Eighty-Fourth Launch

For those who knew her, Miki Hoshii is gone. She's returned home.

I have her Munna. If you received any of her Pokémon, please let me know. I want to make sure that they're all accounted for.

I'm going to remain in Goldenrod City for now. I want to see what kind of information on Team Rocket I can dig up here. Especially on what degree of control, if any, they have on the radio tower.

You'd probably have more luck cracking a heavily encrypted file rather than sneaking in.

[...Oh hey he's being an ass again, but at the very least it really seemed like he's just doing the motions rather than being into it.]

[infinitejustice]

In that case, it's fortunate that I'm good at both kinds of task. After all, there's no such thing as a truly unassailable stronghold.

[impulsives]

I guess we can give the 'sharpest sword meets the strongest shield' thing a try, yeah.

[infinitejustice]

Before I do anything, though, I want to hear what other people have discovered. The more information we have, the better.

[impulsives]

Stiiill sticking to the rules, huh.

[Well, he does that too...

Rarely.

It's a miracle both Athrun and Kira could work with him for a long period of time...]

Report what you find as soon as you can. Taking back the tower may be a priority at some point.

[infinitejustice]

I will. And either way, we need to take that tower back sooner or later. Control of the radio waves is something we shouldn't allow to persist.

[soggypastry]

Especially when we have no way of knowing exactly what they're capable of with that power. [sigh.] Tell someone before you go in, if you do. We'll all be better off knowing if we need to stage a rescue or not.

[infinitejustice]

I will -- that's a promise. I've learned my lesson.

[soggypastry]

Good to know someone has. [yes, that was a frown in her tone.] Charging ahead recklessly causes more trouble than it fixes.

[stellar_loussier]

[ Tugging on his sleeve. ]

Athrun? Miki gone? Miki gone where?

When is Miki coming ... back?

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun sees Stellar, and his face betrays an even sadder expression.]

She went home. Back to her own world.

...I don't know. I don't even know that she will come back.

[stellar_loussier]

She will come back. [ Insisting on this. ]

She ... promised to help Stellar be pretty.

[infinitejustice]

[Athrun closes his eyes for a moment and places his hand on her shoulder.]

Don't worry. That isn't something that will take much effort.

[stellar_loussier]

[ Shaking her head. ]

Stellar doesn't ... want to lose friend ...

You think you might be able to find something there?

[infinitejustice]

I'm certain I will if I kick over the right stones. There's been too much Rocket activity in Goldenrod for them to not have something here, and I'm certain that they also have control over the radio tower.

[thewhite_symphony]

I see. Recon then?

But, Athrun ... don't even think about doing anything dangerous alone ...

[infinitejustice]

I won't. I've already assured Lightning that I'd have backup.

[thewhite_symphony]

Good. Because if anything happened to you, I will never forgive you.

I will try to see what I can find here in Violet. If I remember correctly, Team Rocket did damage here not long ago.

[chosen_light_child]

What are you planning on doing as far as finding that out goes?

[infinitejustice]

For starters, I'll simply comb the city for information. Look for anything suspicious, listen to snippets of conversation, visit any place open to the publc...

Things like that.

[chosen_light_child]

*She nods.*

Hopefully you'll be able to find something out then. I mean, it's doubtful that you're going to come across someone who'll admit everything in the open where anyone can overhear him.

...But there should still be some things they'll let slip that they might not realize are as important as it is.

[infinitejustice]

Exactly. And I have experience picking up on that sort of thing.

[chosen_light_child]

That's good.

If I had experience with that I'd go to try to help you... but I don't, so I'd probably just get in the way.
