Role call.

Just checking to make sure everyone is still in.

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

"Taking on the whole Empire? That might be a bit beyond what you can do by yourself, even for a well-made droid. Although, honestly, you might not have to wait too long for them to die on their own."

"I do not seek to bring down the entire Empire." The droid responded as his visual sensors turned from red to blue. "There are five remaining individuals who's deaths will allow what remains of us to avenge the StarBlades. A small hologram appeared in front of the Togruta. "We are looking for an experienced individual who can hack into the Imperial Data Net to identify these individuals. Zirex has attempted to on a number of occasions but he has been unsuccessful." The holographic image of a Stormtrooper wearing red armor with a black targeting visor appeared, followed by a woman with curly black hair wearing an officer's uniform. The third image was that of a massive humanoid covered entirely in what looked like Mandalorian armor that was red and black. The fourth image was of a man with scars all over his face wearing the uniform of an Imperial general and the final image was of another woman with a massive blaster rifle strapped to her back. Most of her face was covered by some sort of mask.

"These individuals were either part of the attack on the StarBlades or we assume they took part in ordering the attack. Holographic images recovered from our base show these targets present during the attack or going through our databanks once the base was abandoned. Zirex was able to recover the images but that was all."

Did you hear what happened a while back? Pretty sure the news coming through the holonet is reliable enough. Only a few weeks after they lost their Emperor, and the Empire razed their own planet to the ground. Vardos, one of their big loyalist worlds? They wrecked it. The propaganda says it's supposed to send a 'message', but the only message I'm getting is that they're idiots."

"The Empire is made up mostly of fools." The droid agreed as he deactivated the holograms. "However, their actions have concerned me. If they were willing to destroy one of their own worlds, it makes me wonder what world will be next? Where will they strike next?"

I will be back sometime tomorrow.

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils

"Pardon me."

Daniel barely paid the person who had bumped into her any notice. Instead she was focused on what Cail was telling her about the Shadow Pokemon incidents. "- Still don't know exactly how they created their Shadow Pokemon but the things were vicious, they would attack other Pokemon, trainers, sometimes when their emotions got screwed up enough, they would injure themselves. One of their bosses set up shop here in Pyrite at one point and managed to take the town from Duking. But we had help in driving them out. The one that was here was called Miror. B. He looked like a clown but his battling was all business. Last time we saw him was during the second shadow Pokemon incident but by then he was out of Cipher."

Daniel shook her head. Cipher sounded like they were almost as bad as Team Rocket. "Who helped you drive Miror. B out of town?" Cail grinned at the question. "One of the toughest trainers I've ever met. He used to be a member of a minor gang here on Orre, but he turned on them and managed to save all the shadow Pokemon during Cipher's first attack. We haven't seen him in years, but they still talk about him and the girl that traveled with him who could see which Pokemon were shadow Pokemon."

Cail stopped and motioned at the door to the building she had seen earlier. "Let me introduce you to the man in charge." Cail rapped on the door for a moment before it opened. Sitting at a desk was one of the biggest men Daniel had ever seen. "Yo, Duking, this girl says she has info on those idiots in the black suits that are brawling with Cipher." Cail said as he sat down in a chair. Duking motioned for Daniel to have a seat and for her to close the door, after closing the door, Daniel sat down directly in front of Duking. "Sir, I-," Duking interrupted her. "You can just call me Duking, no sir required." He said with a large smile. "So, Cail said you had information on the people in the black suits."

Daniel took a deep breath and began to speak.

Duel Square

"What do you mean I owe you?!" The bodybuilder in front of him sounded outraged. Shawn simply smiled as he leaned against a building with a lazy smile. "Last two times we battled, I won. I didn't take any cash from you or anything. I figured you've been traveling around, maybe you heard something about Cipher."

"Shhhhh!" The bodybuilder hissed in panic. "Don't even say that name. You never know if they have eyes around here. Listen, the only thing I heard was from a couple weeks back. Some of those guys in black were battling with some goons from Cipher near one of the entrances to the Under."

Shawn simply stared at him for a moment. "I think your lying. The entrances to the Under have been sealed off for years. No one is getting in there." The bodybuilder shook his head. "You're wrong. I've seen people coming out from the entrance on a few occasions. I don't bother them and they don't bother me, if you have any common sense you'll stay away from the Under."

"Hmm, sensor looks like it might be Imperial. Arakyd Industries seeker droid, maybe? Oh, that would be sensitive. That wiring might be Industrial Automaton, which makes sense, actually. It can regulate power spikes better than pretty much anything. Those servos seem heavy duty, but...that makes sense with all that armor, yeah. These joints have built-in locking mechanisms; good for lifting, or controlling recoil..."

ZD-6R couldn't help but be impressed by the woman's knowledge. She was very well versed. "The Hutt hired the best to create me. They did too well of a job however. When I was brought online, they disabled everything but my CPU. From what I understand, they wished for me to download all of my combat protocols and be ready for combat the moment they had everything installed. But I saw how the Hutt treated others. I still am not sure how I was able to differentiate between Good and Bad, but I am grateful that I was able to. It allowed me to find the closest thing to a real family."

The droid's optical sensors then flashed. "But the Empire took nearly all of my family. I fought them before to try and leave my mark on the galaxy but they took the StarBlades from me. That was a mistake on their part. We will avenge our comrades."

Ah, I see. Haven't done much Pokemon-related since then, it's good to settle back in.

Glad to know I could inspire you to keep Orre alive! Hopefully I won't end up having to back away from this one.

I'll get to writing up a character. One last question; Is grunt the highest status allowed on the teams?

@Raddum

I'm going to say Grunt is the lowest rank to start with.

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils

<Snipped quote by Chev>

A few, friend. I noticed a few characters seem to be Team Rocket Grunts. Does this mean Cipher is also open for characters?

That opens up some possibilities...

@Raddum

Cipher characters are up for grabs as well. :) Just an FYI, when I was coming up with this Rp I actually was reading through the Colosseum Rp you did back in the day: "In the Shadow of a Rainbow." Got some inspiration from that one which caused me to start this one xD

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils

@Chev

Been a long time. Like, over 3 years, right?

And the Orre support is still going strong!

Dunno if it's too late, but if not, mind if I jump in here?

@Raddum

Didn't expect to see you again, Raddum! You are more than welcome to jump in xD Got a character in mind?

Star Wars - Lawless Galaxy

"So this is your droid, I'm guessing?"

Strakisssh shook his head as he grabbed Zirex and threw him over his shoulder. "ZD is his own droid. He's not our property, He joined of his own accord," the Trandoshan smiled the most polite smile he could considering how many sharp teeth he had. "Thank you. I'll see if I can find a room for him" He turned to look at ZD-6R. "Hopefully we can head to Nar Shaddaa in a few hours, until then feel free to do what you wish."

"And your parts...I'm guessing whoever put you together tried to combine the advantages of several different manufacturers?"

"Correct." ZD responded. "I was created on Nal Hutta by a minor Hutt who intended to use me against his rivals but many of the upgrades that you noticed were added somewhat recently during my time with a mercenary group. Although the Hutt created me as a tool against his rivals, I wished to leave my own mark on the galaxy so I left."

Strakisssh had gotten directions from one of the many droids and was in the process of heading down to the hotel levels when he passed a man heading into the room. Something about the man put Strakisssh on his guard but he smiled politely at the man as he passed him. "I don't feel good..." Zirex muttered as Strakisssh carried him towards the lift. The Trandoshan rolled his eyes. "Next time you should stick with something that won't nearly knock you out." The only answer from Zirex was a grunt of pain.

Pokemon Colosseum: Lesser of Two Evils
