[SEASON 2] The Stalkers RPG - Main Action and Team Status [ENDED... FOR NOW]

[Neo Emolga]

Escort 71. Caagu the Numel to the Object {Type Conductors: +Fire Type+, +Ground Type+} at (89) Macanan Textile Manufacturing

You decide to pay Caagu the Numel a visit and get his help with something. He gets home from work just in time to see you by his door. He definitely wasn't expecting you, but you then talk to him about the conductors at the textile manufacturing plant.

"I guess," Caagu shrugs. "I kind of had a long day today, but you did me a favor so I'll help out."

You both then head to the Macanan Textile Manufacturing plant, specifically where the upper floors are. The area around it is full of broken machines, damaged supplies, and obsolete raw materials. The area around is a mess, but you head to the back where the console is and relocate the nodes.

"Wow, what a dump," Caagu remarks as he looks around. "Really makes you wonder just how some Pokémon get this negligent to let something like this happen. Sure glad it's not my job to clean this up."

He then approaches the nodes and nods as he recognizes what these are for.

"Ah, now I see why you needed my help," He nods with a smirk. "I'll handle these."

Caagu then focuses on the red node first, taking a deep breath, closing his eyes, and then lets loose a Flame Burst attack on the node, heating it up quickly and causing the trigger mechanism to activate. He then turns to the brown node and then strikes it with an Earth Power attack, causing the ground beneath the node to shake and tremble. And that in turn causes the second node to activate which then opens the metal door in the back.

"Mmm, that was almost fun," Caagu tells you as you both head into the next room.

You both see that this room is nearly empty save for a large but dated computer console stationed beside it with wires and tubes running everywhere along with many machine parts well beyond your knowledge. Both you and Caagu try approach it, but when you get close, the main, large screen suddenly flickers on with a hologram of a Chatot dressed in a black hoodie. You're not even sure if this Chatot is real and being broadcasted from somewhere else or if it's just an AI. He gives you the evil eye as he has a mike wrapped with his wing. Suddenly, a rap beat begins to play in the background.

"Looks like fresh meat," the Chatot replies cynically, looking down upon both of you. "I'll tell ya what, homie, 'cause I'm about to talk street an' I'm about to spit my thug over this here beat while ya take a seat."

"Wait, wait!" Caagu speaks up to the hologram. "Who or what are you?"

"Name's Chatz," he nods as he dances a bit, mocking and taunting Caagu. "Talkin' down the brats before they fall flat. I want to hear ya words rattle as I challenge ya to a rap battle so if ya want me to fork over the goods I'm gonna need ya to talk to me like ya got ya blood from the hoods."

Object: {Argumentative AI: <Diplomacy>} has been noted in the Team Records.

"Uhh... but I don't-" Caagu mutters.

"Well ain't that a shame," Chatz taunts Caagu and you. "One fat camel and one chilly weasel can't bring the rush like a truck still runnin' on diesel. When you're ready to ignite the flame, come at me hard or ya will always just be the same, losin' the game an' never taste the kiss of the fame."

You try to tell it to listen, but even after only muttering a few words, the machine shuts off and the holographic image of the rapper Chatot simply disappears, leaving you two alone in the dimly lit room again. It seems like Chatz is sentient enough to not even want to be bothered to come back on despite your pleas to just have a reasonable conversation.

"AI that wants to rap battle..." Caagu mutters, looking defeat. "That's not something I can do."

Unfortunately, you don't think it's something you can do either. It seems like you'll need someone who has a good way with words to deal with whatever this Chatot seems to be expecting.

You both decide to head back as the sun is coming down.
