((No time to reply before hour-long drive back to the dorm, but Inigo will go with group two, so just pretend he's following along and stuff |D))

Going with Nyx (duh)
They had taken her pokemon? Well that just figured. "We'll get them back." Mau said, and without really thinking, reached over to Nyx and half wrapped an arm around her, half ruffled her hair. "I'm glad you're safe." He gave a faint smirk, then whispered "Princess."

((Team One!))
Stepping over to Kunai, Aulus gave Hayes a wry grin. "Where you would be without me to watch your back while you do your techie thing, eh?" he asked rhetorically, slapping his partner on the shoulder companionably. Yes, anything that tried to eff with Hayes was going to get a face full of wood at very high speed.

Nyx smiled when she finally realized one of the 'grunts' was Mau. "Ah-" Nyx blushed slightly, which was obscured on one side by a nasty looking purple bruise on the side of her face. "It took you long enough to come get me." She joked and poked his side.

Team One
Weighing options. Hmm.
Kunai was his direct superior. Kunai was going with Team One. They were going to gather information - his specialty. Also, less chance of getting physically injured. A bonus. Less chance of needing to use pokemon for battle. A plus. And if he was going to stick with his partner, then...
He glanced at Faleen. What would she choose? He had little doubt. "After you~"

Team Two
Well. This was a nice twist of pace. Legendary pokemon? Johto? Oh yeah. The easy part was beyond over.
Getting her pokemon back was not going to be an easy task. Luxury had a sneaking suspicion that Agent Panther would want to be in on it, and actually, so did Luxury. She wanted to learn tech stuff, sure, but when it got down to it there would be time for that later. There were really experienced and capable Rockets with them that would not need a newbies help, so going with the first team would only put her in the way of things.
"I'll help getting her pokemon back." Luxury nodded. She wanted to be as useful as she could, and it seemed like that was the way to do it. Besides, a little action never hurt anyone, and since she was beaten to the punch on their first take-out of Galactics she was itching to get on on take two.
Besides, she regretted not knowing Nyx before all this mess, and she hoped to get to know her a little now.

Well, the choice for her was a little tricky, but looking at it in a team sense it was odvious where she needed to go.
She was glad to see the Rocket she considered a friend again, and would love to go and help her. But Faleen belonged where there was technology, even if she wasn't a hacker.
This choice however was not hers to make, as she looked over to Izaya to confirm with him first
Though, to no surprise he seemed to be on the same track as her.
"I'm glad you agree." She said with a grin, and headed over to join team one.

Agent Panther frowned quietly to himself just for a moment. Going to the brig sounded dangerous. They could possibly be captured, but also it allowed for fighting, defiantly more his style. The tech crew had a Mewtwo, they would survive well enough without him.
He looked up at Luxury’s comment. Oh she expected him to go, that way. Well he couldn’t disappoint her, now could he? Besides Nyx could need some good support while she retrieved her pokemon. He nodded and fallowed Luxury, not saying anything, that frown still on his face.

Team Two
Sierra glanced between the two forming teams. A part of her was still wary about this whole thing, considering how lax Galactic seemed to be regarding letting their prisoners just wander about on their own. Was there something else going on here? The paranoid part of her brain said there was. And it was safer to listen to it and be wrong, than ignore it when it might be right.
Still, task at hand, Sierra. Normally, she'd go with those gathering information. She was better with subtle work, yes...but on the other hand, computers weren't exactly her specialty. Yeah, she could use one...but she was no hacker, that was for sure. She'd have been standing around basically useless, unable to add much help to the skilled hackers already on the team. On the other hand, she had been focusing on training her Pokemon in her free time. She knew her little group well, and knew they'd do anything they could to protect her and follow her orders.
Just in case they ran into any trouble of course.
Besides, surely the other Rocket had a similar bond with her Pokemon. Sierra couldn't imagine being separated from her partners for so long, or feeling so helpless without them. Best to help make sure that they were at full strength before making their next move to get back out of this place. She crossed to join the group standing near Nyx, only a passing glance over the man ruffling her hair in a familiar fashion before answering simply, "I'm with you."

(Team Two!)
Were Aila more familiar with those video games Pitre was always playing, this scenario would have seemed immensely familiar to her. However, she was not, and so instead of taking amusement from the similarity, she instead seriously considered the two paths before her (likely a good choice, given the nature of the mission). She was fairly skilled with computers, but certainly not enough to be of any assistance on a hacking job. Her opinion on wanton violence, though, stood - but they wouldn't necessarily be carving a path of punched faces through a sea of Galactic grunts, would they? She had brought a number of pokemon capable of debilitating enemies, and she imagined such skills would be beneficial to the task.
"I'll assist in the retrieval," she decided, joining the loose amalgam of Rockets that had chosen the same. She couldn't help but spare a glance in Izaya's direction as she did so; he wasn't her responsibility anymore, and certainly he and the rest of his group were more than capable of completing their objective. She needn't worry, and she knew she needn't worry, but she would worry nonetheless. With an expulsive task, she redirected her attention to the matter at hand. Everything up to then had been a prologue - this was where the mission really started, and she couldn't afford to lose focus.

