Nyx looked over at Sierra and smiled, intending to walk over and grab her team, but Mau beat her to it. She held out her hands to accept her pokeballs, but instead he pressed his lips to her's. That was unexpected. And a first. The elite's cheeks turned red and she purposefully looked away from Mau, though there was a tiny smile on her face. "T-thanks."
That felt much better, Nyx thought as she clipped her six pokeballs to her belt. She returned Newton to his pokeball, since he wasn't really a fighter. It was comforting to have the familiar weight at her waist again.

Once the two teams merged back into one and the remaining Galactics had been dealt with, Kunai wasted no time in getting to business and addressed the group, "Aulus' explanation of what we found is, unfortunately, no exaggeration. We can't know how stable the device is, but Deimos has built a machine with the intended purpose of deconstructing and reconstructing the world as he wants it. This cannot be allowed. The parameters of our mission were to retrieve Nyx, learn Team Galactic's plans and, if possible, stop them." Her eyes narrowed, "We've completed the first two objectives. We will complete the third. We're going directly to this installation in Johto and we're going to destroy it. Immediately." Her eyes scanned the group as she considered this plan, "Johto's a long distance from here. The helicopter we came in may not make it that far without refueling and it certainly won't get us there fast. We'll need alternate transportation."

Aulus gave a cocky laugh and swung his staff over his shoulder again. Did he sound like a git? Probably? Did he give a damn? Hell no! "So what's the problem boss lady?" he purred. "There's a hanger full of options down there ripe for the picking. What say we go decide on one before the real Galactics get wind of us, hu?"

This did raise a problem, though Faleen could think of a few she could throw out. "There is a variety of vehicles in this ship already... It might be a risk taking something here. or even taking the fuel we need. Its just the chances of us pulling it off without it looking to suspicious..." She said, in a tone that offered up any kind of suggestion that came to mind, glancing between Nyx, and Kunai with arched eyebrows, waiting for other suggestions to add to hers. She was an engineer, not an undercover agent, she wouldn't really know how to go about that.
She would really much rather take a vehicle, then a pokemon. Pokemon would take longer... plus she just didn't like the idea as much.

Right, the others were here. Mau looked away from Nyx as she secured her team to her belt. "Wait what?" He looked at Aulus. His mind focused rather quickly on what the man with the staff said. Reconstruct the... Well ******** all.
"Seems a road trip is in order then." They had pokemon they could use to fly, or, return to base and grab some better equipment. But Aulus seemed to have an interesting idea too. It was true that there were vehicles out there just begging to be taken. Team Galactic didn't need such fancy toys. But practical minded sense kept gnawing at Mau. "We may need supplies. Think we can take what we need from here? And hopefully they don't have tracking devices in their vehicles. Wouldn't do us any good to get half way there only to be attacked and stopped short of our goal."

"I think we already look pretty suspicious," Aulus partner spoke up in his mild tenor, running a hand through his hair as he looked at all the unconscious Galatics piled on the floor. "But it's not a bad idea. Some of those mechs looked pretty streamlined; we can find a fast jet and get out of here before someone realizes something's up." They'd made a first offensive move and caused a security breach, and it was uncertain how long either would go without notice.

"That sounds like a good idea..." Nyx almost couldn't believe it. Deimos was planning to remake everything? That was his plan? That was mad, and that was coming from Nyx. "I'm not sure we'll need supplies. We should move fast, before Tethys and Deimos return. If we're lucky they'll have left by the time we get there."

Luxury narrowed her eyes at the oh-so-helpful agent, clearly not amused herself, and accepted the hand reaching for her with a smile. "Thank you," She nodded. "I guess I need to work on my balance!"
She listened intently as the rest of the team was briefed on the findings. This was so not good, not good at all. This was... this was much bigger than Luxury could ever have imagined, and she suddenly felt quite lucky to be on such an important mission.
Besides, she had never been to Johto before.

Faleen glanced over at Mau, when he raised a point that she was a bit more concerned about . "I can tell you, at least on my end that if I built something I would certainly make sure it had some kind of tracking on it... Me or one of our hackers here could try and locate and disable the tracking though, if there is one, I'm sure." She said, gesturing to Hayes and 1337. it just depended on what kind of tracking was installed into it.

