Brisa and Luz compile an exhaustive set of notes on the events and mysteries and personae of significance to Team Spectrum's mission, to the best of their ability. They make the team aware of this so Nate anyone who wants to help, can contribute. Hopefully this will make it easier to find relevant information and keep everyone in the loop! In particular, it should be pretty easy for less-sensitive information to disseminate among the team.

Raven spends some time picking berries with Mellow, and talking to Bahamut, before going back to exploring Cibus. She starts by going to another island, Fire Island, though she stays on the very outskirts and admires the volcano from a distance. She also takes pictures and sends them to the group.

Mellow goes back to Destiny Village and starts working on preparing and distilling potions and salves, trying to get them to a higher potency, while also working at the infirmary. She talks to Zinc a lot, and starts thinking maybe staying in Cibus might not be so bad after all...

Since she's there, Vix asks Protein about all the members of that Scouting Mission

Protein and S'more were the only ones to go on that particular scouting mission, so there was nobody else to follow up with.

Nate will visit Silver and Giovanni in the holding cells to see how they're doing. He'll bring cards in case either of them would like to play a bit to pass the time, and treats for Silver's pokémon.

Giovanni would accept that one, and while he had trouble actually holding the cards with his wings, he was nearly unreadable. If Nate ever attempted Foresight, Giovanni would reply with a spectral zap to Nate's forehead and a smirk about having to cheat without getting caught. Silver's Pokemon enjoyed the treats. Silver himself seemed a lot happier, even if he'd never admit it. The locks on their memories seemed to be weakening...

Mellow goes back to Destiny Village and starts working on preparing and distilling potions and salves, trying to get them to a higher potency, while also working at the infirmary. She talks to Zinc a lot, and starts thinking maybe staying in Cibus might not be so bad after all...

During Mellow's work, it seems that they are close to some kind of breakthrough that might help the team. It's distant, but perhaps something useful will come from this later...

Kindle goes to the hidden training facility under the colosseum, and decided to make the greenhouse for his gracidea in there. The ninetales spends a good three hours making sure everything is perfect, and about half more simply staring at the flower before hunger finally forces him to leave it alone, feeling much better after it. He can be seen daily after that, several times a day, until anyone could notice that taking care of the flower is one of his usual activities.

He spends the rest of the time familiarising with some of Cybus' most common settings, since most of them were still alien to him and he hadn't taken the time to explore the environment properly.

Knowing that Puddle is still unsure about Joule, Vix goes to chat with him about the familiars. More specifically, she asks if he will ever actually try to absorb all of them, even the ones that don't want to join back with him.

Afterwords, Vix goes to hang out with Soda, taking him up on one of his offers to get drinks.

Raven goes to visit Lively Town! It's here she makes her first attempt to go through a Mystery Dungeon, as a way to pass the time and check out Serene Village on the other side of the pass. She keeps a lookout for anything strange, but doesn't go out of her way to do so.

Joule doesn't seem comfortable with the subject., but he does cheerfully say that he doesn't want to hurt anyone, and that includes seizing them when they don't want to return.

Afterwords, Vix goes to hang out with Soda, taking him up on one of his offers to get drinks.

Soda takes up the offer. Efforts to flirt with him seem to go places.

The Dungeon was an easy one, but Raven would quickly find out that she had more luck intimidating foes than actually fighting them. Her power was not enough to do much of anything, though at the same time, she also couldn't be hurt much by them.

Saltriv goes to check in on Sword often, and brings gummis for her every time.

Koa immediately sprints to find Brisa and tells her everything he did and everything the Haze said. He's a little winded and maybe a little shaken when he arrives.

(Although he leaves out all the bits about how frightened he felt, especially after the vision. Not that he was frightened, or is scared about what's going to happen next. He's fine!)

He doesn't tell anyone else immediately yet though, mostly for fear of being overheard or otherwise found out, but if Koa is able to pull someone aside to inform them privately of what occurred. However, he tells no one outside Team Spectrum and always makes sure that when he does mention it, its somewhere private and nowhere near Maple or the rest of the God Squad, or quite frankly, anyone period.

He also keeps a discreet eye on Soda, having private but very strong suspicions of his own.

