You head back to the guild training grounds in the hopes of being able to unlock the metal box that your fellow Emissary found half dug-up. After wandering through for a while, noting very few pokémon here at night, you find it and slap your paws on either side of the container. It's heavier than you expect, and you almost topple backwards as you pull it free, but steady yourself in time. It drops down, landing hard against the earth and digging out a chunk of dirt with a corner. You set it down at a suitable angle and begin your work on it, employing small lockpicking tools that you carry with you at all times.

It's relatively simple, but still takes you a minute or two to figure out the mechanism properly. When it pops open, you're immediately met with a foul smell, and to your disgust, you realise that you're looking at a box filled to the brim with nasty pokémon remains, bits of cartilage, organ waste, and a blood-stained, three-toed black paw. The sight of it drills into your mind, and you can immediately tell that this was a Stalker's doing. Your brain feels like it's collapsing in on itself as you feel panic set in, unable to stop yourself from shaking. You drop your tools into the muck, just so you can clutch your head in an attempt to stop it from shuddering with fear.

The madness finally settles, and you sigh as you feel the hold on you releasing. It's a bloody sight, but you can sense that the paw has some relevance to you and your mission. Reluctantly you reach down and take it, grimacing as you do so.

You figure that's all that this location has to offer, so you take your leave, hoping that you can sanitise your paws as soon as you get to the clubhouse.
