The fiery demoness' smile widens at their acceptance of her deal, clapping her claws together in delight at her success.

"Excellent, most good for us, and very well, Hissing Chimical! My thanks to you all, much gratitude for your acceptance, yes yes!"

She spent a few more seconds thinking of what questions she wanted to answer and how to phrase them, before she settle on just three.

"My first question, to you Chimical and Solosis too: Why are you so hostile and aggressive towards my companions and group? That, and Marcus too? Know not anything we or bone craftsmon Marcus have done to earn your ire and scorn, save for my friends lack of tolerance and......feistiness towards you and your own, so I am most curious as to the why and how of this mater, yes. Unless our (Team OS) association to Marcus is the reason for that?"

"My second question, to you Solosis: What Knowledge do you know that can help me understand and work with others, my friends, strangers, or unfamiliars? You seem to be wise and toughtful, indeed, so I wish to learn what Insights you can share on how to most cooperate with others."

"My third and last question, for now, to you Chimical: What interests thee, motivates you to be who you are, your own goals as an Adventurer , and as the Leader of Team Artificer? Unlike my friends, nay, I yet hold no ill will towards your attitude, nor to your expressed views. Curious I am about them, want to understand what made them and what will come of them, I most definitely am-do, so if you can enlighten me I would be grateful to thee."

Chimical continues to circle Pyra's personal space, the snake tail hissing and snapping all the while, and Solosis makes no move to stop the hybrid pokemon while the questioning is going on.

"Oh, that'ssssss an easssssy one to anssssswer, little flame.  You're new here.  And very obviousssssly inferior to the great Team Artificersssssss.  And you will alwaysssss will be.  As for Marcusssss...well, why don't you go asssssk him yourssssself?  You ssssseem to be rather chummy with him, after all."

"I'm afraid we can't help you with your second question.  Your personal interactions are of no concern to us, so long as they do not involve us in some troubling manner."

"Yesssss, quite, Ssssssolosssssisssss.  And as for that third quesssstion...well, Team Artificersssss is greatly interessssted in the old wayssssss.  Though I do believe my floating asssssocccciate here can explain better than I."

"With pleasure, Chimical.  You see, there's a great many things that pokemon kind has either forgotten how to use or has yet to realize the full potential of.  It is the goal of our team's industrious leader to discover such things and put them to good use.  However, Chimical is not the leader of the team, and who actually is is classified information.  Just know that we are only a small part of a larger whole in the guild."

Stealth: (5)(5)(2)(3) 2 Successes
Alert: (4)(3) 1 Success

At this point, Chimical stops pacing around the Devimp, and Pyra suddenly finds that Golett moved at some point during the conversation while she was focused on the other two, resulting in her being surrounded by the trio from Team Artificers.

"Now, we ansssswered your quessssstionsssss, sssssso I believe that'sssssss enough talking about usssssss.  It'ssssss time to pay up, little flame.  We have one quesssstion for you, and one quesssstion only."

And what a question it is.

"Thossssse lights that were seen in the skies above the Ssssssand Continent sssssshortly before we encountered you in the Dry Foressssst...you and your friendsssss wouldn't happen to have ssssssomething to do with thosssssse, would you?"

Quite the hole Pyra's dug herself into, it seems.
