TBG: 	...where's Theo?
Kaorin Sakura: 	You'll need to drop him onto the map.
Mike: 	Oh, swapping out old tokens for new.
Mike: 	Okay, I think I'm ready... Wait, Lauren took some damage.
Aishen: 	Aishen loses 0 hit points.
	Iele: 	Iele loses 0 hit points.
	Lauren: 	Lauren loses 25 hit points.
	Iele: 	Iele loses 0 hit points.
	Lauren: 	(There we go, that seems about right.)
	Aishen: 	(ready)
TBG: 	Ready.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Swap out the right tokens, Aishen?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Also, Dan, Trainer XP last session was 3/
	Theo: 	Thank you.
Kaorin Sakura: 	January 4th, 4:54 A.M.
52 degrees and 60% humidity.
Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	Aishen: 	Aishen loses 16 hit points.
You whisper to Mike: Also, you have permissions of that radio.
Lauren whispers: Got it.
	Lauren: 	(Okay, so last I remember, we'd taken on some Shuppets, and caught two of 'em. Aishen wanted one of them to be a guide...)
	Aishen: 	"so Lauren. Where are we headed?"
The old lab-like area is dusty and grimy. The air is heavy with moisture with a distinct click echoing throughout the halls every few moments or so. Very faint and slow whirring can be heard but the place doesn't seem to be with power.
	Lauren: 	"Dunno..." She looks at the Shuppet. "So, d'you know anywhere we might find more information 'bout this place?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gah, awkward roleplay.
	Lauren: 	(Sorry. If you prefer, Lauren can also mess with the tape player to see if she can get any info out of it.)
* Iele glances to Lauren with a tilted head.
	Aishen: 	"We're looking for things that go into that thing."
* Aishen points to the tape player
Kaorin Sakura: 	Go go gadget Pokédex!
* Kaorin Sakura checks INT.
* Aishen returns Needles
	Lauren: 	(I have Shuppet at Int 4)
	Iele: 	17
* Iele nods and points all around itself.
	Lauren: 	"Well... Hm. Y'aint wrong."
* Aishen sighs, his tail twitching.
	Aishen: 	"Useless thing
	Iele: 	14
* Iele checks the shelf.
	Aishen: 	"Maybe not so useless."
	Theo: 	"Indeed. We should gather what information we can."
	Aishen: 	3 Perception
* Theo scans the contents of the shelves.
* Lauren smiles. "Okay! Now we're gettin' somewhere." She also checks the shelf - Perception, 16
* Aishen also searches the shelf.
	Theo: 	13 Perception.
	Lauren: 	(Does Iele get a search as well? Though I admit I don't know the DCs for the modified system yet, so maybe we did well enough.)
Lauren finds a dusty old Cassette Tape.
	Lauren: 	"Aha! Lime, bring th' player over here."
	Lime: 	"Free~!" *lugs*
	Theo: 	(how about what kinds of books and stuff are on the shelves?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Lesse here...for Theo...
Kaorin Sakura: 	11
* Lauren takes a quick look at the tape before putting it in. Is it already rewound? If not, she'll take note of about how far along it is, and then put it in, rewind it, and hit 'play'.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Majority of the contents on the shelf has been molded away though there seems to be a single book wher esome of its pages remain legible.
* Theo takes down the book and begins reading.
* Aishen listens intently to the old tape deck.
* Radio (Old) begins playing the tape. There's a heavy static feedback while playing and the radio seems to emit sound audible enough that its almost speaking itself.
	Radio (Old): 	"Amber..."
	Radio (Old): 	"Where did you go...?"
	Radio (Old): 	"Without you..."
	Radio (Old): 	"I'm..."
* Radio (Old) crackles up loudly and spits the tape out.
* Cassette Tape film appears to be a scrambled mess.
	Lauren: 	o.o
	Aishen: 	"Stupid junk."
* Aishen kicksthe radio
	Theo: 	"Amber... looks like we have our first clue."
	Lime: 	"Free!"
* Lime chases after the radio as it goes clattering.
* Aishen looks at Theo, then the scrambled mess on the floor.
	Radio (Old): 	9
* Radio (Old) suffers a dent by seems to be functional still.
Radio (Old): (( but* ))
	Theo: 	(contents of the book?)
* Aishen kneels and begin gathering the contents of the tape, and puts it in his pack.
* Lime picks the radio up, and hands it back to Lauren. "Free."
	Lauren: 	"S'okay, Lime. Looks like it'll work, still - though that tape, I dunno."
