All accepting trainers start in Lumiose City. Picked up by a Limo you are transported to a large manor on the outskirts of town and led inside to a large waiting room.

Dante looked around the opulent surroundings with an internal raised eyebrow. Their contact, whoever she was, was certainly making a statement by bringing them here. His Pokemon had already been prepared for the day, so he simply stood still while they waited, hands at his sides. "Whatever we're after at the museum," he commented to the other members of the group with a thoughtful tone, "it looks like we're not doing it for the monetary value." That piqued his interest. Team Rocket, judging by this manor, were obviously not short on resources, so it was very possible that rather than simply making off with some valuable art, they'd be after something unique, and potentially useful.

After the long trip, Uri was glad to be able to sit down and get a load off his feet. He'd finished up his daily prep shortly after they'd landed and hadn't had a ton else to do. Kalos was new to him at least, the place seemed to have style and what he thought of as a healthy appreciation for technology. When Dante spoke he glanced over from his seat.
"Could be, could be. Just because your rich doesn't mean you don't want to get richer though. Hell, it might not even be one thing. They could have us steal a handful of stuff to throw people off their tracks on the real thing they wanted."
Shrugging Uri absently began tapping his foot.
"I'm mostly curious to see which museum we're goin' to hit up, if it's someplace big the security will likely be tight and it'll be all over the news. If it is this whole thing might even be more about sending a message rather than grabbing the actual loot."

A few moments pass before you see a door open as a young aristocrat comes into the room. She takes a moment to look oer you both before shaking her head. "C'est ce que je dois travailler avec?" "This is what I have to work with?" She nods resigned to the job and turns back to the both of you. "My name is Yvone Elias, and I am the contact for this mission," she states while holding a small black card emblazoned with a red 'R' on it. "We are to steal one of the new exhibits at the Lumnoise Museum, a fossil of a powerful ancient Pokemon. With it in our possession we would be able to create multiple resurrected clones to fortify our grunts, of course you will be compensated for your efforts with one of the first clones."

A manor? Classy, if not at all subtle. Not like he could talk, considering he used to work for a roaming circus of all things. Still, he was glad that he'd at least gotten his pokemon's training out of the way before he had taken the ride on that limo to this fancy ass manor
When he finally did come in, he was all quiet and let himself remain unnoticed at the back as the other two chatted. He wasn't sure if they were aware he was there yet since he hadn't announced himself yet or anything, but he wasn't trying to hide either. He was just sipping the nice tea the manor offered while they and then her spoke.
A bemused smile tugged on his lips as he heard her speak in French, but other than that he didn't say anything up until she mentioned clones.
"Which pokemon are we targeting, ma'am? And do you have images of the target for us to peruse?" He piped up while still holding his tea.

Liam made sure to start noting down all the details Ms Elias detailed, and considering potential points of entry to expect from a traditional manor.

Dante wasn't great with Kalosian. He'd only been able to get a bit of the woman's statement, something like "It is...I...work with," but her expression made the sentiment obvious. He was surprised she'd be so open about her discontent, but other than that he offered no reaction. He was, however, pleased to have been correct about the utility of the item they were after. "I also hope you have blueprints of the building," he added to Miguel's question. "If not, acquiring them should probably be our first priority."

She nods, "We are here for the fossils of a Tyrantum and Amamura that are on display. Now we don't need to steal the entire fossil structure, just a piece of it to extract the base DNA from." She flicked Her hair back before continuing, "There are a few other things as well, it's rumored that the museum has had some haunting so we may want to check that out before completing the job. A new ghost Pokemon might be quite profitable to find."
She sits down expectantly, "We'll have some time before the heist tomorrow night in case you need time to prepare anything, Any questions?"
She nods and snaps her fingers as the lights go down projecting a 3d image of the museum on the table before them. the target area marked in red.

"Hmm...." Miguel looked thoughtful as he absorbed all of the information and peered at the cool hologram -that was a hologram projection or something, right?- with a curious gaze. "How much of the fossil do we need for extraction to be considered successful? And would we be given the tools to do said extraction?"
He almost wished he had a chair to lean back into right now. "And will we have gear for ghost entrapment or detection?"

Liam raises his hand
"How many guards should we be expecting?"

"We'll be needing at least a full bone, this includes a full finger or toes bone not just the tips, to have enough of the map to create the restoration. As for guards, the museum employs three guards, one at the main computer terminal and two patrol men. My Chadelure with take care of the one in the control room so you will only need to worry about the others."
She looks back to Miguel, "As for tools will have chisels and baggies for the fossils, a jammer for any cameras, and cutters for the alarm wires. As for the Ghost." She produces a pair of Dusk Balls for each of you. "There you go."

Uri had sat silently and listened at the others asked there questions. Finally stirring himself he asked.
"So other than the fact that we can't see is there any reason we shouldn't just cut the power? Also, what's stoppin' us from just grabbin' as many pieces as we can carry?"
After saying his piece he took the dusk balls as well as the cutters and jammer.

"Do we have to go at night?" Dante asked as he examined the map, looking specifically at the ventilation system. "If we went during the day, we could just walk in like tourists," he explained, "and if things get out of hand, we could use all of the regular patrons as hostages."

Miguel inclined his head as the others spoke, grimacing at that last point even as he took the dusk balls. "Well, Uri over there has a point... though that would depend on how much we'd be able to carry out and the carrying capacity of the getaway vehicle. My pokemon are not made for lifting - only one even has anything resembling arms right now."He then took a sip of his tea before continuing. "And I'd really rather not do it in the daytime myself. Needs more manpower, more planning, threats of violence... and is more likely to attract annoying people with the hero syndrome if not the les keufs." He frowned as he took another sip. "I'm not overtly fond of blatant brute force - why do things with a hammer that a knife can do so much better? Besides, I'm... not sure of how much force Team Rocket can bring for something so overt in this region as it were. Newbie and all that."les keufs - plural slang for 'the police' in French

Liam attempts a reassuring pat on Miguel's shoulder
"If it's only 3 guards, and we only need a small fragment of fossil, then I bet we could do it fairly easily. Though I wouldn't recommend cutting the power. It immediatly sets the guards on edge, making them aware of the potential risk. We should try and distract them, and take it right under their noses, let nothing seem out of the ordinary"
While Liam maintained eye contact with Miguel, his other hand never stopped playing his video game.

Uri tapped on his cybernetics as he mulled over everyone's comments.
"I do think that going in daytime would cause a LOT more issues for us. I just thought if the power was down there'd be no chance of a guard tripping the silent alarm or even having to worry about the cameras. If we stationed people at the right spots when the power goes down they could jump the guards in the sudden confusion. If we knock em out we'd have the run of the place for a bit."

"They might not have a silent alarm, but i'm sure they have cell phones that can be used to call in reinforcements. If we hit the power, we'd need to disrupt any cell and radio signals too. Perhaps we could get a pokemon to create a static electrical field?"

Yvonee looked to Uri first, "I would advise against taking larger quantities then we need since you will be mush easier to spot and hear with a bag of jangling bones as opposed to one toe. Als, night will give our selves, as you stated, the place to ourselves per se once we take care of teh guard. Rushing and ruckuses might grab us unwanted attention from others."

Uri shrugged, he guessed that was as good an explanation as any.
"So when are we going to head out then? I assume we're not going today."

Miguel hummed thoughtfully at all of their words, then nodded at Yvonee. However, he did have one more question as well. "Actually... do you mind if we scope out the museum itself before we go to rob it? It's one thing to see the schematics, but it's quite another to see it in person. One or two days' worth of sightseeing to become familiar with the layout."
