What do you plan to do, specifically?

Nevertheless, he takes a step back.

You'll see...

(chucks the Poké Ball into the air, which opens and sends out in a flash of bluish-white light... a Shark Dragon)

(for reference, a Garchomp)

Lady Macbeth?

(Hoshi asks, taking a biiiiiiiig step back himself, to the edge of the clearing)

There's something that's most likely hiding underground. Think you could Earthquake it out?

(the Garchomp nods)

(before giving a ROAR and PUNCHING the ground of the clearing... which begins to tremble and quake)

(To Hoshi)

Scheisse! (Quickly steps back as the ground is probably opening up now)

!

He jumps back so that he's out of range of the quaking ground. Then he looks the point of impact.

(don't worry, Michael - only the ground of the now-empty clearing is opening up, cracks forming throughout it)

(seems that Lady's got a fair level of control over just what she splits into fissures with this attack... which is a very good thing, considering how said fissures are now exploding)

(this lasts for a solid few seconds, before Lady Macbeth pulls her claw back, causing the explosions and quaking to cease)

(the clearing now looks extremely ravaged, but...)

...Nothing?

(speaks up Hoshi, more disappointed than anything else)

(smirks) Well, that's what happens when you've got a Trainer like me...

(gives a low growl, though not out of menace as much as it is pride)

Hey, that was good, Lady. You're as sharp as ever!

(Lady Macbeth gives a toothy grin as Hoshi recalls her back into her Poké Ball)

(Hoshi looks back out at the shattered clearing, his smirk fading, noting that the few surviving corn plants aren't shapeshifting back into a machine or anything)

All things aside, though... guess there really was nothing. Man...

(To Link)

Apparently, they have a tendency to self-destruct and Hoshi had a friend look over one of their heads that he managed to recover.

(To Hoshi)

...Speaking of which, did they find anything?

Yeah, what Michael said. They usually blow up.

And, er... she's making headway with the decryption. Ish. She's ID'd a few codewords but doesn't know what they are yet... at least, that's what I think the whole cryptography thing she's doing is about.

I mean, obviously they do. The first one I encountered spouted something about his maker... I can't remember what.

That's where this decryption comes in, but while that's going on...

(looks back at the cracked clearing)

...I just wanna keep an eye out, y'know?

What do they look like, generally? Just in case I see one.

Hmm... If you want, I can have Julieta scan for them by using her Reginlaze.

It has a multi-function sensor suite built into it, so it oughta pick them up easily enough.

...Big. Armed to the teeth with lead. Painted a bunch of different colors... well, actually, mostly black.

(Michael) Er - sure, if you don't mind. Right now, they've just been finding me instead of the other way around, so... that could help locate where they're coming from?

He nods.

I probably won't engage, then, but I'll let you know if I see one.

Well, that would be the idea, yes.

If anything, it'll allow us to stop them before they harm anyone else in the house.

Sure, just... be really careful that they don't engage you. Unless, like, that sword can shoot beams or somethin'...

(nods to Michael) Thanks. That... that'll help a lot, really. Just so I don't have to go around runnin' n stuff...

It can do a lot — it can't do that.

He shrugs.

My name is Link. Ramona already told me your name while you were flying overhead.

(To Hoshi)

Pragmatism is a good way to deal with your enemies, I find.

(To Link)

Speaking of, Link, uh, I haven't seen you awhile. How have you been?

Not many things. I hadn't been back that long.

(To Hoshi)

I won't go that far. One thing that's been drilled into me by my father and the Academy is to engage military targets only and not harm civilians. I'll go as far as taking steps to neutralise their defenses, but after that, I could ask them to surrender and dismantle their machines safely.

(To Link)

Really? Well, it's good to have you back. There've been some... developments.
