-Takes a seat-

That's two of us dead, and at the ripe old age of 17 years old. Sorry if I do an Aura flare up, I just finished having an argument with Maggie over it.

-Mendel hears Silent's question but seems distracted with the Setup process of his laptop

Mendel: Oh! Professor Silent! Uhh... Lets see...

Hertz: -sighs- <Mendel talk properly to your superior. I'll handle the set up.>

-Hertz float into the laptop, which takes and orange hue.-

Mendel: Oh! Okay, thanks Hertz.

Pearl: <And keep it together Mendel.>

Mendel: -sweatdrops-

-Mendel turns to Silent and start to list what he needs while visable straining not to devolve back into fanboy mode-

Mendel: Well, I can begin immediately if required. Since this will help nicely with a few of my other projects. As for resources and accommodations... uhhh... We'll obviously need a copy of the program... hmmm... I think permission to use the translator in places where personally electronic can be brought into, but are not usually not allowed into if possible... I guess a handheld of some sort for when the laptop is impractical to carry... Oh! Being able to interact with a variety of available mon would be ideal for a test like this... And once I've gathered some data, and once one becomes available, a PEFEgon for a third test group...

-Mendel starts to mutter trying to think of anything else he didn't have access to that he needed.-
 
Ren: -relenting under silent's Leer and Mendel's "work mode"- Okay, I admit, he does seem to know what he needs to pull this off and how to do it properly.

-Hertz releases the laptop from his possession and floats next to Mendel happy that Mendel is taking things seriously.-

Mendel: -finally speaking up- AND CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH PROFESSOR SILENT?

Ren: -face palm-

Rio: -face paw-

Kitsune: -face paw-

Gamma: -facepalm.jpg-

Keys: -face key-

Hertz: -face plasma-

Pearl: -Face palm-

With Ren and Mendel

Maekrite☼ -listens to Mendel rambling with a growing o_o face: <…rrrrr?> -- tilts head, then scrambles towards Silent's shoulder.

"...Geez I didn't bring my own recorder. Oh well." -- starts jolting down notes.

-Silent sees Mendel is taking the job seriously, turns to Ren-

"Well then I guess I can help provide some of the material. Though for the lighter-model part of the laptop's impracticability all I can do is ask them to give the patches priority and notify him when they have a PEFEgon ready. For the availability of mons I guess we can schedule rounds at the National Park."

-He's about to turn to Mendel to comment on something when autograph request-

-silences, sweatdrops-

Maekrite☼ -has just climbed to Silent's head, gives Hertz a mild glare: <You better actually do something… You know, you almost remind me of myself when we started. Almost..>

With Tagg

-Silent hmphs atthe first piece of information-

"I'm pretty sure a new meeting would be a good idea, but given the results of the last one and the nature and dispersion of the information to be discussed... I fear it might end up coming as a point of contention itself and derail the whole thing."

-Sol stretches and adds a little thing-

Sol: <You'd better do it soon, or people will disperse in more than one way.>

-Her jewel shimmers-

-to Tagg-

"You've seen how I deal with this kid of stuff... ever since the book. It's a simpler path, and for the same reason I can't recommend it."

-Shifts in his seat for a moment-

"Whatever you do though, I advise you to distance yourself from the 'everythingness' of it all. You don't have to deal with everyone's issues, or with the consequences of every act. I have seen where you go from all that blame, we all have, and I think for the group that prospect will be a bad thing to have, regardless of if they paint that image on their mind themselves or it's you who did something about it."

With Ren

"Hmmm, okay then. I think that mostly settles it, we can consider this project [started]."

Maekrite☼ -buffs: <Well you keep doing that, rooli.> ("rookie")

-Silent catches hearing of the little conversation between Hertz and Maekrite, and quickly gives the Nidoran a nudge; Maekrite sprawls himself on Silent's head and perks his ears up in response-

-to Ren-

"Maekrite's all energetic and judgemental again. I'm guessing he's feeling a bit offended that someone would have a mon of such rarity as a Starter, even more by accident, considering all that being a Starter has meant to Maekrite's life. You know in some circles Rotom are considered even Legendary..." -Maekrite looks down and Leers to let Silent and Ren know he's listening - "If you don't like being read like that, kit, then behave. Or I'll tell your wife."

-Maekrite flattens his ears and gulps, then turns to Hertz-

Maekrite☼: <I do mean that you keep doing that... that you help.>

-and turns his head the other way-

-Silent turns to Mendel-

"Well, anything else besides signing that autograph, I guess?"

-goes for a sheet of paper-

With Tagg

-raises a finger and points it at Tagg's temple-

"Precisely because of that. Whether you think of the J-Team as a family, a mob, a party group or as a system, Tagg, you are one of, if not the, critical points of failure." -thinks for a moment- "And then yes, well, some sort of training thing might be good. But I'll still recommend you detach from it."

-Checks his watch-

"Well, dunno if you are too busy or not... I need to go sleep. Give Helios and Roc my greetings?"

PEFE Goldenrod, later

-Silent gets a message from Eridanus-

"Oh, a meeting. Hmmm..." -looks around at the mons comprising his team- "who should I take?"

