"Delphinium... known commonly as the Larkspur. A flower which many associate with meaning love and an open heart, which is preposterous to me. If only people saw it for what it really is, toxic and misleading. As is the bastard who I share both blood and name with!"

A series of Archives extracted from a computer found in Larkspur Lab's Hergeki Division. They were locked behind a password and appear that whoever made them wished to get rid of them for some reason.

Report 1

I've decided to enlist a certain someone to be apart of the project. The boy is fresh out of college but shows a lot of promise. It appears that my teachings and rearing of him have paid off.

My so- No! my heir! Has proven worthy to inherit my research if I am to perish one day. Though I would be happier if he wasn't so.... Mediocre... This is what I feared would happen once I sent him off to college

He'll get over it eventually

Report 2

Work on the C.U.R.I.E system is going well. However, there are a few concerns we have about it. Specifically the suit can only handle so much radiation before the wearer becomes affected. Due to potential concerns involving Codename 092 we have decided to develop a subsystem to help preserve and protect the wearer in case this happens.

The boy has developed a special radiation repelling material that's no different from fabric. He has been placed in charge of helping develop the new system we have dubbed the Recovery and Preservation Thermo/Cardiac-monitoring Unit and Radiation Expelling Shield. Or R.A.P.T.U.R.E.S Unit for short.

Though it appears no different than a blanket at the moment. When complete, this subsystem will connect to the C.U.R.I.E suit and serve as a protective device for the wearer in-case something goes wrong.

Codename 092 test #XXXX

WARNING: THIS LOG WAS CREATED OUTSIDE OF AUTHORIZED TESTING AND WILL NOT BE DOCUMENTED AS SUCH. THIS IS AN AUTO-GENERATED MESSAGE

"A-Are you sure about this XXXX? W-What if the Prof finds out about this..."

'It's ok R****. I know you're nervous but this is a good chance for you to test out that project you've been working on. Also I kind of promised Urayne that I would introduce you to it.

"Urayne? Don't you mean Subject 092?"

'You know you don't have to refer to it by that all the time. Urayne will be fine. So Rames, are you ready?'

"Yes Dr.XXXXX. Here it goes then....

....

Hello there Urayne. I'm R****, XXXXX wanted to introduce me to you."

'How's it going in there R****?'

"Heh, I think it likes me!"

Report 3

So I've been informed that the boy has been getting rather friendly with that "Electrician" we hired a while back, also known as that Interpol Agent. Also it turns out that the boy has been interacting with Codename 092 without my knowledge.

I swear if he tells that Interpol bastard.....

To all Personal

Work on the R.A.P.T.U.R.E.S Unit is to be suspended at the request of Professor Larkspur. He has stated that "improvements" on the C.U.R.I.E Suit have made the need for the R.A.P.T.U.R.E.S subsystem obsolete. Those working on the Unit will be moved to help work on the CURIE suit, R**** will now be assisting Dr. XXXXX personally.

Personal log: R**** L. #1

I can believe the Prof just terminated this project all of a sudden with no proper reason given. Something seems off about this sudden termination. Dr. XXXXX has informed me in private that nothing has changed at all about the CURIE suit.

I don't care what father thinks! I'm not letting something I worked so hard on go to waste! The RAPTURES unit has so much more potential to be something more..... Perhaps it's own separate suit even?

I'm going to be continuing work on the RAPTURES unit on my own, without the Professor's knowledge. XXXX's loaned me some old prototype blueprints for the CURIE suit that I'll be using as a base for my RAPTURES Suit. For the time being, the suit's going to be stashed somewhere in the lab so He can't find it.

I'm also going to be doing a little digging tonight. Cam said to report to him or XXXX if I find anything suspicious.

Personal log: R**** L. #2

To: Cameron C.

So I intercepted a letter today during my "investigation"....

Turns out our suspicions about this project were true.

