Welcome to Gaia! ::

Her eyebrows arched up, looking a little surprised herself. "My apologies Sir, with the rumors and gossip going around I assumed he had heard." Probably wasn't the best idea.
She didn't see Lucas at all other then a few moments this morning before going in. Still, Seth was correct, she should have at least made sure he knew.

Seth spoke to Lucas again, and Faleen once again fell silent, looking over at Lucas again.

Leaning back in his chair, Seth narrowed his eyes slightly in thought as he listened wordlessly. "That's right, he appeared in the last raid, along with what looked to be two executives or elites of his. What can you tell me about them, especially Deimos?"

Now this seemed to be worth his time after all. If he could glean a good bit of information from Lucas, it would make for a much more impressive report to Lucere.

"Deimos is a noisy, pretentious man who would brag about successfully preparing a sandwich if he happened to do so in your company," Luke replied with mild disdain. "However, there is no arguing that he is a genius. Mechanics and electronics alike, once he's through with it, it's flawlessly lethal, if not rather... eccentric in design. There is no question that he has a terrifying talent for the art." Had he been a proper member of the tech department, he might have had the opportunity to help assemble one of Deimos's creations, but his affiliation with the surveillance department had excluded him from the opportunity to do so.

"Of the two that were with him, one was without a doubt Commander Tethys. She is a constant companion to Deimos, but I don't know much of her beyond that. She is cold, remorseless, and quite possibly more loyal than anyone to Deimos's cause. As for the other..." he paused in consideration, "I would imagine it was likely Commander Orion. Compared against Tethys, he may as well be a complete opposite. He's a boisterous troublemaker, but there's no denying that he is skilled. Unfortunately I rarely had the opportunity to interact directly with the commanders, so much of what I know is hearsay." It had always bothered him how much the commanders kept to themselves, probably because being unaware of their activities meant the possibility for being unprepared for any surprises they may have felt inclined to drop. Luke hated surprises.

Faleen kept her expressions carefully controlled, but the part she was rarely ever able to stop was the pink flush of her face, indicating that she was feeling a strong emotion about something.
In this case, it was frustration.

It was clear that the Galactic team had a serious turn out of very elaborate machines and ships.
But to hear that the leader of Team Galactic was a mechanic like her... made her feel filthy.
It didn't help that Lucas put a lot of emphasis on how talented... genius at it he was, better then her... this bothered her, greatly.
she had to convince herself that all he had on her was age and funding... that was IT!

Seth had similar thoughts to Faleen's. This whole affair and the fact that an idiot like Deimos was such a technical genius, was a slap in the face. It too bothered him and he had every intent to continue in improving his own skills and especially his security system. He would not allow Deimos to beat him, and refused to believe that the fool could be better than him.

It figured that Deimos' plans were well guarded, although Seth was perplexed on why Deimos' ultimate goal was so closely guarded. Aside from the fact that he wanted to create a perfect world... which was just sheer madness in itself.

What was interesting though, was this device that Lucas mentioned. Seth's brows raised in skeptical interest. "A machine that uses legendary Pokemon as a power source?" That was odd and simply unheard of. But it explained why they had crossed paths at the volcano. "He's tracking us somehow, letting us lead him to the legendaries. He's using us." His voice hinting at a deep seething rage. This was infuriating.

"Where is their base located?"

He nodded at Seth's words, though the next question brought a more dubious reply, "I cannot answer that in certainty. The Galactic base relocates on a fairly frequent basis. The longest time it ever stayed in one place was under Cyrus's hand, when it was stationed in Sinnoh's Veilstone City. They were in Almia when I parted from them, but that was months ago. They've surely relocated since then." Half of his response was introspective as he tried to pin down some idea of where Galactic might have settled. It was worrying to be so completely unaware of the enemy's movements, especially when they seemed to be targeting the Rockets.

That was unfortunate news, Seth's frustration to it seemed appropriate.
Faleen had to wonder why they moved so much... it seemed like such a huge hassle, considering what all they would need to move! and inconspicuously?

"Sir?" she started, glancing up at Elite Seth, "Permission to state an inquiry?" she had a couple of questions that popped into her head, not sure how useful they would be, but she was curious enough about them.

Seth turned his gaze to Faleen as she voiced her question. "Fine," he told her motioning for her to go ahead with whatever question she had. This situation was indeed frustrating, but he couldn't complain too much considering the information Lucas had provided.