* Lauren gives the radio a quick once-over with a technical eye. It wasn't the radio that broke the tape, was it? Edu: Tech, 11
You whisper to TBG: The book seems to be about a missing link. Some sort of genetic connection between Pok�mon and Humans. It later delves into ancestry and the findings seem to suggest that Pok�mon and Humans, in theory, have the same ancestor. There's a photo of a Pok�mon which is referenced for experimentation but the photo is mostly gone.
You whisper to TBG: GIve me an Education (Pok�mon) to make out the image.
	Theo: 	11
You whisper to Mike: From your analysis the Radio is fine, despite the damage it just suffered. The tape film was likely too old and molded.
	Aishen: 	"Could Amber be my mom?"
You whisper to TBG: Mew.
	Lauren: 	"Could-" Lauren looks up, starts to say something, and then... can't find the words. So she closes her mouth, and pockets the Radio.
	Theo: 	--Mysterious Book added to the Court Record--
	Aishen: 	"Lets look around some more. Maybe we'll find something else.
	Lauren: 	"Yeah." Lauren keeps an eye on Iele and Aishen as they move ahead, and starts following them.
* Theo stashes the book in his bag. "Good idea. There are some pieces of the puzzle that don't quite fit yet."
You whisper to Mike: Added the radio and cassette to your pokehome. In the notes it has the text.
	Lauren: 	"Hm - boxes. Lots of old stuff in here, I guess."
Mike: 	w Kaorin danke!
Mike: 	(...)
* Lauren will check out one of these big cardboard boxes for a bit. Anything of interest in 'em? 16 Perception.
* Theo pulls out a notepad and begins scribbling furiously.
* Aishen Aishen looks back and sees Lauren searching a box so he also does. 4 Perception.
Kaorin Sakura: 	10
Kaorin Sakura: 	57
Lauren finds an Apicot Berry!
It must've been stashed there by someone as it's fresh.
	Lauren: 	"Hm..." *pulls out Berry* "...Wow. This is... not a pile'a mold."
	Lauren: 	"...Either someone freeze-dried this right, or someone stashed a fresh lunch here."
	Aishen: 	"So something intelligent is here?"
	Theo: 	"It could be that the wild Pokemon brought that in here."
	Lauren: 	"Maybe."
	Lauren: 	"Ain't so sure though.."
* Aishen shouts "MOM!! DAD!!"
	Theo: 	"What?!"
* Lauren saw something move from the corner of her eye!
	Lauren: 	"Wha-"
	Theo: 	What is this place?
	Lauren: 	"Dunno, but somethin' was here."
	Lauren: 	"Saw it, just now, but then it ran off."
	Theo: 	(No seriously, what is that thing in the middle of the floor, Kao?)
	Aishen: 	"Where?"
	Lauren: 	"It was right here." *points to the ground*
Kaorin Sakura: 	A dump shute.
	Aishen: 	It's justa box
	Theo: 	(Ah. Thanks)
	Aishen: 	"Just a box."
* Aishen kicks the box.
Lauren whispers: can I see it between the boxes up there?
You whisper to Mike: Yup.
	Aishen: 	"Hey. It went this way!"
* Lauren sees something to the north, and- "-Hunh? No, it's right there." *points north*
	Theo: 	"Aishen! Don't run off without us!"
	Aishen: 	"It just ran This way."
* Aishen points east
	Lime: 	"...Free?"
* Theo points a Pokedex towards the object to the north.
* Lauren tries to peer between the boxes quickly. Is it hostile? Intuition, 16
	Pokedex: 	"Ditto, the Transform Pokémon. Normal type. It can transform into anything. When it sleeps, it changes into a stone to avoid being attacked."
You whisper to Mike: It doesn't seem to be immediately hostile but it does appear to be incredibly wary.
	Theo: 	"Ditto... not the most common of Pokemon"
* Aishen stares at the strange pokemon.
	Lauren: 	"Naw, but it's spooked. Not like I ain't either... Hey, buddy, S'okay. We ain't here to hurt anyone." (more intuition, 18)
	Aishen: 	"Hey little guy. What'cha doing in here?"
* Aishen stares at Aishen.
* Aishen blinks his eye's rapidly. "Umm. Whats goig on?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	What're you trying to do there, Lauren?
	Theo: 	"If I had to hazard a guess..." *Points Pokedex at the newly appearing Aishen*
	Lauren: 	(make it less wary of us. We aren't the enemy here, we're just as spooked and lost as you are.)
