Nuclear Research Facility East Wing
As the party continues along the corridor it continuously narrows, to the point that it quickly becomes crowded with all the persons/Pokemons pressing against each other uncomfortably. From this point onwards, each Trainer can only have one of their Pokémon out without overcrowding the hallways their end, and without risking the chance to start hitting each other if a battle crops up. Lindworm's Dragonair and any Large Pokemon in particular suffers a - 1 DEX penalty while out , since its harder for them to maneuver in such cramp confines.
Eventually the hallway you follow sharply bends straight upward, leading to another long, narrow hallway, with several rooms interspersed along its length.
Additionally, their were a few corpses of humans and Pokémon alike, but these were so mangled and chewed up that they were only barely recognizable. Finding anything useful on them would be difficult (Not to mention disgusting), but not impossible.
Encounters/Events:
Corpses
Time: Micro Encounter
Rewards: Same system as last time, but its modded so that only 1/2 Successes will count towards finding Items, and Poke amount will be determined by rolling the combined results of 2D20 and 1D10 * $100.
Small Lab #1
Time: Micro Encounter
Rewards: 4 Random Non Rare/Key Card and Non Bad Items (1 and 6 Results don't count on the Dice Rolls), Random Amt of Poke ($200*3D8)
Notes: Plaque above the doorway it indicates this lab is dedicated to 'Minor Pokémon and Human Nutritional Research', and it takes a LV1 Keycard. There are also scratches and claw marks on the doorway itself.....
'Small' /Cluttered enough that only up to Two Trainer and Two Pokémon can operate safely in there. Large Pokémon suffer the same penalties as in the hallway.
Small Lab #2
Time: Micro Encounter
Rewards: 2 Random Items, $1500 Poke, Information
Note: Plaque above the doorway indicates this lab is dedicated to 'Minor Pokémon and Human Biological Research', and it takes a LV1 Keycard. No signs of Nuclear Pokémon intrusions.
'Small' /Cluttered enough that only up to Two Trainer and Two Pokémon can operate safely in there. Large Pokémon suffer the same penalties as in the hallway.
Cafeteria
Time: Macro Encounter
Rewards: 10 Semi Random Medical Items (Half Good Berries/Healthy HP Recovering Food, half Good Medical Items), $12000 Poke lump sum (Divided up between party members)
Note: Has two entrances...each one showing copious signs of the brutal, mindless savagery of Corrupted Nucmon. One is forced wide open, with.....quite a mess surrounding it, while the other was still closed but bore severe damage in the form of deep gouges and dents. The smell of dried blood and gore is thick, and everyone could hear the quiet growls + hustle and bustle of many beasts coming from within...
Note 2: Going through the 'Opened' Entrance will automatically trigger a confrontation with whatever and how many Nucmons are in there, but everyone gets a pre-emptive strike against them all. Either that, or use the entrance as a bottleneck to stage a staggered assault.
Going through the Closed Entrance, however, automatically puts anyone into Stealth Mode and to scout out what's in their, but you have to recall your Pokémon to squeeze through the tiny entrance/not cause a commotion. You can then perform an Ambush to summon your Pokémon freely (Or try to). Its also possible to try and sneakily obtain some Items/Poke this method without Fighting, but it will only be a fraction of the total amount and their is always a chance to fail and Alert some/all of the CNP in there.
Both option are mutually exclusive to each Player and NPC, but the Cafeteria is large/open enough to field Three Pokémon for each Trainer (Mostly only relevant for Reiner).
The hallway continues far past these rooms, until it turns towards the left. Nothing can be seen or heard along the way (IE: No Ambushes)besides what appears to be an Electronic Sliding Door at the very end/turn, like the one that bars access to the Clinic. However, its far enough away that it requires a Player/NPC to ignore the Encounters present in order to check it out first, since its part of the next batch of Encounters for the next section of the NRF.
Nothing is preventing you from ignoring all Encounter present here and going forward to save on time, or doubling back to investigate the Left Hallway.

