The 150th is snarling traffic up something fierce, and a police chase led to the cancellation of today's parade.

Finally introduced Fujisoft in the Pokemon RP.  The group has a hacker now.  Sort of.  Mewtwo can only hack his own software.  Though, if anyone has Porygon...

Or, I'll have to double-check, but perhaps Mewtwo could write a Porygon, if he hadn't done so already.  An exclusive Fujisoft Porygon written entirely in his m2code.  Though, since Mewtwo is only really versed in his own specialty, then that Porygon would be confined to bioinformatics.

"... You CREATED Fujisoft!?" Dr. Wily II was just as dumbfounded as Quickie. Astonishment aside, this can work in their favour. "Mewtwo, you said you were the one that created the programming for the device. Is it possible to rewrite the core programming, and feint your signal?"

Mewtwo nodded.  "I could do that.  Though, I would need to connect it to my computer."  He glanced around the room. "Unless I have access to this ship's computer system, I cannot be certain if it uses my programming language."  He took a moment to retrieve the tracking device from the Yanma.  "My programming language is rather... exclusive.  Hence why I specialize in rather... exclusive fields."  He paused and undid the string around the tracking device. "I mostly conduct my work in bioinformatics."

"Bioinformatics?"  Quickie raised an eyebrow.

"In short, DNA sequencing," Mewtwo clarified.

"Ah," Quickie nodded.  She looked to Heirophant and Merrick and quickly explained Mewtwo's previous neurotic behavior.  "Oh, Mewtwo gets nervous in regards to anything even remotely related to a laboratory.  He's gotten sick before, but he wouldn't dare seek treatment, mainly due to his paranoia.  And," she shrugged, "he just doesn't like doctors."

"I have my reasons," Mewtwo cut in. "I started life as a science experiment.  And when Team Rocket recaptured me, they were going to experiment on me.  They had experimented on me before, and they had threatened to do the same to my fellow clones, experiments which would have resulted in their deaths."  He nodded to Heirophant. "So you can perhaps understand why I would be a bit... apprehensive in certain situations."

Quickie chewed on her knuckle. "If we destroy it, it won't send the signal, and they'll know we tampered with it."

"Actually, let me see that," Mewtwo got off the table and picked up the tracking device to examine it closely.  There was some writing on one of the microprocessors, which he could recognize, but was unable to read it clearly.  He took the tracking device to one of the consoles and made use of the magnification equipment there, bringing the writing into focus.  "This... this cannot be..."

Quickie walked over to look. "What?"

"It says 'Fujisoft'!" Mewtwo turned around and pointed at it.  "I created Fujisoft!  I wrote the program for this device!"

Quickie blinked at him, dumbfounded. "You wrote programs for Team Rocket?"

"Not for them directly," Mewtwo shook his head. "I write and sell proprietary bioinformatics software, and have secured contracts with various organizations.  However, the microprocessors were made more widely available, at least my programming for them."

"When were you doing all of this?!" Quickie was still shocked at Mewtwo's side project.

"When my time allows," Mewtwo's voice dropped, "though I have had this project for a long time, no one knows its true origin.  I have had to use other humans as puppets, and their memories would be erased after their usefulness has ended.  The programming language and everything... I already had that.  I had created that back on New Island... back when, well... I was not in the right frame of mind..."

Quickie nodded and patted Mewtwo on the shoulder.  "You did great."

Mewtwo let out a long breath, then he coughed and rubbed his eyes.  "What was it that you took out?"

"Whatever it is, it's infected, and thus, it needs to go," Quickie nodded.  "The sooner, the better.  And, the sooner you let Wily take that thing out, the sooner it's done.  After that," she shrugged, "antibiotics and you're good to go."

Mewtwo still refused to emerge.  He scratched at the base of his tail, feeling the bump.  He pressed on it and winced.  His stomach decided to follow his heart into his throat and he felt ill, though this time it was as a result of frayed nerves.  He coughed and panted. "Very well..."  After a few moments, he conquered his reluctance and emerged from behind the console.  Shaking, he climbed back onto the exam table and focused on calming his breathing.

Quickie rubbed his shoulder.  "Just relax.  And hold really still.  Try not to move your tail so much."

That was the last straw, as parody was still something that was lost on Mewtwo.  He wrenched himself free of Quickie's grip and clambered off of the table, wedging himself behind a console.

Quickie crouched in front of the console.  "Come on out.  Whatever that is, it needs to come out, or you'll get worse.  You want to feel better, don't you?"

Mewtwo nodded, though he did not emerge. "How long will this take?"

"A few minutes," Quickie shrugged, "if it's just under the skin.  You won't even need to be asleep for it."

Quickie blinked at the image. "...the hell is it?"  It was clearly some sort of electronic device, with what appeared to be a battery pack.  But, she could not readily tell what the device was, aside from that it consisted of a circuit board encased in a plastic shell.

Mewtwo also stared at the image.  He wasn't quite sure what the object was, but he knew that it needed to come out, and everyone in the room was intent on removing it.  His heart pounded in his throat and he moved to pull himself off the table.  There was a console in the corner that he could hide behind, as his exit was blocked.