Brisa studies old colosseum matches and interviews to see if she can make an approximate tier list of the Omen Hero teams and God Squad members.

Luz starts going to therapy.

Saltriv regularly visits Thyme for chats, sometimes bringing up the similarities and differences between their worlds. They bring gummis for both of them.

Vix brings S'more and Protein to Breaker, asking her if she can help them, or at least S'more, remember anything from their scouting mission.

Nothing new.

Vix goes to check in with Silver and Giovanni, asking how they've been feeling, what of their memories they might have recovered, and before leaving says the word "Updog" to Silver, with a straight face, before seeing his reaction and leaving.

Silver requested to the guards and Poffin that Vix never visit the cells again.

Nate's going to visit Deoxys to ask about space travel! If some pokémon wanted to visit Cibus' moon, what would they need? Would it be possible for a pokémon like Deoxys or Necrozma to bring others with them into space?

They'd need air, and protection against the sun. Necrozma or other deities could possibly do it without much of a problem, as could Rayquaza, but it wouldn't be easy, and travel could take a while. Joule might have the energy for instantly traveling there, though, but it seemed that Joule wasn't quite at that strength to go to the moon specifically.

He also keeps a discreet eye on Soda, having private but very strong suspicions of his own.

Soda seemed to be doing nothing suspicious, though there were a few times when he definitely seemed aware that Koa was watching him. Occasionally, Koa would find himself tripping on objects that certainly hadn't been there a while ago. There was one time when a spontaneous ball of mud had fallen from a rooftop and right onto Koa. Soda didn't seem to have noticed it.

Ivy also tries to hang out with Sword and asks Sword what she used to do before as a mew before she became charmander on Telum.

She has no memory of this yet, and can't think of any particularly prominent feelings about it, either.

Brisa studies old colosseum matches and interviews to see if she can make an approximate tier list of the Omen Hero teams and God Squad members.

Team Drumstick, of the Meteor crisis from several decades ago, are the weakest Omen Heroes, possibly due to age and winding down to a retired life. However, they still seem to hold their own against individual God Squad members. Thyme and Pepper are strong, but are also the second weakest, having settled into a family life, and therefore their strength had faded some. It is a hotly contested subject whether Pine and Nanab or Pita and Nutmeg are stronger than one another, both still being in their primes; additionally, with Buffet on one side and Mew on the other, it seemed they both had representatives of the world to fight alongside.

Flesh is an unknown contender, but it is said that he is not the most experienced at fighting. Truffle, too, has only been seen fighting with another, and not necessarily on his own. Leg's performance was commendable, and she seemed to be a frightful foe due to her odd abilities. Soda has never been seen taking a hit during a fight, but also does not fight very often. There is a record of Owen battling Soda, once, with Soda winning handily several months ago. Reports suggest that Owen had been off his game that fight, and despite his Perceive, Owen wasn't able to land a single blow.

Maple accepted challenges now and then in the Colosseum. She won every one. It appears that nothing fazes her during fights; any attempts at burning, confusing, poisoning, debilitating, or even staggering her plainly does not work.

Potluck was seen battling a few times in the Colosseum, and is a very explosive fighter. Literally. Most footage of him seems to be focused on his amazing ability to explode multiple times without having to stop fighting.

Regardless of Brisa's intentions, stories of Cibus' immigrant Mewtwo were unavoidable. Karat had returned to the Colosseum, but getting interviews with him was notoriously difficult. He appears to be terrified of his rabid fans, particularly a Nidoqueen who keeps asking for his signature on her chest. Despite this, however, he is one of the strongest fighters in the world, and has been estimated to only struggle against other Legends or the strongest of the Omen Heroes.

According to rumors perpetuated by Flygon Pansit, the Incineroar announcer of the colosseum was also a legendary fighter...

Echo takes the time to try to visit not just the members of Team Spectrum, but also Pop and God Squad. He makes cheerful conversation with any willing.

When not meeting a new face, he hangs out around all the restaurants quite a bit, becoming a regular sight (especially on the ceiling fan). He has a penchant for trying out different beverages and foods, especially sweet things.

At Koa's request he does what he can to see if anyone is acting odd - God Squad, Spectrum, or even just Cibus natives.
