[[Archie is standing in the shallows of a very familiar beach, the water lapping quietly at his ankles as he stares out at the ocean, motionless. His hands are at his sides, and in one of them is the blue orb, his fingers clasped tightly around it

...Ark? How did...
[[...you've actually surprised him, Ark what the fuck are you doing here
oh well you are a member of the SSS, so. SURE, WHY NOT....]]
...it's good to see you!
[[...and he's actually telling the truth. You're a fucking moron, but you've got a nice cruel, sadistic streak. It will be useful.]]

we are actually
having a meeting
...it's a really unorthodox meeting and we're on a beach and you don't have your massive wallaquarium or anything but we are having a meeting
She will just be lining so hard it makes noise being a member of the SSS totally comes with that skill and dropping forward into a rather abrupt bow before straightening up again!]
Always an honor, sir.
[omg
we
are
doing actual stuff]

I won't fail you, sir.

[Ark finishes up the trio by standing on Angie's other side and throwing a salute. It probably would have hurt if his head wasn't so damn hard.] It's good to be here, sir!

Things are falling into place nicely. Masquerain circles the trio once, before fluttering down to perch on his shoulder, watching quietly.]]
Thank you all for responding so quickly to my summons. We have a lot of work to do. As I'm sure you've noticed...
[[He'll just be holding up the blue orb so they can take a decent look.]]
...I've found myself in possession of quite the artifact. Angie, Ark...you two would be unaware of what this is, wouldn't you? Down under the ocean, we made a few discoveries...this object, the blue orb, controls Kyogre. Completely. I intend to use it to achieve Team Aqua's noble goal.
Right here on the island.

Sir, that's wonderful news! I -
[...wait, wait, wait. According to her discussions with both Amber and Archie himself, that...hadn't...gone so well last time, had it...]

...let's just subdue ourselves a bit without expressing displeasure. That'll work until a gameplan is figured out, right?]
Whatever you require of me, sir, will be done.

Of course, sir. [They'll be successful this time. And hopefully it will involve a lot less potential drowning.]

[[You don't mind if he gives you a rather demented looking smile, do you? Of course you don't.
As for the rest of you, he likes all these non-questions. It's good. Just shut up and take your orders, you lot.]]
Just as I expected to hear from my sub-leaders. Your roles are vital to the success of our operation.
I should warn you; Team Magma is also in the possession of an orb. And I have it on good information-
[[Masquerain's wings twitch a bit.]]
-that the Three Fires are here as well. While that makes us on equal footing with Team Magma, I've never felt overly comfortable with being merely equal with them, when we are obviously far above them. However, as usual, they will turn out to be a thorn in my side.
That's where you three come in. I want you to kill the Fires. One for each of you.
Angie, you are assigned to take out the woman, Marge. I trust this won't be difficult for you. She's quite....relaxed with her loyalty to Team Magma, but she has the tendency to be rather problematic if not taken care ( ... )

But this? This is normal. A bit more violent than it might have been back in Hoenn, but it isn't the first time they've been instructed to kill. After all, they're in the practice of not letting anyone see their faces and live to tell about it.
It's a good sign. A very good sign. Business as usual.]
Understood entirely, sir.

[He remains silent as the other two are given their orders and immediately Amber realizes where that leaves him. He'll be fighting Mitch. Great. He was able to restrain him for a little while last time, but actually killing him? Well, he'll find a way. Failure is not an option.]
No questions, sir.

[Ark grins at the chance to do some damage; Mack or whatever his name is really shouldn't be all that difficult to take out. Still, underestimating his opponents has landed him in some awful situations before.]
Don't worry, sir! We can handle this! [So excite!]

Excellent. Ensure they die painfully, won't you? To send a message about how those who disagree with our worldview will be treated. We have a noble goal, and I will not allow it to be sabotaged by those worthless pieces of trash.
And there is one more thing, on this topic.
Maxie is mine.
