( A catch all topic for going ons in this building. Also posting here when Zol recruits the units of other factions.)
Zol looks at the building a ways off from his main base from the north before him smiling while nodding to himself. The west side acted as a docking bay, a location for water based creatures to hang out. Docks extended from there for those who wanted to dive instead of swim from the building. He looked to the middle where the main body of the building was at. It was four stories high ready to hold the many mercenaries that were coming in. That section also had a side dedicated to large creatures as well, never knew if a long legs would show up. There was also a basement tunnel system for ground units to hang out. To the east there was a hanger with a retractable roof for those who flew. A little bit north of there was a giant garage for those who needed it, Zol knows there were some people he could have sworn were attached to their vehicles since birth as he thinks of Shade now. It was really hard to get him away from the APC before that River Battle.
Zol went past though the Residential section with little fanfare as it was just a place to sleep. Where the real interaction happened was the open air mess hall. Indeed the Mess Hall in the south was where most business interactions would take place. Zol entered the giant hall and blasted with a familiar racket he lived with in the past. Booming voices of all kind from creatures of all walks of life filled Zol's senses. Bulborbs of all kinds were everywhere, some he recognized on his travels a few different. Zol held back a laugh as a Winged Dwarf Bulborb flew into a wall yelling something about being able to fly. Zol looked to a section with loose dirt watching creatures holding digging races, others just chilling out. He looked up seeing creatures that actually flew, some Winged Pikmin flying around bothering a Snitchbug before it shot out a long tongue and slapped one away getting a few more laughs. Zol looked out a window watching some Skitter Leafs competing with some Pikmin on the shooting range. Zol looks west and sees the inlet from the river with some relaxing Sputtlefish and what appeared to be Blue Pikmin. Something felt off to Zol, they didn't look different but looks were always deceiving in this line of work. Finally Zol looks to the many tables where Mercenaries ate or were watching around for potential employers. Deciding to take a rest Zol took a seat at an empty table being unnoticed in the chaos waiting to see if other leaders would have a look at the place while at the same time seeing if he was interested in any of the warriors looking for work.
( Feel free to add in info to the structure as you see fit.)

