-should have anticipated the projected levels, been ready for their assault.
[A groan, obviously pained. Some labored breaths.]
Where is the blasted hydrocodone? Med bay staff cannot get here quickly enough!
[Another groan, a bit longer this time. Then a hiss.]
This isn't over...I have a surprise in store for those impudent fools.
[Video Feed]
[The camera flicks on to the darkened setting of the laboratory in Goldenrod, the faint lighting revealing only shadowy traces of human outlines. In the background of the feed is a strange gyroscope-esque device on a table. The click of a pokeball goes off twice in rapid succession, and a Gallade and Metagross manifest from their confines. The pair are wearing strange bracelet devices, and turn quickly to face the camera.]
Proceed.
[Agnus' voice, clear as daylight. The pokemon begin immediately with summoning up psychic energy for an attack. Behind them, the gyroscope begins to glow and spin rapidly in response to the power flowing into it.
Then? Then, the two pokemon are quickly surrounded by an all too familiar aura. Flickering flame-like trails of red and deep blue. Almost exactly like demons in Devil Trigger.]
Enjoy your victory, Son of Sparda.
[Agnus begins to chuckle under his breath. The laughter grows as the aura intensifies, eventually peaking at a feverish, maniacal fit.]
Soon, now. Soon. You will face merciless, cold wrath! Vengeance will be mine! First, the children, and then you!

They left us half-conscious so that we wouldn't return to the center. My associate and I are quite injured, but, the experiment proved marvelously informative.

It must be pretty back from what you sound like. The med team isn't there still?

...you really want me to kill you again, don't you?

Date: 2012-08-04 11:43 am (UTC)From:I think it might be amusing to see you try. I take it you enjoyed the show? How wonderful.
[A dry, breathy chuckle.]

Date: 2012-08-05 04:56 am (UTC)From:Hardly. It's cute that you worked so hard to get my attention; hope you didn't stay up all night just for me.
[Audio]
Date: 2012-08-05 09:32 pm (UTC)From:While I hope I don't actually need to explain this, the aura is no mere superficial touch. When I find you, Dante; and you rest assured I can at any moment in time and will, you will witness firsthand just how far my work has come. I will leave you in the very same state you left me, and then find ways to improve upon your work.

Date: 2012-08-06 01:58 am (UTC)From:Besides, Dante, I know fully well that the 'outbreak' is over. You have no power over anything. Just a normal, frail little human again. Perfectly subject to the crushing force of psychic fields.

Date: 2012-08-04 11:54 am (UTC)From:[He gives a dry but airy chuckle.]
Gorthan and I left for Saffron after a specific Wild Mutant was captured by a team I requested find him for study. We were experimenting on him in the nearby Celadon facility when a small team of Wild Mutants who knew him assaulted the facility. We had attempted to see one of them captured previous to the assault, Gorthan left for Goldenrod on assignment just short of the capture attempt but the attempt was thwarted and they were lead to me.
...Two of the three decided it would be best if they left me half-conscious. Specifically to keep me from returning to a center uninjured.
[audio]
Date: 2012-08-07 03:43 pm (UTC)From:[Yes, audibly this time. That was quite a story.]
How did they even find you?
[Because asking if Agnus is okay is obviously not a thought in the front of Dist's mind right now.]
[audio]
Date: 2012-08-08 04:37 am (UTC)From:[A very small growl.]
Much to my irritation, rather obviously.
[Audio.]
Date: 2012-08-04 05:42 am (UTC)From:Where are you, Agnus? Hang in there!
[Audio.]
Date: 2012-08-04 11:55 am (UTC)From:I'm glad you got away before they came.
[A groan.]

Date: 2012-08-05 10:21 pm (UTC)From:He doesn't care about which experiments have gone awry and which ones have succeeded. Right now, all that matters is that one of his very few and precious friends in this strange world is badly hurt and needs help.
He enters Agnus' room careful not to make a sound, just in case his friend is asleep.]

Date: 2012-08-04 06:59 am (UTC)From:What happened?

Date: 2012-08-04 11:57 am (UTC)From:[He's trying to be pleasant, but there's an obvious forcedness to his tone. Injuries to the lungs, maybe.]

Date: 2012-08-04 07:42 pm (UTC)From:You'll have to tell me more about all this once you've recovered. Can you make it to the Center?
[He's... not exactly around to help since he just recently left Goldenrod.]
And what of these attackers? Can you identify them? We've put marks on several people who have attacked the team in the past, we would be more than happy to assist you in teaching them a lesson.
[A pause. When he continues, Archer's voice is without the usual smirk and the feed is locked.]
I understand if you would prefer to go after them yourself. But it might be for the best to have an unrelated third party apprehend them. They won't see it coming. Kimblee has an excellent track record and it would be no problem for me to send him after them. Of course if you believe them to be too powerful for one man alone to handle, I would be honored to help.
[...It's been awhile and someone's a little antsy.]
[AUDIO - LOCKED]
Date: 2012-08-04 11:27 pm (UTC)From:[And here comes a wince and some coughing. Give him a moment to catch his breath.]
Apologies. I have sustained several injuries to the chest. She was also affected. We attempted to lure her to Celadon and capture her. She was being followed by two high-level infected. They assaulted the facility we were performing the experiments in. The subject was lost, and I was heavily injured.
However, I have a plan for them. Allow me to show you the current fruits of my work, Colonel.
[Agnus sends Archer the video file he had sent to Dante, the very same footage down to the second for him to view and examine.]
We broke 95%, Colonel. And, the aura they developed is a brilliant coincidence. In my world, the same world the attackers and the subject come from, that aura is the sign of extremely powerful demonic creatures. The attackers who accompanied the female are demon hunters, and that aura is something that even they fear and resent.
[Is that some terribly obvious pride and smug in his tone, despite being pretty damned banged up? Oh, yes it is.]
Needless to say. I am quite happy about this. Psychological warfare is a profoundly useful thing, isn't it?
[AUDIO - LOCKED]
Date: 2012-08-05 01:22 am (UTC)From:You're well on your way to a promotion at this rate. I want to see just what this is capable of in the future; but for now, focus on getting better. If you need anything, do let me know.
[AUDIO - LOCKED]
Date: 2012-08-05 02:14 am (UTC)From:[Have some smirk back, Colonel, just...kinda tired and injured smirk with the odd raspy note to his voice from what could be a broken rib.]
The results will be presented to Proton once we finish the next round of tests. Dist and I will be going over the designs once we go through the results of the latest experiments, then we can set a design for the field devices.
