Rocket Missions V.2

[indigo_league]

Welcome, valued Team Rocket member! Pursuing a career in the greatest organization of all time, eh? Well, you're in the right place!

This is the hub where you will find information on all team Missions. As stated in the Code of Conduct, all Rocket agents must be available to accept at least one mission at all times. They won't all be glamorous or exciting, but even mopping floors in one of the bases can lead to greater things! Team Rocket offers work in a variety of fields, with the primary openings being in four specific categories: maintenance, field work, science, and of course, the goal of most aspiring agents, leadership.

Maintenance: Brand new agents will likely be handed these jobs before anything else, as they're the easiest and least likely to result in police attention if you screw them up! They can include things like janitorial and laundry work in the bases, or serving fellow agents in the cafeteria.

Field Work: The most common missions take place in the field! Theft (whether it's as small as shoplifting some Potions or as big as participating in a full-scale heist) falls into this category, as does the simplest available mission, Pokemon acquisition. Anything you do to benefit the team outside of official Rocket premises can be considered field work!

Science: Science mission work mostly takes place out of the public eye, in official Rocket laboratories. The perfect field for more technically-minded agents, these jobs can include anything from pioneering new technology to experimentation on Pokemon themselves. Or it can be as dull as data entry. Grab a lab coat and see what you get!

Leadership: Getting sick of sharing those dorms? How does a private helicopter sound? Agents with lofty aspirations and a good work ethic may advance through the ranks and claim authority for themselves, earning swanky privileges, and more underlings to boss around than you can shake a stick at. This isn't to say that higher status doesn't come with its own responsibilities-- "Privates" and "Betas" are still expected to accomplish other missions (though usually not the maintenance ones-- that's grunt work), and even "Alphas" will usually work in the field. 'Leadership' jobs can even include tasks that just happen to require both specialized skills and a certain amount of trustworthiness to the Team. The main difference is tackling missions from an organizational, independent-thinking standpoint rather than just following orders-- YOU'RE the boss now!! Go put the fear of Arceus in some new recruits!

Rockets on Duty

NOTE: Team Rocket members who have not requested a specific mission (either listed or individual) will be considered on Pokemon-collecting duty and will not appear on this list.

CARLY NAGISA (Retired character)

STATION: Two Island

JOB: Intelligence Gathering, Base Establishment

NOTES: After successfully mapping the Whirl Islands, Team Rocket was more than happy to approve of Carly's requested reassignment to the Sevii Islands. After their first failed attempt at establishing a presence on the islands, Carly's reassignment will hopefully be laying the foundations for new Rocket base in this part of the region.

Vinegar Doppio (epitaffio)

STATION: In the field

JOB: Infiltration / information gathering.

NOTES:Though broadly speaking a group of enthusiastic nutjobs, the Legendary Seekers are still Johto and Kanto's prime hotspot for information on Legendary pokemon. Sure, 95% of it might just be blurry pictures and bull, but it is that 5% Team Rocket is after. Doppio has been assigned to infiltrate the group as a regular member and keep his ear to the ground regarding any rumours about Legendary Pokemon locations, sighting or items related to them. Of course, he will be expected to only report on actual viable leads, and not every blurry picture of someone's Ursaring walking through the forest.

Min-Gi Park (outofsynth)

STATION: Vermilion City

JOB: Squirtle Supervisor

NOTES: There are a very small gang of Squirtles in Vermilion City that Min-Gi's trained up to recruit for Team Rocket within the city and the surrounding routes. For the moment recruitment's all they're doing, but maybe one day there will be more to this. There might also be a minor rivalry between the criminally inclined Squirtles doing it for themselves, and the ones with ties to the Rockets.

REQUESTING A MISSION:

"Hard" missions will only be given upon demand, as they may come with specific instructions and usually require at least a "Beta" rank. On the other hand, "Regular" and "Easy" missions can be picked up anytime by any team members that meet the requirements, if there are any.

Individual, personalized missions (player-determined) can also be requested at any time, and may vary beyond just the 'official' locations above-- the listed missions are guidelines, not restrictions! Get creative-- you may find yourself rewarded handsomely!

Comment here to claim a mission by filling out the form below:

<textarea><big><img src="http://indigo-league.dreamwidth.org/file/101948.png" alt="" /> <u><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE (<user name="USERNAME">)</b></u></big> <dd><li><b>STATION:</b>Write your character's job location here. If they will be working while they are traveling, just write "In the field". <li><b>JOB:</b> List or describe your character's desired job(s). If you want them to be assigned a mission by us instead of choosing one yourself, say so here! <li><b>NOTES:</b> If there's any extra details you'd like us and/or the game at large to know about what your character is doing, include them here!</dd>


REQUESTING A REWARD:

Let no one say that working for Team Rocket is thankless-- those who prove themselves worthy may request all manner of exciting rewards!

Maybe they've been distinguishing themselves by taking charge and deserve to move upward in the ranks, or maybe they pulled off a heist so impressive that Auntie Apricorn wants to give them a rare item from the Rocket vault! The greater the achievements, the better the loot!

Team Rocket has access to many resources and can even, depending on the request, offer rewards that aren't available via other means...

