Welcome to Gaia! ::

She only laughed at that. "Sorry, I don't care to be one of you fine biomechanical wonders. I mean look at my office, I would be in trouble if I had to take care of myself more than I already do." A shrug. "I should just set up an appointment with Doctor Fein. That usually helps." Jelena shook her head and then seemed to gain that concerned look a moment as she rolled information around in her head.

A gesture to James for him to follow her as she took to the enclosures inner catwalks that lined the entire pen. Not only from the height they were at could one see Fenrirs indeed stalking down prey and jumping it but also being quite efficient about it with more noise than was necessary. She would of taken more interest in it, but she had cameras to record all that and study later, and James had mentioned her weakness.

Mention an injured Echo, even from over all natural behavior and you had one worried Jelena on your hands. Where was she going? Well she was making her way over to the section of habitat where the beasts had chosen to make there den. Why? Concern of course....but also because Neroh was a Variant and that meant there was also something bigger as to cause of things than simple instinctual behavior.

"Sure, that will be most helpful not to mention faster then accessing the database myself." Okay so she had to admit his hacking was good for something. Walking down a catwalk exit she stepped into the grass and looked toward the cave structure that served as the den. "Neroh! Come out here!" Yes, the Variants all knew their names. And whether they did or not all the Echoes were keen to Jelena's voice and were often quick to come just because. But that didn't mean she had them trained to her. Yes, the one woman brave enough to step in without fear of any sorts.

Sure enough bright eyes peered from the darkness only to be followed by a gray furry head, with ears that were rather elongated compared to the others of his kind. A weary look around before he trotted over, overshadowing Jelena with his size. Shortly followed by the two he was watching though, happy as any puppy may be, especially over something new to sniff at that they didn't constantly get to. They almost matched Jelena in height already.

She let them sniff at her, lick, n**, pull and tug at her jacket and the like. Didn't mind at all. But as she let them play she went about inspecting Neroh in the places James had first indicated to her, feeling through thick fur. Usually when there was a serious injury she would immediately isolate the Echo.

She nodded at the passed down information as she had been circling the Echo, a mere injury check going into a full scale once over on the creature. "I'm surprised frankly. I know wolves often have pup sitters but the alpha female before seemed dead set on being the only one to watch them." Half her mind said that she was bored and wanted to stretch her legs...the other half was staring to go into a long babble of the behavioral change. Good lord it was a wonder she didn't burn her though out.

A shrug and a pet to his big wet nose. "Go on now, and take these little bitters with you." She had to actually detach one's jaws from her coat and then shoo away another as Neroh went about herding them both back into the den. Brushing her jacket off she turned and took the stairs back up to the catwalk and to James. "Sometimes I wonder if I should separate Variants completely, but I know that would just be cruel." A smile to James. "Thank you James, but do remember to not access the cameras in my room, kindly." A very old running joke.

She just laughed and shook her head. "Not to me, put tape over the cameras in my room." Yes, there were cameras in every room of every fleet cruiser. It was a security/safety measure. Jelena had tuned the ones in her labs to be out of focus so they couldn't read information. Yes, she was a bit paranoid. "Come on, let's let them continue on."

She slipped passed him, leading the way around the enclosure and back to the entrance/exit door, hitting in codes and another swipe of her tag to get them both out. Then back up to the higher catwalks. "Anything else you wish to see in here James or shall we go about more mundane things?" For a moment she stopped and leaned on the railing.

From their vantage point, she merely scanned over the areas, laughed lightly as a dragon snapped at Erik and he felt back to the ground. They were all harmless really, the Echoes. They would be until someone taught them to be used as weapons. But if Jelena had her way that would never happen. Then another laugh and a look to James. "Believe me, Catalyst doesn't need you to cut power to the Fleet, they can do that all by themselves."

Pushing off the railing she took to walking again this time in stride with James rather than leading. No need to talk over her shoulder at him. "I think it's you who needs a day off rather than me, Mr. Military Man." She rested her hands in the pockets of her lab vest. "Care to accompany me to Radiance to see what slander the Earthen science circle have to say about me?"

Another laugh, covering her mouth in one hand in a rather lady like gesture, another one of her quirks. "Now now James, don't spread lies. Everything snaps at Erik, not just the bigger things." And that was the truth, even the fluff ball Kitsunes snapped at him.

She sighed as she stepped down the catwalks making the journey to and then out of her office with James, walking the cruiser hallways to the nearest transporter. "Seems we're all out casted up here. Though I rather like it that way, I'm not a good conformist." A slight shrug. "I doubt I'd be any better off than you in the job world James. I'd probably be called a lunatic or that I have a 'God complex'. Oh wait...that's what they already say about me."

"Poor excuse for the way they treat us. Part of the reason that I stay away from Radiance as much as I can. But I have to make my appearance sometimes. My reports require me to, if I want any news involving things on Earth i have to. It's all a bunch of obligation for being a Project leader. Pity Lilia is gone or I'm sure I would of sent her." A step into a transporter and a punch of buttons till both were on the bustling Radiance in the blink of an eye.

Crowded as always. Almost looked like a replications of the old New York in the way it was crowded. Minus cars and the like. More of like a giant crowded mall of sorts. But Jelena knew where she was going and she walked there without much thought to the people other than James. Frankly she was glad he had come, she hated going to Radiance alone. But now a look to a familiar face. "Hello Joey."

"Dr. Trevale, how are you doing today? Lovely as ever I see." A smile at her with his compliments before he ventured to the back of his own little shop and came back with a stack of various bound papers. "All your regulars." He gave her a wink then looked to James. "Anything for you Mr. Moira." Yes, he knew a lot of people even if they didn't know him and if you wanted a magazine or any media of information, he was the man to go to.
