"Such as the Fenrirs fear of swords. I've been in here with Jelena where she demostrated that."
He let the comment about him and Jelena slide fro teh moment, though raised his eyebrow at her.
"As for me and Jelena...I assure you I keep her satisfied."
That was all he was saying on that one.

Lillia glanced around and tried to imagine just what this room could become. Just about anything if she was thinking correctly. "What are the usual components this room takes on? The natural or as close to natural habitat of the Echo or more of a controlled enviornment?"
Oh yes, she was like a kid who'd just been let free in the toy store and told that she could have whatever seh wanted as long as seh grabbed it in a certain amount of time. What to open first? What to play wiht first? So many possibilities. Her hands fairly itched with the need to play.
"Implements? What kind?"

"They're supposed natural habitats. Often the looks of thier enclosures, or a more extreme of that. Sometimes somethign completely different all together that relates to the myths they are born from. But of course those are switched out for opposing habitats and what not, reactions to surrounds and such."
Then a walk over to a locker, coding it open. A showcasing the various items inside, it really looked like nothing more than a junk locker, filled with code lock cases with labels telling what they were. "Things in these lockers are thigns that are 'foudn in myths'. Objects made that didn't exist, or simple everyday onjects within myths. Nothing too frightening or dangerous really."

"Anything that can cuase fear, or a physical and psychological reaction in an echo is here."
Glancing back at Lillia.
"This is not a place for you to play in. hell, I doubt you can even handle it, seeing them like that."

Now playful jesting was fine in her book but when you got downright insulting she got upset. She glanced at James for a moment and shook her head staring at him with big blue eyes.
"Is that what you think? That I play with these Echoes? They mean a lot more to me than they ever will to you James. I can handle anything you can." It was not said fiercely, but quietly. She'd learned long ago not to fight back.
Oh god, she wasn't going to cry. She was not going to cry. She swallowed to hold back the tears, why was he being so hurtful? She stood there for a moment, then pretended her headband was out of place and fixed it, her composure regained, she stood there quietly. Once you insulted her she retreated and retreated fast.

Micah rolled his eyes. "What James means to say, and much more nicely I might add, Lilia, is that what we do to Echoes in here can sometimes be considered cruel. We put them in scenarios we know will affect them. They do get scared and sometimes vicious. Sometimes we have to sedate them to keep them from killing us."
A small shrug. "It's one of the reasons that Dr. Trevale tests the variants heself. Her and her team know how a normal echo will react from thier own testing but Variants are a whole other area, they could go absolutely feral on her or be docile as ever. She doesn't want anyone else to get her. Her saying goes 'Let it be only my fault and no one else's'."

"Exactly. I watched Neroh and the puppies cower and whimper and cry in fear while she tested thier fear of swords. It's not something I think you woudl be able to handle very easily, Lillia. you wouldn't be able to do that to the Echoes becuase you care as much as you do about them."
A glance at Micah.
"There are animals that even I wouldn't want to see suffer, and woudl have a hard time forcing such on them."

And that proved true. She did care a lot about them but she also knew that for the sake of science she had to seperate herself from her emotional side and let the scientist take over.
The way she'd done when she had to disect different animals over the years in biology class. She couldn't imagine the little pig growing up and running headlong into the mud, she'd simply let her quick, efficient brain take over. Just the way it did when someone attacked her. She shut down, immediately. It was pointless to fight just like it was pointless to cry over a pig. It had to be done and for the sake of science, she'd do it.
"Well...we'll see."

"Yes well, that's just how things must be done. Though Dr. Trevale stresses on the fact that after such tests, that lost bit of trust must be immediately gained back. Be it from pets or treats, or something else. Some type of positive 'apology gesture' must be given. If that means you get on your back in the dirt and expose your stomach to one, then hell you'll do it now won't you?"
There wasn't much to this place at all. "All programs you'd need to run are stored here." Hand on a cabinet by the computer, upon which he opened rows of disks could be seen, each nicely labeled. One had to wonder who was doing that or if Jelena could possible fathom organization. "Questions?"

"No questions here."
A glance at Lillia.
"And you need to get a bit more self esteem. I do alot of yelling and I speak my mind for the most part. and I doubt either of us wants you hiding in a corner half the time from something I say."

