So. I actually managed to get some good information out of Napoleon, with some bribery. Damn stuck-up dinosaur. I told him if he told me everything he knew, I'd let him hang out in the breeding center for a while. He uh... yeah. Do I really need to explain it?

A-anyway.

It seems like some of these other humans from other settlements, whoever they are, installed the machines in the caves not too long ago. They used a "really stinky gross spray" to keep pokémon out of the way while they worked. Some sort of repellant spray, I'm sure. Then he said that horrible noise started and didn't stop until we destroyed the machine.

But here's the craziest part; he said he was a Tyrunt right up until the noise started. He said he wasn't really ready to evolve yet, but he's not complaining. I had to bribe him with a whole fancy tauros carcass to get THAT info. But I think it's worth it. Even if I'm pretty much broke now, ugh. I have half a mind to release his prissy ass back into the wild.

[ACTION; Closed to Jean and Marco]
[Another day, another dollar, as they say. Many of the Guard recruits had been moved from patrol duty to clean up and rebuilding, and Eren, Jean, and Marco are among them. It's tough work, but it certainly feels good to help people.

But Eren has other things on his mind. ]

... I'm going out training in the forest again this afternoon. Either of you wanna come?

I am part of a group of refugees from a village destroyed by humans in the wilderness. We have only just recently been able to make it here in hopes they will shelter us.

[stahlflugel]

You... you lived in a village outside of Union? And it was destroyed... So, what kind of humans were they? Did they have advanced technology like the machines in the caverns? And how do I know you aren't telling a lie?

[faithful_kitsune]

Quick to suspect, aren't you? If you must know, humans were only part of the population. The rest were Shifters... and many of them were taken away when the humans attacked us. Our technology, otherwise, was limited.

[stahlflugel]

... Sorry. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. But it's a little weird that you guys are showing up just now, and I don't really believe in coincidences.

Hm... so, a Shifter village, mostly.

[faithful_kitsune]

Perhaps it is not a coincidence then, but fate. Who can say?

Primarily. Which is perhaps why we were targeted.

[stahlflugel]

... I guess that's just a nicer way of saying it.

Do you know anything about the people who attacked your village?

[faithful_kitsune]

Nothing, I'm afraid. I admit my deficit of knowledge is what made me wary to even approach this city. It does not seem like the people here know anything about it, though.

[stahlflugel]

No... we didn't even know there WERE other humans outside our walls.
