"I'll believe that when I see it."
That was a groggy James, running his human hand through his hair and supporting himself with the biomechanical one. But he was sitting up, shirtless, and a couple of the female techs did linger in looking at him. Not that he paid any attention.
Jessica looked him over once, more of a coach looking at a star player than a woman oogling a good looking guy, before turning her attention back to Rennel. thinking a moment on his request.
"Alright, I'll let you bring someone with you for moral support. I don't think we'll have to worry about you fidgeting, as chances are you'll be put under for this kind of thing. it it was your M.A.T.U, I wouldn't worry about it, but your eye is delicate and of course the brain it's attached to as well. even a twitch might cause trouble during surgery. I take it your moral support is Roselyn?"

A laugh from him. "Then you best start believing because you'll be seeing it soon enough." He watched James rouse himself and rolled his eyes at the one who were looking at him like a piece of meat. Sometimes they could be just as bad as the guys could be about staring.
Attention back with Jessica however. "Yes, Rose bud said she would stay with me when I got it done." Well that was all nice and dandy. Didn't know how he liked the fact of being put under but he supposed it would all be fine. After all, he would have Rosey and of course Miss Best Of The Best Jessica. Insert joke out loud here. "Yeah, don't want to really be aware of anyone doing that kind of thing to me. Didn't want to be the first time don't want to be now." Then a look past Jessica to James. "How you feeling old man?"

"I would hope not. But you get me what I need and your wanted modifications and we'll have you setup and ready for operation in seventy-two hours as promised. Maybe when you bring Roselyn we cna have someone take a look at her ankle, see if her blade is still working normally. I really hope it's not somethign with that lunatic's high usage of nano's for maintenance."
Jessica moved back with the rest of the team, a few words to the girls and some to the guys, mostly telling people not to stare and thanking them for a job well done and thier help. James got himself up and flexed his metal arm, turnign his hadn and flexing the fingers, extending and retracting the cannon. everything working as it should, more memory, and increase in overall storage and power.
"Feeling just fine, Rennel, no problems at all..just a little groggy from the anesthetic. Nothing to worry about."

"Good luck at getting her to let you and I'm not going to force her into it either. After all that's not my job." But a nod to Jessica as she went to tell off or congratulate her team and then he focused his attention on James as he was waking up.
Of course he found it absolutely wonderful that he could crack a joke at this precise moment and it involved James. "Only a little groggy? Oh...I guess the infection hasn't really set in yet. Oh but don't worry, you'll just be a little happier is all." Infection...of Rennell's nanomachines. Sure, they really couldn't affect personality, but he liked to mess with old Moira.

"Infection, what in the blue blazes are you talking about."
He stretched, bones cracking some in his back but one of the young girls could verifiably be drooling to see the muscles play on James, which got a thwap from Jessica. they weren't here to oogle men, they were here to fix bioware.
"So have you decided what you are going to do with that eye of yours, Rennel?"
Okay so that kind of joke was lost on someone who took everything pretty much seriously. ALthough he did get a look for a moment, the 'wait a minute..what are you even doing here' look..before shaking his head of such things. he should be glad rennel even knows how to get here sometimes.

Rennell stared at him a little before just letting out an exasperated sigh. "Of course that would fly right over your head Moira." He waved a hand in a dismissive gesture and then scoffed as James was just oogled more.
"Yeah I have actually. Jessica there is going to give me a custom job. I plan on keeping close to my original design and just have more fancy parts in it to compensate. Maybe enable some sort of targeting function thats compatible for my gun, just because I can."

"Good. Jessica is the best in the field. all of my team are. hand selected them to come onboard."
A smile over at Jessica, who smiled back and nodded, before turning his attention back to Rennel, finding his shirt to put on.
"So why are you here..don't tell me you were worried about me. I know you better than that. You and Rose both woudl love to see me gone form here and no longer harassing you about your appointments and such."

