Stalkers RPG Main Action and Team Status [SEASON 4]

[Neo Emolga]

You seem like a reasonable fellow, Orin, so I'll ask you this. What's your relationship like with Shilamora? Is she the reason you became a stalker?

And you better not lie to me otherwise I'll rip your heart out right where you stand. Hehehe...

... I'm still not entirely sure you're not a Stalker, Madder.

Something about this Orin situation doesn't add up, so I'm going to investigate 1. Shilamora the Goodra

Madder the Mimikyu's Investigation of 1. Shilamora the Goodra has been completed.

You initiate your investigation on Shilamora when the sun goes down, always watching her from a distance. As the others have discerned, you accept that she couldn't possibly be Indulge and be the one responsible for killing Meela-Tay, but still, you are well aware that she could be one of the others. In light of this, you decide to see what more you can learn from keeping your gaze locked on her, weaving your way through the shadows like the eyes of a fast-moving, spidery specter.

Given she's the stand-in mayor of the town, she has plenty of guards, but you still manage to make your way by them, slipping by through whatever means necessary to dig up as much information on her as you can regardless of how imposing they might seem.

The night of Meela-Tay's murder, you saw her sleeping the entire time. But during that time, you didn't see anything unusual.

Throughout the day, you follow her and watch her from the shadows, no matter where she goes. Shilamora is definitely a brazen Goodra with high expectations and an absolute hatred for excuses. While she does plenty of administrative work for Salvage Keep, ego is important to her as well and she doesn't ever let herself appear to be meek or anxious. She sees herself as a prestigious leader and Pokémon, and doesn't pass up any opportunities to build upon that.

The fastest way to get on Shilamora's bad side is to question her authority and practices. She's self-assured that she's doing the best job anyone could ever do and to deviate from that leadership style would be a drastic mistake. She's also extremely well-organized and very meticulous about how and when things should be done. Being rude, impolite, or too overly-casual is something she takes offense to and she doesn't hesitate to make that known.

During meals, she enjoys drinking fine and what appears to be very expensive rare tea. She's also a bit of a gambler, enjoying games of chance. But from what you gather during your time watching her, she doesn't have any perks or teachable skills, or at least not things that the Emissaries would find helpful. In any case, you have doubts Shilamora has the time to teach anyone the things she knows. You have the feeling she'd prefer to keep that knowledge to herself and let it be that only she knows of certain things.

You find that Shilamora's network runs deep. She was friends with Silcress before he was blown up by Payload. In the meantime, she seems unaware about how much Orin wants her head on a stick, but you can see exactly where the Vivillon's claims of being thrown into the gutter have come to pass. You could easily argue she used him to rise to the top, took the glory for herself, and then pushed him into a corner where he served more like an underling than a friend and a companion. But you get the idea that she sees nothing wrong with it and that it was simply natural for her to take full control while Orin just faded into obscurity.

Typhen the Luxio seems to be another friend of hers, who would be her shining white knight if anyone threatened to do harm to her. She also has a friendship with Greg the Torracat, who runs the tavern Greg's Grog. It seems they spend quite a few hours sharing gossip and Greg clues her in on the dirty secrets of others so she doesn't need to go picking into these matters herself. Aluxi the Kommo-o is another one of her underground information sources, and you easily get an idea of how Shilamora keeps Salvage Keep under control by ensuring she knows the darkest secrets about anyone or anything that might try to undo her authority. It makes you wonder if this was in fact the very way Orin slowly had his power and authority bled out of him. Lastly, Xelphar the Turtonator, while not a very close friend, still enjoys short sessions of casual high-life conversation with her, often letting her know of any good books he's read that she might like.

During a moment where you begin to believe Shilamora is thinking she's being followed, you quickly but silently try to return to the shadows.

Madder rolls Stealth: 96%. Stealthy bonus +25% = 121%!
Result: Ninjas want your autograph.

But she suspects nothing and returns to her usual daily activities. You finish by recording your observations and then return to base with your full report and analysis in hand.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Based upon your investigation, you believe that while Shilamora's ego and attitude has caused her to get lofty ideas and douse them with her own arrogance, she doesn't show any sign or trait of being controlled or swayed by an internal Enthraller. None of her possessions seem to radiate with a Stalker's distinctive infernal aura. Based on what you've seen, you find yourself not suspicious of Shilamora, or at least not in terms of being a Stalker. You do, however, find it distasteful that she's thrown several Pokémon under the bus to get where she is today and did it with a very "ends justify the means" mentality.