( Sorry if some liberties were taken with the Carnivous battle, don't know if any brown Pikmin were there at all. It shouldn't matter too much though.In other words TLDR Brown Pikmin led by one named Valley joins Origin Wave as part of the Mercenary Outpost's specific function to Zol.)
Valley nervously approached the table Zol occupied along with 39 other brown Pikmin following her. She knew that it's been three years since the Mech-Bender Wars and that Zol shouldn't be paranoid about all brown Pikmin, after all they were plenty of them that weren't part of the Pikmin Warriors. Zol knew that and she knew that occasionally he made visits to the mines asking Brown Pikmin on tunneling advice.
What worried her is that she was a previous Pikmin Warrior. She heeded the call to arms after the mech army's raid on Pikmin Warrior's base and was eager to fight. She remembered the first feeling of adrenaline pumping into her in combat even has she watched the Carnivorous battle from afar anything to see battle even if being held back. She remembered the fear when Zol's troops made a surprise raid on thier base when they thought they had victory assured. At the same time of that fear she felt excitement as she deftly dodged the Arachnodes while slamming a Skitter Leaf into the ground and burrowing before it's friends could avenge them. The thrill of the hunt as she directed the cannon's fire blast to the last of the raiders.
That day she knew she couldn't handle a peaceful life. She very reluctantly went with the non benders only on the orders that she needed to help protect them in the future. She disobeyed a few days after replaying the raid in her mind over and over and headed back to the base for she knew that she was a warrior at heart. She despaired seeing the fortress leave far away without her. In her despair she almost didn't notice the nearby battle unfolding between Vo Spader and Zol. She quickly tried to make her way over only to stop as Zol triggered the bombs devastating the land. She watched as the commanders dueled for supremacy and just stood there watch Zol bleed out. She thought about heading over to finish the job but decided that it would disrespect Vo's memory.
She almost turned around when she noticed Zol putting himself back together with parts that flew nearby. She thought that this was her chance to at least make one final contribution. She dashed across the field ready to finish what Vo started. By the time she got to him though Zol was already finished. She let out a war cry and only stopped when Zol shoot bullets in her path. Every move foward she was about to do was stopped by a shot from Zol. She looked at Zol's organic eye looking down as he sighed," That's enough for one day. Do... you even know what you are fighting for? You have the look of a berserker, one that only lives for the fight. I used to be like that, until I found those whom I fight for now. I'll let you go, go and find a deeper purpose"
Valley knew that she wouldn't be able to finish Zol off and left the barren battlefield. She listlessly worked in the mines in isolation from others who were all too happy to leave behind battle. She mulled over Zol's words as she wondered what she could fight for now with the Pikmin Warriors gone now. She heard rumors of Zol fighting a literal underground war during this time of peace. Deciding that she wouldn't find her answer I. The mines she left.
She watched from afar as Zol and his troops protected the civilians from the Snagrets. The agony of the friends of the eaten, the relief in the eyes of those who were saved and the mirth in the laughter of those meeting up with ones they thought were also goners. She decided that she liked to help these people too. She gathered a group of Brown Pikmin she knew before the war to secretly help Zol during his Snagret campaign. Her group handled fights away from where the main hunting grounds was picking off Snagrets looking for a snack elsewhere. She felt the thrill of battle again along with the sense of satisfaction seeing the faces of those she saved. As the campaign came to a close she found out that she could finally relax, her conscious at peace. Now however there were rumors of a giant monster war brewing which threatened to destroy the world as she knew it. She gathered up her band ready to help fight these foes.
Valley sat down at Zol's table ready to ask to enlist after hearing that he's hiring anyone to help fight off this menace. As she was about to speak Zol locked eyes with her and she knew that he knew who she was. Wordlessly Zol nodded in agreement seeing that she had found her real resolve. Her followers also understood this interaction. With a nod they all with Zol headed out to the Base of Origin Wave with him ready to introduce the newest recruits.

(More RP filler!)
".... I see." , Zol replied to the report of a Snooping Snitchbug watching the battle. He turned his head to Tarsley the old Sage Pikmin Hunter Bulborb who ran the Outpost built by Zol.
" Alrighty ol pal Zol 5 more Crushblats and the same amount of Berserker Clawmads at 150 petals. Might I be asking when's the next battle due? You seem to be hiring many and I know it's not all for just giving charity."
Zol looked on at the mercenaries hanging around before answering," Well I just got word that I'll be facing an attack in nine days. The other armies suffered enough, it's time for me to take this fight by ourselves. Still wondering how to approach it... Hey, what mercenaries are going to be around in the next few days?"
Tarsley sighed before answering," Well we know we're going to have another drive to get Masterless Mushroom Pikmin out of here. Snooping Snitchbugs are also coming into play. Not going to like the next news I reckon, Long Tongued Swooping Snitchbugs and Dwarf Flying Armored Mawdad are there to make your life miserable I think."
Thinking on what to call in Zol closed his eyes in thought. Then he thought out a battle plan and asked," See if you can convince the Dwarf Venomoth Phosbats to be hired next as well as Mamuta Chuckers. That's all for now. I'm going to see if I can spot creatures from other armies today, maybe see a commander make a purchase seeing that I've somehow missed them every single time" Zol then sits at a table and watches Masterless Mushroom Pikmin trying to follow Dancer Pikmin in a game of one sided tag.

Abel suddenly runs in mumbling something about having no troops to do anything with. Abel comes over to Tarsley to ask him if he happened to have any small, agile units capable of flight.
"You might want to look at the winged claw pikmin." Tarsley tells him, looking at the weird lizard guy.
Abel looks pleased when he sees the winged claw pikmin's abilities, and hands Tarsley 150 petals.
"I vill take 100 of zese vinged claw pikmin, they are exactly what I need!" Abel walks out, his new mercenaries following him, chuckling to himself a little.

