030. [Anon Text + Images.]

[Well, good afternoon, network - it's been a few months since this particular device has been active. There's an ID assigned to it, of course; those familiar with Team Rocket's activities in the past may recognize it as belonging to the individual calling himself Seth.

He's been inactive lately, as far as crime goes; that doesn't mean he hasn't been busy.

Today's message comes with a few lines of text and an attachment; the text is definitely deliberate, to say the least.]


What does this world mean to you? Do you think it's something worth protecting, or would you rather sit on the sidelines and watch it burn? This place is more than sunshine and Pokémon battles. If given the choice to make a difference, would you take it?

[As usual, there's a set of photos attached to the message; the first few show a desk in a nondescript room, covered in various mechanical things - those who are familiar with incendiary devices and triggers in your world will likely recognize them. The rest?

Those are bombs. A lot of bombs.

The last two are the usual shot of the Rocket member in question, in full Team uniform and shot from about chest-level, keeping his face and other defining features out of the shot. He's not holding anything stolen this time around; rather, it's one of those white cards that he's used to deliver messages before, 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 it far less identifiable.

LET'S HAVE A WAR.


The final shot is similar to the first; only the card has changed.

OLIVINE CITY.

YOU HAVE THREE DAYS.

[Hmm... Well, ultimately, what does he have to lose? At worst, he could get spoonfed lies. At best, maybe it'll give him and the team a slight edge.]

Got a couple of questions, though I doubt you'll answer all of them.

- Why Olivine? Is it the fact that it's out of the way, while most of the trainers here stick to Goldenrod?

- Suppose we do show up. What then? Technically, there's nothing stopping you from setting those bombs off before we lift a finger.

- If it's a war you're after, do you expect to drag the locals into this?

- So it's not even to make a statement of some kind, huh? Just for the heck of it?

- Sure, you could say that, though I doubt you'd answer honestly about it. The way I see it, either we don't show and you trigger the bombs or we do, and you could do it anyway.

- Well, there are some locals with some pretty impressive firepower, like the Gym Leaders. If you wanted a serious war, it'd make sense to hit all the bases.
