Faleen's face fell when he replied. and she gave another glance around the room, hoping that something there would answer what happened. Half hoping to see Hayes. but she didn't see anyone.
She didn't know what to say to the Jirachi, If Hayes was here, this pokemon would be attached to him, not her.
Frost spoke again, and she looked back over to him, keeping her arms curled up around Alphard as if to support him, even though he really didn't need it.
Her hands needed to hold something right now though.
"Yes, I am, and I do. we work on a lot of projects together."
Her mouth closed tightly, and she started past Frost to find someone who knew details.
Along they way they bumped into another confused Grunt, Faleen glanced over, recognizing him.
"No, they haven't, only three of them did, we're trying to find someone who knows anything." She was looking a little pale,

It was 6 in the morning when an announcement spread over HQ. Every Rocket Dex in the building lit up with the same message. Lucere had called an immediate meeting in response to last night's mission and all available Rockets were asked to attend. Naturally they didn't have any conference rooms large enough for such an event, so it was being held in the lobby area, where a large space had been cleared and a podium had been set up. Rockets of all ranks were gathering, all looking confused. Even the Executives trying to herd people into the room had no idea what was going on.

He felt a peculiar connection to Faleen for just a split second. Each holding a small pokemon belonging to somebody they cared for, and feared for. He didn't know what to do with the feeling though, and was rather glad when his 'dex lit up. "Perhaps we shall get some answers here," he said to Faleen, sliding his 'dex back into his pocket and heading for the lobby with Conrad still held against his chest.
There were already a lot of people there, but as somebody as a personal investment Frost decided he had a right to be at the front and as such started politely engineering a path forward.

After his collapse outside the elevator, Asch had wandered the halls in confusion until someone had come across him and escorted the agent to the infirmary. He was lying in bed when his Rocket Dex on the table next to him had lit up and given the announcement.
He couldn't go anywhere this time. The medics had seen it fit to restrain him. However, he was allowed to listen in on the meeting through the Dex's communication system.

Conrad pressed his self as close to Frost as he possibly could while laying his head on one of the man's shoulders. He probably would not be willing to move away from him for a good long while.

IT had been extremely difficult to find someone who knew what happened. while everyone knew that they had missing Rockets, colleagues that had not returned from the mission, Faleen had no had much luck finding a solid explanation as to why.
She was shocked to find a summon on her Rocket Dex. looking down at it before glancing up and nodding in agreement to Frost.
She was quick to get there, dropping what she was doing and heading to the lobby as were the instructions.
It was shocking how many people were arriving, she noticed that even the Executives were down from the tower... this was serious, and the knot in her stomach only grew heavier.
"The executives even..." she said to frost, eying some of the white uniforms by the far doors after they entered.

It was far to early to be out and about quiet yet, he hadn't even had breakfast. but the sudden message from his rocketdex prompted him to attend the HQ wide meeting. He knew of the mission but it was supposed to be an easy in and out one, so Agent panther had not yet any clue as to why there was a sudden alarm. He sat down in a random spot in the lobby, still foggy with sleep not quiet in unifrom, only having managed the pants and a loose shirt along with the usual sunglasses.

Somewhere out there, even Seth was listening in on his Rocket Dex.

Lilith was awakened rather rudely to the sound of a message coming from her 'Dex. Grumbling, she read the note and unhappily tossed her bed covers aside. If it was a message that forced her to be awake at such an ungodly hour of the day, she hoped it would be important. Sighing and trying to rub the sleep out of her eyes, she dressed in uniform [although it was a little wrinkled] and made her way down to the appointed area. She stood off to the side, attempting to be as awake as possible for the urgent announcement.
- - -
Meanwhile, Isadora was already awake when she heard the summoning call. She had been awake all night trying to beat one of her favorite songs on Guitar Hero on Expert Mode, and it was a long fought battle. She certainly did not mind the break from it, though. She could tell her exhaustion was making her technique sloppy. Still dressed in yesterday's long-skirted, pale-blue dress [although there were signs of bags under her usually bright eyes], Isadora also joined the other called Rockets for the news.

Alba groaned as the dex chimed from the bedside dresser and looked over. He didn't remember falling asleep, but apparently his body hadn't been able to hold out any longer. "Spook... can you- thanks." What genius had put the dex to his left, knowing he couldn't move that arm for the time being? Oh well, Spook had levitated over to pick it up for him and bring it within reach. Alba blinked a few times so he could read the message. A meeting? Alba groaned again and let the dex fall with his hand back to the blankets.
Time to get up, then. Yup, getting uuuuup... now. Geeeetting u- nope. He hadn't noticed the IV attached to his arm before, and he was definitely nodding off again now.

Alphard wrapped his little hands in Faleen's sleeve and clung more tightly as they entered the crush of people.
Everyone was there - including Nadja, her damp hair hastily wrung out and smelling of chlorine and her earrings missing as she tweaked the collar of her executive uniform into place. "On your feet, Agent," she told the nodding head in front of her.

One puff of fluffy white hair poked out from the crowd, connected to a very sleepy looking elite in a lab coat, wondering what the heck this was all about.

What on earth?
Luxury rubbed sleep from her eyes as her Dex suddenly went bonkers. "Wha-?" Meeting? ... Oh hell. The mission.
Her eyes flew open and in minutes the grunt was out the door, somewhat decently dressed in jeans and t-shirt and stumbling a little on her weak ankle. She was glad to have the casts off and to be rid of crutches, but the ligaments were still tender and the muscles sore. This made out to be annoying when one was in a hurry to get somewhere, especially when one just woke up ten cracks before dawn. After the last mission... Dread settled into her stomach as she wondered who made it back from this one...
Limping into the lobby, the grunt looked around with wide eyes - and quickly spotted Panther. She was happy he hadn't gone on the mission without her, happy he was safe here at base, but she knew he felt as crappy about having to stay behind as she did. Trying to force a smile out of her worry, she moved herself next to him. "Hey, Pan."

The normally brown grunt seemed to pale several shades at Faleen's answer. "Only three..?" Which three? Alba had to be one of those three, right? He had to. He didn't know anyone else on the raid, so he had to be alright, right? He had to. Had to. But the announcement came up on his dex, so he made his way to the lobby as quickly as he could. They'd probably figure out there what happened.
---------------------------------
Claire had just gotten out of the shower when her 'dex buzzed with the announcement, so she quickly dressed and put her contacts in, ran her brush through her hair a few times and hurried down to attend it. Was everyone back from the mission yet? She certainly hoped so, it was supposed to be a simple one she thought, nothing too hard. Aulus would be back any minute now. ...unless he was in the infirmary, but she'd go check on him later.
Her optimism faded completely by the time she filed into the lobby with everyone else, hearing ominous rumors about the fate of those on the mission... For instance, that only three of them returned. Her stomach was doing complex flips when she spotted Isadora not far from her, so she made her way over to the older woman. "Do you know what happened?" She asked, concern evident in her tone and furrowed brow. She'd never known of a meeting like this to happen before... This wasn't good, not at all.

Waking up to a RocketDex was just the worst. The sense of apprehension it invoked in Elle was unmatched.
She was rumpled, her hair hastily brushed, no makeup, her uniform crooked, but she was going to this meeting. It was her first big meeting since joining, and she just had to know what was happening that was so important that it involved ALL the Rockets. She was lost in a sea of unfamiliar faces, sensing the growing unrest as people realized that something was wrong.
She knew that there had been a mission. But she didn't know who had gone. Still, she worried. If something had happened, it would be terrible...
