After a moment, the man (not "the man") frowns and puts back his phone.
???: Darn, can't get to him... I suppose it won't hurt if I give the first one to you myself, and just tell him I did once he's back from whatever.
Diane: Really? Sweet!
???: Yeah. Just-

Diane enters the module
Eskay: Hey. Where've you been?
Diane: Well, I'm off to go start the tests to join this place. The first one is in Hoenn, so... I guess I'll get headed over there now.
Eskay: Oh, all right. Well, I guess... we'll see you whenever.
Diane nods, then sets off to the hangar they arrived at. She puts on her armband, then flies off in the direction they came from, making a mental note to get a flight to Hoenn once she gets back in Johto.

Eclipse the Moon
Efrafa
The sweep at the foot of Mt. Moon was covered in a wild and dark rain on this very day. During these seldom dangerous days, Woundwort takes it up on himself to personally train the new recruits about fighting in unruly weather. Leaving the slightly jumpy but ferocious, loyal and savage Toadflax in charge of the warren for the time being.
For Laurel, it couldn't have been a better time for an escape.
At Siflay, when Woundwort was taking the kits away from the rest of the warren, Laurel slipped off to talk to Skree. He told Skree that it was today in which he will make his escape with the 11 does and Blackavar and told him that the others should be ready to run over the mountain pass. The Fearow understood this, and flew back to the party waiting at the clifface of Mt Moon. After Siflay, he rounded up all the does and told them that it was today was the day they will escape. The does nodded, and ran to their positions in the warren.
Now all he had to do was get Blackavar, and then they'll run for it.
He calmly walked out to the ditch, the mouth to Woundwort's dwelling and the place where Blackavar was being kept prisoner. He was currently beind guarded by a soul known as Thistle, a young and energetic buck but not excatly the strongest of the young scouts. Laurel approached Thistle and told him calmly:
Laurel: <I was asked on the orders of Toadflax that I am to watch over the prisoner now>
Thistle: <May I ask permission why? My round is not up yet.>
Laurel: <Look over and you'll see.>
Thistle turned to the opening of the warren, where he witnessed Nildro-Hain and her 10 partners in crime dash out of the entrance. Before he could raise an alarm or persue the does, Laurel tackled him into Woundwort's warren and bit down on his leg. Effectivly rendering him useless for persuit.
Laurel: <Blackavar! Run! Meet up with Nildro-Hain and her friends! You wanted to be free! Here's your chance!>
Blackavar stared in shock at Thistle for a moment, before dashing off in the direction Nidro-hain went. Laurel smacked Thistle once more, rendering him unconcious before following Blackavar and eventually, joining up with Nildro-Hain's party.
So far, going smoothly. Yet, Laurel knew it was only time until the General himself persued him.

We made it to West Tek Research Facility after 20 days of hell. But that was the easy part. The radiation levels began to shoot up as soon as we could see the giant crater. We checked our supplies and figured with our armor and our anti-rad supplies we'd be fine for at least a day of exploring. We felt it was a calculated risk, but the technology we had the potential of recovering was worth it.
We climbed down the crater to the first level and everything seemed to be according to plan. The power was off, so we didn't need to circumvent the security. Or so we thought. There wasn't much of value on this level, so we pushed on.
The second level was more of the same.
When Jensen dropped to the third level, all hell broke loose. The security sensors had been burned out on the first two levels, but not on the third. Jensen was cut to ribbons before he knew what had happened. We'd never seen mons or weapons cut through power armor like that. Men started dropping right and left, and the ones who were still alive lost it. I tried to regroup, but only Soto and Camarillo made it back up here to the first level with me.
The fact that I can smell Soto's burning flesh where his arm was taken off means that my power armor is no longer air tight, so I'm sucking up a lot more rads than I had planned on. I'm leaking hydraulics at an alarming rate. We need to get far enough away from this place before my armor dies.
Camarillo seemed fine physically, but he wandered off about an hour ago, mumbling something about Gehenna. That bastard has all the anti-rad.
That leaves Soto and myself. We can't make it far enough away from here without the anti-rads, so I've got to try to find Camarillo before it's too late.

Geez... this sure is a long flight... It's not exactly the most exciting thing I've ever done... It would be much better if they were here... if Eskay were here...
No, Diane, stop thinking about that. He's already taken.If you're going to think about relationship stuff, think about helping Skye find love...
...Hmm... She's not having much luck with boys... it... kind of makes me wonder if... she likes girls? ...Nah, don't kid yourself... She definitely likes boys... but maybe... she goes both ways?
Well, at least that possibility opens her up to more. Now she can't really miss any chances!
...I'll have plenty of time to help you look for someone, Skye. Just as soon as I finish with these tests.
...Geez, I sound like that Umbreon we met a few months ago...

Eclipse the Moon
Efrafa
Laurel was running. Running for the does, running for Blackavar, running for his own life. He knew that time was precious and that, for highest chance of survival, they needed to run fast.
After running for some time or so, the group of 13 met up with Speedwell in the long grass. At first they were afraid of Blackberry, wondering if he was one of the younger lackeys out on patrol. Laurel quickly reminded them that Blackberry and the other Nidos that they'll meet at the intervals are from his warren. Wasting no more time, they start running again.
They run for quite a while, meeting Sandelford nido after Sandelford nido. It was only around ni-Frith, that they made it too Hazel-rah and Skree at the cliff face. Hazel-rah was not slow in making his remark to the newcomers.
Hazel-rah: <My new friends! Your freedom is only a mountainside away! However, it is highly trechorous and lethal so heed my words closely! Skree, the Fearow here, knows a safe route over the mountain face. He will fly ahead outlining the safe path! None of you are to deviate from it! Alright?>
The Nidorinas and Blackavar nod. They didn't want to take any chances anyway.
Hazel-rah: <Skree! Show us the way!>
Skree: <Yah! Skree vill fly ovar mounatin! Show nido safe way! Follow Skree!>
Skree started flying over the mountainside, outlining the safe route across the cliff face. The Nidos alligned themselves as one Sandelford followed by one Efrafan, with Hazel at the front and Laurel at the back.
Just when Blackavar, the last Efrafan, started climbing. A thunderous roar was heard not far away.
Woundwort: <LAUREL!!>
Laurel knew that facing the General was inevitable, but hopefully, he'll gain the higher ground before doing so.