Arial levels of Alert was in high with all those sounds. He could glimpse the mess in the Caffeteria. "Man, all this problem is to find that Key Card Level 3. Maybe its in one those bodies?" Arial though in go find something in the caffeteria, but for the first time, the madman hesitate in go foward. "Call me a coward, but I have some bad, BAD vibers in that caffeteria place. No chance I go there alone. There is problably some cool healing items there, but I not going alone. Is any of you guys willing to offer a little help there? I would feel a bit more cool with that Super Duper Frosslad and you Reiner. I lack in any kind of area moves if you know what you mean."
Then Arial look in the direction of the Lab. "Thinking better I will take a look in the lab. There might be some clue about the Key Card. I see you guys later."

(I know we on break until Dragonstrike get ready to continue, but this is only a quick post to get something done before go.)
Before heading to the Lab, Arial takes his Walkie Talkie and talk with Riza once more. "Cat calling Ladybug. Respond Ladybug. How things are going to you? We are on Level 2 of the facility and we have faced a group of Nuclear Zubatas, Gobats and Crobats a while ago. If you find some death battles in your way here, so you are in the right path. We gonna investigate some Labs to find some medic items. Gonna enter in contact soon." With that say, Arial follow his way.

Well, this is getting much, much more irksome...not only are even the weakest wild pokemon pushing the danger levels through the roof, the structure of the building is making things even harder.
...lovely.
Frosslad is the pokemon that stays out on Reiner's end in that case...*sigh*...

You get what sounded like a surprised chitter from her, before they calmed down and responded in a calmer, more positive sounding ones. Looks like she reads you loud and clear, from what you can tell.

Arial and his Pokémon cautiously approached the first lab, nervously and/or warily glancing at the scarred doorway, before he (Arial) going over to the card reader and swiping his Key Card, causing it to let out a small chimed, indicating the lab was now unlocked. With great trepidation, the mad man and his metallic fighters entered, the door smoothly opening and closing behind them all without a whisper of a sound. The room....
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
...Was what you typically expect of a biology lab: several long, tall, and mult-tiered bench/work stations with a myriad amount of cabinet and drawers build into them, and festooned with all sorts of sciency equipment you are extremely underqualified to understand its usage.
![[Image: lab-interior_01.gif]](https://richardwthomaia.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/lab-interior_01.gif)
Not seen in the photo were also several boxy freezers, reheaters, water baths, incubators, and everything else that was necessary to run a nutritional lab.
...and in front of one large freezer were two Nuclear Munchlax. Fortunately for you, they were blissfully and deeply asleep, most likely in a binge eating coma judging by the piles of half eaten, half rotten food around the two green bear cubs. Further supporting this hypothesis is the fact that the freezer in front of them was clawed open, ample amounts of queasy cuisine still in and around it, and was just one of many that had been ransacked. That, and the distinct lack of corpses in the lab, with evidence of their once being some (torn articles of clothing, name tags, shoes, etc.), pointed towards them being.....'cleaned up' at some point by the hungry, gruesome gluttons.
A large and what looked to be forcibly open vent indicated that as the most likely entry point that the N-Munchlaxes used to enter this once untarnished place...
Since the irradiated cubs were napping and weren't about to get up anytime soon to your Knowledge, you set about carefully (and quietly) searching the small lab, posting Melchoir and Zeus to watch over the Nucmons just in case....
Item #1: (4) and (20) Arial finds an Extra Large Revival Herb (Essentially 2 Revival Herbs in 1) in a drawer full of withered (unusable) ones! SWEET!
Item #2: (3*) and (15) What looked to be a X-Attack/Dire Hit (Take You Pick of What it is!) was found lying on a counter. Alright!
Item #3: (3*) and (16) A half filled bottle of Iodine Tablets (5 Tablets) tumble out of a cabinet when you open it, though you manage to snatch it out of the air before it could collide with the floor and cause a racket! Nice!
Item #4: (2) and (20) You find what looked to be an two conjoined Leppa Berries (Restores 1 Will Point each, or 2 at once) in one of the opened freezers stuck together. EXCELLENT!
Poke Collections: (5)(2)(7) Arial manages to find $2800 Poke scattered around the place/hidden away in the cabinants/drawers.
Overall, Arial found quite the haul in the lab! As for the fate of the N-Munchlax, they'll continue sleeping unless you try to attack/kill/capture them, in which case I'll make a Insight + Alert Roll to see if they wake up.

