Susan:
You wake up early, dress sharp, and hit the streets with your new contacts. They slip you through a hidden tunnel under the border and into a wealthy neighborhood in NPO territory.
The entirety of the morning is spent going door to door, peddling Cubchoo, but Alas you are able to find no buyers. Your contacts tell you its no big deal and invite you to try again whenever. Roll After Mods = 6
Returning to HQ you track down El Caimán, and request to do some science. With a smirk he gets on the intercom and several minutes later Gerald is dragged into the lab, strapped to a table and heavily sedated.
First you take some simple tissue samples to help Dr. Gonzalez re-create his basic theory on mutation. The researcher then encourges you to cut out the mutant's voice box as Gerald is able to use the move screech, and that might be useful to help set up a basic sonic scanning system.
You follow directions and cut the voicebox out carefully, before spending 30 minutes prodding it with various devices as Dr. Gonzalez furiously enters your data into the computer.
After sewing the voicebox back in properly you then repeat the process with the rest of Gerald's non-vital organs, just to be thorough. As he works to input your data Dr. Gonzalez notes that he is starting understand the benifits of Joltik's small size, and might be able to apply said data to other featherweight pokemon with enough research.
Sadly Gerald doesn't wake up when the sedative wears off. Dr. Gonzalez takes a good long look at him before speaking. "la pérdida de sangre! The fucking mutant died of blood loss! You must have forgotten to restrict an artery or failed to make a clean cut somewhere. Ah well. No big loss. I'll throw him in the freezer with the rest of the stiffs, and bring one out for you to work with."

Prime Number: Subject Dies
Progress toward Basic Mutation Theory made!
Progress toward Modern Scanners made!
Progress toward Non-Lethal Weapons made!
Underdog Theory made available for research!
The recently deceased is brought to the freezer, and the weezing corpse is dragged out for you to work with. You place the new corpse on the table and get to work. You carefully remove, pick apart, and catolouge each organ, but find nothing inspiration worthy about the corpse. Furthermore you do too much damage to the poison pokemon for it to be of use for future disections!

Niko:
Hitting the city in search of evolution stones, you wisely think to ask a patrolling PCNA soldier for advice.
"Some of the factories that are being built in Tropical Sands give away valuable minerals such as Nuggets or Type Gems as payment. The local currency is inflated, and a good portion of the local population don't trust the international Pokeyen as currency.
I know of one company, Life-Snuffer, that pays in Fire Stones. They make pesticides, so hold your breath when you visit. Here, lemee give you the address."
The Life-Snuffer factory is a good 45 minute walk from headquarters. You arrive and catch some workers taking a smoke break up front. Chatting them up you meet a few workers who are willing to trade in their paystones for cash or other considerations. You note the average going price and return to HQ. Roll After Mod = 17. See 'Assets' Post on the first page (once updated) for details.
Your return trip to headquarters is a brief one: You grab lunch and a pistol before heading back out to explore the swamps.
The swamps are quiet today. You eventually spot a few Croagunk, but they keep their distance and flee when you attempt to aproach them. You wander for a few hours before returning with nothing more than a fresh layer of mud on your boots. Roll After Mod = 11
Sami:
You order Tiny dragged to an interrogation room. After a few initial issues establishing eye contact (solved by stacking some books on Gerald's chair so the tiny man can see over the table) the interrogation in earnest.
The mutant denies any connection with the Kings, but he has a rather bad habit of referring to the group as 'we' or 'us'. He is very evasive when it comes to sharing useful information, but you do overhear him mutter something along the lines of '...That spy Chekhov' under his breath when the topic turns to how the PCNA was able to bring him in.
By the end of the session you have yet to get anything valuable from him, but are left with the conclusion that Tiny will not be a tough nut to crack in the long run. Any hopes of future interrogation however are dashed when you learn latter that Tiny was killed in a lab accident. Roll After Mod = 11
You have a discussion with Faust over lunch about obtaining PCNA uniforms for use on missions.
"I think you look fine in WPSF Blue! I'm pretty sure its also a war crime to misrepresent your faction... but then again its not like there is any court left that would prosecute such things. I'm sure if you are able to complete a mission on the behalf of the PCNA I would have no problem talking them into letting you wear their uniforms."
Faust offer a slight smile. "Of course with that lead you got us the other day, I could see you all in KotS colors as well. I'm not saying it would be easy, or even the best idea, but they are such a headless organization. It *might* be possible to use them for our own purposes."
You spend the rest of the lunch break talking about procedural stuff and trying not to look too deeply into Faust's interest in what you wear.
Sami + Niko
The pair of meet up after dinner and decide to partake in a quick training battle, which takes place out on the docks just outside of HQ.
The match starts off with Vanadia facing off against Milli, and it quickly becomes apparent that the Eevee has little chance of hurting it's steel type foe. Vanadia absorbs a tackle with minimum damage before returning fire with a mud slap attack. The Eevee, blinded by the mud in it's eye, misses the followup attack and is swiftly finished off with a headbutt from the Aaron.
Round two features Haline and Seivette. Seivette attempts to start off strong with a hidden power, but the male Eevee is able to leap over the pulse of energy to avoid it. Haline lands perfectly and charges in to perform a tackle attack, but the Abra uses protect to block. Undeterred Haline follows up with a sand attack, which Seivette avoids by using teleport... right off the pier and into the water with a splash.
The Abra is rescued from her impromptu swimming lesson by it's Pokeball, and both trainers return to HQ, content with the efforts of their Pokemon. +4 Levels to distribute as each of you see fit!