Well.
Hacking computers sounded interesting... but in practice she kind of doubted it would be as interesting as imagined. She knew biology, genetics and such; computers and coding held a fascination and a familiarity but she had no illusions about just how useful she might actually be in that situation.
Besides, she was a lab grunt and so there had to be some lab-based loyalty to Nyx.
She quickly put a hand to Palu's pokeball, reminding herself that she'd brought her most experienced and trusted pokemon, then further reassured herself with the rest of her team; even Neph could be useful in a dire situation- she just had to release her at an enemy's face or something.
Tambrey took one step toward that forming team; surely she had to be most useful here...

Amused to see Faleen in such uncharacteristically high spirits, he beamed at her before glancing over to Team Two. Feeling a gaze on him, Izaya turned to catch Aila's glance. He nodded to her and gave her a cheerful salute, wishing her team good luck while assuring her he and his would be fine. He could tell she was still worrying. Why did she have to do that?
Well, at the very least she didn't think he needed to be babied so bad that she had to accompany his same team. Then again, maybe that was just because it seemed to have the 'safer' mission of the two. Despite everything, Izaya was grateful to have Hayes' partner, the scarred man, on their team after he'd seen what the Rocket had been able to do with a bo staff.
Sure, he had his switchblade and Kunai had her knives. However, he wasn't sure he trusted Faleen, Hayes, and 1337 to be capable of fighting proper battles while the distractions of Galactic's system and shiny, metal tech was all around. All in all, the teams seem fairly distributed, though the especially compassionate exchange between Nyx and Mau did not go unnoticed. Seemed like there were certain other reasons people had for choosing their teams.

"My kingdom for a horse." He removed his hand from her hair. The bruise caught his eye as she poked him. "Who did that to you?" It was more like he asked 'Who should I make pay for that?' He looked up as others seemed to move closer, choosing sides. He was surprised Aila chose to fight with them. And this other girl who seemed rather soft spoken, and Mau hardly noticed her at first, but he had been preoccupied. Were they fighters? Panther he had seen in action and knew he could be trusted, and was glad that he was joining them.

On the way over to the Elite that would be leading their team, Faleen made sure to pass Nyx. reaching out to touch her lightly on the elbow.
"Its good to see you well, Nyx." She smiled softly, though noticed the bruising on her face...
"Good luck in retrieving your pokemon."
She glanced over to Mau, with a nod of her head to the Agent. Before continuing past.

OOC: Until the two teams meet up again, please include the team you're posting for at the top of your posts. Thanks!
- - -
GROUP ONE:
Kunai didn't look back to see which Rockets had chosen to follow her as she stepped indoors. She remained focused and alert, eyes forward. What sort of location would be private but offer the kind of interface they were looking for? She doubted they were going to stumble upon any convenient unused computer labs (though you couldn't be sure with this place).
On the upside, their quasi-aimless journey gave the group a nice walking tour of the ship. They passed all sorts of rooms. Quarters, meeting rooms, lounging rooms, tons of occupied offices. Team Galactic seemed like a pretty cushy place to work.
Eventually they came to a closed door beside a small sign that said, "BRIEFING ROOM". Looking through a small window in the door revealed a dark room with a large computer in the middle. It was perfect. It was also locked.
After trying the door, Kunai stepped aside and looked back at her team. "Open it. Quietly." She didn't care how they did it, she just wanted it done.
GROUP TWO:
A dark look crossed Nyx's features when Mau asked about her injury. "Tethys." She said flatly, and with a tone that implied she probably wanted to get that devil of a woman in her labs.
"Alright, you guys be careful. This place is huge, and they don't use nearly every room at once." Nyx removed herself from the door to let the other group pass, and then turned to address her own party. "You all know the drill. Be discreet, be quiet." Her speech was short, and she ended it by opening the door and walking out as casually as she could manage. The brig was on the lower floor, which any of the large maps scattered about the ship would show, and would require that the group crowd into an elevator.
When the elevator opened on a lower level, it deposited the team just outside the brig entrance. Two large metal doors beneath a sign that read "BRIG" was all that separated the team from their goal.
Nyx smiled a little at the thought of having her pokemon back; The incident with the plane had made her feel more than helpless without her team. "We need to be quick. I'm going to go in first. While I'm distracting them, get ready to strike. We need to take out as many as we can at once." She looked around at her group and then at the giant metal doors as she stepped through them quietly.
Inside the brig Nyx walked up to one of the guards and smiled, "Hey there! I'm gonna need my pokemon back."
The brig was, unfortunately, teeming with guards. Of course a place like this would would be populated by more capable agents than the Dunsparce. Galactics were scattered along the walls of the long room. Some of them had Arcanine and Houndoom at their sides. As Nyx walked to the desk she succeeded in her goal. All eyes were on her.. and not on the door.
"That hasn't been authorized." A serious-looking man behind the desk glared at her. "I'm going to have to ask you to leave."
If the Rockets waiting outside were going to get the drop on the brig crew, the time to strike was now.