Your Ice Lord gives you a reassuring pat on the back once he detects how STRESSED you are, as while the NRF is near paradise on earth for him (minus the Corrupt Nucmons), he more than understand that its the polar opposite for you...
Lab #2 looks much the same like Lab #1, save for what things were on/around the work benches/cabinets, and they're being only a couple of large freezers as opposed to the MANY. No Nucmons were here to greet Reiner in this lab, thankfully...…
……but unfortunately it wasn't empty of lifeforms.
There were five scientist, two men and three women, were in the lab to greet Reiner.....and all of them were dead.
The two men were hanging by makeshift nooses from a visible pipe in the ceiling, eyes bulging outwards and their faces/neck heavily bruised.
One of the women was leaning/haning over a sink, and closer examination revealed both her had long, vertical slits that extended from the inside to the elbow to the base of the hand.
Another collapsed on the floor, head sickenly twisted to the side.
The last was sitting sprawled in a chair, eyes closed and a blissfully peaceful smile on her face, with a syringe clutched in one hand and an empty bottle of morphine laying discarded in front of her.
All the bodies were surprisingly not too decayed/bloated, though given how blisteringly frigid it was in the lab (with Frosslad dropping the temperature even MORE), that may be more due to the cold slowing those processes down.
…
Item #1: (1) and (15) You manage to discover that the OD woman actually had a extra filled Syringe of Morphine in one of her lab coat pockets.
Item #2: (3) and (11) You find a Guard Specs and Potion on one of the hang men's body.
$1500 Poke in total were collected from all the corspes.
Finally, you discover one computer with a camcorder on top of it that, upon inspection/fiddling around with the mouse, pulls up a what appeared to be a paused visual/audio log video, with the thumbnail being the image of the OD Woman, Alive but.... distressed, with the title of it being 'To Those That Find Us.'
...Do you play it?
(Lindworm is currently busy looting the bodies, and that will be resolved after Arial/Reiner fully resolves their own Encounters.)
Custom Item: Morphine Syringe
Cost: N/A (Ask the Merchant later, its not important now)
Effect: Has 3 Doses, with each dose nullifying all Pain/Accuracy Reducing Effects (Including from Paralysis), temporary increasing a person's/Pokémon Happiness by 1, lowers Disobedience by 1 + forces Loyalty Rolls on Wild Pokémon (Your Will vs Their Disobedience), and increases HP by 2 for 1 Marco Encounter.
Leaves the users in a Drugged State for 1 Marco Encounter/until the dose wears off/an Full Heal is administered, has a 2D6 Chance to Badly Poison/Super Badly Poison the user (even if they are Steel/Poison type or have Immunity) without at least 3 Points in Medicine Specialty, 1D6 Chance for types that resist (And only resist, not Immune) Poison, 4D6 to types weak to Poison, Water types, and Electric types (with [5s] being accepted as a Success too for all types of Pokemon), and reduces a target's Alertness/Insight to *1 TOTAL.
More than one dose on a person/Pokémon in a given Cycle has a 4D6 Chance of them ODing on them without a + 6 in Medicine, with 2 Success or Snake Eyes being the requirement. 3 Doses outright kills/ODs a target without a roll and regardless of Medicine Specialty, but if its used a Nucmon/Highly Savage/Disobedient Pokemon they gain a Desperation Attack (Guaranteed Critical Hit) on the administer if they are not bellow 1/2 HP.
[u]Does not work on Boss Pokémon/Beings....or at least not until the Encounter is over and done with.[/u]

Does not work on Boss Pokémon/Beings....or at least not until the Encounter is over and done with.
And Reiner definitely appreciates that support. Funny how a Dragon Tamer gets along so well with Ice types, isn't it?
Of course, Lab #2 has its own share of nasty surprises...Reiner quietly looks things over for a minute or two before searching the place...
"...well, guess they shared at least a few of my sentiments."
The cold chill only slightly bothers him. Ice Path was an unforgiving maze to get lost in for many reasons, and Blackthorn, being a mountain city, isn't exactly very warm either. He can bear this for a short while, no problem.
Meager supplies on one of the men...and enough morphine to kill something outright on one of the women...and what looks to be the final words of that same woman on video...
