[PRP] Discussing Discovery

[Gwennythe]

"Ah!" Tambrey blinked at Hayes and then found herself rocking her chair a little. She'd heard -exactly- those facts, said it a much... less placid, less friendly kind of way... Used to self-aggrandize a former room mate, in fact.

"Um. We, uh, know someone who could... /kind of/ understand him... At least, enough to decode his work, you know?" She had had to pretend to listen, or try to ignore, so many disgruntled ramblings involving pokémon-shaped tech'...

"Bait with rumors of sightings," Aulus clarified. "The ditto thing wouldn't work though; it would need to be looking at Mesprit to transform into it.... Rumors might be enough though if we can get them spread in the right places. Of course we'd probably get a lot of by-catch too; rangers and ambitious trainers and all." Maybe it wouldn't work after all.

Turning then to Alex Aulus frowned, nodding slightly. "Right." It wasn't his area but the cross-referencing thing definitely sounded sensible. "And yeah, I mean the women. Could be that they took something he made and gave it a new case, or that it was made after Deimos left from plans that had already been... translated or whatever it was they did."  

[Gwennythe]

"Well... We could probably find a work-around for that but," Tambrey frowned a little- that Ditto who'd fooled them all had -seen- a Mesprit, so shortly before they went after it, it was infuriating to remember "it's probably a lot simpler to... just do the rumour thing." She admitted, sheepishly; Ditto were, still annoyingly difficult when taking memory issues into account... The more she thought on it, the more unlikely it would be to get a Ditto to just... be a Mesprit for a while... And then, how would they publicize it and keep it safe and... Too many logistic issues, she decided, beyond the technical problems.

Aulus frowned thoughtfully at Tam. "Perhaps a Zoroak's illusions?" It was worth throwing out there.

At Lex's mention of using Deimos, Clover frowned slightly, "If Daniel is to be believed and Team Galactic truly has dispersed, Deimos's usefulness as a bargaining chip has plummeted. Luring Tethys may be all he's good for anymore in that regard, though truthfully, so long as Tethys believes he is in our possession, she will most likely continue to seek us out - no bait necessary. Fortunately, with our security, we don't need to worry much about her surprising us. If she shows herself, we'll know."

She listened to the conversation between Aulus and Tambrey, continuing to type as she did. "Zoroark is a solution as far as lending credibility to our rumors goes," she agreed. "However, as you said, Agent Aulus, we run the risk of attracting unwanted attention if we indiscriminately spread rumors. The Kodo branch of the Pokemon League is already on high alert; ideally we don't want to make it even more difficult for us to move around. And to be fair, we don't even know if those women were actually searching for Mesprit or if they were telling the truth at Paladin and only wanted to see it for the novelty.

"For the time being, perhaps it would be best to act as Elite Hayes suggested and use the few resources we have to try to track them down - or to track down any former member of Galactic who's able to give us an explanation, though it certainly would be nice to bring that Yveltal into our possession."  

[Gwennythe]

"I like that better, but..." Tambrey shrugged at Aulus; there were still all those logistical problems... and now Clover was talking about how they didn't really want some forms of attention... It made sense, but then they were back to just... needing to know who those women were, as well as trying to track them down.

"What about Star, and, um, KO? The grunts? Um, I know Star isn't likely to, uh, remember anyone he wasn't afraid of, or wasn't trying to impress, but, -maybe- KO, or another of our ex-Galactics could, at least, tell us who they might be?" Apparently not Claire, or Lex, as they were, well, sitting right here and hadn't said they knew who they were... "Sure they were, uh, with us instead of there when everything happened, but if they might have a hint as to who these people are, they might have an idea better on how to track them down, maybe? Uh... I remember they were kind of," She tried to work out through a hazy fuzz just how she should word what she was trying to say "not exactly pacifists but, uh, they kept calling to 'talk' before they went and sucked all our pokémon back into the balls and blasted us all with the Yvetal; really, uh, talked up the non-violence stuff before being, well, super violent... So, uh, that's some kind of clue?" Or maybe they should poke Izaya and see what the grunt's old info networks turned up... Tambrey wasn't exactly full of -the best- ideas at that moment...  

[TawnyAngel]

"Right," Aulus agreed with the executive, his earlier ire pretty well forgotten now that there was a proper discussion going. "So...." He paused, looking at Tam and rubbing his forehead as he chased after the tail of the thought that had been there a moment ago.

"So," he began again, now looking around to engage with the whole group once more, "attracting attention is a bad idea. Delving for more data and comparing what we have is good, as is asking our former Galactics.... Descriptions." That was important. "We should make sure all our operatives have descriptions of the two women from Paladin - and Tethys, if they don't already know - and images too if we have them. We have a lot of people scattered around Kodo on a daily basis, somebody taking a day off might spot one of them in Camphoreon or something. Wouldn't take much effort, might get results." Phew, he was pretty sure he'd made sense there. Pretty sure.