"Ah, BS Moira. You know it just wouldn't be the same without you around to harass us young ones on board." He gave a laugh then sobered a little, still sitting cross legged on that stool. "Well I had come looking for you, mainly to thank you for the disks, they helped. But they kicked me out. Turns out though that there was too much bioelectricity or something or other with your upgrades."
Another shrug, he hadn't really been listening too hard. "And well they wanted to use some of the nanomachines in my blood to put into you to fix the problem a bit. So you are infected with Rennell nanos, enjoy."

James looked at him and smirked lightly.
"someone has to keep you in check. As for your..infection. my immune system can handle your sunshining little nanos in my system. They'll be converted easily. numbers tell, after all."
Though a bit more somber look.
"Bioelectrical feedback I think is what your getting at. my particular augments create a lot more than a human body should have, the nano machines regulate it for me."
Another small grin.
"Though I guess I owe you dinner or something on Radiance for your help. it takes weeks to generate those things, I appreciate not having to be in a coma for that time."

"Oh sadness. Poor little buggers are going to be turned into trusty little soldiers with no fun time to ride the blood at all." And yes he put a little more drama in the sad expression he had then was needed. Then a laugh from him as well as he lightened up, legs dropping off the stool to lean forward with this elbows on his knees.
"I don''t do Radiance..." A little miffed looked...God he really was limited to where he could go wasn''t he. But Radiance was different, not that he wasn''t allowed, he just found it too crowded and when you had wings on your back, crowds weren''t fun. "We''ll work out something for you to do for me. Deal?" Then a smile and nod. "But really, I have so many of those stored up for my MATU function that it''s really nothing, just being helpful."

"Deal."
That out of the way, James checked out his cannon, and gave rennel a small grin.
"You been to the firing range recently..or have you given up trying to match my accuracy yet?"
Then the cannon retracted, and he gave a nod to the team, and left teh room, on his way to the shooting range, nothing was nicer than blowing massive holes in moving targets after an operation. Of course military training gave him a great skill at teh moving targets, and he had an average of ninety-nine percent accuracy even on the accelerated course. Soon he had hoped to get the VR set so that targets woudl have some AI and make it harder to manveur and tag them.

Rennell rolled his eyes as James left. "I have better things to do than trying to break records." And he knew exactly what too. Walking from the room he walked briskly down the hall to a transporter to get over to the Envision cruiser. Now...to just find a away to get back far enough back within the project to get hold of Rosey.

James, after again dealing with Catalyst and telling them due to recent upgrades he was going to have to hold off on thier experiments until his body better adjusted, was back again on at Project Echo. He had gone first to lillian's room to ask her if she'd wanted to visit the echoes, as he was sure the doctor was through by now, but she hadn't been there. so he was heading to Trevale's office, figuring she was probably there trying to sort through the mess that the doctor liked to keep everything in.

"Did she give you back your PAID tag to get back there yet?"
Rennell toed the ground and procrastinated a moment, a bit fidgety. "No."
"Well then there's your answer Rennell. I'm sorry, but that's the deal. And I have a new Echo that I would not like to expose to you today, things are kind of hectic what with Lilia shipping back to Earth and all."
"But Dr. Trevale, it's important that I talk to her and-"
She cut him off with a gesture. Sure enough the doctor was very irritated and had a short fuse right now. Not an often occurrence but it happened from time to time, often stress was the cause. "Then leave her a note Rennell and I'll see that she gets it."
"I don't have time to wait in line for you to do things, or compete with Echoes for your attention." Okay, sunshine was getting dim as he himself was starting to get irritated.

"shipped back to earth? what you didn't like her trying to organize this mess? and you, Rennel. you got time, and that time should be spent getting Jessica the customizations you want done on your eye, not chasing after the Echoes. I'll keep an eye out for Roselyn as well and if I see her I'll direct her to you."
Had to be roselyn he was after, James new she had his P.A.I.D...he'd offered to take it but the Doctor told him no becuase he'd probably never see it again. and she had probably been right.
"I stopped by Lilian's room, she wasn't in thought she'd be here, was going to see if she wanted to see your new echo. did she really ship back to earth?"