Well then...
Reiner presses the play button. Info from your friendly neighberhood suicidal scientist is probably good information in this case...

The video takes a few seconds to buffer, but once it does it plays without interruption:
The OD woman is sitting in front of the computer, staring into the camera with hollow, dead eyes and with hands tightly clasped together. Her face was haggard and emancipated, withered by both stress and grief. She was also shivering from the cold, though that seemed more than an involuntary reaction than any actual effort put into it on her part. In the background, you could see the bodies of the two men, and barely the woman who snapped her own neck.
"Biological Research Log #127, recorded on X/X/XX. Researcher recording Log: Alexandra Wilkens."
She says this all in tired, clinical, and defeated tone, as if only an experiment she'd worked all night on resulted in failure, rather than the predicament she was in.
"For the record, and anyone who is composing a timeline of this incident, it has been roughly three weeks of the date of this log since the Outbreak from West Sector 2nd Floor, were the security measures in place failed and all the Nuclear and Research Pokemon were released and swiftly spread throughout the faciility. Cause of this is unknown, but I hypothesized that one or several high clearance Researchers deliberately committed sabotage to compromise the containment area and access corridors, as they are the only one that has access and authorization to enter WS2, and the ability or knowledge necessary to override the security measures in place. Reasons for doing this is unknown, but it is my sincerest wish that whomever responsible has died the most horrific death imaginable by this point in time."
"Communications from within and outside of the NRF have also been cut off, which prevented the security task force from being able to coordinate and suppress the Outbreak before it had escalated beyond any measure of containment. The entrance and exits of the NRF has also been sealed off from the inside out, with no known clearance level able to force the doors open, prevent us from sending an SOS to the National Guard. Security Camera feeds are still active, but everyone in charge or had access to them has had their privlages rescinded, and the feeds are encrypted, preventing us from knowing what is going, but not for whomever hi-jacked them. The Labs and rooms themselves, however, have not been sealed beyond the standard clearance levels installed on them, though that hardly matters at this point in time, as everyone that has not holed up in a Clinic or heavily fortified room with supplies is dead by now. In sum....the NRF has been turned in a mouse trap, with everyone in it consigned to death by the feral species that roam the facility, by starvation or dehydration, and/or killing each other as they compete for survival. And it was all an orchestrated, deliberate move on someone or collective part."
She pauses for a moment, hands straining together as she looked downward at them, before she continued, this time in much more quiet, subdued tone.
"....Me and my colleeges managed to secure and barricade ourselves off in this lab by the Cafeteria early on in the Outbreak....though that didn't deter other Researchers trying to gain entry, nor the specimens from trying to get in. Its fortunate that the doors to this lab in particular were upgrade 'recently', or otherwise I....image they would have been breached by now, as what I assume happened to the Cafeteria and the Nutritions Lab. A small blessing......or a great curse, depending on one's perspective."
At this point she smiles, but its so dreadful that even Dark and Ghosts types would find it positively ghastly.
"Prior to this, we tried to access the Clinic by the entrance, which, to those that are watching are unaware, are stocked with enough non perishable food, nutrients, medicine, and healing equipment to last years, have their own generators, and beds. While the last thing may seem insignificant, sleeping in chairs or on top of the worktops here is....hardly a pleasant experience. If it wasn't for the Fire Blankets and small heaters and water baths, me and my colleges would have been liable to freeze to death before the specimens got us or starvation set in. At the very least, the cold will preserve all our bodies for a long time, hopefully long enough for them to still be recognizable for identification once the Outbreak is contained and cleanup is brought in to tidy up."
"But I digress. The Clinic had already been sealed off from the inside by someone, and they refused to let anyone else enter, going so far as to Engage Quarantine Protocols to raise the Security Clearance to Level 3, preventing anyone but the Security Task Force or any Senior Staff from accessing the place. No doubt they were doing this to limit access to food and resources all to themselves, and from a survivalist perspective they choose to act in the most wise and pragmatic manner, but frankly I hope they end up dying in there. They doomed most of the Researchers that tried to flee there with specimens hot on their heels, and they doomed anyone else on this floor to suffer death via predation or eventual starvation, regardless of whether some resort to cannibalism or not. In a fair world, it would only be fitting that they share the same fate as all of us, rather than live through this ordeal and are paid enough hush money by our superiors to live out comfortably for the rest of their days. *Sighs* …But this isn't a fair world we live in. Otherwise, none of this would happen. None of it."
