Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jubilee - Jubilee was accidentally brought into Team Rocket's new base sometime between construction, and the first major move-in of Rockets. Causing various electrical issues with her feeding habits, the little bug proved to be rather elusive until, during exploration of the training facilities, Tambrey and Aulus encountered her; the bug landing on the back of Tambrey's neck. With a lot of persuasion from Paul, and the promise of being able to access unlimited food- mostly due to Gauntlet- Jubilee allowed Tambrey to capture her. Being an electric type, Jubilee found Tambrey really quite wary of her at first, but, to the benefit of both of them, the Rocket agent has been working hard to trust the bug, while Jubilee is beginning to realise that life with Tam', and the other Rockets, isn't actually all that bad for her. ~-Currently a Joltik-~

Gauntlet - Gauntlet was, originally, one of a group of wild Rotom, who caused havoc around Team Rocket's Headquarters, leading up to the Mewtwo escape incident of early 2013. Tambrey's first encounter with him was inside an elevator that it had possessed, while she was trying to go up from the laboratory level to the technology floor as the incident began. Her own fear of electricity and the frightening nature of being trapped inside the elevator, though it released her unharmed on her floor after not too long a time, has made what was always going to be a difficult first impression even moreso. Tambrey's pokémon were among those who helped to bring Gauntlet down to be caught in the first place and it hasn't minded being assigned to her, however she mistrusts and rather fears it. It was assigned to her after she returned, with a broken leg, from a successful raid to capture a Mesprit. Tambrey has not been formally told that this Rotom is the same she encountered during the Mewtwo incident, however its behaviour and her own belief in 'Sod's Law', have led her to believe she knows that it is. Rotom being an electric type, Tambrey was unlikely to warm to it straight away, but their history now has, possibly, made it harder. Gauntlet does not seem to mind; in fact, he seems to be quite a jovial and friendly, if mischevious, pokémon, though unfortunately prone to bouts of hyperactivity. ~-Unevolving: Rotom-~

Xun - Every so often the labs experience a failure that is rather less of a failure than most others. The cell count in the batch might be good, unplanned mutation levels low, embryonic formation and genetic editing uptake might be a steady rate and then one little specimen in the whole batch just happens to develop in an unintended way. Xun was that one specimen of her batch. Cordyline australis provided a large part of the edited genome sequence, and the colouration, though not perfect, was still evident in Xun's appearance. However, some unexpected mutation in her original, Treecko, DNA (likely triggered by the low phosphorous levels inherent as a result of the edited sequence) produced a very unexpected and early evolution before she was technically a fully formed Treecko. This evolution seems to have 'flash frozen' her genetic structure in some way, leaving the grass type forever to be her second stage evolution, and never knowing being anything else. Thus Xun is considered a laboratory failure, and might have been consigned forever to the labs except for Tambrey deciding to keep her out of some fondness for the strange mutant (after all, Palu, her first pokémon, has a similar condition), but with an official justification of 'experimental pokémon'. Her uniqueness doesn't seem to bother Xun on the surface; her feelings on the matter are rather buried beneath a willingness to follow orders and a happy-go-lucky, can-do attitude for the Rocket who gave her a chance. ~-Forever a Grovyle.-~

Suko - With Oxytocin being the first water type to her team, Tambrey couldn't overlook the fact that there were a few disadvantages in power in relying on a Luvdisc as a primary water type. The Luvdisc was undeniably useful, but it felt prudent to add some more muscle to the team, and that muscle may as well come in the form of a water type. Team balance was the justification this time, along with the strategic ability to use 'pledge' attacks in combination with pokémon like Xun and Ashbel, or someone else's starter pokémon. Luckily for Tambrey, Suko- who is, in fact, a big softie deep down, but ready to bruise for her team, was in the list of pokémon queued for reassignment. Suko is quiet, loyal, but caring; she and Ella get along, and tend to work well together. ~-Already a Feraligatr.-~

Turing - Turing was a virtual lab assistant, residing inside the computer systems of the science labs, specifically assigned to genetics, and Tambrey's user logins. It took a long time for Tambrey to see him as more than part of the programming of the systems she used, but eventually she began to really enjoy having him around, and ended up responsible for his nickname. During the time she was helping look into KO's sudden, apparent, return from death, via investigating his DNA, she utilized Turing's skills by removing him from the lab systems and having him aid her sequence and analyze the samples (obtained by Franklin) on isolated machines. As he was now logged as part of her team, she's chosen to keep him outside the system most of the time, finally utilizing his portability. One notable excursion was when Aulus allowed the virtual pokémon to inhabit his arm. ~-A Porygon-Z.-~
