Scene One: Act Three [Text]

[tickleironysjudgment]

Well, it seems I've become quite well adjusted to this new world. Already I find myself in the company of some fellow academics and researchers of various backgrounds. While this world still confuses me in some respects, I feel I've found myself a place that will be quite conducive to my new field of study into these magnificent creatures.


[Filtered to Archer and Cobra]
I was able to establish contact with Gorthan, he has welcomed me into the Goldenrod facility and I will be working with him from now on. Thank you, gentlemen. I very much appreciate the assistance and look forward to working with you.



[Filtered to Dante]
I would like to pose some questions to you, if I may. It is understood that hungers of various sorts can make a devil of a good man. Why, then, do you stand by the side of such foolish, capricious creatures as humans? If it is for our so-called virtue then are you not as well possessed of such? What love have you for humans, Dante? You, a demon, who seems to care for these sinful, stubborn things called man.

If even you, a devil, are capable of such a love then you must understand the line between us grows thin indeed. The difference between us grows evermore one of simple physiological nature, rather than the elusive thing you so quickly venture to posit. Perhaps it is folly for me to so quickly assume this situation, but humor me the hypothetical if you will.

How fare your observations, Sister? Can you tell me anything of his current activities and status?

We may well be. Might I venture to ask, are you by any chance working in the Goldenrod area?

[[He thought as much.]]

I might be. Yourself?

[tickleironysjudgment]

I am, indeed. And by your answer I will venture the following.

[text- private] 2/2

[tickleironysjudgment]

You work for Team Rocket. The R&D division, perhaps?

[text- private]

[artfuldestruction]

[[What's that? It's smug villainy time? Don't mind if I do!]]

The very same. I believe we are colleagues, then; my name is Dr Kato. Whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?

[text- private]

[tickleironysjudgment]

I am Agnus, currently working with- rather under for the time being- Gorthan. He has most graciously accepted my request to transfer into his laboratory. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Doctor.

[text- private]

[artfuldestruction]

Ah yes, I'm quite familiar with Gorthan. I work under him myself.

Are you aquainted with any other members of the Team Rocket science division?

[text- private]

[tickleironysjudgment]

Not yet, I'm afraid to say. I haven't yet had the chance to meet many members of the organization as a whole. I became acquainted with Cobra Commander and Colonel Archer of the other divisions, but my range of acquaintances remains only that.

[artfuldestruction]

You're new, then. Lucky you.

[[The current communication medium doesn't quite convey the cynicism behind Kato's words; he's from a world far more advanced than this one, and he's getting rather sick of it.]]

I'm sure you'll meet the rest of us in time; we're a rather mixed bag of individuals.

[text- private]

[tickleironysjudgment]

[Oh, Agnus is well acquainted with cynical plays on words and layered dialog. He picks up on it, as he is fond of using civil words to disguise hate and aggression.]

Oh? Well, this sounds likely to be a most entertaining tenure. Do tell, if there is no trouble in asking.

[artfuldestruction]

Well, you've met Gorthan, our esteemed overlord, but there's also Descole (he's French, I believe?), who you won't be able to miss; he wears a mask and a rather...dramatic green outfit, but he's quite decent, all things considered. Then there's Caroline, the most robotic woman you'll ever meet with a most amusing fear of heights. Then there's her friend, Wheatley, but I haven't met him yet.

And myself, of course. My specialty is explosives; I consider myself something of an artist.

[text- private]

[tickleironysjudgment]

Explosives, you say? Artistic indeed. One requires a most deft and careful touch with them.

Well then, Dr. Kato it will be my great pleasure to work with you and all the others I hope.

[artfuldestruction]

[[If this wasn't over text he would bow or do something similarly classy! Because he's a classy bastard, dammit.]]

I'm sure the pleasure will be all mine, Agnus.
