[ The feed turns on to see a little, small room. There's a candle lit, and a girl's face complexly looking into the feed. A Sunkern in her hand chirps. It's obvious whoever is operating this thing doesn't really have much of an idea on good angles, or how to actually use the video camera. She turns the PCD to the ceiling, where a Woobat and a Shiny Zubat are both sleeping. It then turns again to see an Ekans wrapping itself tight around a sleeping Torchic before it turns back to Momo.

Once she has the feed pointing back at her, Momo blinks twice before beginning. ]

Is this... Is this on? Hello guys! Hmm, let's see! I'm Momo Hinamori! I've been mostly just trying to adjust and learn how to get settled in so I wouldn't ask any questions you guys probably heard a hundred times before! So, now, that I'm settled in, I kinda have a question. It's about Team Rocket...

[ She pauses. ]

They're charitable freelance dentists, right? [ ...Yeah. Leave it to Momo to be so off subject... ]

And, uh, have any of you ever got people from home come here but they're like younger than what they used to be? One of my close friends arrived here, except he was from a time where we were both in school. And then one of my friends showed up here as a little kid and then they both went home really quickly. Why do people show up here and just leave anyways?!

Also! If someone sees Princess Gorgeous - I think that's her name - please let me know I'm looking for her! She looks a lot like Hayate, except she's an impostor. [ She's very timid with this whole network thing. How many things does she talk about? When is it appropriate to end? ]

Ahh! Sorry for all of the questions, I guess I just have a lot on my mind! I'll talk to you guys all later! Thank you for listening! [ She kinda lingers on the feed for half a minute before realizing she needs to turn it off. So she'll fumble around with her pokegear until it actually turns off. ]

You aren't going to report me, are you?! [ He did say avoid at all costs, but maybe it's because he doesn't want her knowing all of their diabolical schemes! ]

I'm not. [Have a reassuring smile.] I'm not one of the Rockets who's obsesses about loyalty and such.

Of course I hope that you won't tell anyone that I just said that.

Okay, thank you! I don't think I'll be one of those either, now that they're evil. I stand up only for good things! So your secret is safe with me! [ A reassuring smile is returned. ]

That is reassuring to hear. There are some members that are insanely obsessed with the team and would be really upset on finding out there are people who don't share their opinion.

[At least Ren hasn't dared to try and let them know.]

I'm Ren Jinguji, by the way. If you have any troubles, feel free to contact me. I've been here for quite some time, after all.

Well, I guess I'm not one of those people if I didn't even know what the team really did in the first place.

[ ....Ah... how discouraging for her. ]

I'm Momo Hinamori! Lieutenant of Squad Five, back home. [ SO IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING... ] I'll be sure to ask you questions in case I get stuck, like, ummm, this one! Have you ever actually met the people that put us on Team Rocket?

I can't say I have. I have met a few higher ranking officers, but they're all in the same situation as us.

High ranking officers? [ Momo's immediately intrigued. Maybe she can have conversations with them about mundane things and then work her way up. ]

Know their names? I'll keep an eye out for them!

There's at least three I know of.

Men named Kimblee and Archer both hold the rank of Beta. [Then he hesitates... cause really, it's hard to believe the next one.] And I think Cobra Commander was at least a bit higher than us normal ones.

Okay, so I approach Kimblee and Archer and then Commander Cobra...? [ That doesn't sound too good. Especially with the dramatic pause right before it! ] Why did you just pause before you said his name? Is he really that scary? [ She just has... the completely wrong idea. ]

[He shakes his head.]

No, he's just ... an idiot. A high ranking idiot. [Someone that they needed to respect anyway.] Be careful while talking to any of them. It would do no good if they get suspicious.

How did he get to such a high rank if he's not particularly bright? [ She's not getting it. ] Y-yeah, I know! It'd be hard to do anything if they're really watching you, you know?

I guess he's evil enough.

[It's so easy being evil, after all.]

Yeah. It's hard enough to get anything out of them even when they're not.

[ Just ask Aizen! ]

I think being good is easier... It takes a lot of effort to go against such strong good people. [ Awww... look at her faith in people! ]

Yeah. If I can't get close to them, I can't get information. But if I get close to them, they'll start to suspect me. [ These dilemmas!!! ]

[Aizen is the best role model of all things evil.

Ren holds back a laugh. It was refreshing to see someone who believed in people, still. If only things would have been so easy.]

Information is really hard to get around here. Some people are stupid enough to blurt their plans to all grunts, but then there are those who keep things secret until things really happen. Cobra is generally an example of the first one and the other two I mentioned are surely the second.

[ Aizen is always the best role model for, like, everything. ]

So, I should go after Commander Cobra first and work my way up in his favor to talk to the other two! [ GREAT PLAN, BEST PLAN, NO CHANCES OF BEING SUCCESSFUL, etc. ]

[... if only it would be that simple.]

Well, he's the easiest to approach at least, as long as you show him respect.

I think I can manage that! I mean, as long as I don't blatantly disrespect him, will he assume that I'm showing him respect?

Something like that. You can always add things like "It's an honour to speak with you, sir" just to be sure.

All right! So I flatter them endlessly and then I become a regular, or something! [ A vague plan that is seriously a shot in the dark. ]

[Will she be alright? Ren's not sure.]

Be careful and good luck.

I will! Have a nice day, Ren! [ She waves with an earnest smile and will wait for a response before disconnecting the feed.

Good god, Ren, what have you unleashed upon the Rockets?! ]

The same to you, Hinamori-chan.

[He's completely innocent, really.]