Quickie took notice and quickly grabbed him by the shoulders to hold him down. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!  Hold on, there!  Whatever that thing is, it needs to come out!"

"If you want, I can cut down on the examination time by using my Libra spell," Hierophant suggested, "It should be able to detect anything that doesn't belong in the body and bring it to light so the doctors can easily remove it."

Mewtwo bristled at the words and his fidgeting and furtive glances increased as he looked around for a place to hide.  He could easily force everyone away from him with a Psywave, but these people were his friends and he did not wish to hurt them.  Nor were they trying to hurt him.  But, with the bright overhead lights beating down on him, the coldness of the table beneath him, Wily selecting various items for the exam, and this talk of removing something from his body made his heart leap into his throat and stay there.

Quickie put her hand on his shoulder.  "Relax."  She looked to Pyro, then to Heirophant.  "You think there's something in his tail?"  She glanced at the base of Mewtwo's tail, and her mind raced as to what could possibly be in it.  "There's not that much that would be put there...  I mean, yeah, it's an ideal place for injections.  And before Team Rocket zapped me, I saw them shoot him in the tail with a tranq."  She moved her hand and carefully felt the area where Mewtwo was scratching.  "...There's a bump there."

Mewtwo scratched at the base of his tail, before Quickie reached over and moved his hand away.  He leaned his head back and tried not to look at the trolley, or all the tools spread out on it.  "It might be just a rash, from something."  He tried to think of how he could excuse his condition, particularly since Pyro said that it was something in his tail.  Mewtwo shuddered and rubbed the back of his neck, then picked at the tape that still secured the IV to his neck-tube.

Quickie noticed Mewtwo's increased unessiness, particularly his fidgeting and how he was throwing furtive glances around the room. "Relax.  The sooner we check you out, the sooner you can leave."  She gestured to the back of his neck. "And we'll get that IV out, finally."  She would have attempted to remove the catheter herself, as she had interned in a Pokemon Center before, but that was years ago and her training was a faded memory.

Butch and Cassidy were making their approach on Station 47 and Cassidy could not be happier. Though she did not explicitly say so to the boss, she reveled in this assignment because it would give her a chance to gloat to Jesse about her numerous successes compared to Jesse's countless failures. Even her team's periodic failures seemed minor compared to the rare Pokemon they captured for Team Rocket. Particularly, that Porygon they stole from a Celadon lab and the upgrade needed to evolve it. She slipped on her headset and spoke into the receiver.

"Agent 009? This is Agents 014 and 015," she said, "Our apologies for the lack of transmissions. We encountered some interference and our making our approach, over."

"Acknowledged, 015," Domino replied.  "I will be landing shortly, so until we touch down, I'll be incommunicado.  However, I'll be on a video feed to the station as soon as possible."

Giovanni's voice cut in. "If Booth is with you, tell him to keep that temper under control!"

Meanwhile, in the stuffy Station 47...

Hart leaned his chair back and propped his boots on the desk before him.  Just across the room, in a holding cell, were a very cross trio of lower-ranked agents.  Hart regarded them with a glance before he pulled out a pack of cigarettes, tapped one into view, put it to his lips, and then lit it.  He leaned farther back in his chair, puffing a small plume of smoke to the ceiling before he sat forward.  "This is the first time I had to arrest one of our own."  He snickered.

Jessie furrowed her brow, but remained silent, while James sulked on the bench.  Meowth muttered something under his breath that Hart didn't catch.

Hart's radio emitted a burst of static and he quickly answered it. "Hart here.  Go ahead."

"Have Butch and Cassidy arrived yet?  What's their ETA?" Domino's voice snapped over the speaker.

"Haven't heard from them, yet," Hart tapped some ash off of his cigarette and glanced at the holding cell.  "What do you want me to do with Jessie and James?"

"Keep them in custody for the time being," Domino replied, "If Butch and Cassidy don't contact you, call me and we'll progress from there.  Slade is finishing his sweeps, so I'll send him over to the station.  Once we land, I'll get on the horn at base, do a conference call."

"Gotcha, over and out," Hart closed the connection and returned to his smoking.  He leaned back in his chair, balancing it on its back legs as he threw his glance to Jessie and James. "I still don't know how you losers are still in this organization."

Hierophant thought he noticed something, but decided not to think too deeply on it since it was unfamiliar territory and he currently had no right to investigate.  Instead he turns his attention back to Mewtwo, noting his reluctance to get on the exam table, but currently having no means to do anything about it.

Quickie folded her arms and gave Mewtwo a look.  "Listen, the sooner we check you out, the sooner you can go back to sleep.  You don't want to be here any more than we do, and we don't want to be here long."  She wrinkled her nose. "I can't stand that mediciney smell..."

Mewtwo heaved an irritated groan and finally relented, climbing onto to the exam table.  "Let us get this over with.  I assure you that it is just fatigue.  Wily can attest to our bad week."
