The chemical smell of plastic entered through your beak as you peer into the second floor of the Javelin Manufacturing Plant. The instructions were relatively clear: find the security station and hack the camera. You take a short walk through the second floor, ensuring that your fluffiness does not snare on any pointed equipment as you walk by. It's easy to find the security room, so you approach it in the relative darkness and creak open the door.
Upon peering inside, you can see an obvious security panel on the old-looking computer station. It may not be obvious to some people, but with you advanced knowledge of security, you're able to spot it immediately. You approach it and key in a few things which brings up the screen which grants you access to the security camera footage. You're unsure which camera is going to give you the information Pormalu informed Olea about, so you use your skills to access each one on this floor. When you come upon the fourth one, #13, you can instantly tell it's what you want.
The console screen shows you the distant but easily discernible form of an Archeops working away at their station on this floor. The timestamp down the bottom reads 44:43:50, but you know from the phone log that Pormalu gave to Olea that the time you're looking for isn't until 44:44:15. For the following twenty-three seconds, you watch the Archeops working away until they abruptly stop, pulling out what looks to be a phone from their apron. Two seconds later the dual type answers, and the timestamp down the bottom reads 44:44:15, just as the phone log does. A few seconds into the call, you can tell by their body language that the Archeops is clearly frightened and begins to panic. The Pokémon then dashes away from their station and out of the camera's range. You frown, tapping into a different camera which overlooks the entrance to Floor 2, and go to the appropriate time. The Archeops, surely enough, is seen speeding out of the doorway and presumably makes their way into the stairwell.
You're not quite sure what to make of this, so you close the feed and access one of the exterior cameras. You wait a few seconds until finally the Archeops comes into view at the bottom of the screen and speeds along the pathway leading away from the building, then disappears from the camera's view. You know this is not enough to tell you anything, but before you can dig deeper, a separate window suddenly flashes in your face.
ASSOCIATED REPORT ATTACHED. OPEN?
YES / NO
Figuring this is the only way you can gather more information about this incident, you select "Yes" and wait until a document expands on the screen. You spend a few minutes reading the whole thing, and although you know that this isn't a report you can legally take with you, you'll be able to recite the incident for your teammates. You go over the information once again.
Dominique the Archeops left her place of work one hour and fifteen minutes before she was scheduled to finish her shift after receiving a phone call at 44:44:15 from her friend Rusco, who was a Primeape. The phone calls have since been listened to by authorities and were confirmed legitimate. Dominique explained to police that her friend must have been on his way to visit her on her shift to surprise her, when he was suddenly attacked on the street by the Stalker known as Philter.
He managed to make a call to her, and she was able to reach him before he died due to his close location less than a block down the street. According to her recount, the scene was horrifying; Rusco was screaming in pain and terror, clutching his temples as blood began to seep from his eyes, ears and mouth. She called the police and remained with him while the police were on their way, but did not reach them before Rusco's brain was entirely devoured by the seed that Philter had implanted in him. He was found by police with tendrils poking out of his body in various places.
Dominique's identity was kept secret, known only to the Chief of Police, Pormalu the Arcanine. The other officers on the scene were sworn to secrecy for their own safety and for the safety of Dominique. Mere hours later was when Satia, the Manectric police officer, was also targeted and killed by Philter. Coincidentally, she was one of the officers who arrived on the scene that night. The only other piece of information that stuck out to you was Rusco's last words, which Dominique alone was around to hear. He was screaming repeatedly that a Maractus had implanted seeds into his head. He died before he could give any further details.
You carry this information with you in your head as you shut everything off and ensure that no trace of your activity was left behind.
