"But I-" Of course Adam was going to say something that was hopefully going to get him out of the mess he seemed to have gotten himself into, but he was interrupted by Lillia who decided to help him out by explaining a few things. When she was finished Adam just gave a small nod and said, "Sorry," to Jelena. When that disaster was avoided Adam went back to eating as he looked at the window, it was odd seeing it focused on the beach setting, but then again one could look out into space only so many times before getting bored. But when he heard about Lillia's cleanliness he turned to her with a small chuckle. "Well if you like to clean so much then be glad we're not back on Earth. You would have a heart attack if you were to see my house. Still, sometimes I feel like disorganization is the best for of it, if you know where everything is. But it is like an adventure, and can be rewarding."

"Muse all you want. I refuse to be an appartment for another human being." Giving a sniff to that notion. Not one she fancied, besides she had way too many other things to worry about let alone taking care of another human being that was totally helpless. At least animals came with instincts. "And I'm already in enough rumors as it is with Earth. I hardly need more." Still being indignant however, "My bite is pretty bad. I didn't torment myself in a dentist's chair getting my teeth fixed from Robo-b*****d to not use them for such things.
"See, she admits I haven't corrupted her. The fumes of the amount of cleaning products involved may very well put her in a coma though." However he pointed a fork at the both of them. "And I know I'm going to regret this question, but why is she wearing a flight suit?"
Rennell passed a worried and relieved smile at Lillia. He couldn't help it, it freaked him out and Jess always yelled at him, even if it was in a good way. It was all just a stressful process....and the thought of her dismanteling him and him being without the MATU system that helped regulate his blood clotting abilities, maybe for a few days even, was just terrifying. "Thanks..."
"You mean some of you actually keep connections? When I officially signed on here I swear I got the third degree like a child about such things. Should I even ask?" Though he could probably throw his name around some too.

"Hey it was just a thought, not that I'd want to strap down a child of mine to a study table."
a grin at Jelena and putting an arm about her shoulder.
"Just think though, they may see you being pregnant as you finally giving up on your 'mad doctor' thoughts. then they'd leave you alone."
before grinning lightly at Eric.
"She's in a flight suit because she's a certified pilot and we just got back from my first flight with her."
"James was well respected in his own circles in the military. people that worked with him, or under him, respected him a good deal. and unlike most of us, James was here as part of the original military applications, so he never got the 'looney doctors and scientists' stigma that came frankly with Jelena's acceptance."
going over some peices of the bioware with the proverbial fine tooth comb, extracting peices and parts that might prove useful in other areas..
"and he gathered a lot of respect with a lot of R&D folks when he volunteered to have his arm amputated for his bioware. I mean he doesn't go out of his way to be friendly or keep contacts, but there are people who still keep him informed from time to time and he's got a couple of old wartime buddies that have moved on to more sensitive places."

Chuckling, she leaned back in her chair and shrugged. "Cleaning products don't bother me anymore than Echo smells do." She blinked in surprise at the new information and then clapped her hands with glee. "You're a pilot, Jelly! How come you didn't tell anybody that?" Because not even Eric knew and that man knew everything.
Adam's comment made her frown. "Adventure? No, it's a habit that's guaranteed to melt me into a puddle of sadness. And a sad Lillia is a scary thing."

Was the doctor still telling him about her bite? Looks like it, and Adam had already apologized but it seemed he had to sit through it. "Well then I don't think we would want to ruin them." Seemed that the scientists up here were a little on edge. And then he had to face Lillia who was frowning over his comment about his place and how messy he was, and he had to wonder if people lost their sense of humor when up here. But then again he had pet peeves that could easily make him mad if poked at anyway. "Well then you don't have to worry, because since I'm living here I'm going to try and keep my sleeping quarters and work place clean so I don't forget where things are." Adam then grabbed his drink and took a good swing of it, ice tea was amazing when one didn't have it for quite some time.