"Aulus is right. Taking one of their vehicles is our best option. We'll have to be quick. We'll return to the hangar, enter as a group, select the vehicle best suited for our needs and take it. It's unlikely they'll pay us any attention until it's too late." She would have preferred something more covert but every moment they wasted ran the risk of their handiwork in the field or in the brig being spotted. If the entire ship went into lockdown things would get a lot more complicated. Thus far their uniforms had made them practically invisible. They'd have to count on that to last through one more encounter.
Her eyes shifted to Mau when he spoke, "We don't need to make any unnecessary stops. It's likely that whatever ship we confiscate will have supplies on board. As to any tracking devices, the same scrambler I used on the Dunsparce should work in this scenario."

"So let's go!" Aulus exclaimed with a broad grin. "Time's a-wasting!" So saying he headed over to the door, letting Tortie and Char out of the pokeballs as he went. If all subtlety was to be dropped soon, he wanted this pair ready to fight from the word go while he kept Red in reserve. Johto. To see this machine they'd just heard all about. Daaaaaamn! This was Team Rocket! Yes! Adrenaline. A tinge of fear making him feel alive! "Let's go!" Eyes wide and wild Aulus laughed and spun his staff in a brief complex pattern. "We've got arse to kick and names not to take, let's get to that hanger!"

Considering the situation, Faleen really should not have been as excited as she was.
A solution was given pretty quickly, thanks to the good ideas of the team, and thinking ahead on Kunai's part. indeed the scrambler she brought would do the trick, and they didn't need to communications in it anyway.
With that settled, Faleen had no issues with getting a move on. They had some Galactic vehicle to steal, and a reality altering machine to destroy. She couldn't help but blink at Aulus as he got really enthusiastic himself, but followed after.

Well, this was a right pickle.
Everyone seemed gung-ho to go, but Sierra was still troubled. Yes, she was also concerned about the vehicles having some sort of tracking device, or maybe the Galactics could shut them down remotely. She'd have to trust the techs on the team to be able to handle that possibility.
She could forsee another problem, however.
"Umm...excuse me," she pipped up, trying to make herself heard without looking argumentative. "Before we go strolling through the garage, I think we have something to consider." Her icy blue eyes tracked over to the fluffy haired Agent they'd come to 'rescue'. "I don't think they're going to let us just go strolling through with their 'prisoner' in tow. Agent Nyx at the least is going to draw their attention." They'd have to find a way to disguise her...or hide her completely.

The concept of a machine that could break down and recreate the fabric of the world itself seemed... far-fetched, to put it lightly. But the fact remained that Team Galactic was building some kind of weapon, and even if it couldn't carry out the purpose that was intended for it, it would no doubt cause large-scale devastation. The fact remained also that the machine was a part of Galactic's plans, and they had orders to lay waste to those plans. That much could be pursued without an ounce of incredulity.
Commandeering a vessel certainly seemed the better option compared against escaping via pokemon, which would be slower and more easily detained, disregarding completely the matter of the size of their team. Kunai's words affirmed this, and suddenly they appeared to be set on a new course toward Johto. Aulus's excited call to action drew a somewhat concerned frown, "I don't think it'd hurt to at least pretend to be subtle. We don't need to let the entire building know that we're not allies so long as they believe otherwise..." No need to go galavanting through the halls smacking every odd grunt on the back of the skull completely unwarranted. That was rarely a good idea.
Sierra's comment was a legitimate concern and also raised the question of whether or not a random group of grunts would be allowed to pilot any craft they wanted without clearance. They would need to disable any operatives staffing the hangar, and that would certainly draw even more attention to the Rockets. Unless, "Should we create a distraction? Perhaps send a squad of ghost-types to stir up some chaos and take attention away from the hangar?"

Steal another vehicle? Yes please.
Luxury was all on board and excited as she was scared, until a Rocket she didn't know well spoke up. Nyx. Right. That WAS an issue... Maybe...
Luxury moved next to the Rocket who spoke. "Maybe Nyx could use my wig? None of the Galactic's have seen me before, I could walk around in my natural appearance and never be taken for who I really am." She hoped with all her heart she wouldn't be struck for speaking up.
