    Nico had spent the afternoon contemplating his own existence and apparently only snorted awake after a few pokemon had already left the base!
    He picked up the weapon left for him and tucked it gently into a tuft of fur, feeling grateful.

    "Alright! Guess I'm off to have a chat with aurorawatch guards and hopefully be allowed to inspect the premises."
    Nico headed off to talk his way into and then search (14a) Eastern Side Palace.

    OOC: Aurorawatch may not be interested, but I sure am!

    Nia readied her equipment to do some sightseeing. Search (41) Canopy Art Museum (ABANDONED)!

    I'm going to equip the Military Dagger and give my Rogue's Dagger to Nico -- just in case he needs it! I have no use for two daggers unless dual wielding is a thing and then I want to keep it
    All set! And dual wielding seems like a cool idea, though I’d need to rework some rules and… it gets complicated. :P

    As the night falls, you decide to set your sights on Frasha’s Seafood Restaurant. From what you’ve heard, it used to be a very fun and friendly family restaurant before a phony lawsuit ruined it for everyone. Still, you can’t help but think maybe someone or something saw an opportunity in it being vacant for these many years. You decide to head out tonight and quickly dart your way through the sky, speeding swiftly through the night across the Northern Reach.

    When you get to the far east side, you spot the abandoned restaurant and you descend downward to start your investigation. From the outside, you see that it must have been a nice family restaurant with all the colorful nautical décor, but before you get the chance to take a look around, you suddenly hear horrific moans behind you.

    You quickly turn to your side and suddenly you see a hideous, decaying Accelgor and a horrific Dusclops, shambling their way toward you, voraciously desiring to feast upon your body. You’re not sure what alerted them to your presence, but you have a feeling they must have been very close by before you even landed…

    HOSTILE ATTACK!
    You have been intercepted by OMEN Infected and must defend yourself!

    Attack Order:

    #1 Vundaren the Ghoul Accelgor
    #2 Carly the Yanmega
    #3 Hadashin the Ghoul Dusclops


    Fight!

    You quickly decide you really don’t want to deal with this at all and it’s not worth it being outnumbered two to one. But before you get the chance to make a run for it, the Accelgor sweeps in and attempts to strike at you, attempting to bite into your carapace!

    Vundaren strikes at Carly! Rolls 51! Miss!
    Carly: 24HP


    You quickly spin and dart away, flickering your wings furiously to dodge the ghoul’s jaws. The ninja-like Pokémon snaps savagely, but only bits into air as you deftly avoid the attack Immediately, you try to make as much distance as you can between you and these attacking ghouls.

    Carly attempts to flee from the battle! Rolls 96! Successfully escapes!

    It doesn’t take long for you to seize a quickly and easy opportunity to dash swifty back into the sky and fly furiously away into the shrouding night clouds. Without the ability to fly, there’s nothing the Accelgor and the Dusclops can do besides just watch you dart through the night sky.

    Carly has successfully escaped from the confrontation.

    Loot Collected:
    <None>

    You head back to the steel mill, counting your blessings that they didn’t get a scratch on you.

    After making it back and catching your breath, you decide to call it a night, hoping tomorrow will be better.

    Lycellus idly tapped the toothpick warhammer against their chin, while humming thoughtfully. Searching Greenlawn Manor had worked out well enough, so logically, the Estate next door should be a good place to look next. Plus it was abondoned, so if a wall were to cave in accidentally, it shouldn't be a problem. Unless the rumors of a squatter were true... So they'd just have to be extra careful when examining not to squash anyone.

    Nico headed off to talk his way into and then search (14a) Eastern Side Palace.
    You decide to head down to the Exacta Military Compound, setting your sights on the Eastern Side Palace where Queen Nytalia and Princess Samona likely spend most of their time safely protected by Aurorawatch. The area is under tight security, but you figure you have a clever way to talk your way in.

