021. [Anonymous Text + Images/Locked Audio - Rocket Frequency]

[ANONYMOUS TEXT + IMAGES]

[Kimblee hasn't been back in Goldenrod City for very long; he's well aware of the attack on the Tower, however - his contacts here have made him very aware of that.

He's well aware that he shouldn't do anything rash; however, his pride does have quite the tendency to get involved in decisions where it really has no goddamn business being, and as such, an anonymous text goes out over the network.

Seth's clearly making a reappearance tonight.]


It seems some of you have been enjoying yourselves lately.

[There's no clarification regarding exactly what he's talking about; however, there are, as usual, pictures accompanying the text.

The first is par for the course, as Seth goes; a set of six Pokéballs held in gloved hands, on chest-level with the person holding them - his face isn't visible, but the red R insignia on his uniform clearly is, even in the dim light of the room.

The next three photographs are decidedly more straightforward, in terms of what he's trying to get across; each image contains two Pokémon in heavy, reinforced cages set up in front of a black backdrop of some sort - birds, all of them. They seem alive, though "unharmed" is a bit of a stretch; they seem to have been roughed up quite a bit.

More text, clearly continuing on from the first line.]


So have I.

[One more image follows, similar to the first - though instead of Pokéballs clasped in his hands, he has a white card pinned between his index and middle fingers, the words written on it scrawled out in thick, blocky lettering as though someone had gone over the words repeatedly, obscuring any sort of distinctive handwriting for the sake of making them far less identifiable.

TELL FALKNER THAT SETH SAYS HELLO.]



[AUDIO / PRIVATE - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

[And a few hours later, once Kimblee has decided he's done instigating for the day, the Rockets will be granted something decidedly more sane and far less...uh, directly ominous.]

A good evening to all of you; I hope that it finds you well.

[Again, the voice over the locked Rocket frequency tonight is calm and possibly surprisingly pleasant, especially given what one usually encounters around the base in Goldenrod; the person speaking is clearly a bit soft-spoken and his voice is gentle in a bit of a high-pitched sort of way, but there's firmness behind his words. Authority. A bit of arrogance, perhaps, but it's just as easily taken for confidence.]

My name is Solf J Kimblee; I hold the rank of Beta in this organization. It's been quite some time since I've been in our beloved hometown; regrettably, business has kept me away, but it won't be that way for much longer.

To those new to the organization - I welcome you to Johto, and I would like to take the time to get to know you personally. I can offer you work and opportunities, should you require direction; should you just want someone to speak to regarding your sudden arrival in this world, I would like to help you - I can't promise you answers, but I can offer my assistance in any way I can. For those who have arrived recently, but haven't met with me personally yet, I would like to invite you to do so as well.

And those of you who have been here for a while - I'll expect some sort of proper report from at least one of you, regarding the incident that occurred last week. Many of you know exactly how well I adhere to Equivalent Exchange; offer me valid information and I'll gladly reward you.

I look forward to speaking with all of you; I would prefer meeting in person, simply know where you are and I'll gladly meet you.

Until then~

Yes, we are. In fact, we're engaged.

[He sounds very pleased with that! Just. ignore how bizarre this is, okay.]

[Oh come on, what is that expression for?]

I believe you heard me. We're engaged.

[...that explains what happened to those birds, at least. Why can't this guy have fallen off a ledge already? Or onto somebody's fist...darn she wishes she'd been able to clock him back then.]

You really do like setting people off, don't you.

[Hardly a needed question, considering this behavior matches that of Seth's previous network actions, but still. How many well-meaning reckless people is she going to have to talk down this time?]

I wouldn't be calling if it were just about the grandstanding.

[Story of Logan's life, tbh...]

Not at all. We should be married by now, but it's a bit too cold for any sort of public ceremony.

[.........oh wait, you were talking about the engagement itself, weren't you.]

Ah, well, in regards to the engagement it's... well, I suppose it might be a bit sudden, yes, but it is something I've wanted for quite some time.

Thank you.

Care to tell me what that look is for?

Is mistreating the birds really necessary.

An outside attack?

[Cobra hadn't considered that.]

Why sssset the building on fire? Unlike some other unfortunate locations, we surely must have the resources to deal with sssuch a thing!
doitrockapella: (ASIDE ❖ we don't talk about maelstrom)

[personal profile] doitrockapella 2013-01-23 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's one thing to keep them captive. It's another to harm them while you're doing it.

[This is probably the complete opposite of taking a deep breath and calming down, but Cobra's rather unhappy right now.]

If it was an attack, then we should ssstrike back! Ssstrike back with something that makes their attempt at arson look like a ssscout's campfire by comparison!
doitrockapella: (BOW ❖ holy shit was that an honorific)

Were you given specific orders not to treat them with dignity while your organization holds them captive?

Good evening, Mr. Kimblee. It is good to hear from you again.

[With that out of the way, he probably should explain last week's fiasco...]

There was an attack on the radio tower. Whoever it was did not reach the labs, but they did try to smoke out the entire building. Most of the damage has been cleaned up, but several of our grunts were injured from the event.

[He pauses for a moment.] I'm not quite sure what they were after, but they certainly didn't make out with much. What I want to know is how they found us out in the first place.
