"If you care for a demonstration, it can be arranged." Seth replied, still watching the woman.
Seeing that Nadja was ready to move on, Seth shut the door and made his way back to the elevator. Again they proceeded to the next floor down.

Nadja considered Seth for a long moment as she stood beside him in the elevator, head canted to observe the tall elite from the corner of her eye. "I might take you up on that one day. But I'd prefer to actively participate."
She cut eye contact when the doors slid open, moving out to the new level.

Seth side glanced back down at the red head. That smirk still playing on his lips.
"I look forward to it."
As they reached the next level, Seth stepped out again. "This level contains our recreational and exercise facilities."
He moved ahead to the exercise rooms where some grunts were seen running on treadmills. "We have every kind of fitness equipment you could need here."

"Good." Nadja's concise reply was attended by a flash of a smile. "It's been a while since a partner's matched my pace."
The elite's grey gaze traveled over the Rockets and exercise machines, taking stock of what she saw, before it returned to the tall brunette and she voiced a question of interest.
"And the pool?"

"Is that so. I'm certain that I could meet your expectations, and then some. You would not be disappointed." Seth's smirk looking a bit more smug at that.
At the inquiry of a pool though, the elite nodded. "Yes, for humans and Pokemon alike."
Seth led her onward and till they arrived at an Olympic sized indoor pool.
"There are pools in some of the training gyms as well, to accommodate water type Pokemon."

Confident. Nadja gave Seth another of those evaluative looks coupled with an upward quirk of her mouth. "We'll see," she assured him before they continued down the hall.
The redhead's boots echoed as they entered the tiled pool chamber. She swept a stray lock of hair away from her eyes and scanned this room for longer than she had the others. Judging by her expression, she liked what she saw.
"Very nice," the woman decided. She turned to go. "Does it see much use?"

Confidence was something that Seth was certainly not lacking in. He had it in pretty much everything he did, and if he didn't, he at least acted so.
Seth stood there in silence as she surveyed the pool.
"Moderately. Some days are busier than others."
With that, he moved to continue onward.

"Hm." A more neutral noise, half-heard over the click-click of boot heels.
The elevator closed its doors and moved downward.
"And this is your floor," she supplied lightly when they came to it.

And this is where Seth became all business.
"Yeah. This is the technology floor."
Leading Nadja down the hallways, he pointed out the various sections as they went. Pausing to stop and look if necessary.
"There are several computer labs, mostly for the use of the technology department. Most of the public labs are located in the recreational areas."
There wasn't much to see there as they were mostly just computer stations, some occupied and some not.
"Through that door is the central mainframe for the entire HQ with backup machines as well."

"Mm." The departments of this floor were not Nadja's specialty; she had fewer questions to ask here. While she took on the role of a reserved observer, her gaze didn't lose its shrewd edge. It flickered between points of interest Seth indicated, as well as some he did not, taking notes, sometimes accompanied by a slight quirk of her lips.
A few of the techs on duty, sensing their supervisor's presence, turned in their swivel chairs. Nadja smiled cordially at them from the doorway and tilted her head to look at Seth. "Do you handle personal systems as well?"

He could sense her disinterest, but it didn't matter. She had asked for the tour and he was giving it. Besides, her floor was the next one down.
Her next question drew a raised brow and then a slight smirk. "Naturally. The department is responsible for the maintenance and up keep up all such systems. However, I only do if its worth my time."
The attention of his underlings was ignored as Seth led Nadja on down a corridor and through a large set of doors. The room beyond was huge and various mechas and other vehicles were present. Loud noises could be heard as mechanics set about their work. "This is the robotics department where technology is developed for mostly large scale machinery."

This only fetched a privately amused smile in response.
The click of Nadja's heels was lost to the hum of motors and flywheels, but she gave her voice a pitch and clarity that carried it through the droning of the mechanics.
"You're collaborating closely right now. What's the status of the new security system?"

Nadja's comment was met with a nod as he turned and made to exit the robotics facility.
"I'm still waiting on a proposal from the design team. Their deadline is coming up soon." There was a trace of annoyance in his voice at the mention of the new security system. The incident with the Galactic agent was still fresh on everyone's minds.
As they headed back towards the elevator, the entire floor was suddenly rocked by a muted explosion. Seth suddenly stopped and turned his gaze to a door as it suddenly opened. Smoke poured out with alarms going off, and a grunt covered in soot stumbled out, coughing. He caught sight of the elites and waved an arm, "We're... good! Everything's... under control. Nothing to see here."
"That's the demolitions department," he informed Nadja.

Nadja was slightly behind Seth when the blast came; she stopped abruptly, planting her feet as the explosion rocked the hallway. One hand casually dropped to the Pokeballs at her hip. As the tremors faded, she fanned smoke away from her face with a gloved hand.
"Apparently."
There was a shout of "Quick, get his clothes off!" and "Don't struggle!" From within the lab came the sound of a safety shower turning on.
The elite raised a skeptical brow at the blackened underling.

The grunt, hearing all of this, grinned sheepishly at the elites. "Ahem. Yes... you'll get a... full report on this later, sir. Excuse me." With a quick salute, he quickly ran back inside to assist, the door closing after him.
Seth just grunted, a deadpan expression on his face as he watched the underling skitter away. A glance at Nadja was given before he continued to the elevator and stepped inside. "We don't talk about them."