	Pokedex: 	"Ditto, the Transform Pokémon. Normal type. It can reconstitute its entire cellular structure to change into what it sees, but it returns to normal when it relaxes."
* Aishen growls at himself.
* Aishen growls at Aishen.
	Theo: 	"I thought so"
* Lauren gapes when she sees it transform into... her!
	Theo: 	"What did you find there, Lauren?"
	Theo: 	"Ditto can Transform into whatever they see- including us."
	Aishen: 	"Stop that!"
* Lime looks back and forth between, uh... Lauren and Lauren.
	Aishen: 	"No! You stop that!"
* Theo looks at his suddenly appearing clone.
* Aishen if you don't stop that right now..."
* Lauren turns around. "Oh, i just-" *blink blink*
	Lauren: 	"...Uhm."
	Theo: 	"Hmm... nice to know the years have been kind to me."
* Aishen cracks his knuckles.
* Aishen cracks his knuckles.
	Aishen: 	"I'd like to see you try."
	Lauren: 	"Well now I'm just confused..."
	Theo: 	"Aishen, don't start a fight. Ditto has copied everything you can do."
	Aishen: 	"It's mocking me. I'm not scared."
	Theo: 	"It's not about being scared."
	Theo: 	"I'd simply not like to fight myself."
	Theo: 	"On the other hand, this gives us a unique opportunity to learn about this place."
* Aishen attempts a maneuver.
	Lauren: 	"It's th' kinda fight you win *an'* lose..."
	Theo: 	"So, other me, what can you tell me about this place?"
Aishen whispers: double kick, low sweep, rock smash, focus energy.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Aishen, roll a Combat check.
	Aishen: 	17
	Aishen: 	14
* Lauren turns back to the other-her. "Hey, uhm... Me? I guess? I dunno if this is as weird t'you as it is t'me, but we're still nice folks. C'mon out! I'd like ta hear what you can tell me 'bout this place too."
* Aishen attempts to disarm Aishen of his empty Pokéballs, but was too sluggish.
* Aishen wrestles Aishen to the floor.
	Aishen: 	22
	Lauren: 	(and somewhere, a slash fic is born.)
	Lauren 1: 	"Yea. And y'know, this ain't exactly the safest place to be."
	Aishen: 	24
* Aishen resists the wrestle attempt!
* Lime listens, and then nods appreciateively. "...Free-ee."
* Aishen attempts to trip Aishen! (Acrobatics or Combat) 13
	Aishen: 	24
* Aishen avoids the trip and tries to slam Aishen.
	Aishen: 	20
	Lauren: 	"Okay, it's a really good impression. I'll give 'er that."
	Aishen: 	13
* Aishen is slammed to the ground.
* Aishen growls in frustration.
	Aishen: 	"Ha! I win!"
	Theo: 	(I'm so lost. 0_0
* Ditto 2 changes back to its neutral form.
	Aishen: 	"Good try though."
* Aishen sits down.
	Aishen: 	"what are you doing here?"
	Lauren: 	(Hehe. If you're lost, that means they win.)
* Ditto 2 pauses before changing forms again.
	Lauren: 	"...All right. Well, if y'don't wanna come up here," *taking her eyes off the Theoseses for a moment* "I'll just ask from up here. What's in this place? Where'd you come from?"
	Screen: 	"....This is our home."
* Aishen looks at the tech on the wall.
	Theo: 	"Have been. For quite a while."
	Aishen: 	"How long have you lived here?"
	Screen: 	"...That answer is...difficult."
	Aishen: 	"Have you seen anyone like me before?"
	Lauren 1: 	"Earliest thing I 'member is more folks like you runnin' 'bout."
	Theo: 	"Interestin'..." Theo continues to scribble notes down before asking "Does th' name 'Amber' ring any bells?"
* Lauren 1 thinks for a moment.
	Theo: 	"That was the....little girl, I think?"
* Lauren watches herself think. Weird. Does she really scrunch up her face like that?
	Lauren 1: 	"Oh, that fiesty one. Yeah. I vaguely remember her."
	Screen: 	"She vanished one day."
	Lauren: 	"Okay! Uh... do y'know how long ago that was?"
	Lauren 1: 	"I may be a bit smarter 'bout now but that don't mean I suddenly 'member the passage of time."
	Aishen: 	"She? My mom..."
* Aishen looks at the floor and sighs.
	Theo: 	"We can put together things better at this very moment but things since past? Not something a simple boost in intelligence could provide."
	Lauren: 	"Okay, fair 'nough. I guess that makes sense."
