Welcome to Gaia! ::

The excited barking from a Pokemon could be heard echoing from down the hall, and quickly padding paws.
shortly after a Shiny Zorua came skidding around the corner, sliding to a stop before she jumped, spinning around to face the hall she had just come from, bushy tail wagging and barking a few more times.

"Zorua, that's enough please, I know."
a female voice spoke in response, as gray boots caught up and paused in front of Zorua.
The dark blond agent was in a new uniform, and looking much more composed than she had the day during and after the mission.
With a data pad tucked under her arm, and Umbreon striding next to her, the two of them looking down at the very excited zorua.
"Don't run to far ahead, your going to trip someone, after the meeting we'll go train."
this seemed to excite the Zorua even more as she started jumping around.

Faleen grinned a little, shaking her head with a soft laugh, and turned to continue down the hall, only stopping when she saw a familiar agent sitting by one of the windows.
Tilting her head softly, the dark blond lowered her arm to her side, and walked over.
"Agent Clare," Faleen greeted. "How are your burns healing?"

The human that Master was approaching had two other pokemon with her. one of them pounced down into a play stance.
Zorua perked her ears curiously tilting her head with a couple of blinks, before trotting after Faleen, stepping into the much longer stride next to Umbreon.
A Sly little smirk spreading over her face as she approached the Eevee.

"I managed to avoid getting injured by the dex, though my uniform was ruined." she said, knowing she had been fairly lucky to avoid any burns.
"I can relate to your situation though, I hope you can return to active duty before to long" The agent offered.

Umbreon certainly didn't look the playful type. and when the Growlithe asked about playing, he simply gave the fire type a level glance, before shifting his red eyes up at the humans conversation.

Zorua, just continued to smirk, tail flicking around behind her She said, tilting her head up a little.

Faleen nodded slowly, glancing down to the paperwork that the other Agent had mentioned before looking back to the girl herself when she broguth up the riddle.
She blinked, keeping her face professional, though her cheeks blushed a little pink.
"Oh, Thank you." She said, feeling a little embarrassed suddenly, though grateful for the complement.
'I'm certain you would have been able to get it. any of us could have gotten it sooner than that Deimos anyway." She shook her head at this.
"Insightful event..."

Zorua smirked, tilting her head up a little She snickered again, clearly having fun with this.

She blinked again, flushing a little redder as she lowered her gaze quietly for a moment, only to return it quickly when Claire continued to talk.
"So seems to be the general opinion." Faleen acknowledged. following with a soft sigh "Unfortunately the only strength he seems to have is a significant one."
She seemed to accept this much easier than she had in the cave, though her softly sagging demeanor showed she still carried disappointment about the fact that their work with the G-ball would not be going any farther... it wasn't a total loss, becasue of other information they got Agent Hayes and her were able to work out a solid theory from that technology, but a failure was a failure.

"I'm glad we were all able to take it out of there okay, though admittedly that was one of the more... awkward events we've been through."
Faleen had not been blind to the fact that Claire had seemed very uneasy during the time they were trapped in the cave.

The Zorua asked with a little toothy grin working along her lips.

"Yes, well." She shook her head softly, glad to be back in base anyway. Even if it hasn't been a very good week.
She signed softly, and glanced back up at her "We did learn some good things from then that day though, we would have never figured it out."
Even if she didn't really want to have found the answer.

Zorua lifted a brow with that she just turned her nose up and trotted back over to her team mate

Umbreon glanced down at Zorua with a frown, then over to the Growlithe with a still stare.

Faleen tilted her head at this, giving the other girl a slightly perplexed look, she had been there... had she not heard? Or perhaps, it was more likely she didn't understand. "He's managed to make, and properly utilize theoretical technology and science... He's leagues ahead of even what our labs are capable of doing." she gave a very serious look "Allow me to clarify however, this does not mean we are helpless."
She shook her head softly. then offered Claire a polite smile. "Do you recall him mentioning something called Zero-Point Energy back when he was working on the Dex?"

She informed him with another soft "Hn"


She hopped up, her form spinning suddenly, before she dropped down on two legs, straightening up in the form of Faleen, the little bushy tail behind her twitching a couple of times before she turned to lean over her master's shoulder, curiously peering at the human she was talking to.

Faleen ignored this. tapping a finger on the tablet she was carrying with her.
"Zero-Point Energy is a theory... or at least it was, I could try and explain the theory, but it would be a lot of... time." She smiled, knowing that it probably wouldn't be understood anyway, and Claire would end up regretting that she asked.
"So far we're doing our best to work something out with the information we got... we've gotten some progress, though its nothing near what we were originally hoping for."
She shook her head softly, clearly bothered by this.
"... I noticed you kept quite a distance from the group... I hope I'm not prying, but you seemed particularly uncomfortable in that situation we were in." She held a gloved hand up.