“No, they would see it as me creating hell spawn to carry on my work because I haven’t yet figured out immortality for myself yet.” Grinning however at the look that crossed Eric’s face. “That’s right, they actually let me fly thing that who knows what I can do with.” A nonchalant shrug though she did give a smile at the excitement the news seemed to produce. “Because I was busy being jealous of you all working so I had to do something with my free time when no one was babysitting me?”
“A sad Lillia is like a truckload of kicked and sad crying puppies. That proceed to devour you for mistreating them.” There was an image if you ever needed one.
“Jena is just outspoken.” Which accounted for why she took a lot of flack. She wasn’t the little scientist who backed down and hid in the basement. You were always targeted when you wouldn’t back down from something. The sad thing was that the idiots who thought that way were too blind to see what she was capable of doing now and how they would benefit from it if they gave it a look.
Finishing up one form he moved to another, his eyes never leaving the screen but still able to carry on a perfectly involved conversation. “Respect does that for people. They can care less how you look or what you do and forgive anything as well, if they respect you. But I suppose it’s good to have such things them. We may have to call in all the help we can get.”

It never took long to settle back into a routine and Lillia hummed to herself as she carried the bucket of feed to the dragons. She enjoyed taking care of the Echoes and Jelena just seemed to really, really enjoy splicing and creating. Lillia couldn't blame her though. Finishing up with the dragons, she moved on to the Cerberus and played with her for a few minutes, keeping an eye on her movements adn how she was progressing.
Early morning...things would be moving along really soon.

Adam was happy, after a week of having to go through training, and getting some of his stuffed cleared through that man Eric told him to go to, he had finally gotten the clearance to go to work. So after waking up and getting his tool bag, Adam was ushered by one of the older techs there to work on fixing some areas of the ship since it was best for him to actually get to know the place inside and out before going on to more serious work.
As Adam was left by himself to stare at the inner workings of the ship he was humming to himself as he rummaged through some wires. He knew he had to be careful since he didn't want to cause any problems so he was just moving the wires carefully and inspecting a few fuses that were burn out. As he went at it he came across a fuse that confused him, it looked like it was dead, but he wasn't too sure about it. "Well, better to be safe than sorry." And so he reached out, grasped the fuse, and pulled it out. Right after he pulled out the fuse and pulled himself back out of the hole, all the lights suddenly shut off. Adam blinked and looked around as he could hear the ship powering down. "Aw...son of a b***h." Suddenly he saw his tools starting to float. Well, there went the gravity.

She about had a fit when things started floating, messing up what she was doing, including her. Red lights and back up generators kicking in made her sigh. "Hello! I can't gene splice in the dark Catalyst!" Let along without gravity. "Not to self...need more velcro." More or less yelling at the air to vent. It was the beginning of that week where she usually locked herself away in her room with drugs. Having neither drugs or privacy though and with vast amounts of encouragement she was trying to focus on this cerberus thing. Power outage was not helping. Pushing away from her computer she let zero gravity do her moving, stretched lightly and got out into hall after forcing the door open. "Honestly, come on...Guess who just reached her limit for the whole damn day! Her initials are JNT!"
"Soon as you finish feeding those things, come help move Cerberus. You know she liked to chew on James." That was thier goal for the day, move teh big doggie and keep Jelena in as good a mood as she could be in as well. Which wasn't going to be long seeing as she was yelling as power shut down and backup came on, Eric kicking his boots together to activate the gravity chips in them. "Hell..."
"Thank you Catalyst." Lucky for him, or unlucking in some opinions, power down across Fleet, unsheduled at that meaning someone messed something up at Catalyst, meant that Jessica was stalled from wanting to do whatever it was that she wanted to do. He wasn't ready but she was and often it only mattered what Jessica thought in these cases. Excuses were fun.

