Officer Jenny sighs as most of the questions are asked. "In regards to the state of the sewers or anything you might find or encounter down there, we simply don't know. Right now, most of our forces are trying to retake the Power Plant, so we simply haven't had the men to spare on this security detail. That's why we recruited you all. If you run into a Poison type, I would simply say to retreat if you can't capture them. We'll send in a team of specialists if that happens."

When Nikolai speaks, Officer Jenny frowns. "Unfortunately, I can't say, either. Like I stated earlier, we simply don't know the situation down there. There may be some damage to underground cables, but there's no guarantee." When Emily asks for a mechanic, she turns back to Nikolai. "Looks like you've got your work cut out for you right there."

She looks at Silver when he asks about exit points. "Unfortunately, Celadon's sewage system is completely self-sufficient, thanks to the green movement a few decades ago. Other than the storm drains, which only lead to the ocean and hostile water types, the only other way to get outside of the city via the sewers would be through the intake pipes from the city dam, but... that's not an option at the moment. Not to mention the reservoir is even farther away from any neighboring cities and towns."

"As for splitting up..." This seems to be the hardest thing for her to talk about, as she leans back a bit further in her chair. "Unfortunately, I can't suggest you do that. While it's a great idea and I think you're on to something, you must all work together. The bureaucrats above me..." Her eyes flick to the door warily as the level of her voice drops. "At least, those who didn't flee the city as soon as the attacks started, are expecting results from you all. They want to see a huge group of trainers emerge from beneath the streets with a giant Raticate's head on a pike. For them, you guys being involved in the campaign is not only a last resort, but also to drive up morale among the citizenry."

At these words, the officer places a hand to her forehead. "I tried to reason with them, but even in a situation such as this, I can't go against my superiors. You'll all go down there together, and you'll patrol the sewer as a single unit. Of course, once you all get down there, my words have no control over you. I just ask that you please, please, please don't do anything to endanger your already precarious situation. A mistake this early on could cause those in charge to decide your skills aren't up to snuff, and this city can't afford that at the moment."

At Amet's question about addressing the group, she shakes her head. "Save that for when you're under the streets. We need to get this briefing done, and you all down there as soon as possible. Now, are there any more questions, or can we get underway?"