Sol♀ -sunk in a book: <I'm studying.>

"...Ichtacya?"

Ichtacya♀ -peeks from behind a door: <I'd welcome the sunlight.>

"Okay that's one... Pokéte-"

-turns to find the Noctowl perched, napping-

"-...that's a no. I guess I'll bring Shahinne in and..."

-turns around again to look at another mon-

Algira♀: <WATCH OUT!> -swerves out of the way after almost crashing on Silent's head.

"You coming? We're to meet Eridanus again."

Algira♀: <Oooh! That guy back from where the crazy Gym? I can go.> -she flutters around.

"Okay and that leaves..."

-looks around, noticing Maekrite and Python are nowhere around-

"Hmm... them for later. Okay, let's g-... where's Dintel?"

-Everymon but Sol looks around, shrugs-

"...Later then."

-And walks outside with Shahinne on top of head, Ichtacya and Algira following behind; all while typing a message-

Continuing conversation

-The universe is held in place by Nimbus's logic about why being a hat. Shahinne shrugs it off, thinking it's good to be warm; though Silent does take notice of the extra weight on his head. Fortunately after 9 + 2 years of Nidos on head he's used to it-

Ichtacya♀ -waves a paw at everymon: <Hey, I'm Ichtacya. Most of you probably didn't see me back them.> -- to Rose -- <We are very good peoplemons~>

"Hmmm, Sol is busy studying for a college exam, so she couldn't make it. I was supposed to bring Dintel but couldn't find him, either."

-Shahinne is poked by Vivi, trills and shakes a bit before trying to use Nimbus to cover herself more-

Algira♀ -to Fox: <She says she's too pretty to evolve. What does she know...>

-Silent waves and greets the various mons, motioning Algira to chime in and introduce herself as well; he turns to Eridanus-

"Hmmm so you are informed then. Well, I heard the name once, but I haven't kept that tight tabs on the group. Most I know is that the J-Team were discussing the issue here in Goldenrod... and that yeah it might not be a good time."

-Ichtacya takes note of Atla-

Ichtacya♀: <Whatever you are you are funny-looking. Hey there~>

-Eri and Arley comment on plans. Silent nods, then points a couple of things out-

"Be careful with the Dragon Gym. Leader has a reputation for taking losses far less than stellarly."

-to Arley-

"It's basically science about how a Pokémon controlling intramolecular forces at a granular level can achieve good mastery of teleportation and telekinetics among other things." -- shrugs.

Ichtacya♀: <Y-y-you're still s-s-s-slimey...>

"Come on Ichtacya don't be bad..."

Shahinne♀: <I am, yes~> -- trills.

-and sinks more under Nimbus-

"Hmmm... I guess you'll be wanting to challenge one of the nearby Gyms next. Azalea or Ecruteak?"

(continued here)

National Park

-Disturbing the tranquility of the above scene is rapidly approaching sound of heavy footfalls and a spring-like tail hitting the ground along with an electric buzzing and an ever increasing sound of a frantic call...-

Mendel:  Professor Silent!Professor Silent!Professor Silent!Professor Silent!Professor Silent!Professor Silent!

-Mendel comes to a practically screeching halt in front of Silent. Mendel is in his new outfit he received from Ren as thanks for his help with the translator project - a dark orange turtleneck with Rotom plama-teal stitching and a pair of gray pants and a new pair of practical shoes. In Mendel's arms are three THICK binders that bear the PEFE logo. Pearl is floating two similar binders with Psychic. Hertz immediately merges with a device hanging on a belt loop. The device takes an orange and teal color scheme as Hertz's eyes appear on it.  Mendel, while is (surpriseingly) not out of breath, it is clear that he's run more than a fair distance.-

Mendel: Professor Silent! I just finished my report on the translator program Mr. Clavis submitted to us! I wanted to give it to you as soon as possible, but your secretary said you had stepped out...

Pearl: ~In other words, I had to find you psychically before Mendel had an aneurysm waiting for you.~

-It is unclear how much of that statement, if any of it is at all, is overstated.-

-Hertz's voice issues from the device on Mendel's waist.-

Hertz: -to Harriet- He's fine - I think.

-to Pearl- Pearl, can you get Mendel a drink while I help Mendel here?

Pearl: ~Anyone else want something?~

-the Spoink carefully sets the two binders on an occupied bit of bench before using Psychic to grab Mendel's wallet and start hopping towards to find a vending machine as Mendel inhales before starting.-

Mendel: First off, the program by itself works wonderfully. It is ideal for everyday conversation with mon with the highest percentage of error being with Bug, Ghost, and a small number of particular mon lines. However with the help of an external aide - in this case Mendel - the error becomes too small to be adequately measured. Also - and the schematics for this are detailed in the fifth binder starting on page 385 - with some help from a couple guys in the tech department, I was able to make a prototype device specifically for the translator. A Rotom or Porygon, and to a degree psychic-types, can interface with the device and act as the external aide. A camera is in the device for Porygon to "see" what is going on. In my opinion with a few tweaks to the prototype can be manufactured and distributed to all PEFE members and then possible marketed to the public. The binders detail all the data I've gathered with interaction from three test groups including 497 different mon.

Hertz: Mendel really got into it... ^^;;
