-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!

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?

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.
