it scan her own retina, she expects either nothing happening or an error message popping up. (Reminds me on Dan Brown's Angels&Demons, where a retina scanner has been bypassed in a very clever yet morbid way)

'A weirdly, calm lodly presence' is behind that glowing green room? How interesting, how very interesting... And how very dangerous. Though somehow Shiva got the feeling that this presence may not be what she's looking for, it hardly makes sense for it being so calm and lordy... Either it is MADE to emit such an impression by force, or it's something very different that has been used to FORCE innocent Eevee to evolve - whatever it may be, Shiva's intrigued by it. And somewhat worried.

Another possibility for a Nucleon room is an airtight door with a big wheel for a doorknob. Lots of warmth is emanating from this door.

But let's focus on this option beforehand, before daring to enter the disater area = the dusty quadrant of the lab or tampering with the green glowing door.

First: Trying to cool the door somehow! This will be attempted with Azu's and Raphael's help. "How about a combined Ice Beam and Water Pulse, dear ones? Directly on the door please!" If something bad happens, Shiva's got the Shield to protect herself as she's basically standing right at the door. If this cooling-attempt works out, it's time for her to extremely carefully open that door...