Zol watches Abel with his purchase and sighs muttering about half of the mercenaries exist to make his army's life a living hell. Tarsley heads over to Zol asking," Now are you sure that all elemental Pikmin were killed? They just seemed like really interesting fellows before they all blew up. Totally want some to join in Merc work - they'd liven up the place.
" Any elemental Pikmin are dead as far as I know. I've haven't looked too far dealing with the Snagrets for a long while but I'd expect at least one attempt on my life by them if they still existed. As for the new mechanical army - we both know you were about to ask about that - they aren't related to Bolt. Still can't get that through Valley's head - had to stop another attack attempt from her. She just isn't comfortable with machines" Zol watches as Valley starts a brawl tackling a Mechmin into a hole. A stray punch from another Mechmin that Valley dodged hits a Glowmin making a bright flash causing a Berserk Clawmad to drop his drink. He goes Berserk making the brawl grow even larger.
" 10 mountains of nothing on the Mamuta."
" You're horrible betting against your own troops.... I'll raise you another nothing mountain and putting it on the Shell Head"

Pik Gates walks through the doors, looking over the new possible hires.
"Well well, if it isn't Zol. I haven't seen you here before."
Just then, an attendant walks up to Pik Gates "Oh, it's you! care to see the wares sir? Would you like a drink perhaps?" He then whispers to Zol "This guy is our best customer. Seriously, he buys like 200 mercenaries every time he walks through that door! Where did you get him?"
Pik Gates politely ushers the Attendant away. "Not now, Fredrick. But I promise, I will be over there soon. I would like to talk to Zol."

Zol walks over to Pik Gate," Why hel-" Zol ducks under a thrown Dancer Pikmin then rolls to dodge the crowd of Masterless Mushroom Pikmin chasing after her thrower," Hel-", Zol jumps over a zap of electricity from the Dwarf Anode Beetles," Hi."
Zol looks around before continuing," Well I'm kinda surprised since I built the place, but then again the brawls here are fun." Zol picks up a Masterless Mushroom Pikmin and throws it at a diving Snooping Snitchbug knocking it off course," So it sounds like you have something to discuss?"

Pik gates watches amusingly as the brawl escalates. "Oh nothing urgent. I was just in the area and saw you were here as well. How goes your troops? I'm sure with all the recent conflict, they are getting restless."

" Preparing for a fight against Robo Bob. I'm hoping to avoid too many casualties but the reports I got from Sparky hints at secret weapons. I might not have a choice to hold back. By the way I'd you have any plans on saving those that don't want to fight?"

"Last night I lead a team of elite night blades to chaos' old base. We extracted chaos, Dillion,sparky, and moogle. Beyond that, you could utilize Phoenix wright's ability to make some of chaos troops realize what they are doing, and join the fight on your side. Also, I know what the secret projects chaos has been working on are... It's actually quite horrific. I need to tell you what they are, but not here... It's too dangerous."

"As in you have a place in mind? Alright, although I'll decline on Mr. Wright. Tons of area of effect damage in the next fight. I have no way to really protect him where he can do his job. When you're done with your business I'll follow."

"Oh, don't you worry. Phoenix does his thing before the battle even starts, then he leaves. But if you still don't want him, I understand. I'll send a night blade for you when I'm done here. Our meeting will take place in the conference room in my villa. It will be a closed door event. Only invite those who you feel need to know what has happened. The only other person I will invite personally is rumble."
Pik gates looks at Zol with intensity. "This is serious. You will not want to miss this meeting."
Gates looks over at Fredrick, who is anxiously waiting for him to hire mercenaries.
"Until later tonight. Fair well."

Abel comes in. He asks Tarsley about units that are capable of carrying and throwing things.
((Gonna need LW to control Tarsley here))

" Well my Lacerita friend we just got Mamuta Chuckers available right now. Special request from Zol to have them around so he could use the eggs from the Nectar village. Long Tounged Snitchbugs are potential throwers of light objects although I hear more success stories from giving them guns or Bazookas. They are also available as well. Can't say we have lifters for basic units however."

"Ah, zank you, the mamuta chuckers vill do nicely."
Abel hands him 150 petals for ten them, and heads out.
((Now that was fun. (those will work nicely with the blast berries)))
