[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

For the record and to put it in the Game Thread: After Ven searched the blasted and charred corspes and discovered all that loot + Nucleon, he quietly retreated VERY slowly and carefully back to Nathan and Heart, letting Shiva rush over and handle the glowing green ball of fluff. He kept what loot he found to himself, as well as his internal highly fearful/fretting/concerned reaction of 'Oh gods, a living breathing Nuclear Pokemon is right there with my girlfriend and near my friends, oh dears' , so as not to cause a potentially disastrous panic from himself, his friends, or the questionably 'peaceful' Nuclear Pokemon. He was NOT going to cause a catastrophic incident one way or another this time, not when the stakes are so direly high and the group is in not fully explored but very much known to be dangerous territory, oh no!

....

The eccentric researcher flinched a bit at the sudden question, his head snapping to the adolescent hero and away from the sight of Nucleon and his beloved oh so very dangerously close together. Playing nice and friendly, getting along and bonding over common ground, and creating a fledgling bond together. But he knows. He just knows, from his long years of experience as both a researcher, explorer, and other things, that all it takes is one mistake, one mishap between a hazardous, Lethally dangerous Pokemon, for everything to go completely to hell in a hand basket. Or in this case, a Nuclear enriched casket. Shiva's Shield can't protect against everything at once, after all, or everyone for that matter too.

It takes a few seconds for Ventus to regain his clarity of mind and realize what his friend was asking, blinking before shaking his head to clear it and some of his anxiety for the current situation away. He then mulls it over briefly, his face going expressionlessly calm as he did so......before inclining his head slightly.

"....Yes. Found some quite interesting Items and relics indeed. The kind that needs to be.....discretely handled, I believe, least they.....attract unwanted attention. At least, that is of my professional opinion - one I think Dagny will share too, once I report these findings to her."

If that carefully whispered statement doesn't scream 'I HAVE FOUND DANGEROUS AND SHADY THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DISAPPEARED, PLEASE DO NOT ASK MORE ABOUT IT OR YOU'LL BECOME LIABLE TO GET IN TROUBLE LIKE ME' to the young historian.....

Nathan's doing his best to remain calm as well while he's discreetly conversing with Ventus, having overcome most of the initial shock of the horrible scene.  "I'll trust your judgement on that, Ventus.  And you can bet that I'm not really comfortable with this right now, either.  None of this Nuclear power should be here in the first place.  It's...unnerving.  That being said, I fully intend to make sure Dagny is informed on what's happened here.  No need to worry about me in the long run.  It's Shiva I'm concerned about.  Gonna be interesting trying to explain this to the military...we'll need to call Dagny at the soonest opportunity, preferably before anyone leaves the island, person or pokemon, in any fashion.  The sooner the air is cleared, literally and figuratively, the better."
