Welcome to Gaia! ::

Scientist, names Nyx, and she was a grunt.
Well, it was no wonder Faleen never met her before, Faleen didn’t get to go down to the labs often, especially not at the bio engineering, since she honestly…. Had no reason to be down there.
A few things happened at once when Faleen watched the white haired grunt go again, leaving Faleen to stand by her Umbreon.
Already some of the others were worried about food, some she could say were almost panicking, closterphobia would be her guess.
Staring at them for a while longer, baffled, and keeping her distance.

And then… the door opened and someone walked in.
she felt her own stretch of silence, her mind already thinking about how quickly they were going to get out of there… until the door closed behind the rocket, trapping yet one more into the training room.
“Well” she said after a stunned hesitation “at least we know the outside works”
this conclusion provoked a slight grumble from Umbreon.
Shaking her head Faleen touched one of Umbreon’s ears, gesturing for him to follow as she made her way over to the wall where her small bag had been placed.
Pulling her jacket off of the worn out pouch she crouched down to pull out some water for Umbreon.
Pouring some of it out into a small cup, placing it down on the floor.
Knowing someone was sitting against the wall as well, Faleen moved her attention to them for a moment,
Nikki, Faleen had some in, but since then the Agent hadn’t made much comment about them being locked in the room. She was keeping her cool, no surprise there.
“Its Nikki, Ma’am, right?”
She had heard about the agent a few times, bumped into her for a moment a few times. Hadn’t heard her name until Hayes said it once.

The fiasco with someone walking through the door, only to have it shut again, did draw an eyetwitch from the agent. The fact that people could come in and not leave, was just stupid. The door was obviously broken.

Still this was just an inconvenience and while part of her wanted to rant and rave about it and blame it on her partner. Well... she just really wasn't in the mood.

However, when a grunt she vaguely recognized walked over, Nikki looked up from her sitting place. The Pidgeot beside her fluffing up his feathers in a threat display. It took a moment for her to place the face. Oh yeah, the one that got shot.

"Yeah. What do you want?" Nikki muttered, clearly not in the mood for social chatter either. But then when was she ever?

As long as people didn't start arguing, being stuck in the training facility didn't seem as bad as Akemi had thought at first. However, if help didn't come soon, it was going to be a rather long night. The Grunt decided to release the rest of her pokémon, save for the Charizard that she muttered a sheepish apology to. Hikari was rather large, so it was better if it stayed inside the ball..

After that, Akemi pulled out a sketchbook and a pencil from her bag, starting to sketch the various pokémon and eggs that were currently out in the facility, writing down little notes about their behaviour. She did love observing them.. there was so much to learn about pokémon. Maybe, just maybe, with enough studying and experience about their behavioral patterns and such she could join the science department too, one day.
It'd be the best she could do as a Team Rocket member as being a breeder was pretty much out of the question with this career. There was just no way to maintain two lifestyles that required so much work.

Giving Nikki a small grin at the less then enthusiastic "hi"
moving her hands behind to, pressing them into the wall as she leaned against it, watching her Umbreon finish up his water, and taking a look at how the rest of the room was doing.
Reaching up to tuck loose strands of hair behind her ear, glad to see that people seemed to have settled down a little.

lifting his head when he had had enough water, a few droplets dripping off of his chin before he sat down, using his paw to dry off his chin.
"Umbreon"
grabbing his Masters attention to the fact that he was finished.

"alright go out" he said with a nod, pushing herself off the wall again to follow after her Umbreon who trotted to the ring.
Faleen hesitated only to look at Nikki again "would you mind being my training partner for a round?" she asked polity.
her Shuppet wasn't around, so she didn't have another Pokemon for Umbreon to go up against.
Knoiwng Nikki was probably leagues ahead of her in training, but it would be interesting to see how Umbreon's improved since they first stared.

"Oh really?" Hayes raised a brow and half-grinned at Nyx. He remembered her from the labs - if not for the hair, the goggles were a dead giveaway. "I used to play. And it gets better as you go up the ranks." Perhaps to make up for stopping the Drifloon's nomming - or reward him for going along with it - the blonde reached up and gave the balloon Pokemon a pat. "Good taste, Newton."

The sound of the door opening caught the agent's attention; he turned with the rest of the room's occupants, adding his voice to the collective shout. "Don't close tha- ... heh." The Rocket let out a breath and smiled, exasperated but good-humored.

Movement in his peripheral vision caught his eye; looked like a battle was starting, and he recognized both the participants. Hayes smiled at Nyx. "Want to go kill time?" He jerked a thumb over his shoulder to indicate the match that was shaping up and started to head that way, returning his hands to his pockets.

Nyx leaned around Hayes to see where he was pointing to; She was too short to see over his shoulder.
"Ahh... Alright." As long as she didn't have to battle. Nyx dreaded the fact that she would have to battle eventually, maybe even out in the field, not just in training.
"Who are they?" She followed Hayes.

Sorano was sitting upon the bleachers, hands clutching clumps of his hair as he rocked back and forth in the fetal position. How long had it been? Eight minutes? Fourteen days? One year? He was going to be stuck in here forever!

"ARCEUS, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO CRUEL?!" he suddenly screamed like a madman.

One has broken, will the rest follow? The world of Pokemon may never know.
