[AUDIO / PRIVATE - TEAM ROCKET FREQUENCY]

Good evening.

[The voice that comes over the 'Gear tonight is calm, at least; soft and open, a bit high-pitched perhaps, but generally not unpleasant to listen to. Confident, in a bit of a self-satisfied way. So it goes.]

My name is Solf J Kimblee; I hold the rank of Beta within this organization. I suppose I owe you all an apology for being away from the organization itself for so long.

I think it's time to remedy that a bit.

As one of the field agents in charge of assisting with the training of the new recruits, I would like to extend an invitation to all of you - particularly the new ones that I have yet to meet, although I would like to see those I'm already acquainted with as well. It isn't an order; again, it's just an invitation to talk. I would like to get to know all of you, and to have a fuller understanding of your talents. Should you require orders or simply want something to do, I may have a proposal for you; we'll see.

I would prefer meeting you in person; I'm in the Goldenrod base for the time being, but if you're currently elsewhere, neither time nor money is a problem for me. Let me know where you are; I'll meet up with you.

I must say that I'm pleased with the work I've seen so far, however. Do keep it up, hm?

I don't really think that's necessary. I get what you were saying, after all. People don't think like us.

[WELL, MAYBE YOU DON'T THINK IT'S NECESSARY, BUT IT'S JUST GOING TO BOTHER HIM NOW

ARCHER, DO YOU HAVE A DICTIONARY AMONG ALL THESE BODICE-RIPPERS IN YOUR BAG? LET'S CHECK WHILE YOU'RE STILL OUT

...he'll still talk to you, junior, don't worry. He's just a man on a mission. :| ]

Mm, exactly. Their opinions in general matter very little to me; they're interesting as points in arguments, I suppose, but valid for very little else - at the same time, working out how people think is always relevant.

I imagine you're well aware of that by now yourself - didn't you say that you haven't been caught, despite what you do?

[OH MY GOD YOU LEAVE HIS BODICE-RIPPERS OUT OF THIS!!!]

Of course. I do a pretty good job of covering my tracks, if I do say so myself~ But if I wasn't limited by what society and people think of murder, then I could target anyone I wanted. It would be amazing!

[Senior, what are you doing over there...]

Don't you think that it would take some of the challenge out of it? I know you've said that you're more interested in the reward than the process, but surely there must be some pleasure in the leadup to it? Anticipation, perhaps?

[THERE IT IS

F...G...H...]

That's true. It wouldn't be as much fun if it was socially acceptable. But I'd prefer not to have to worry about being caught! Besides, I don't really plan anything out - I just get the urge to attack and I work from there. I mean, I've got a lot of the little details ironed out already - you know, where to pick up people, how to choose who won't be missed, what to do with the bodies, all that good stuff - but I don't really plan anything out.

[Heresy, heresy, heres - ...ah, there it is.

...

...............Well.

Damn. Really?]

I actually can understand that much, to an extent; many people have asked me what the next target is going to be, and while I do like having a set plan a fair amount of the time, most of the things I've done in Johto have been more or less spontaneous. I've rather enjoyed doing it that way, actually; it's a bit different to what I'm used to, but I must admit that the unknown elements add something to it that I'm liking more than I thought I would.

[Told you.]

Johto's a great place for it too! The police here are so lax that even if you are caught, it won't matter for long! It's a shame death doesn't work here, otherwise I'd have plenty of victims!

[Like Whitney! Ooh, she'd be so much fun to cut up...]

Your attacks have all been really great, sir. I honestly would have thought you planned them all out months in advance!

Well, as I've mentioned to you and Miss Peacock in the past, my work back home involves heavy amounts of improvisation; remind me to tell you about the incident in Drachma sometime. Purely improvised plan, brought down an entire army.

[He is so goddamn smug.]

In the meantime, however, you'll have to let me see the results of your work on this power plant of yours - and regardless of how lax the local law enforcement is, do try not to let yourself get caught. I would hate to let the future assignments I have for you go to waste.

An entire army? Whoa, no way! How'd you pull that off?

And don't worry about it, sir! I won't let them catch me~

I'll let you know when you return.

Best of luck to you until then.

[And that, quite simply, is that. End feed!]