	Theo: 	"Fascinatin'... though I'd like ta see what you can remember. A tape we found earlier had a man's voice referring to Amber. Did she have a father who worked here?"
* Aishen shakeshis head, not knowing what to say
* Aishen kicks the box.
	Lauren: 	"I..." *hears the box kick, looks away* "Hey, Aishen! You doin' okay over there?"
	Aishen: 	"So we are the only humans left here?"
Aishen is disconnected.
Aishen is disconnected.
* Ditto 1 transforms back to normal.
* Ditto 1 points to the shelf before moving away.
	Theo: 	"So it seems."
Aishen has connected.
	Screen: 	"Currently? I believe so."
	Theo: 	"Thank you, Dittos. You've been most helpful".
	Screen: 	"Some of the things the Humans left here are still functional. Best be careful."
* Lauren sees the pointing out of the corner of her eye, and- oh, Theo's got it.
Aishen: 	"I really am the last one."
* Theo searches the shelves for information. Anything he might use. Perception 12
	Lauren: 	"Anything back there?"
* Aishen sniffles.
	Screen: 	"Anything about whatever you are Forest-Hair is somewhere here."
Theo finds another Cassette Tape.
Aishen: 	"I don't care what I am. I was hoping to find, to meet..."
Aishen: 	"Nevermind."
	Theo: 	"Lauren, we're going to need that radio again."
	Lauren: 	"Gotcha."
* Lauren nods genteely to the Dittos as she passes them by - for now.
	Lauren: 	*takes the tape, pops it in, and hits 'play'.
* Aishen sits in the corner.
* Radio (Old) starts up, giving some sort of odd feedback.
	Radio (Old): 	"....t .at. .ul. 4.h ..99."
	Radio (Old): 	"T.. .os. .iu. .sl.n."
	Lauren: 	"Sounds like science t'me... Badly garbled science."
	Radio (Old): 	".z.z.zzz...zz.z.z....zzz...Subject 421. Amber."
	Theo: 	0_0 (!)
	Radio (Old): 	~How .i. . .et here?~
	Radio (Old): 	Male voice: "S421 has the heritage of the two most infamous females on the planet."
* Theo is scribbling notes like a madman.
	Radio (Old): 	Male voice: "Any encountered Joy and any encountered Jenny."
	Lauren: 	"..Wha...?"
	Radio (Old): 	~.he.e .ust b. s..e.a. to .sc.p."
	Radio (Old): 	~*
	Radio (Old): 	Male Voice: "Studying of either female is declined but S421 was born and raised within the facility. We can begin study on her."
* Lauren listens intently, but she isn't enjoying what she's hearing...
	Radio (Old): 	Female Voice: "Mistah G would like a word with yah Mistah B."
	Radio (Old): 	Male Voice: "N-Now? Right now? I'll be right there."
* Radio (Old) gives a static sound and a thud as the tape stops playing.
	Radio (Old): 	~.he.e'. .o.t. .e .o.ew.y .f. t.e .s.a..~
	Lauren: 	"Mister 'G' and Mister 'B', hunh..." Does she recognize any of those voices? If it's Perception, 14
You whisper to Mike: Mistah B sounds vaguely familiar...you recognize it from somewhere on Cinnabar.
Lauren whispers: hm.
	Theo: 	Theo bets he recognizes one of those voices. Does he recognize the voice of "Mister B"? (Perception 15 or Intuition 16)
	Lauren: 	"Dunno 'bout you, but none'a that sounded pleasant..."
You whisper to TBG: Mistah B sounds vaguely familiar...you recognize it from somewhere on Cinnabar.
	Theo: 	"...I'm gonna have a long chat with someone when we get back ta Cinnabar."
	Lauren: 	*nod, a little slack-jawed*
	Theo: 	Ditto's Testimony and Cassette Tape 2 added to the Court Record.
	Lauren: 	*pockets the radio again, and starts walking back around the boxes*
	Lauren: 	"...Hey. Thanks, y'all."
	Lauren: 	*to the Dittos, presumably still in their untransformed state*
* Theo pockets the Cassette Tape.
Kaorin Sakura: 	* The Dittos wobbly nod to you.
	Lauren: 	"...Uh. So, one of you was me for a bit... I imagine y'know what I'm gonna say t'you, but: Are you guys happy here? It seems depressin' to me, but..."
You whisper to TBG: Added stuff to notes and added the icon to your pokehome.
