"Oh... About the same... They're very smart pokemon, but very, how should I put it? Flighty. And there was the incident where Darwin decided he didn't want to do something I told him to and he turned invisible on me. So. New trick I found out he had. Makes it near impossible to return him to his pokeball." Nyx said the last bit in a dry, humorless tone. That damn pokemon was wearing her out; The hard work would be worth it, one day, of course. Oh how she wished for that day.
"Are there any projects you're working on?"

Her brow furrowed when she heard that, its certainly sounded really frustrating,
That's why she liked worked with machines more, so much easier to control.
"That is regretful, Pokemon are so difficult sometimes."
She was having a couple of problems herself, though in her case, they just wanted to eat and kill her, in that order.
"Its a project to better secure the desert around the HQ from intruders, the department I work for help design makes the robots and machines that are used out there"
She explained, tilting her head a little. "It will keep those Galactic from sneaking up on us again. thats for sure."
It wasn't long before she had found the main road, slowing as she pulled up on it, but with the smoother surface, she was able to pick up speed with more safety.
"The roads don't seem Icy, this is a good sign"

Nyx nodded, "That sounds good. I wasn't there, but I heard that was a thing..." It certainly was. It was the first time The Boss showed himself.
"The weather is supposed to be fairly nice this weekend... you know... for winter. All the better for skiing!" Nyx jumped slightly when the GPS suddenly spoke up with an announcement that it was recalculating, and then later some directions for Faleen.
"It'll be nice being away from base for a few days." Nyx sighed and looked out the passenger side window. "I love it there, but I seem to be getting cabin fever about once a month or so."

Faleen chuckled a little at the choice of description Mrs. Nyx has used to describe having Galactic attack the base, a grin spreading over her face.
"It certainly was, he had quite the magnificent machinery with him,"
She added with a fond smile, what she would give to be able to work on something like that.
"I understand the feeling Ma'am, its especially difficult sometimes with the lack of sun light in the labs I'm sure."
She knew it was claustrophobic at times, its a good thing those two seemed to -adore- what they did.
"Have you been up to the Ski resort before Ma'am?"

"Nope! Never. I've never been skiing either, but I came down with a sudden unrelenting urge to ski. So, here we are." Nyx said cheerfully. A creature of habit, Nyx hardly ever did things spur of the moment like this. But, weirdness at the base and Newton's new love of smearing crayon on everyone and every thing seemed to have spurred on this 'new' Nyx.
Hopefully they would get to the resort soon, Nyx was starting to get antsy, shifting uncomfortably every few seconds, fiddling with various things on herself and the car. She could only take so much exposure to a car.

Faleen grinned softly in amusement with how fidgety the Agent was getting, she was able to recognize when someone wasn't really that fond of sitting in a vehicle.
Faleen, now Faleen could do this all day, but, that was for another time, maybe when she was alone.
"We're just up this hill Ma'am" she reassured the agent.
And just as promised, as the snow just got heavier and heavier as they went, Faleen pulled in, and they slowed as they entered a large parking lot that was overlooked by a large beautiful resort, tucked into the mountain and looking very appropriate with its rough woolen framework. snow covered oaks framed it on either side, branching into a much thicker forest that freckled the mountain side.
Faleen took a parking space that was rather a distance from the resort, not wanting to draw to much attention, plus walking never hurt anyone.
"is this okay Ma'am?"

Nyx unbuckled her seatbelt quickly and all but flew out of the car. "Of course!" Everything was okay when you weren't in a metal death trap! Nyx plodded around back to where their bags were and grabbed her rolling luggage. "We've two rooms, I already called ahead. Under the name Nicole Hatchett." Nyx grinned, looking around at all of the snow and trees as they walked. Part of the given name was an alias, of course; Team Rocket was notoriously good at forging fake identities, and one for just renting a hotel was as simple as blinking. "Best to not call me Nyx or Ma'am while we're here."

"Nicole it is then." Faleen said with a smile, watching her hurriedly get her stuff out.
Faleen threw her own bag over her shoulder, slamming the door shut and taking a moment to make sure the jeep was locked before stuffing the keys into her Pocket, shifting to move after Nyx.
"You know,this place has some really nice saunas and spas, in the evening its a nice way to warm up after being in the snow all day" she pointed out, cupping a hand by her mouth and blowing in it to warm it up.

"Oh! Good idea, Faleen.- Oh. Should I call you something different?" Nyx stumbled as she stepped into a patch of snow that was deeper than she anticipated. "I'm never sure who goes by their real names and who goes by a nickname..."

"Faleen is my real name, and it works fine, you can just call me that"
Like everyone called her, so it didn't make much of a difference.
"Is Nicole your real name? or just a cover name?"
She wasn't entirely sure if the name Nyx was just a nickname or not.

"Real. I've become quite accustomed to Nyx, though. Only Miss Nadja calls me Nicole any more. I sometimes think if it weren't for that, I'd have forgotten what my real name was by now." Nyx shrugged and pulled open the doors to the lobby of the resort. It didn't take long to get their rooms, and that was fine with Nyx, since she was eager to get to skiing.
"Have you ever done this?" She pointed out one of the windows, to the tiny colorful figures of people sliding down the hills.

Faleen looked to where she was pointing, tilting her head a little, her only reply though was a nod and "yes", not seeming to be to eager into going into much more detail then that.
"Do you work with Miss Nadja a lot then?" she asked, tilting her head as she looked over at Nyx.
Reaching the resort didn't take to long, the covered salted steps, keeping them free of ice and snow were easy to climb, reaching out to get the door for the agent.

"Yes." Nyx nodded and handed Faleen the key to her room. "She's in charge of the labs, so I see her quite often." Not that Nyx would say she worked with the Elite. Nadja wasn't a scientist, more of an administrator for the department.
"I'm going to change and then we can head up to the slopes." Nyx giggled, "Slopes. Ohh this is so exciting!" She was probably getting ahead of herself, she would only be on bunny hills, seeing as she'd never ever skied in her life.

So the lead of the labs was Elite Nadja, Faleen didn't know that. she was just familiar with Elite Seth who led the technology department.
Faleen couldn't help a small smile when Nyx expressed her excitement for the slopes. Faleen agreed to getting changed herself, it might have been infectious from Nyx, but she was looking forward to the slopes again as well.
Once in her Room, Faleen didn't waist much time in getting a more proper set of clothes on for skiing, and placing her bag onto her bed.
Once she was ready she stepped out of her room, and made her way to the lobby where she would wait for Agent Nyx so they can go rent the gear they need for the slopes.

It didn't take long for Nyx to change into her ski suit, a puffy red jacket with black accents, and black ski pants that were slick enough to look like they were made of poofy pleather. Once she found Faleen in the lobby, they rented their skis and headed for the slopes.
Nyx waddled rather humorously once she strapped the two planks to her feet, finding walking to be fairly awkward. She waved her arms around, trying to steady herself as she misstepped and started to fall. "Wh- okay. This may be rather more difficult than I anticipated." They hadn't even started the actual skiing yet.