    As you leave the steel mill tonight, you head south and appreciate the calmer winds and atmosphere tonight. It’s nice and quiet, though sometimes it feels as thought a little too quiet. Still, as you look around the refuge area you pass by, nightlife in Exacta doesn’t seem to be very active.

    You arrive at the palace side of the compound, which looks regal enough, though you recall this actually used to be a luxury hotel and was converted into an improvised military compound. Well, you figure it’s at least in a safe location, though what became of the original palace seems to be a real question.

    You see two guards on guard duty tonight. A young rookie Ursaring and a plucky Raticate seem to be watching the entrance. You decide to try talking to them and see if you can chat your way into checking the palace grounds out for any clues.

    “Halt, what’s your business?” the Raticate asks you, looking at you suspiciously.

    “Hail, squire,” you reply in a professional tone, having memorized what Aurorawatch’s rank emblems look like. “Reporting on behalf of Senor Staff Scientist Veria, here to conduct a medical toxicology and biocompatibility analysis on pathological OMEN exposure levels on the site grounds and surrounding interior atmosphere.”

    “Medical… huh?” the Raticate asks, looking at you in confusion. “Wait, what was that last part?”

    You then pull out the OMEN Sample Collection Jar, pretending Veria instructed you to use it here. Meanwhile, to the two guards, it’s a very complex scientific device gadget that they have no idea what it does or how it even works.

    “Precisely KA-43 proximity exposure to OMEN gi-01AX mutagen and LV-G1I levels that may transmute carboxyl groups and ribonucleic acids,” you explain to both the Raticate and Ursaring, only to confuse them further. “I’m going to need a full topographical assessment of pH levels to assess for any endotoxins that may trigger a macromolecule transmutation in addition to-“

    “Uh, okay, look, just don’t wander around too much, okay?” the Ratacate shrugs bashfully, looking like his brain is hurting. “We good?”

    “Acknowledged,” you nod in confirmation, keeping a straight face.

    He steps aside, looking a bit humiliated, and you walk in through the large metal doorway.

    Inside, the palace is fairly nice, though it still feels more like a hotel than a traditional royal palace. The rooms and décor are kept nice and clean, though you can still feel it’s more geared toward functionality than trying to look ornate and fanciful. Considering the state the city is in, regal appearance isn’t the top priority here.

    You carefully and quietly search around the lobby and the other rooms that still make the building feel more like a hotel. What used to be a fancy posh restaurant is now a royal dining hall while a former conference lounge is now the throne room. Quite a few other rooms underwent conversions, but you still feel more like you’re checking in for a vacation than here to speak with nobility.

    In one of the gathering halls, you find what looks to be a very-thoroughly used Aurorawatch officer’s sword leaning on a white side wall. It seems like the room’s been empty for quite a while and no one has come back to claim this weapon, so you figure why not just take it along? It may be used but it definitely looks like it still has some fight left in it.

    [|AW| Worn Officer’s Blade] (Adds 1d6 damage to successful attack rolls) was added to Nico’s Pack.

    You then continue looking around to see if there’s anything else that might be worth looking into. Eventually you come across one of the supply areas used for storing equipment, armor, MREs, and other military supplies. One of the more unusual items you find looks to be some kind of glass-like vessel, and when you get closer to take a better look, it seems to be a kind of crystal with an active fire in it.

    It definitely doesn’t appear to be from this world, and the comforting glow of the white flame resonates feelings of Utopia with you. You decide to take it with you, imagining Aurorawatch has no idea what this is or what to do with it while Syrax the Espeon likely knows way more about it and will actually be able to use it for what it was intended for…

    [[Divinefire Crystal] was added to the Team Inventory.

    After searching the remaining rooms, you decide to head out, although this time, rather than deal with the guards again, you use a one-way door that heads out the back of the building. You manage to sneak through the dark shadows just enough to where you’re able to head back out into the night streets and no one suspects a thing.