	Lauren: 	"...What I'm tryin' ta say is, if you wanna come with us, we'd welcome ya. My family's got a farm, and, well... you were me for a bit. You tell me if that's someone you wanna be trained by."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Gimme a charm.
	Lauren: 	7 Charm!
	Lauren: 	(gwuh~)
Aishen: 	(Lauren uses intution not charm>_>)
Aishen: 	(mystic senses?)
	Theo: 	(Actually, can I help influence them with friendly feelings?)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, when I say Charm I do mean improving the disposition sorta thing. If you have Mystic Senses, Intuition would apply instead of the Charm skill.
	Lauren: 	(I presume it's up to the GM when Mystic Senses is allowed or not. But if it is allowed, Intuition, 25)
	Lauren: 	(whoa much better. And okay. Sorry, when you say 'Charm' I just don't think to say 'what about Intuition!'. I... prolly should, hunh?)
Aishen: 	"Hey.. Uhh. T.V. Can you show me where the one like me disappeared?"
Aishen: 	(just always remember your charm is intution when it comes to swaying the feelings of people or pokemon.)
	Screen: 	"She was held in a cell way up north of here."
* Theo catches this and adds it to his notes
Aishen: 	"Show me?"
* Ditto seems disinterested.
* Ditto 1 however...
	Theo: 	Ditto's Testimony updated in the court record.
* Ditto 1 nods to Lauren and gives a wobbly smile.
	Lauren: 	(Was Ditto 1 the one who was me? Or was it someone else? Or... would I even know?)
* Aishen growls at the Television.
	Screen: 	* Shows a metal door beside a very large generator.
	Lauren: 	(because I the player have no clue, heh.)
	Theo: 	(Yeah. The one who was me was just Ditto.)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Theo's got it.
* Lauren kneels down, and holds out a Pokeball. "All right then. And... thanks for bein' a good me while you were."
Aishen: 	"Thanks."
	Lauren: 	"Y'even got my accent down nice."
* Ditto 1 taps the ball and becomes captured.
	Lime: 	"...Free?"
Ditto 1: 	Ditto 1 Is: Calm. Neuter. LV13. With the ability Sturdy.
	Lauren: 	"Yeah. And thank YOU, Lime - for not gettin' confused."
* Lauren gives her Butterfree a big ol' hug, and then rushes after Theo.
	Theo: 	"Let's move. I want to uncover as much information as we can."
	Lauren: 	"Yep!"
* Timburr grips the lumber in its grip and growls at all of you.
	Theo: 	"Oh dear."
	Lauren: 	"Whoa, okay. Uh, Aishen - friends of yours?"
Aishen: 	"MOVE!!" 12 intimidate
	Timburr: 	"Feh..."
* Timburr throws a fist at Aishen! 14
	Timburr: 	19 Normal Physical Damage!
Aishen: 	Aishen loses 4 hit points.
	Lauren: 	"Okay, simmer down y'all. We ain't here to take yer t- aww nuts."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Pokemon?
	Theo: 	"Crap. Looks like a fight is unavoidable now... prepare yourselves!"
	Lauren: 	"Lime, here we go!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Please input speeds.

	Lauren: 	(Peeko~ been a while since we've seen him. ^_^)

Kaorin Sakura: 	Lemme try it out.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yup!

Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, that hits.
	Lauren: 	18 False Swipe Normal Defense damage!
Kaorin Sakura: 	Also, your AC for Capture is now 4. (v1.02 increased AC of Capture to 6 default. As well as changed up capture rates a bit)
Aishen: 	(wow. Becoming quiet the capture specialist)
	Lauren: 	(Ahhh. Okay, fair enough.)
	Theo: 	(Beautiful)
	Lauren: 	(^_^ Wait 'till I get a moment with my Minccino...)
Aishen whispers: need my new capture rate, just give me the formula so I can put it on my sheet
	Lauren: 	(as for the d100, you can roll it. No changes to it right now.)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Also! Let me find that text that allows you to roll but only show the result to the GM. So you guys can roll and I just see the results.
	Lauren: 	(I think it's gm
	Theo: 	Cool.
	Lauren: 	15
	Lauren: 	(like un so)
* Lauren has used 1 AP! She's down to 3/4 now, FYI.
Aishen: 	10
Kaorin Sakura: 	( I'll make a macro for AP. )
Aishen: 	(is confused)
	Lauren: 	(naw, it's square bracket, then gm:, then the dice rolls as normal)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Don't forget to subtract your level next time.
	Lauren: 	(I didn't know that was a thing.)
