Kaeda, and Orpheus look at each other then back to the girl. Kaeda folds her arms, and frowns. This girl mentioned her own friends getting kidnapped, and by a "poke-person." Did she mean a hybrid, and did they even have hybrids doing their dirty work? Kaeda really didn't trust this girl, but she really did need to find Lia. She was ready to get going, and she looked to Floyd. "You buy any of this, Floyd? She doesn't seem like the threat from the corporation. I would also like to hurry to the lab."

Floyd nods after a moment of thought.
"I believe her. And we really don't want to waste anytime. We're investigating a lab near the Seafoam Islands." He says, addressing the stranger with his last sentence.
"I'm Floyd and that's Kaeda by the way."

Corporation? Bleh! That means it's organized and probably much harder to fight. On the other hand, corporations were typically harder to hide then individuals. Some upside at the very least Jane hoped. And if she had allies looking to find other victims ...
The girl stood silent for a short while then her hostile demeanor faded. She took a deep breath and declared: "I'm Jane. And if you are going after whoever kidnaps people - then I'm coming with you!"

Kaeda sighs, and shakes her head. "Ok. Fine, but we'll have our eyes on you. Floyd, let's get going. And you, Jane? Got a water pokemon?" Kaeda is ready to get going now, and she mounts her Mantine who gives an excited screech.

Floyd nods and gestures for Calyx to get in the water, waiting for Jane to answer.

"Well not really ..." Jane looks briefly apologetic before erupting in a grin and releasing her dragalge. It felt good to have a bit fun today. "But Tia can easily carry me!"
She headed out into the water until it was deep enough to comfortably support Tia with Jane on her back. "Let's go!"

The group heads out into the open ocean on their swimming Pokemon, and after an hour or two manage to reach the coordinates they acquired. However, there doesn't appear to be anything except water as far as the eye can see.

"Weren't that lab supposed to be around here?" Jane looked around without seeing much of anything. Well except water. Too much water almost! Her suspicious thoughts started to creep back before she realized what was going on. "Oh no! Did those coordinates have depth..?"

Kaeda groans when it seems the lab is underwater. She should've expected that at least. Kaeda, and Ryuga, dip below the surface to see if there is any kind of structure under the water.

There is nothing that Kaeda or Ryuga can see down there. Obviously if it were that easy, someone would have noticed it by now. Likely it is either camouflaged or hidden by other means where your average tourist diver isn't likely to bump into it by mistake.

Floyd begins pulling his diving gear out of his backpack.
"I'll have a look, see if I can find anything. If I can't we'll have to head over to Cinnabar." He says before diving down with Calyx.

Floyd can't really see much of anything down beneath the waves. Oh, there's plenty of light, but he can't see anything out of the ordinary. Calyx, on the other hand, seems to spot something and swims over to what seems like just a collection of large rocks. Up close, it doesn't seem abnormal either, but Calyx is suspicious for some reason. Then, she gets the idea to talk to the local Pokemon. Maybe Calyx is just being paranoid because Floyd is paranoid. After returning to the surface, Calyx indicates to Floyd that the locals claim it's not natural, but it's been there long enough that it doesn't really bother them. They have not seen any humans come in or out, but such an event isn't particularly noteworthy unless it disrupts their natural environment. Something that it seems it does not do.

Floyd returns to the surface and relays this information to the others.
"I could keep looking for an entrance, but this place seems abandoned." He says.

"We look for a way in, or make one. I want to absolutely make sure she isn't here. Let's go check it out thoroughly." Kaeda takes the re-breather from her bag, and pops it onto her face. She then holds on tight to her Mantine as it glides down into the water.

Floyd shrugs at Jane before following Kaeda down.

Jane watches the other two whom actually had prepared underwater gear. She hadn't - mostly because this really wasn't where she had expected today to lead. So far nothing really had.
But she wasn't about to give up so easily! She picked out her critical (and waterproof) equipment and then made sure all the other contents of her pack where tightly sealed in a plastic bag. Then she stuffed another plastic back and Nie into her top, making an very silly looking but functional air source.
Then it's time for her and Tia (and Nie the Whimsicott) to also head bellow the waves! "Blub blub blub!"

Floyd and Calyx can't find anything that might resemble a seam or an entrance.
Jane and Tia are able to make out a few random details, but it's made more difficult by the distortion of the air bubble around Jane's head.
Kaeda searches every inch of the visible "rock formation" and eventually finds something that seems off. It appears to be some sort of.. airlock? Maybe? This must be the entrance.

Kaeda motions to the others to come check out what she found. As she points out the "air lock," she mimes to Floyd to see if he can force it open possibly. This would be much easier if she could telepathically talk to him, but waving her arms about should work.

Floyd feels around the airlock, looking for anything he can grab or push.

Floyd is unable to find anything to grab or push. The entrance is "visible" once it's pointed out to him, but it seems like it sits flush with the wall and appears to have no obvious method of opening it. For as cautious as Saffron Genetics is, it would make some sense that not just anybody who stumbled across them could enter their research labs.