Comment here to request a reward by filling out the form below:

<big><b>CHARACTER NAME HERE</b></big> <dd><li><b>CURRENT RANK:</b> List your character's current rank in Team Rocket. (All characters enter Team Rocket at the rank of "Grunt"). <li><b>REQUESTED REWARD:</b> Note the desired reward for your character's efforts (an item? a Pokemon? special privileges? a hearty clap on the back from Uncle Haban?). If the request is a change in rank, list the rank you'd like your character to upgrade to. <li><b>JUSTIFY THE REWARD:</b> Briefly describe what your character has been doing to earn the requested reward here. Ideally this should involve going above and beyond the basic grunt-work that's already expected of them. Have fun and get creative!</dd>

NOTE: The mods may deny a reward if it's unfeasible or if the character's accomplishments don't match the value of the reward (ie, spraypainting a totally sick burn on the side of the Cerulean City Police Department might get you some brownie points with the admins, but they're not gonna give you a shiny Pokemon for it.) If this happens, we will be happy to offer alternative rewards or suggestions of what it would take to earn the desired reward!

IMPULSE HEIST WRITE-UP slightly recycling tactics but ssshhhh

[fingersandteeth]

Steven Durante and Osomatsu Matsuno

CURRENT RANK: Steven is a Private. Osomatsu is a Grunt.

REQUESTED REWARD: Steven has no particular reward in mind, although cash is always nice and he kind of wants a shiny Pokemon someday. Oso’s also good with just getting cash! It’s his first heist. He doesn’t know what he wants. Honestly Steven wants admin goodwill most of all. He’s very much still interested in getting that promotion to Beta, although he’s not going to ask about it until after he does his big mine heist at the end of August.

JUSTIFY THE REWARD: So! After that little fuck-up with Sento walking in on his little mugging speedrun, Steven kind of feels like he ought to do something else for the Team, so he doesn’t end up in the admins’ bad books again, like what happened after we stole Fuzzles and had to return him a week later after the baseball heist.

(We still miss you, Fuzzles!)

Anyway. It occurs to Steven that if he got the new guy Osomatsu’s help, he could totally recycle the tactics that he and Jack used at Resort Gorgeous back in May on the hotel in Ecruteak that he and Jack stayed in when they were on the road to the Sevii Islands. Sure the overall loot quality might not be as good as it was at Resort Gorgeous, but on the other hand, there’ll be a lot more rooms to hit. Plus, it would be a good excuse for Osomatsu to pick up the warp for Ecruteak the better to visit Lydia’s establishment in the future. A little preliminary research and scouting things out is totally enough to figure out when the cleaners do their rounds and for Steven to steal the needed cleaning staff uniforms from the hotel laundry.

They wait until Osomatsu’s Abra, Thinkina, is hatched because Teleporting is very much a part of this plan. Then they’ll take a Saturday to fly up to Ecruteak on Steven’s Golurk, Iron Giant. It’s a long trip, so once they stop at the Pokecenter, they’ll head back to their ‘home base’ for this heist.

Now the ‘home base’ is going to be one of two places depending on if they can get Lydia’s permission to just crash at her place. If they can, well, they’ll be crashing on her couch/floor/whatever. If they don’t, they’ll erect a tent in the wilderness and camp for the night. Poor Osomatsu gets to hear Steven muttering to himself about having to sleep on the ground is the worst thing ever. He’s too old for this. In any case, their base will be where they teleport out from the next day when it’s time to do the mission. (If it’s a tent out in the wilderness, they’ll be leaving Steven’s Bewear, Care Bear, back to guard the tent.)

BUT FIRST time to get in disguise. Not only the cleaner’s uniforms, of course, but also make-up, wigs, and false (facial) hair too. Oh and padding. Definitely padding. The point of this is to not be identified as themselves by any security cameras or people accidentally walking in on some ‘cleaners.’

Anyway. Thus disguised, Steven uses his Xatu, Acatl, to chain teleport him up to the roof of the hotel in Ecruteak, having had Acatl feed Thinkina the coordinates via telepathy beforehand so she can follow right after. Like he did with Jack before, Steven and Osomatsu then proceed to use their cleaner disguise to sneak into various hotel rooms right after the real cleaners do their rounds, generally waiting until the real cleaners have finished with a floor to start breaking into those rooms.

Using Skeleton, Steven’s Klefki, to circumvent any mechanical locks and his newly caught Rotom (which he’ll probably be naming Ghost In The Machine) to open any electronic locks, they’ll then let themselves into the rooms while their inhabitants are out and quickly open the room safes, removing all valuables and leaving little business cards with the Team Rocket logo behind. The goal is to be able to hit as many rooms in the hotel as they can without anyone noticing what they’re doing. If they can do the entire hotel's worth of rooms, great! If they can’t, they’ll make a run for the nearest balcony/roof when they do get caught and then chain teleport their way back to their home base.

In any case, this is definitely the time for them to quick change back to their normal clothes and remove the make-up etc, disguise their loot as luggage, then back onto Iron Giant to fly them to the pokecenter (which should take less than twenty minutes) and use the warp to get back to Goldenrod, where they’ll present their loot to the admins!

(Who will see what a good senior Steven is to his juniors on the Team, helping teach them the ways of crime and giving them real heist experience! Don’t they want to make him a Beta someday?)

P.S. Star is fine if we want to use Lydia's place for a home base, so we will. ACTUALLY we'll probably have to do this in the field. Lydia's likely going to still be pissed about Tyler.

[indigo_league]

Steven finally, FINALLY gets his Shiny... and it's a Cacnea! Hopefully he can tell the difference between a healthy shiny and an unhealthy normal one?

Osomatsu gets P20,000, which is quite a lot of money for a newbie! Good for you, Osomatsu. (Maybe pay someone to name your Pokemon for you.)
