69 | Private Text For Rockets

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[So instead of an audio tirade, there’s a short, simple text from Cobra Commander being sent out on the Rocket channel. After checking the PC this morning, he’s definitely not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.]

It seems that a number of Rockets are no longer with us. If any of you have recently received a Pokémon from one of them, please respond stating who it belonged to. I’m aware of at least four departures, and if there are more, it needs to be reported immediately.

[Now to try and not throw the PokéGear at something while he waits. Given that he’s already thrown an office chair, his helmet, and various papers around the room, there’s a good chance that the PokéGear’s next.]

Who's asking?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Cobra Commander.

[He just assumes that his name's familiar to everyone in the organization. And if it's not, Cobra feels that it should be.]

[nostabbing]

[...You know, when she was looking through the personnel files she'd kind of assumed that somebody had just put that name in as a joke—]

You're the guy who blew up the gym a couple weeks ago.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[He'd prefer to be known for things other than that tantrum, but he'll take what he can get.]

That's correct. I was the person responsible for attacking that building.

[blacklynx]

No new Pokémon here.

Things have just been awfully quiet.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I see. Thank you for your report.

And hopefully in this case, no news is good news.

[Because he really doesn't want to hear that they've lost more Rockets.]

[blacklynx]

I think we would have heard something from the higher ups if there was something else wrong.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I wouldn't count on that. It would hardly be the first time they've chosen to stay silent when things have gone awry.

[Voice]

[foxfiring]

A shame. I didn't receive any new pokémon. At least not that I'm aware of.

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

It is a shame. Some of them were incredibly skilled operatives.

[Voice]

[foxfiring]

I wouldn't know. Didn't spend much time around them.

[Dist is also a fan of text right now. He's not pleased at all about the current state of things.]

I have Kato's Steelix. I had a feeling something was wrong when he wasn't in his lab by the afternoon hours. Almost every trace of his existence is gone from the base.

Who else is missing?

[text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

In addition to the good doctor, we've lost Frank Archer, Solf J. Kimblee, and Ryuunosuke Uryuu. There may be more, I'm still waiting to hear if there have been any more disappearances.

[text]

[ortion]

Two Betas? What in the world...

I am aware that mass disappearances happen at times, but we've never lost so many of our own at once.

I will call around the bases to see how much of the science department is intact.

[Voice]

[eyes_are_uphere]

[Why she's even bothering with this anymore is anyone's guess, but might as well... mostly play nice.]

Can't say that I've gained anything new or know of anyone that's disappeared. Not that it'd... be much help if I had.

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Of course it would be helpful. If additional personnel vanished, and you received something from them, you could provide their names.

But thank you for your report.

[Voice]

[eyes_are_uphere]

Mm. Of course. Not that I'm particularly... popular around the compounds.

If I find out anything, I'll let you know.

[faketime]

[... Well this is an interesting development, and a rather suspicious one at that. He's not really sure what to make of it. He needs more information first.]

It seems that the science division has received quite a hit, but I have not much else to report.

Has this happened before?

[text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

We've lost multiple personnel in such a short span before, but I can't recall the last time we've lost so many valuable ones.

[text]

[faketime]

[Hmmm...]

Was it limited to Team Rocket members alone, or were they mixed in with disappearances of other non-natives?

[Text]

[dressofheaven]

I have Mr. Kimblee's Steelix with me. Was he on the list already?

[It's a lot easier to hide her emotional reaction to this with text, so she appreciates it.]

[Text]

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yes, he was. I've have three of his Pokemon with me.

[lolighostgirl]

And you are~

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

[Ugh, he will never understand why people insist on typing in various colors.]

Cobra Commander.

[lolighostgirl]

[It's cute! Not like your ugly texts. :x]

Oh, so you're the one who blew up the gyms. <3~

So, when people leave, their Pokémon is received by someone? Is that how it works?
