Turn 006 // Voice to Rockets/Action

[best_laid_plans]

[There's a rumbling sound behind this feed, and Malik's voice is shaky too - he's currently riding shotgun in a garbage truck, with his Muk and a couple of Grimers in the back doing the honors.

But regardless of the broadcast quality, he sounds pretty insistent.]

Johto garbage detail. Report in.

I want all the details as they occur. Any complications, contact me immediately.

We've got a schedule to keep, lest things get dirty.

[Petty. But effective.]

[[ooc: Sorry if I'm jumping the gun getting the plot started this morning - unexpected traveling came up this week, and I'm heading home today prettttty much as soon as I hit "post", but wanted to get Johto's garbage leader out there beforehand. Feel free to forward-date to after any official plot kickoff, if there's one. ^____^;;;]]

[THAT WAS THE WORST PUN EVER, MALIK]

Good luck. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that this mission is quite important.

[...If he doesn't get a promotion after all the work he's been doing for Team Rocket due to someone else's screw-up...]

[VOICE]

[best_laid_plans]

[I BELIEVE YOU MEAN THE /BEST/ PUN, SIR]

Bit redundant to do so anyway then, correct...?

[But he'll nip his irritation in the bud. You're a useful ally.]

You're coordinating the other stage of the plan, if recollection serves.

[VOICE] - LOCKED pretend I didn't forget this

[determinator]

Yes, I am. Hughes is in charge of Kanto's operations.

[He won't say anything else about that, but he's not exactly thrilled about working with Hughes. Or having Hughes in charge of anything. Ugh. Worst boss.]

I assume everything is running smoothly so far?

[VOICE] - LOCKED i saw nothing

[best_laid_plans]

Clockwork. I wouldn't be surprised if we finished ahead of schedule.

[And now that he's said that, he'll have to be an even bigger nag to make that happen.]

Do you have preferences regarding where you'll be planting these discs? If we coordinate, we can ensure the best possible results.

Somewhere no one will disturb them, I presume....

[Whatever they're for.]

[VOICE] - LOCKED

[determinator]

Excellent. No, I don't have any preferences, though those working under me really shouldn't have any issues figuring out what to do with the discs. They're bright enough.

[Well... "Caroline" seems to be, at any rate.]

Still, I'll ensure they're very clear on what needs to be done before they attempt anything. We don't need anyone getting caught.

[VOICE] - LOCKED

[best_laid_plans]

Good to hear. We'll be - subtle about the locations, but as you say, nothing your team can't determine for themselves.

[And if he knew more about Johto he'd be specifying locations to each truck driver privately. But as he's only been a handful of places, alas, he'll have to defer to those who live in these cities.]

[VOICE] - LOCKED

[determinator]

[Archer is the same way; thankfully those he's in charge of are in areas he knows.]

Of course. There's no reason to micromanage them - they won't appreciate it, and the last thing we need is a disagreement now.

[VOICE] - LOCKED

[best_laid_plans]

[Micromanage? Perish the thought, indeed. He just makes sure everything is done properly, exactly the way he wants it. And he always picks the most logical plan of attack. That's all.]

Of course not.

I'll keep you informed regarding our progress.

[It's reassuring the other team members aren't all idiots. And yet it's frustrating: they're also competition.]
