Event - Confrontation with the Enhanced

[bravenewmods]

With the revelation of the presence of the Enhanced, Union was able to quickly mobilize. As the strange conditions continued to worsen, the Trainers of Union once again set out to bring order to the chaos.

This time however, they do not walk entirely alone. A small, dedicated team remains behind in Union, sorting through the dossiers and information that Crystal and Rory have collected. Connected to those in the field via Warp Band network, hopefully they can identify the Enhanced and find a way to calm them before a tragedy occurs.

[OOC: There will be a thread for each active team based on the sign-ups. Any areas that did not have any sign-ups will not be present and will be addressed later. As per our usual standards, moderators and NPC helpers will progress the log at least once every 24 hours. The Union log will work somewhat differently from the battle logs in that the participants will be collecting information concerning the Enhanced; when enough information has been accumulated, they will be asked to tag into the battle threads to provide guidance and support to those out in the field.

Characters participating in the Union log will function as support staff for this event. They will have their own log interacting with Rory and Crystal and as characters in other logs encounter the Enhanced, they can use the observations made to try to find out more about the Enhanced in the field and help the people in the field determine an appropriate situation. Because of this, players in the Union thread may threadjack any ongoing log to relay information as needed.

The outcome of this event will depend very much on player decisions and the ability of the characters to respond to the threats at hand, so we would highly encourage you all to tag as regularly as possible. Thanks!]

[Matthias only barely had time to roll cleanly out of the way of the Lucario's assault, though a solid kick did find his ribs, turning his roll into a tumble as he skidded across the hard ground. He clunched his side, his thermos having rolled off in some unknown direction and his eyes on the body...and specter of Martin who was only a few inches from where he'd been tossed.

He stood up though, holding himself as high as his bruised bones would let him and held his palms out towards the Pokemon. He let his shoulders relax, let the tension in my muscles go, and let his voice carry out softly, yet firmly towards the attacking Pokemon.

"Pokemon are straightforward beings. Let your intentions be known plainly and they will respond in kind. If you are not a threat, they will no more treat you as one than they would a leaf or a rock."

Wise words from old Methuselah. It was time to put them to use.]

I will not raise my weapons against you. I will do you and your friends no more harm and on my word as a defender of Union, I hereby swear that no more ill intent will fall upon you. I care not if you continue to strike me, but leave my friends be. If you wish to carry on, then do to me what you will. I will listen to whatever it is you wish to say and provide you with whatever aid I possibly can.

[After all, it was the duty of the Saviors to provide aid to those who had none. Basil seemed to mirror this sentiment, pushing up against Matthias' back to keep him steady despite his injuries. The most important objective here was to ensure his friends got out safely and that this young lady was given a chance to get away from her life of pain and suffering. This was really all he could do, so far from his weapons and equipment anyways...it was all or nothing it seemed.]
