[Greetings from the desk of Agnus, fellow Rockets! Agnus is seated at his desk, the camera angled to the whiteboard behind him, and some stacks of papers are at the side.]
Hello, everyone. I would like to remind all of the kind souls who have volunteered their pokemon to the Goldenrod labs that research trials will begin as of this announcement. Anyone who has agreed to allow their pokemon for testing may contact me at leisure to coordinate days and times for best convenience.
[He reaches over to shuffle through his papers for a few moments, then nods thoughtfully.]
Thank you, the experiment is nearing fruition.
[Private Message to Dist]
Fantastic news, Ser Rose. We have come very close to isolating a baseline psychic wavelength. Once we-
[A pause, he moves his arm in mid-sentence and knocks a small stack of papers over in excitment.]
Oh, b-b-blast.
[Then picks them back up to shuffle them together and set them aside.]
Come find me when you have a moment and we can discuss the next phase of the experiment, once we have the frequency we can design a machine to produce it.

[Message for Dist and Gorthan]
...By the way, gentlemen. There's a stay pup in our confinement center. His name is Nero and, if you don't mind, I need him to be kept in his cage for the time being.
[Have a delightfully malevolent grin, then he cuts the feed.]

I could have watched that impure, ignoble world burn. And then, seen humans suffer for their fickle, ignorant ways.

After hearing that, I must ask: what are your goals here? You have a second chance, and your personal project is quickly coming along. Soon, it will be finished. Obviously it is for Team Rocket's use, but what do you really plan to do with it?
[Usually he doesn't pry about these things or care because scientists have their own reasoning behind what they do, but he likes to know the people he's working with, producing things for. Especially since Agnus basically just said he wanted to destroy his world. He's sounding eerily similar to someone Dist worked for previously.]

Date: 2012-08-03 07:08 pm (UTC)From:Pokemon, though. These creatures changed the equation. Invited new perspectives. The symbiosis was an intriguing thing to consider. Perhaps this world was different enough. Humans seemed to live more simply in some ways, more in tune with the way of nature, less abrasively to the environment and the planet; even more reverent in some ways.]
I do not know what the future will hold. Ser Rose, I detest humans. I loath how callous, fickle, ignorant, and destructive they are. How little they revere the world, revere the glory of creation. Respect and fear the architect, even.
However...this world seems different. Humans live in ways less abrasive, less offensive. They revere and praise, not disregard and abuse. For now I do not feel the same hatred as I had before. I am willing to continue my work, if for no other reason than to assist Team Rocket in providing the fear of 'God' to enforce in the hearts of foolish humans.
[He nods to himself, but glances at Dist and meets his eyes.]
My aims are different now. I will not invite the fires of perdition upon this world, but I will observe. I will judge for myself if this world is indeed a fitting place for a man of my cloth.