…She laspes into silences for several minutes, clearly exhausted by her admission, before managing to muster up enough will to continue.
"...If anyone watching this is still trying to access the damn Clinic, be they a rescue team, clean up, or a fellow unfortunate survivor of the Outbreak, then I suggest you head over to the Executive and Senior Research Department. Its down the Left Hallway, from the front desk and Entrance, past the Supply and Emergency Transport Elevator, and continuing going left at the interception. One of the private labs or offices in there no doubt has a Level 3 Keycard or higher, if you scrounge around carefully enough. Normally, you need Level 3 Clearance or have temporarily authorization to enter, but I know the Override Code for the doors, due to being close friends with Director Wesker. Its 71250. The only reason I nor my....colleges haven't tried searching for a LV 3 Keycard ourselves to access the Clinic and strangle whomever is in it is that the ESRD is located right next to the access corridor to the West Sector, and therefore is host to the most viscous and explorative Nuclear Specimens that came flooding out of there. We decided that it was......suicidal to try and sneak past them and attempt to find a Keycard there, and elected to wait out the Outbreak here in our secured lab. We had enough supplies to ration for weeks, if we were careful, fresh water from the taps, and were relatively close to the entrance, and therefore close to rescue if....when it comes."
More silence, before she suddenly reaches for the camera, and points it at all the corpses of her colleges.
"....It never did come, though. Not soon enough, at any rate."
…
''....Three days ago, all of my colleges elected to.....commit suicide via their preferred method, once it had been discovered that supplies were estimated to only last one more week for us five to live off on. ...It was also decided that one of us would live instead of dying, as with four of us dead the supplies would last five times longer or.....more, if the whomever was left resorted to cannibalism to supplement their diets. One would live, and survive long enough for rescue to come and deliver their report of the Outbreak, ideally. We drew rulers......and I happened to draw the short one. So here I am now. Giving one last report....before I decide to join my friends."
...
"….I imagine my friend who came up with this plan and convinced the others thought it was a way to make the rest's death a noble sacrfice, rather than the very last and most desperate way to escape the wasting hell that would become their lives in a week's time. A way to at least ensure one of us.....me would have a chance to live through this all. ...But I would hardly call what I am doing now as living. I'm surviving. Surrounded by death, by my dead friends, with almost no hope for escape or salvation. I could continue surviving, and trying to find hope in Pandora's pot.....but I just can't anymore. Not without support. Not....without......my....friends."
By this point, tears have began to stream down her eyes, but her expression was unphazed, as if it was frozen by the cold climate of the lab.
"....So.....I am.....going.....to......kill myself too. I...have a bottle of morphine I managed to obtain before....we all sealed ourselves in here, and there....are....plenty of syringes around here, so that should be a.....pleasant way to go. Before that.....I'm....going to unbar the door to let anyone or.....thing come in here, so they can find this message. Maybe...another survivor more brave than us could get a Keycard, or at least as a....memorial or some sort of record of what happened here.... for the clean up or rescue teams. ….Maybe a specimen could come in, and at least get some use out of all the preserved meat in here. All I just hope for at this point....is that what has happened here isn't forgotten. That at least someone, something will know what happened, and do everything they can to prevent this hell from ever repeating itself. That...is all."
Alexandria then reaches forward for the camera to turn it off/stop recording, but paused long enough to say one last thing.
".....This has been Biological Research Log #127. Researcher Alexandria Wilkens, signing off....."
This said, the video cuts to black a few seconds later.
' …That was......uncomfortable to watch.'
Mew's comment most likely comes as a complete surprise, but from its suddenness and the fact it made her feel strongly enough to unsettle her.
'....At the very least, she has benefited us by leaving crucial information for us in her suicide note, so it was not as if her death was entirely in vain. Small comforts, but there they are.'
...and back to her semi-sociopathic callousness again.
"....We do have an option of saving her, though, if you are willing to sacrifice a Pokémon to preform the Reviving Ritual."