I know you and XXXXX are the only people here who are aware of my relationship to Prof Larkspur. I trust the two of you enough to disclose this but I also discovered a bit more of my own past during the snoop. You two know that I grew up isolated and that I never knew my mother. I now know why...

Everything I've known in life was a lie.....

In his eyes, I'm nothing but another one of His failed creations....

A MERE test subject!

If you find this Old Man... (And I know you will!) Just to let you know, I'm not your little puppet to control like your Pokémon test subjects! I control my own fate and I sure as Arceus won't follow in your footsteps like you want me to. By the time you find this, The International Police will know everything about your little experiments and the Rangers will be here to raid the Lab.

Report 4

That little bastard did it....

The project's been compromised thanks to that boy. He ratted us out to that damn Interpol agent.

I knew I should have done something about that little- worthless excuse of a human being. Ever since he was little... I knew he'd be nothing but a no good Arceus damn sickly kid.

I have a plan though....

Rumors are that the Rangers will be coming out tomorrow to investigate. If I just plant the blame on the boy then I'll be off the hook. I'm not sure how I'll deal with the investors though....

Report 5

It didn't work!!!

What does a good researcher do when his subjects go out of his control? He disposes of them!

- - -

Personal log: R**** L. #3

Larkspur's planning something. Both XXXXX and Urayne know it as well. I tried warning the others but they don't believe me....

- - -

Report 6

I have some good news. The little nuisance has been terminated following the destruction of Lab 02. He ran back in at the last moment after everyone else evacuated in hopes of finding her and hasn't emerged since. With him out of the way, Interpol has no one else to fall back on.

- - -

Report 6 *update*

That bastard is alive! The Rangers found him this mourning, delirious and screaming about Dr. XXXXX. Turns out he kept that old R.A.P.T.U.R.E.S System without us knowing and that's why he's alive.

I doubt anyone will believe him anyways if they ask him about what happened.

- - -

Report 7

He's been reported missing. Turns out he fled in the middle of the night from the Ranger's Station.

It's not my concern anymore. He'll likely perish in a few days anyway.

The reports found on the computer end there, however a few more separate ones were found that link to these

R's personal log

Date: 8/9/xx

I don't know how but I'm alive....

I crawled my way out of the Plant....

Pierre must have retrieved the Suit....

He evolved into a Nulceon while I was out...

I couldn't find Lucy anywhere....

I think she's.....

*the log is quiet for several minutes*

My body hurts.....

I feel weak and can barely move....

And I can't freaking breath....

I'm near the water's edge....

Thankfully the blanket part of my suit can float...... All I need to do is flip it on my back and then I can float......

*Splash*

Hopefully someone find me.....

This log appears to be a conversation between some Grunts of some sort, likely working for Larkspur.

1: Hey (beep), I swore I just saw the boss just now.

2: Dude I saw it too. Since when did the boss grow his hair back by chance?

1: Wait....

2: *whatever they saw is now staring in their direction* Dude.... Run....

Report 8

That symbol....

That's the same one as the RA-

H-How.... How did he track us down to here? Unless.... He's not alone...

That letter mentioned "Us"...

???: Boss! I hear someone over here!

*thump thump thump* *tap tap*

R: Secret room.... Good going RF....

R's personal log

Date: 8/8/XX

Today's the day all those years ago that Plant Epsilon went into meltdown back home in Tandor....

The same day I lost.....

*sigh*

Why do I feel so empty? We just got done dealing with that Bastard Larkspur who's now in International Police custody. Rapture has also delivered our Judgement to those scums who took Mattie....

But why....

I should feel fulfilled, yet I don't.

*looks at his hands*

What have I become....

Caught up in my own rage.... My desire for vengeance.... I've become just like him...

Lucy.....

*places his head down on his desk*

.....

You're not like him. Larkspur is a bad person.

I.... *sigh* *smile* You're right Urayne.....

We're not the same......

I am myself and he is himself
