You find Solok the Electrode works during the day as a prison guard over at Silvercoal Correctional. It seems outgoing and optimistic despite its line of work. You figure dealing with inmates all day with their insults and uncooperative behavior would easily wear out any Pokémon quickly enough, but it seems it doesn't bother Solok in the slightest. You could imagine it must have a will of fire in order to withstand the kind of harsh and brutal environment it works in, but somehow, it does.
You approach Solok while it's at the watch tower. For now, the prisoners are having lunch in the mess hall so there's no one outside to watch. You greet and introduce yourself to Solok, and it seems friendly enough to you.
"Hello there, ma'am!" the Electrode greets you. "You aren't lost, are you?"
You smile but explain what you're doing here and if it knows something about the Stalker incidents. Solok nods, looking a bit iffy, but it decides to give you as many details as it knows.
"Well, there's something going on around the prison and it's ugly," Solok tells you. "I got Chief Pormalu on the phone about some of the things I've been seeing around here and he told me it definitely sounds like the work of a Stalker named Nightlust."
"First, there's the 'Insanity Hall' as one fellow Charmeleon guard named Krant called it,' Solok explains. "It spooked even a guy like Krant and he's tough as nails. So I checked it out myself and I'll admit it did light my nerves up a bit for a moment. That's unusual. That thing is on the third sublevel and I'm not even sure how or when this Nightlust got into there without anyone noticing, but now the lock has been retrofitted with something grizzly, demanding something called Evangtin, Anaksin, and Xetdan... whatever those things are supposed to be. We tried to break through it but that didn't work and now there's something going on down there that there's definitely Stalker-related work."
"We've got a similar problem on the thirteenth floor," Solok continues. "One of the prisons that belonged to an inmate named Culkan the Staraptor was also renovated by this Nightlust. Culkan was found dead looking like his soul was spooked out of him and now what used to be his cell is the 'Doom Prison.' Again, the other guards hate looking at it. I'm the only one that seems to even tolerate just walking by it. It is unsettling, but I guess I've seen enough to be desensitized to it."
"Lastly, Damnation Prison, up on the 29th floor," Solok further explains. "It's a similar story, only in this case, Nightlust killed two inmates. It was creepy the day we found it. A Plusle and a Minun, one painted almost all black while the other was almost all white, save for a spot on their forehead, which was the opposite of the other's in a creepy Yin-Yang kind of way. We didn't know what to make of it. They both died looking absolutely horrified at each other. How no one heard them scream is a mystery, but that's the nature of it. Their prison was turned into one of Nightlust's hideaways. Or one of his secret stashes. We can't get in there now and it's a bit unsettling how a Stalker is using our maximum security prison as their own play-place, but my guess is the other Stalkers are doing that all over town. Someone's got to put an end to that, along with all the other things they've been doing. Unfortunately, I'm needed here to keep these inmates under control. We can't afford to reduce the staff here to go on investigations. I guess that's where you Emissaries need to come in."
"That's as much as I know, Lita," Solok tells you, still trying to keep a smile despite the tough situations. "I definitely did my background checks, looked at Pormalu's case files, and there's definitely links to Nightlust here. You and the rest of the Emissaries have my authorization to search the prison, just be careful. I'm sure these places are extremely dangerous."
For a moment, it seems Solok was about to return to his station post, but then it remembers one more thing.
"Oh, and one more thing," Solok tells you. "I happen to be one of the head instructors for the security team. Because of that, I'm in charge of training new recruits in situational awareness and security. I suppose that's also the reason why I'm a lot more resistant to the effects of these... things the Stalkers keep setting up to keep others out of their way. Listen, you already seem pretty knowledgeable in the field of security, but if the other Emissaries need some help in that field, I'll be happy to work with them if I get a free moment."
Solok the Electrode has been identified as knowing Security.
"As always, be ready and prepared for anything," Solok tells you with a confident grin. "When you work here for as long as I have, well, that tends to come naturally."