Aishen: 	2D6+2
	Lauren: 	(forgot the colon after "gm", Aishen.)

	Theo: 	"I wonder... if I were to collect enough of that aura I use for healing... then maybe..."
You whisper to Aishen: Legendary technically. You're not shiny colouration.
* Theo concentrates. As he does, a spiraling green ball of energy appears!

* Iele points west.
	Lauren: 	(Comin' Theo?)
	Lauren: 	"Hunh. Some kinda big ol'... device thingy."
	Theo: 	"I don' suppose ya know what it is?
	Lauren: 	(Do I? Edu: Tech, 12
You recognize a fair bit of it. One second.
	Lauren: 	(okay, though if Aishen's running ahead Lauren's likely going to want to try and keep up... unless it's really crazy or important tech.)
	Aishen: 	(its the thing Aishen popped out of.)
You whisper to Mike: While you can't discern its exact function, you can tell that it was built sort of like a trojan horse! It's designed to look like some sort of generator but it in fact doesn't provide power to anything.
	Lauren: 	"...Wait a sec. This thing's a fake!"
	Theo: 	"A false machine?"
	Lauren: 	"Like stuff y'see on TV, yeah. It's got wires and knobs an' junk, but it ain't hooked up to anything."
	Lauren: 	"...Got no clue WHY though."
	Theo: 	"Strange..." Fake Machine added to the court record.
Lauren whispers: Does that mean it has an interior, hidden function?
You whisper to Mike: Yes.
	Lauren: 	"...Wait." Can she crack it open? 14 if you need another roll for Edu Tech.
Kaorin Sakura: 	You'd need the proper tools or power to open it.
Kaorin Sakura: 	I know you don't have the power so what tools do you have?
	Lauren: 	"...Okay, somethin' IS in this, but I ain't gettin' into it right this second. Gimme a power saw and I'll do it, but for now.. it ain't goin' anywhere."
	Theo: 	(How about an electrical ghost? Can it be possessed?)
	Aishen: 	(Aishen has claws, a tail, and a sword.)
	Lauren: 	"...Or a half-Pokemon guy with sharp pointy bits. Hey, Aishen!" *calls down hallway*
Kaorin Sakura: 	If I'm not mistaken, Rotom requires it to run on electricity to possess it so, that's a no. However, Aishen could crack it open, yes.
	Theo: 	(Darn. Pix is the answer to my Edu: Tech problems)
	Aishen: 	"Huh?"
	Aishen: 	"What you guys stop for, lets go."
	Theo: 	Meanwhile, Theo ties the Black Belt around his waist.
	Lauren: 	"Found a big ol' box that's a big ol' liar. You wanna crack it open and see what's inside? Or not interested?"
* Aishen stares at the box for a moment.
* Aishen climbs to the top of the box.
* Aishen climbs down.
* Lauren leans back while she watches Aishen do his thing. "Whatever this is, it ain't a generator. Somethin's inside it though that IS an actual machine... dunno what though."
	Aishen: 	"Suuuuuuure."
* Aishen pulls out the sword and swings it at the box. (Combat check 22
Aishen sinks the finely crafted blade deep into the mettalic carapace of the Machine.
	Aishen: 	(power 6)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me an Athletics check to pull it open, adding your POWER to it.
	Aishen: 	19
	Theo: 	"I thought you would find good use for that sword. Not what I expected, but not bad at all."
	Lauren: 	(Hm. Not broken?)
	Aishen: 	(think that's what broken looks like)
Aishen pulls open the side of the metal casing revealing a hollow interior.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me a perception to peer into the darkness.
	Aishen: 	4
Kaorin Sakura: 	Aishen is blind.
* Aishen blinks. "Nothing here."
	Lauren: 	"What? Lemme take a look." 15
	Theo: 	"I have a hard time believin' they'd just build a fake machine."
	Theo: 	Perception 6
	Lauren: 	(Lauren: Apparently 15/20 vision or something.)
	Theo: 	(Theo: Wears spectacles for a reason)
	Lauren: 	(Anything in there? 'cause otherwise, yeah, up for movin' on... >.>)
You whisper to Mike: You can see the skeletal remains of a small sized Pok�mon that seems to be strapped down to the center of some contraption. There's wires and tubes all around and various broken eggs carefully lined up around it. There's, however, one egg still intact.

Give me an Education Medicine or Education Pok�mon to identify the remains. Egg Index (or your own personal knowledge) is the only way to identify the egg.
