What Lies Beyond

[bravenewmods]

After weeks of repairs, tightened sanctions on incoming immigrants and the general feeling of unease that hangs heavy around the city of Union, the Council finally comes to a decision. It is not unanimous by any accounts, and there are many that wonder if this is the right approach. Union has existed for generations behind its great walls, and there were those who felt that it was that way of life that they should return to—one of solitude and skepticism. However, in light of recent events, the desire for security has own over the need for seclusion.

An announcement comes over the Warp Band, still hazy from the attacks on the Signal Tower. But it is not the face of a Councilmen that the citizens and visitors of Union are met with, but, rather, the youthful face of one of the leaders of the Seekers.

“Citizens and friends of Union—is that seriously what they wrote? Man, it feels weird talking like that, can I just say ‘hey you guys?’ Whatever. Everyone. We’ve got some big news, so listen up.” Maeve groans at the feed, tossing aside some paper, likely an official statement penned by some Council member. “So, the Council has decided that they want to take a more proactive approach after the attack by Sveta, Alina and their friends, and it comes to me to give you the juicy details.”

Okay, actually maybe she did need that paper. Leaning over in her chair, she ducks off the stream to reclaim the statement. “The Council has asked for volunteers to come together and investigate three possible leads for both our ‘friends’ with the Elite Four, Gigas, as well as some interesting goings-on in and around Refuge: a settlement to the west with supposed ties to Gigas; the inner caves of Refuge; and to the east of Glacier, in the direction which the great dragon fled.

“Now don’t all come flooding in all at once, I know how you Unionites get excited about stuff like this. Groups will disembark immediately, so get any supplies you can and meet up at the Seeker’s HQ before heading out. You’ll be given briefs upon your assignment into a group. If you have any questions, you can ask me or Captain Pirate Krabbypants, Ceilto. Maeve, out.”

Once they arrive, each person will be assigned a group, and after a quick briefing, begin moving to their destination within the day. Most take no more than a few days to arrive at their destination, and will immediately be put to work.

[ The Sweet Scent works. There's no time for relief just yet, but at least this plan is getting somewhere. ]

Nika, lead the Pokemon as far away from this place as possible.

[ He slaps the Venusaur's flank lightly, and it heads off, with all the grace of a big dinosaur-toad-flower-thing, a trail of scented pollen floating behind it, a welcome respite from the smell of death and sickness.

It's the Pied Perfumer of Glacier. ]

And Ingrid, there's a chance this thing might survive survive whatever we throw at it, so you might want to consider a trench or wall too.

[not too shabby]

Lulu, go with Nika, please. [the Roserade nods bravely] Once you're far enough away, keep them together.

[setting them loose without having at least a medic look at them seems cruel. The word 'quarantine' comes to mind, too.]

[ Haruka continues making a circle around the egg, scrutinizing it. When she finishes her loop, she rejoins the party. She doesn't have a Fire-type with her, so: ] Not much else we can do here.

[ So she....keeps walking. World Shaking follows her, as does Sky (after a moment) and Rushing Wind. Who does not even appear to have noticed how Very Brave Rico is being.

Life is cruel. ]

[It looks like the plan to get the Pokemon to get away from that egg is working out. Healing doesn't seem to be doing the trick but at least they're getting away from it.

Ryuko takes it slower on her trip around the area, dodging any puddles or flows of that sludge on her way. She doesn't come back around to the group either, instead stopping partway across to watch the retreating Pokemon. Keeping an eye out for any stragglers or ones that look like they won't make it on their own.]

Of course, Southlander.

[Ingrid gives Garen a very grave look. Very grave indeed.]

If the burning fails, then we'll isolate this place as best we can. Have no fear.

[She turns to watch the procession of Pokemon leaving the area, waiting for her fire support.]

((ooc: This concludes the log! Thanks for threading! Feel free to continue threading as you like, however the mod involvement is done! If there are direct questions for Ingrid feel free to ask them, though. Results will go up with the Event End announcement!))
