"In 200 feet, take a left."
Zacharie glanced around the hallway before giving an irritated huff. "Virus, I don't know when I'll have walked 200 feet. Just tell me when to turn." He groused to the little Porygon on the screen on his RocketDex. Said pokemon gave a low trill of disappointment, it'd obviously been having fun playing with the navigation settings.
Beep!
The grunt turned left down the next hallway as instructed. "See, that's so much easier." He muttered to himself as he flipped through the various messages on the electronic device. He'd meant to send one to Jerome to see if he wanted to join him for lunch, but it was a bit too late for that. "Guess it's just us today, Virus." He ran his thumb over the digital version of his pokemon, much to its delight.
"Turn right."
Glancing back up, he took the closest right. All this wandering just to find the cafeteria, it was a serious hassle. But perhaps if he had paid more attention when he'd been led there before he found himself in the infirmary he wouldn't be quite so clueless as to where he was going. Oh well, this is what maps and Porygons were for. It looked like he'd be getting there soon enough, anyway.

Clancy, for all his skills, had found that working with a 'dex was not yet one of them. Oh, sure, he could do it, but he prided himself on an innate sense of direction that any ocean loving man should have... Apparently it didn't work under a lake. In a big building full of corridors. He'd /tried/ thinking of it as a ship, or submarine, but... it hadn't helped.
Still, he'd found the cafeteria with the luck of his nose, maybe. Then something 'beeped', and someone was talking...
"You what?" He asked allowed, pondering if the direction had been given to him, before, rounding a corner, he found himself looking at a young grunt. "That old racket you, is it, lad?"

"Wish more o' the blighters could do things like that; that an easy set up t', uh, set up?" Porygon, huh; maybe he should see about getting one if they were that useful. "Your digital little pal there and my snoggin' seem to be in agreement, chap." Clancy agreed with Zacharie's statement, and the 'navigator'.
"Oh, no doubt, no doubt- ratmaze or no, I'll learn me way to the cheese, so I will; sewer man by trade, y'see, so ain't no bloomin' well lit tunnel maze gonna be my conqueror." He waved a hand dismissively. "Zac, eh? Nice ta meetcha Zac, and doncha worry about formality; 's an bloody over-rated, pompous construct, and I know your name now anyway, eh? Guess this silly git oughta give you 'is, an all; 'M Clancy, but y' can call me 'Eel' if y' like." A hand was thrust out in motion to shake.

"Agent Faleen; she's the blondie lass who likes the Sharpedos, right?" Clancy was pretty sure that the agent he'd met during pool cleaning was one 'Agent Faleen'... He made sure to try and remember the name properly now, upon learning that, apparently, not only was the agent a good person to talk to about Mircalla, perhaps she might enlighten him about how this whole pokémon inside a 'dex thing worked...
"Whichever's the most bloomin' comfy for yourself, lad; I'll bloody well answer to either." The red-head grinned, as Zacharie called him both names. "And, well, if it's no bother to you, I'd be plum pickled to do so; absolutely ******** famished, I am- enough to eat a whole bloody herd of ponyta!"

"Ah, there's truth," Clancy kept his amused expression, nodding in agreement with Zacharie on the subject of 'strangeness' "but I'll warrant I won't meet someone with quite your... manner about them again for a while, at least, I'd think so... So, the first?"
Clancy grinned and looked as though he was suitably impressed, or maybe pleased, to be 'the first of the week'. "Oh, well how about we keep that on a 'see how it goes' kinda basis, eh? That's generally what I do with people. If I see 'em, and I don't dislike 'em, I shoot 'em a happy greeting and maybe have a bit 'f a chinwag. As f'r my, uh, department... Well, I'm still a trainee so, uh, I don't have one as yet, so t' speak; betcha pound to a penny that it'll be bloody maintenance though... Medical and biology sounds pretty cracking; smart type, eh?"

Zacharie wasn't sure if he should take that as a compliment or not. "Mn, I don't much leave the botany labs so I tend to see the same people each day." He explained with a slight shrug, though a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "Which is why I have given myself the goal to meet two new people each week." He wasn't sure how well or how long it would work...if it worked at all, but no one could say that he wasn't trying to be more sociable.
"Ah, yes. That's reasonable, I hope that I am making a good impression." Clancy was nice to talk to and the way he talked reminded him a bit of Jerome. Meaning, he really wasn't entirely sure what he was talking about. "A...chinwag...?" His eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he tried to imagine what the red-head could mean. "Why on Earth would you want to wag your chin at someone? I'm not entirely sure that that would be good for your jaw after extended periods of time..." That actually sounded like a fairly interesting experiment. He wondered if he could convince someone to help him. Lu probably would....
"Huh?" He blinked owlishly, "Oh, I like to think that I'm advanced for my age but outside of Team Rocket I don't think that would matter much. I never finished high school so if I hadn't come here I doubt I would be able to do what I do now." Actually, he'd be dead. But that was neither here nor there. "There's nothing wrong with working maintenance...it takes a certain skill set to make sure that the base is running as efficiently as possible and I find that very respectable." He would loathe working in maintenance, but that didn't mean that it was a bad job. ...It just wasn't a job for him.

"Aah; fairly standard fair f'r a bloomin' science geek, though, right? Fair play to 'e, though; 's a bloody good idea to work at forming bonds with y' team mates..." Clancy nodded, then widened his eyes, and his grin stretched a little.
"Nah, a chinwag's not jus'... It's not some weird new age exercise or nothin'; 'chinwag'- 's slang. You know, for, eh, 'chat', talking, discussion. Talkin' makes your bloody chin wag, see?" He shook his head. "I think I'm gonna like you."
That gave him a slight pause. "Aye... 'S opportunity. Now. Y' say that, and I'm inclined to think I've got some bloody gumption and real skill at it all, y'see? But a lot of people, they don't get it... Menial tasks, t' them, means no effort, or knowledge; and that just ain't true, see? Now, sure, I couldn't ken anything 'bout ruddy biology or wotsits, but I can tell y' now that it ain't no good fixing a faucet to a system without a decent AAV in place; that's a skill, right?"
