Rocket HQ: You're Kidding Me...Right?

[Candescence]

She calmed herself down, and spoke up. "I apologize for my attitude, Ariana, but I was being cautious, in case Shin were to pull out any unexpected... Surprises. I'm the type to be prepared for any eventuality, you know."

She shrugged. "As for the bargaining chip idea... It was simply something I came up with at the top of my head. If Shin and/or his family becomes... Uncooperative, in any case, we could use the Crown on Shin in order to extract what we want from them. Of course, that depends on if his family actually care about his well-being..."

"Oh please... I suspect the Crown only works on people with minds!" She snapped. "Looking at that psychotic brat, I hardly doubt he has a mind left!"

Suddenly, if she would have a cell, it would ring.

@ariana@

"Excuse me..." She said, switching the phone on and holding it up to her ear without even checking. "Hello?"

[AnT]

@archer@ "Three seconds. One second past your record. You're getting sloppy."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

"Ooooooooooooooooh... hello, Archer..." She said, smiling... signaling Domino to have Sird keep her mouth shut...

[AnT]

@archer@ "I called just to inform you that we set up some interesting experiments with Shadow energy...using it as a tool for mind control."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

"R-Really...?" She asked, blinking. "Please elaborate..."

[AnT]

@archer@ "Based on our studies of Red's condition, we discovered by blocking some of a person's emotion can make it easy for us to control."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

"Ahuh..." She nodded, waiting for him to continue.

[AnT]

"For example, say a person was beyond incompetent, and moronic...like a certain trio, which will remain nameless. Using the machine, blocking some of their emotion that helps with their...intelligence problem would make them competent."

@ariana@

"In other words... quick succession..." She said.

[AnT]

@archer@ "Precisely."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

"But, on those three, they're weak..." She said. "What happens if we try and use it on someone strong?"

[AnT]

@archer@ "Sadly, the device is only on its testing stage, using components that won't be able to handle such energy. It'll only work on the weak minded. We can't be picky, Ariana. We do need more workers."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

She nodded. They have too choose carefully and hopefully, it won't be those three. "Do you have any targets in mind?"

[AnT]

@archer@ "Something you are not going to like, but it could draw Red to where we want...if Sird finished on what she plan on controlling our dear friend. Simply we draw him using those he hates, other than our glorious leader."

[Ninetalesuk]

"You mean... the past...?" She groaned. Everytime she says something about those three, Archer would get hard and tell her harsly it's in the past...

[AnT]

@archer@ "Yes....the past." Even he didn't like it, by the sound of his hard voice. Even though those three were only good as distractions, they cost them a lot of money and resources for their stupid mechs. "But fear not. With this machine, it'll make 'the past' into more fashionable Team Rocket members."

[Ninetalesuk]

@ariana@

"Well, we're going to have to locate those idiots first..." She said. "As for the Crown... Sird and Kurata has finally finished one."