Lauren whispers: 7 Pokemon Edu. And Lauren will take that egg - no sense leaving it all alone here.
* Lauren reaches inside!
Lauren pulls out a strange, pink egg.
You whisper to Mike: You can't identify the remains. However, you can pull them out.
	Theo: 	Fake Machine updated in the court record.
* Lauren does so, if possible - even if they can't get a real burial, this is better than in there.
	Theo: 	(Wait, what?)
	Lauren: 	(you'll see)
	Theo: 	*gasp!*
* Lauren pulls 'em out, panting a bit from the effort.
	Lauren: 	"...Dunno who or what it is..."
	Lauren: 	"But it ain't pretty in there. At all."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Education Medicine or Pokémon can identify it.
	Theo: 	Was this a human, or a Pokemon? What can we identify from these bones? Edu Medicine 9
	Theo: 	Or Edu Pokemon at 10
You whisper to TBG: While you're not sure exactly what kind of species this is you're certain it's a Pok�mon. You c----and with that education Pok�mon you can tell it used to be a Mew.
* Lauren is feeling a bit freaked out, and starts wiping her hands on her pants - softly, at first, and then more harshly.
* Theo 's eyes go wide at the bones, but says nothing.
	Mint: 	"M-min?" *starts dusting off Lauren's hands with her tail
	Lauren: 	"...Thanks. C'mon, we should... we should catch up with Aishen." *picks up the Egg and starts moving*
	Theo: 	Bones added to the court record.
	Theo: 	"...Rest in peace, little guy."
	Aishen: 	"Which way now Lele?"
* Lauren starts moving up the corridor, away from the bones.
	Iele: 	16
* Iele points east.
	Lauren: 	"Ah! There y'are."
	Lauren: 	"Sorry we took so long..."
	Aishen: 	"Huh? Weren't you behind me the whole time?"
	Lauren: 	"Uh... Sure."
* Lauren glances nervously over her shoulder, but then keeps up with Aishen and Theo.
	Aishen: 	"That's it. That's the door."
* Aishen tries to open the door.
	Lauren: 	"That's... one heck of a door, yeah."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Everyone entering the door?
	Aishen: 	(me)
	Theo: 	...against my better judgement, yes.
* Lauren will follow too.
Kaorin Sakura says to the GMs: Entry point added.
Kaorin Sakura says to the GMs: Changes saved.
Kaorin Sakura says to the GMs: Changes saved.

As you all enter the room the door slams shut behind you and you can hear a series of locks clicking in place.
	Theo: 	"Everyone on your guard!"
	Lauren: 	o.o
	Aishen: 	"What happened here?"
	Lauren: 	"Mint, keep an eye out. I may have ta switch you out if things get hairy..."
The sound of machines slowly whirring to life fills the room.
	Theo: 	"We may have just woken up the facility."
* Lauren glances at the tools. Just standard wrenches and the like?
	Lauren: 	(Uh-oh. Things lighting up?)
* Theo immediately begins searching the bookshelves for anything he can use.
	Aishen: 	"Looks kinda like Oaks place."
Everything in this room is dry and the air lacks the heavy moisture of the lab just outside of here.
Theo can find a selection of books on the shelf, still intact.
	Lauren: 	"Are these... plans? And a computer..."
	Aishen: 	"HEY!! ANOTHER ONEOFTHOSE BOXES HERE!!"
You whisper to TBG: Theo can find a collection of records of genetic splicing and books about fossil and ancient Pok�mon.
	Lauren: 	(Where is Aishen? Over on the right?)
* Theo grabs a few books on the data he found and puts them in his bag.
* Lauren looks around to try and locate the source of Aishen's voice.
	Theo: 	??? Books added to the court record.
	Aishen: 	"LAuren. Theres another of those boxes over there.
	Aishen: 	(behind you)
	Lauren: 	"Where's it at?"
	Lauren: 	(ah)
The sounds of a mechanical voice echoes into the room.
	CPU: 	"Good Morning."
	CPU: 	"Welcome back."
	Lauren: 	"Gwuh-?"
	CPU: 	"The time of start up is quarter of 6 A.M."
* Theo searches through the former set. Anything mentioning Amber?
	Aishen: 	(believe that's to theo)
	Lauren: 	(oh.)
* Lauren will, in that case, look at this machine too. 11 Edu: Tech.
You whisper to TBG: You can find details of S421.
You whisper to Mike: This one is actually a generater, but the energy provided isn't electricity. And it's running.
	Lauren: 	"Whoa. I don't even... No, this one's real. Mostly..."