Wait, what now?
"Her and her colleges bodies are almost perfectly preserved by the frigid and sterile conditions of this room, so conducting the Revival Ritual on all of them would be potentially feasible. However, she is the most likely to be successfully resurrected out of all of them, while the rest I am uncertain I could fully Revive without complication, like with Kyubi. She didn't horrible mutilate her body like the others, and the manner of which she choose to commit suicide would have sent her SOUL into a torpor, as she died passed out and therefore it wouldn't know it was dead and move on until the condition of the body is sufficiently altered to 'awaken it'. '
...Okay.
' The benefit of doing this is, beyond moral or beneficent reasons, is that we would have someone that would be able to help us navigate the NRF, find caches or certain Key Items, and more easily locate our target. She could also provide us with more intelligence on what occurred in the NRF before and after the Outbreak, though that is not entirely relevant to our main objective at hand, so its more of tangential benefit than truly useful, unless we can use said information for long term gain. *Mental Shrug* I do not know, so I remain neutral on said information's usefulness until I hear it myself. Well, if I hear it to begin with, that is. We would need to sacrifice a Pokémon in order to do this, and preferably not a Corrupted Nuclear one if its....altered nature rubbed off on them. Or they gain the ability to irradiate Rads. Neither outcome would be nice for us or her, I imagine.'
You think?
' The only Pokémon you have that I assume would be potentially willing to sacrifice without attachment issues getting in the way are Giegeroach, Tarous, Adamantine, Metagross, and....BUZZWOLE. Sacrificing either Adam or Metagross would be ill advised , given their usefulness in and out of the NRF, but if Mab is any president she's liable to inherent their typing and some of their powers, and perhaps part of their personalities, which would make keeping her alive and increase her usefulness accordingly. BUZZWOLE.....its technically dead, but it still has enough.....lifeforce for it to be possible to use it as a sacrifice, but there is.....no telling what on earth or beyond would be the result of using them in the Revival Ritual. No doubt something incredibly powerful....or eldritch. Or both. Giegeroach is useful now, but in the future it will diminish due to her very natural and presence as a Nuclear type, while a human possessing their abilities could use them incognito much more easily. Tauros would be the easiest to sacrifice, due to you never using nor having the inclination to ever do so, and her inheriting some of its Strength and fortitude without the species' temper would be a boon for us and her. Since she would likely become a Normal type as a result of the Ritual, though, she'd gain Rads at a prodigious rate in the NRF, and would have to be constantly monitored and cared for until such a time we could obtain Anti-Radiation equipment for her. '
' Of course, there is always the option to simply leave her dead, and move on without her. It would cost us nothing to do so, and we would not have to look after another person while sweeping the NRF. Its most likely the wisest and most sustainable course of action, but taking it denies us her intelligence, and her a chance at life she otherwise wouldn't get. Apathetic and....focused as I am, I still....dislike the thought of her remaining dead, if only because I view it now as a....pitiful and ironic waste. ...Because of my...indecision, I will leave the choice entirely up to you on whether she is revived or not. That....is all I wish to discuss of this matter, until you make a decision. ...Oh, and you may now summon and talk to me again, since an hour has passed since I enacted my punishment, and therefore it is now over. I should be able to resume using Reflect type at anytime now too, which I would strongly be in favor of. Either than, or Transforming into Metagross or Adamantine. *Mental Shrugging* Whichever is more useful at the present time. '
And with that mouthful, the fickle feline goes silent, leaving you to your thoughts on....what to do about the choice she suddenly dumped into your lap.
...Why can't things ever be simple in you life?
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.

Then Arial look in the direction of the Lab. "Thinking better I will take a look in the lab. There might be some clue about the Key Card. I see you guys later."
Mechanic: Taking Lab #1 Encounter.
Arial and his Pokémon cautiously approached the first lab, nervously and/or warily glancing at the scarred doorway, before he (Arial) going over to the card reader and swiping his Key Card, causing it to let out a small chimed, indicating the lab was now unlocked. With great trepidation, the mad man and his metallic fighters entered, the door smoothly opening and closing behind them all without a whisper of a sound. The room....
