"Kukukukukuuuu.. Curious, are we now? Who am I to object? They called us "Squidheads", a group of three human scientists with cephalopod-enhanced intelligence, we were instructed to study deep into the multiverse-theorem, which suggests that there are infinite universes beyond this one, all cradled in a single collective solar system known as the Stratoscape."
Malamar rests his head on one of his tendrils, "But as time grew, we learned that Lysandre's plans were a far way's off from what our ambitions were building up, thanks to constant researching. While Lysandre's focus was tied solely to this world, ours grew and expanded beyond the fabric of the time-space continuum. But alas, the poor misunderstood man had no idea of the potential and capability he held. All he wants to do is 'beautify' a single world because he thinks it's 'ugly', a subjective and idiotic opinion. Convinced that all universes but this one were beautiful and in no need of study, Lysandre plotted against the rest of the higher-ups in a scandal to exile us from Team Flare as part of a majority vote, to stop any potential uprising."
"It worked. The three of us were fired from the group for having venturous minds, I parted ways with my two scientist acquaintances on what I could only hope was good terms, they eventually gave up on studying the multiverse and moved on to a similar topic, the effects of causality and reincarnation. As for me, my cephalopod intelligence grew far too big a weight to hold, I disconnected from that human vessel and truly awoke, realizing the double-crossing that Lysandre had done to me, how he had pitted to restrict me from my goal in an effort to secure his own, and it was then that I came face to face with what had truly happened that day--sabotage. From that moment onward, I've plotted to take Team Flare down and use their own plans as a stepping stone for a conquest in the name of science. Am I not justified?"
