"Sure! What do you want to know? They've been up to many things - some few being illegal, and only a few of those being caught. Most of the time, they are just... talking. Sending out feelers. Spreading their viewpoint among normal citizens. Their rare communications mention 'a new era of Scimitars.'"

"What illegal stuff they have done? Do you have an....idea and pattern what they are doing? *Beat* Also want to know locations were they have been seen, places where they.....have gotten their word out."

Essentially, he needs to know where they've been lurking about so he can investigate them in his free time, and their insight on what those mages are trying to accomplish. Simple as that!

"They're hitting Cress City and Botanville, our two main cultural centers, particularly hard. Their illegal actions have been a number of heists on financial institutions, computer hubs, and laboratories. You should increase the security of any of your own projects. Botanville has been hit particularly hard with these heists. Bill was also attacked, but, well... that's easier said than done as you know. Even Delta Porygon2 couldn't breach Bill's systems."

Terra gives the Steel Wonder a firm nod after they finish answering their question.

"Hm.....I will. Thank you, Dagny. That is all I have to ask. Let us get back to.....discussing the Genesect Fossil."

*Looks over to Nathan*

"Nathan? Your......thoughts on what we have spoken about? Suggested? Have any idea yourself now?"

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

"But, uhm... *smile of light hope* Does it help you all to know that I'm AWARE I made a mistake and will, well, do what I can to fix things caused by this m-mistake of m....mine...? I desire to travel further and explore more, so I can keep my eyes and senses open for any sort of trouble! C-can I help you all in some further way here or shall I better leave now....?

"You might as well just leave now. Unless you can get Cocancer back, that is."

That last comment must have hit a sensitive nerve within Shiva, as she stops in her tracks, perks up in stance and posture and GLAAAAAAARES at the military person for a second in her best vile-fairy-manner before turning away in huff. "Oh, I WILL get dear Cocancer back, j-just... just you wait! (҂ `з´ ) I-I'm NOT going to let things be, I'll keep mine any my dear Pokemon's eyes and senses open for the smallest of hints, yes I have done a mistake but I can still try to make up for it! I am s.... sorry for the failure and inconvenience, but just because of that it's not like all hope is lost, alright...?"

She needs to take a deep breath to calm down again. Moody u-turn...? Moody u-turn. In a much softer voice she adds that she'll report any news and wishes a good day.

On leafy wings the sensitive fae-enthusiast opts to leave Garlicburg or 'Garlicburg' then, not especially wanting to deal with the military any more right now. She's got... more important things to dedicate her energy into than apologizing towards them again and again. During the flight Tropius chirps at his mount in a questioning tone, Shiva immediately understands that he's somewhat concerned over her and wishes to know whether she's alright. Shiva tenderly pats his neck as a response.


-----------------------------------------------------------------


The flight takes the two eastwards and to the south, basically to the other end of the island of Creshire. It's a place that Shiva has been before, a place that she SO looked forward to visit after having solely heard of it, a place that she associates with many many memories and experiences, good and bad ones likewise: It's of course the town of Elanor!~ She smiles a bit herself as the town comes into view, her huff and crippling self-blame diminished a bit just by that already.

Her destination here is the local Gym, as it's about time she fulfills a deal she has made with Howl; as in picking up a rather dear and special Pokemon of hers that has been given into his care in return for that odd Dark Shellder she has traded over to him. My, it's only been a few days, but Shiva feels it's been aaaaaages since she has nuzzled and snuggled into the black neckfur of her special genetically drifted doggo!~

She approaches the kennels and the building. "H-hello, Howl? You're there? It's me, Shiva... I left a special Mightyena with you, do you remember?"

Meta-info just in case

She has left Yena in Howl's care to have him tutored in PlayRough and PoisonFang, both ?-moves for a Mightyena. In return she has given him that Dark Shellder she caught down the sunken ship/submarine within the skull Ruins. Being with a different master and lots of other dog- and wolf-like Pokemon incl. puppies would also be a good experience and change of pace for Yena, aka he gets to socialize and stuff; or so I thought/hoped.

Well since we're on the topic of cyber attacks, Nathan brings up something related to that first.  "Could you scan my pokedex for bugs first, Dagny?  It's been acting strange and glitchy for a little while now.  I'm starting to get a little suspicious, honestly...should probably scan Terra's, too.  Mallorn's pokedexes don't require expansion cartridges, last I checked."

Nathan would like to get this addressed before continuing on the topic of the fossil.

[Iron]

"Mightyena is doing just fine, Shiva. My kennels are some of the safest, friendliest places in the world for pups!"

Indeed, Yena has learned to Play Rough, but not too rough. When you kneel to hug him, you can smell the scent of lots of other Pokemon on him.

She places the dexes on her desk, and it lights up with Mallorn-related icons, including that friendly Rapidash.

"Looks like Mallorn's dex does not accept expansion cartridges at all, the way an Almanac does. But he added error messages for it just in case. This just means it doesn't know the Pokemon you tried to identify."

When she inspects the printout for Nathan's, her face lights up with interest. "Now this... this is significantly beyond Mallorn spec! Have you been tinkering, Nathan?"

Awwwwww, Shiva's SOOOOO happy and delighted to snuggle and cuddle into her beloved and special Mightyena again! <3 "Ayyeeee, thank you so much, Howl! Yena my dear, have you been a good boi all along?~ Have you learned how to play rough with meeeeeaaaaan foes and play not-sooo-rough with fellow Pokemon? ...You have? Aww, how lucky and neat!" He licks over Shiva's face, obviously delighted to see his Master again too, and then the two begin to play for a bit. Yena covers Shiva's clothes in shield dust while doing so.

She whispers into one of Yena's ears: "Ohh, and have you also learnt how to... How to inject some potent venom into a foe with your bite, just in case we may run into some ill-natured Grass Types or fairies?~" (That was part of the deal too)

Nathan's very confused hearing that.

"Significantly...beyond...?  Tinkering?  Uh...no, not that I know of...not much of a mechanic or programmer...what exactly is different about my 'dex?"