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
...Was what you typically expect of a biology lab: several long, tall, and mult-tiered bench/work stations with a myriad amount of cabinet and drawers build into them, and festooned with all sorts of sciency equipment you are extremely underqualified to understand its usage.
Not seen in the photo were also several boxy freezers, reheaters, water baths, incubators, and everything else that was necessary to run a nutritional lab.
...and in front of one large freezer were two Nuclear Munchlax. Fortunately for you, they were blissfully and deeply asleep, most likely in a binge eating coma judging by the piles of half eaten, half rotten food around the two green bear cubs. Further supporting this hypothesis is the fact that the freezer in front of them was clawed open, ample amounts of queasy cuisine still in and around it, and was just one of many that had been ransacked. That, and the distinct lack of corpses in the lab, with evidence of their once being some (torn articles of clothing, name tags, shoes, etc.), pointed towards them being.....'cleaned up' at some point by the hungry, gruesome gluttons.
A large and what looked to be forcibly open vent indicated that as the most likely entry point that the N-Munchlaxes used to enter this once untarnished place...
Since the irradiated cubs were napping and weren't about to get up anytime soon to your Knowledge, you set about carefully (and quietly) searching the small lab, posting Melchoir and Zeus to watch over the Nucmons just in case....
Item #1: (4) and (20) Arial finds an Extra Large Revival Herb (Essentially 2 Revival Herbs in 1) in a drawer full of withered (unusable) ones! SWEET!
Item #2: (3*) and (15) What looked to be a X-Attack/Dire Hit (Take You Pick of What it is!) was found lying on a counter. Alright!
Item #3: (3*) and (16) A half filled bottle of Iodine Tablets (5 Tablets) tumble out of a cabinet when you open it, though you manage to snatch it out of the air before it could collide with the floor and cause a racket! Nice!
Item #4: (2) and (20) You find what looked to be an two conjoined Leppa Berries (Restores 1 Will Point each, or 2 at once) in one of the opened freezers stuck together. EXCELLENT!
Poke Collections: (5)(2)(7) Arial manages to find $2800 Poke scattered around the place/hidden away in the cabinants/drawers.
Overall, Arial found quite the haul in the lab! As for the fate of the N-Munchlax, they'll continue sleeping unless you try to attack/kill/capture them, in which case I'll make a Insight + Alert Roll to see if they wake up.
Arial was quite surprised to find such amazing and pretty useful items in this lab. He picked the Dire Hit (Since raise Attack its something his pokemons can do, so the Dire Hit might be useful to get buff to increase critical hits more often). The herbs gonna be useful to avoid the use of the Revive, despite the taste. And the Pokedollar is more than welcome!
Arial look to the two Munchax and think what to do. With a nod his head, he decide to leave the two alone. There is no reason to attack or kill those nuc cubs. This would demand time and use of resources, and that is something Arial shouldnt dare. Besides, they are just sleeping. They not doing anything wrong. With a balance of his head, Arial signal his two fighters they are getting out of the this lab, again taking all the care of the world in awake the two bears.

...
Honestly, one of my first thoughts when entering the room was 'maybe these unfortunate souls could be brought back? Kyubi was in a similar state, after all...'
Initially, I was fairly certain it wouldn't be worth the trouble.
But Alexandra made a compelling case, however unintentionally.
And her knowledge of the facility will, in all likelihood, turn out to be invaluable.
"...let's bring her back. Using Tauros. The rest of those pokemon are a little too useful right now to sacrifice...or far too risky to experiment with. It'll slowly chew through our supply of Iodine Tablets to keep her from getting irradiated, but I think it'll pay off."
Plus, this is likely the only chance they have to do this if they don't want to tip off Lindworm about Mew quite yet...
Reiner gets Tauros's Safari Ball ready, makes sure to retrieve the Life Orb the bull was holding...
"Oh, right. I believe I still need to introduce you to her properly. Frosslad, meet Mew." Not much needs to be said about this aside from that, I think.
Presumably, Mew's out and about soon after, preparing to hold down Tauros for the purpose of the Revival Ritual. "Think you can do this quickly enough to avoid accumulating Rads, Mew, or should I try to make room for Metagross so you can briefly use Reflect Type?"