Jessica was asleep at her desk, tools in hand and various parts scattered around her, but a nice shiny pair of metal birdwings up on display on the table next to her with wirings and tubes hanging off it that obviously go inside the body...micro clamps and nano cores for dispersal of the nifty little microscopic machines. when power went down, generators kept everything were it was supposed to be, while a sleeping jessica just glided around still sleeping.
James was up, dressed, and in Jelena's kitchen, cooking her breakfast and keeping things in order while she was starting to work and he'd try to keep her in a good mood when the pancake he flipped didn't come back down and a slight grumble before boots coming to play and grabbing the pancake out of the air and putting it back on the pan...before sticking the whole thing in the oven to keep it relatively in one spot.

Jelly's anger had her snickering because it was just amusing. "What if you're not the only one with those initials, Jelly?" Because it was possible. There was another LAN onboard as well though Eric had been quick to tease her about being a non-wireless connection. She'd merely rolled her eyes at that.
And this is obviously why she should always be wearing grav boots. Eric's appearance meant saving her and she reached out and linked her arms around his neck to keep her from floating off. "Those things have names, Eric. ID numbers, to be exact." Clinging to him. "Don't you dare make me let go. If you do, I'll come back down and do something awful to you....like kiss you and make you cry!"

"The probability that I am is at least 90% up here!" Called out and echoing off of the walls to her assistants. She would turn on her grav boots, but frankly her back was hurting her and she really didn't want to walk right now. Floating/swimming was just fine for her right now. "I'm going back to my room and smothering myself into unconciousness...." Stupid people, not letting her have drugs. Even if she was hurting. It was just mean.
He blinked as he suddenly became an anchor. "Wires, how many times do I have to tell you to wear those boots. No they aren't fashionable but they do their job when such things as these happen. " No he wasn't going to let that joke go yet. Tech humor was fun. "Kiss me and make me cry...how is that supposed to work again? Come on." Starting to walk and more or less dragging Lillia through the air after him.

"Says you. I thought I was the only LAN too." Calling that out cheerfully before she was being bounced around as Eric strolled off. "At least ten more times. I just forget and before you say anything, I did make a sticky note for it." Walking was not so grand a few moments later as she was banged against him like a bobbing kite. "Hey! Your bony shoulder is jabbing my boob!" Twisting and shifting, she finally managed to scootch around and cling to his back, wrapping her legs around his waist to further anchor herself.
"Jelly's being a grouch..." But Eric was her main concern right now. "I...bite? Or maybe I didn't brush my teeth yet and you'll be forced to endure a stinky-breath kiss. That would make anybody cry."

When jessica woke up, she was not happy. not happy at all. but things that needed to stay put were staying put and if rennell thought this was getting him out of his surgery he was out of what little mind he had. so clicking on her boots and dropping to the floor, grabbing tools out of the air to put them in their storage for times like these. and lord help him if she found out Rennell had caused this.
James walked into the labs, noting Jelena up in the air but didn't say anything. her back had been giving her some trouble so she was probably using the zero grav to relive some back stress.
"So. who wants to pin this on the new guy?"
casually placing his arms behind his back, though snagging jelena's leg when she tried to go by.
"No drugs, Camps orders. and that also means no going back to bed for you, either. it's a work day. as soon as we get power back."

"Your squishy boob is suffrocating my shoulder." Giving a laugh as she moved herself about as he kept walking, eventually latching herself to him like a barnacle. But he gave a light shrug. "It's that time of year." That was all he had to say about his best friend before his attention was back on her. "Some people are into that kind of junk you know, right? No matter what you think, there will always be someone in the world that is into that kind of stuff."
"Whoever it is, I don't know whether to shake their hand or hit them with somethign heavy. Messed up my splice..." More or less backstroking her way through the air past him until he grabbed hold of her that is. Wrinkling her nose at him she crossed her arms. People got addicted to pain killers for a reason. He knew that personally but that didn't change the fact that she still hated this all the same. She could say she was clean all she wanted, but yeah she'd jump right back on the drug boat if she could. "Yeah yeah I know. Don't play daddy." Jelena gave a protesting noise however. "But I hurt, I'm frustrated, and someone is going to get smothered with something by the time this day is over."