She would have done that anyway, if she had to upset an Echo she'd love on it afterwards and make it happy again. She understood why the animals had to be treated that way but she dind't ahve to like it and she'd be damned if she was going to. "I think I can handle that."
A simple glance at James, "My self esteem is fine thank you very much. I think I'm a very pretty blond with beautiful eyes, a nice figure and a very high IQ. I have a decent self image and you yelling is not going to change that. I don't hide in corners, I merely choose not to fight back. If that upsets you, I'm sorry."

Micah merely stared at them, exchanging looks between them a moment. Then he chuckled lightly, sighing and shaking his head. "And to think Dr. Trevale thinks you two can work competently together." Well...they could if they weren't so busy messing with each other and what not. Though he knew these two, when it was time to work, they would work.
"Well then, that's about it. Not much to it and she doesn't want to throw too many things at you. Though be advised she's prone to popping in and taking over at her own little whims. I'm sure though you both know that about Dr. Trevale though."
Sitting in her office she swivled her chair, looking at the ceiling. Ablinking light on the 'phone' was indication that it was on and of course on a speaker system. Convience was bliss.
"How's the pain been Jelena? I mean through the year since last and up till now?" Doctor Camp, Jelena's own private...'special'...physician. Curently diagnosing his patient as he waited at the damnable space port. Always so backed up and security had been as hellish as ever.
"The usual pain where it's always been, getting worse towards this time of the year, but it's been a little more intense lately. More so than ever. Things feel like they're trying to stick too."
"Well it was a low grade job with standard and basic of the basic equipment. Been five almost six years now...I would expect it all to be wearing out. This time depending on his everything looks we may consider updating or replacing."
Silence for a moment from her. "Do we really have to think about that?"
"You want to be able to walk don't you?"

"We'll be fine and dandy."
A glance at Lillia.
"blond, blues eyes..yes. nice figure? hmm. debatable. very high IQ? I doubt that one. and fighting back is half the fun."
A smirk and just becuase he could, mussed her hair abit.
"Shall we go to the good doctor and tell her that we've been though the routines, or do you have something you need us to be working on right now?"
The General was sitting in his desk, waiting. the hired tech that was to smuggle an echo out had failed, and he knew James was hot on the trail of finding out who was paying that price. not that it mattered. it was just a dummy corporation.
However, he was getting rather fed up waiting. he wanted to go in, guns blazing, and take James and the rest of that place down or bring it back into military control. But no, the government disallowed that. not without a reason to go up there in force. hence why he wanted the Echo. bring it down and cause a panic.
But as always, he obsession turned to James Moria. who was the reason he was in a metal body. the reason he'd been in vegtable practially for years and years. and he was going to do the same to him.

Micah rolled his eyes and took about herding the two out into the hallway. "You two act like a couple of third graders with a crush on each other." A little chuckle before he cleared his throat. "Now, last thing to remember is always lock the labs when you leave them. I guarentee you that Dr. Trevale will fuss you out for three hours on the importance of doing so."
A smile. "But you're free to go and do as you please now. It's my lunch break and I intend to take it. Stay out of trouble." That said Micah left them to thier own deivces to go get himself some lunch.
As she usually did when talking to someone she swivled in her chair again. "How...in depth would it be? And how long would I be down?"
The sounds on him tapping his fingers on something in his own thoughts. "Pretty high risk, just as it was before. Though with your medical history and personal health, anything going wrong in that matter is none of your worries. You'd only have to worry about operator error and I don't make mistakes. Though I'd say you'd be down for a good week or two."
"But I can't do that, you know the type of work I do, I'm already behind..."
"You know you have peons to do things for you and you have to take care of you first. You don't do anything it gets worse...I thought that was a motto in Fleet or something." A muffled annoucement in the background. "My flight is going now, I'll be up in a few hours. We'll decide thigns once I get a look at you, okay? Take care of yourself Jelena."
"ALright....you take care of yourself too." A click to signal he'd disconnected and she did the same before laying her head on her desk. Well this sucked.

James nodded, and left the Lab for Lillia to play in, and headed his way to see Jelena, maybe she wanted to get somethign to eat. Or he could cook for her, she liked his cooking. so a knock on her door, and waiting outside to be allowed in.