    You decide to head out tonight to see what the Freshtastic Supermarket and Farms has in store. Even though it’s closed and there’s no chance of you being able to buy any fruit to have as a midnight snack tonight, you still decide to see if there’s anything laying about that might shed light on things around town.

    After walking your way downtown, you find that the silence and stillness in the air is a bit unnerving. You don’t even feel a single gust of wind blowing on your grassy back or across the petals of your Gracidea flowers. There are many shadows all surrounding you and you don’t know what may be lurking within them. However, thankfully, the supermarket is still within the safest zone in the city. But while you know ghouls and chimeras may not be the problem here, you already know it hasn’t deterred the Stalkers from doing their dirty work on these streets.

    Once you arrive at the large white building, you’re astounded at how huge the building is. Most of it is in pretty good condition, though there are some worrisome cracks to be found on the northern side of the building. As you decide to search the exterior first, the sun starts to creep behind the horizon and the starts and two moons start to appear. Most of what you find are discarded boxes, metal cans, crates, and the like, though you find a discarded roll of socha coins that looks like it must have gotten misplaced and ended up in the trash when it should be in a register. You break open the roll of coins and add them to your Pack.

    $60 Sochas$ were added to Noble’s Pack.

    After searching around the outside, you decide to head inside just as the darkness of night covers the area. You sneak in through a small hole in the northern side of the building, likely caused by a little earthquake damage. It’s nothing severe, but it does give you just enough space to squeeze your grassy hedgehog body in.

    The lighting inside is fairly dim and relies on security lighting only, but you’re still able to see most of what’s going on.

    Inside, you immediately notice that the large supermarket has been separated into two main areas. The first half is the store portion where Pokémon are able to buy a wide variety of foods while the second half is entirely for growing produce and other crops that can withstand the indoors. While the grocery store portion looks pretty clean with the vinyl tiles, the “farm” area tends to be a lot dirtier with all the soil and planters being used and moved on a daily basis.

    You start by searching over the “farm” area, where it seems like a lot of the crop stations are mechanically automated with timed watering mechanisms to take a lot of the hard hand-work out of the equation. Meanwhile, other equipment devices monitor the soil, air, and light quality and some devices serve as timing devices that indicate when the produce is due to be harvested. It seems like a lot of the guesswork was taken out as you look upon the many garden stations of peppers, fruits, berries, nuts, grains, and many other produce-bearing plants.

    You then decide to investigate the grocery store portion of the building, which seems like it carries most of the main essentials and far less “junk” food like candies, snacks, desserts, and other items that wouldn’t provide much nutritional value to Pokémon. You can see that freed up a lot more store area for garden crop stations.

    While most of these items for sale consist of regular food items that you already have access to, there are a few for sale like berries and seeds that have good utility uses. You take note of them in case you want to come back to buy some.

    Store Freshtastic Supermarket and Farms has been noted in the Exacta City Marketplaces

    After exploring the grocery store section, you head back to the loading and supply area, which seems like it used to be bustling with much more activity, but has become a bit more quiet as of late. Areas that used to see shipping vehicles coming and going haven’t been used for a while. There is a back office area that Pashin uses a bit, but most of it looks like it has become dusty with neglect. Meanwhile, you get the feeling Pashin isn’t too organized considering ledgers, accounting books, and other records are scattered all over the place and don’t look like they’ve been well-taken care of.

    As you search around, you find what appears to be a pretty sizable box-cutter shiv that looks like its been sitting here for a while, unused simply because of the lack of box tape that needs to be cut. Still, you look it over and feel it wouldn’t be bad to keep it just in case you need a quick and easy self-defense measure.

    Noble has equipped the [|AW| Razor-sharp Shiv (Adds 1d4 damage to successful attack rolls)

    You make one last sweep around the loading dock, but you don’t find too much else besides neglected containers and empty storage cabinets. You decide to head back to base to get some good night’s sleep before preparing for tomorrow morning.
