Cpl. McCoun's machine gunners, knocked on the front door. They were all dressed in protective suits.
Deimos heard the knocking, got up from the table and donned his protective suit. He then opened the door and let the machine gunners in and he closed the door behind them.
The machine gunners took off their protective suits, revealing that only one of them was Human.
Deimos took off his suit and put it away.
He then returned to the dining room. "Stripetail, Cpl. McCoun's sent his machine gunners in," he said, finishing his meal.
"So are the PokÈmon doing logistics or combat?" Rime asked.
"If you'd watched the anime, combat would be their forte," Deimos said.
"You watch that?"
Deimos nodded. "Hey! It's part of my research about this world!"
"Well, since this is real life, I'd assume their attacks are much deadlier than shown in the anime," Rime replied.
Deimos got up to get some more fish. "No s---, the attacks are deadly!" he said.
