Akil Andire just merely looked out the window while Titana drove, and was the first one out once they had parked.
Remind me why we're here again?
Titania Brightsmith took a little more time to disengage, but she quickly glanced back at Akil.
Remember? So you can butter up Magnezone's higher-ups and give him a little more wiggle room? We need to find the hideout he's using now, and once we do we need to hit it with everything we've got. The two of us just aren't enough anymore, and these are newbies we're dealing with. They want to see us go in, kick ass and take names, maybe sign a couple autographs. We are their heroes, Akil.
Akil Andire shrugged.
I suppose so. We should probably get moving then. I get the feeling that his new hideout is right under our noses.
Titania Brightsmith jogged through the front door, holding it open just long enough for Akil to let herself in as well, and headed for Officer Magnezone's office, hoping that a decision had not yet been reached. This specimen never struck her as the sort that was willing to compromise, but she had been wrong before.
Akil Andire entered and followed Titania.
Why are we hinging this on Magnezone? If we're really that badass, then we should be able to march in and ruin the hideout ourselves. We can probably get Aurelia to give us the location of this one.
Titania Brightsmith sighed rather loudly.
Because, my dear Akil, Ahriman has proven again and again that we are not. One look at Nicholas should tell you that. As for getting Aurelia's help, that sounds like a good idea, but it's out of your pocket this time.
Titania Brightsmith rapped on the door a few times.
Magnezone, it's me, Titania. I brought Akil like you asked. Get your guys on the horn.
Magnezone opened the door.

"I did not ask you to bring her to me. I asked you to do stuff while I haggled with the higher-ups. They have set this Ahriman fiasco as a Level 1 Hazard, against their better judgements, and therefore redirected a few resources.
Titania Brightsmith shook her head.
Well, you can't win 'em all. Did they mention what sort of backup they'll be sending? There are newbie Trainers in that group, and if we don't beat him decisively, there goes our future.
Magnezone answered.

"They did not specify. They did however state that they have a budget to keep to as well, and that they can only redirect what the budget allows unless some people like you are fine with losing your jobs here."
Titania Brightsmith shook her head.
Hell no. I'm fighting to keep my job and my reputation as it is. We go in hard or we don't go at all.
Magnezone then addressed that.

"Sounds like you'd best accept what help you get then. As for hideout location, I got a riddle from Ahriman the other day, sent to me by mail."
Titania Brightsmith nodded a bit.
A riddle this time? It's like he wants us to find him so he can humiliate us in front of the next generation. That slimeball...let's see it.
Nodded and read it.
Magnezone handed Titania the piece of paper with the riddle.
To dear Titty and her lovely friend; a hint, a clue, where should I begin? Look for the waterfall, close to home; down below it, the next hint shall roam.

"I couldn't make heads or tails of it. So why don't you give it a shot?"
Magnezone handed Titania the piece of paper with the riddle.
Titania Brightsmith blushed a little bit at the mention of that insulting nickname.
A waterfall close to home...something gushing downward. Close to home could mean either my house, your house, this place, maybe Polygon's mansion. Ugh.
Akil Andire tried to think here.
If he says close to home, and it's directed at you, more than likely, it's your house, yes?
Titania Brightsmith started trying to think her way through the situation. The key here was trying to think of what was meant by "waterfall." Perhaps it was literal, but more often it was figurative. A shower, perhaps. But if the next clue was in there...that thought was extremely disturbing, but right up his alley.
Well, he's already broken into both of our places at least once each, but he's paid the League two visits as well. One after we consulted your Xatu friend, the other was when he was tussling with Morana and the remnants of Team Chain. It's a thought, but let's start looking around this headquarters building. If we need to, we can drive back to my place if that comes up empty.
Magnezone chirped in here.

"It may be none of my business, Titania, but perhaps checking under your faucet at home? Akil has a point saying that the message being directed at you implies your house.
Waterfalls. Showers and Faucets are all I can think of near a house that would match that unless you have an outside water source for water hoses."
Titania Brightsmith shook her head quite a bit.
I don't even want to think about how that creep got into my bathroom...but if he did, surely he would have seen Tungsten curled up in a corner somewhere with his brother. All right, let's ride. Zone's got a point...those forty-eight hours are ticking.
Magnezone said goodbye.
He then went back to filling papers.

"You guys, good luck with that."
