Welcome to Gaia! ::

A chuckle.

"Always a possibility. though I know she cna be organized. have you seen teh lab she construct teh DNA in? spotless. not one bit of mess or disorganization. So she can do it. we just gotta get her to do it out here."

He patted her on teh shoulder with his bioware hand, and moved back over to Erik.

"all the weapons were recalibrated, and I still have some plasma rifles available for key crew or security heads if things do get out of control here. I've got my own equipped weapon, and I can get you the handheld plasma cannon if you need it. so where do you have patrols and what intervals. need to see if there's any key place we're overlooking."

"Okay we can get that arranged."

A moment of thought.

"That sounds good. they are armed, correct? none of that bullshit of taser rods or any of that crap. they have guns, correct? we should also position at least two sets of three if we can on Raidiance. and another set of two at the main docking bay at least. jsut some light coverage there to keep them calm, show them we're looking out for them as much as the science personnel if we're not already. Get Joey to do an information lockdown. don't let any news about the military coming up or about then talking of shutting projects down into fleet, except to project leaders and raidance leadership. agian, no need to cause general panic."

Oh he coudln't help it. he just had to do it. and he gently shooed erik back with a grin, and plugged himself into teh computer, and was going to wait for the squealing form the other lab when the screens on her ODDS went black, with just one white line in teh middle, that moved like a sound wave, adn in the creepiest, distorted voice he could make with the system.

"We control the horizontal."

then teh lines went vertical.

"We control the vertical."

Then static.

"For the next half hour, we will control all that you see, and hear.."

then they went black, and slowly faded to white.

"As we take you from the inner mind to...the Outer Limits!"

"Just one more thing jellybean."

Now if there was another way to get a real rise out of her, he didn't know it. he used his system access to get to the one in his room, and to a certain strip of pictures from his old military days. and in each odds screen, a different picture woudl flare, of james, when he was all human, in a little string bikini bottom, all oiled up, striking poses at a bodybuilder contest apparently being held on the military base.

Of course, nevermind that to get him to sign up for that his buddies had gotten him so drunk that he never remembered doing it nor agreeing to let them pick out his compettion outfit. but it had all been in good fun and he'd come in second. Soem thought the winner, with whom there was very little real difference as far as mass and definition, was sleeping with one of the judges.

He grinned, and waiting for Jelena's reaction to that. of course only see saw that, nothign came up on teh actual computer screen.

Well he wasn't expecting laughter, but hey, it put her in agood mood with all the bad news so that was fine. though the look from Erik was priceless.

"what? do you want what she got too?"

After unhooking himself from teh system, since it gave him that errie robotic echoing sounding voice.

"Comes with the bioware. everyone had little..quirks after that particular surgery. For example, the girl with teh early MATU unit suddenly became very religious. Myself, I became overly fascinated with skematics and mechanics. mostly due I think to my ability to override them or interact with them ona bioware interface."

Though he did notice Erik's figditing.

"If you are so uncomfortable as FS, why'd you take the position?"

"You wanted to ancient west, didn't you. gunfights, chasing down teh criminals, making the big busts and getting a famous name like legends wyatt earp, or doc holiday...facing criminals the likes of jesse james or billy the kid."

A grin at him.

"and now here you are, FS head, with more degrees in biotechnology then criminology."

Then a glance at the back.

"And what is she up to?"


"Alright. lets see if it works."

The Lazerus project was completed again, a powerful, state of the art robotic body with a thin muclse and skin overlay..most just to get past people from freaking out at a robot with a human brain...dress in army officer's uniform. plugs had been insterted, programs running, fiberoptics feeding information. these were all unplugged, one at a time, and check to see fi there was any major screwups.

"I still think this is a very bad idea."

"Just shut up about it already. for the love of god, shut up. it's done, and if it works, we are set for life."

All teh wires came out, and the table the project was strapped on to raise to a standing position. the eyes opened, narrowed...focused. dark brown, with only the pupils raidiant red at tiems as the thign took in surroundings, monitoring, recording.

"General Matthew Greenwell Norrington...can you understand me, and hear me?"

The voice was cold. even in flesh, it had been...and of course the voice program had used actualy recordigns of speeches he made to get his voice right.

"Yes."

"How are you feeling?"

"Vengeful."

"Well if she wants to work, then let her work. there's two projects I've got personal interest in that raidance has allowed work on becuase well..bad things will happen to them if they don't."

A small grin, and plug into the computer again, to talk to her ODDS.

"Jellybean, dear, whiel your not playing with anything, can you tell me teh status on Cerebus or the Hydra strain?"