	CPU: 	"Warning: Several sectors of the facility are not operational."
	Lauren: 	"I mean, it's not electricity, but it's making *something*, and it's makin' lots of it."
	Theo: 	(...I don't think so...)
	CPU: 	"Sector 0. Sector 1. Sector 3. Sector 4. Sector 5. Sector 7. Sector 8. Are all without power."
* Aishen looks around hearing a voice.
Theo whispers: I read the records of S421.
	Lauren: 	"I dunno what this thing is doin'..."
	Lauren: 	"...or that voice. Or much of anything in here, really... Way beyond a catalytic converter."
	Aishen: 	(I'm so confused on who hears that and who doesn't.)
	CPU: 	"Commencing route test of subject S421 and V015. Start up in 5 minutes."
	Theo: 	(I assume Lauren, since she was looking at that computer)
Kaorin Sakura: 	The CPU is heard throughout the room.
	Aishen: 	"Whats a route test?"
	Lauren: 	"...I think it means 'go somewhere'."
Theo whispers: Hearing that, I also look for data on V015.
You whisper to TBG: V015 is a 'new' specie created through genetic splicing.
	Theo: 	"It could also mean 'routine' test."
	Aishen: 	(everyone apparently)
You whisper to TBG: S421 has the appearance in her much younger years as a very young Jenny with long, long hair.
	Aishen: 	where?
	Theo: 	Theo hastily stuffs some records into his bag and scribbles some notes down in the court record.
You whisper to TBG: She was trained in subterfuge, martial combat and assassination.
You whisper to TBG: She was later the first test subject of genetic splicing.
	Lauren: 	"Shoot... We don't even know where it might be goin'. Might be here."
	Aishen: 	"Theo! Up HERE!"
	Theo: 	"On my way!"
	Lauren: 	"I think there's a platform at th' back end of th' room... might be worth checkin' out."
	CPU: 	"Data collected. Generating replica's."
	Aishen: 	"Lets go."
The most northern platform begins shining brightly.
	Lauren: 	"..." (Any idea what THIS thing is? 18 Edu Tech)
	Theo: 	"Let's be extra careful..."
Kaorin Sakura: 	VERY nice Lauren. ^-^
	Lauren: 	(oh god sparkles)
	Aishen: 	"What is it?"
You whisper to Mike: This device is the central housing this area's capabilities. The 'brain' of all the devices but not the storage of information.
	Theo: 	(That's usually a good sign for us, but...)
You whisper to Mike: housing of this*
	Lauren: 	"...Yeah. Knew there was somethin' big this way. Guys, this thing is... gotta be the heart or th' brain or somethin' of this whole place. But it ain't the memory - not enough storage space. Maybe."
* Lauren starts walking around it, trying to find anything of use - an access port? A keyboard?
	Lauren: 	"Dang. Sealed up tight, looks like - no nice little USB port."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Give me a perception.
	Lauren: 	(What about this big orange thingy? 8)
You whisper to Mike: Looks like another generator or maybe the server.
	Aishen: 	"Theo. Theres some stuff over here!!"
	CPU: 	"Operation complete. Commencing route test."
	Theo: 	So... there are some sparkles. Can I figure out what they are? Inuition 21
	Lauren: 	13
Two Pokémon or Pokémon-ish appear before Theo.
	Lauren: 	"Well, it's definitely part'a this thing..."
Kaorin Sakura: 	And halt. Initiative.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Erm, yah. Stop moving around please.
	Aishen: 	"This way"
	Aishen: 	"WHOA!"
	Lauren: 	(they sre vampires.)
Kaorin Sakura: 	>. Theo!
	Theo: 	"What did you find?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Might just be lag.
	Lauren: 	(*stops moving*)
	Lauren: 	*gasp!*
	Theo: 	(Holy crap. I saw this coming.)
	Aishen: 	(thinking major lag)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Initiative has become active.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Yeah, seems like major lag.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Feel free to swap out Pokémon if you want.
	Lauren: 	(I don't see any init.)
	Aishen: 	(I don't see ini bar
	Lauren: 	"Shoot. Sorry, Mint - but this calls for big guns. Kerria!"
	Theo: 	"So this is what those records were talking about."
Kaorin Sakura: 	And we'll pause it here.
Kaorin Sakura: 	But, you guys did great today.
Kaorin Sakura: 	Trainer XP 3.
	Lauren: 	(Phew. Progress!)
Kaorin Sakura: 	Saving log!
Aishen is disconnected.
