Welcome to Gaia! ::

He let rose throw her tantrum, as he called it, and then turned his attention to Mr.Sunshine and Flowers.

"At least you understand. It's Roselyn that gives me the most concern. unlike your modification, her's are far more extensive and he looks like she was designed for combat. last thing is for her to have a malfunction and become an emotionless killing machine. becuase if that happens, I will put her down if I must. and I don't want to risk that scenario even remotely coming into reality."

Then he got up, thanking the engineers, and left himself, moving to his quarters and plugging himself into teh main systems, with a little backdoorign, got his red lensed eye into the security cameras, looking for the new assistant, as he said he would.

She took the treats and held them out, the Kitsune moving over to her. She resisted the urge to reach out adn stroke them. How many times had she observed animals in their natural habitats and seen what killers they could be. She knew everythign Jelena was telling her but let it go.

"I do understand Dr. Trevale. All animals can be unpredictable at times, though I haven't had a problem yet. I'll be careful though." She laughed as a Kitsune licked her hand for crumbs and then stood as well and nodded to Jelena. "What's next?"

"And if you were wondering...Hoshi." A point to a rather small little kitsune with only eight tails who was sitting at the back of the little group of kitsunes. But then she left the enclosure, waiting for Lilia to exit the pen before closing the door, it automatically locking.

"Moving on." A gesture to follow again. Lilia would be led to various enclosures that held Echos. All the pens of ones with wings seemed to extend upward quite a bit, but couldn't be seen very well due to a sort of second floor look. She'd attend to that later. Lilia would see things such as phoenix, pegusai, hippogriffs, griffins, fenrirs, dragons, even leviathans, all of some lore or myth base. But they were all rather obscured by the thick horizontal bars for security.

"Don't worry about trying to see. I'm just letting you glance right now. But now to see and as questions." Up a flight of metal stairs, about thirty feet up to a suspended metal catwalk that mazed the whole place. This allowed observance into each pen and allowed clear view of them all and their sizes.





"Don't agree with him, you'll make me sad." And a pout to that before he hung on her and smiled once more. "But of course dear Rose buddy. Who could possibly get past my sunshine to get to you? Hm? Who? Who?" Ah yes, that was a good point to argue, that was for sure.

"So...can I be in Echo now? Now? Now? Now?

"what!?" the shirll voice of Dr. Lorean Black called form behind a closed door in the metamorphosis lab" You broke it again?!" The diminutive scientist was standing before a much larger man, poking him in the chest with two fingers his face beat red, eyes bloodshot from lack of sleep. " This is the third time this moth Jack!"

"Sorry doc, but what could i do?" The taller man replayed with a helpless shrug, looking down to his limp left arm and wincing. The 'skin' was pealed back and singed in many places, revealing quite clearly the scratched and burned metal undercoating.

" Mind your own damn business!" The doctor hollered back, turning form him and pacing back and forth for a few short moments before hustling over to his desk. picturefraims, books, pencils, papers and many unfinished schematics lay strewn about on top. The short bald scientist sifted threw the mess for a few moments before retrieving a black leather bound case and turning around with a helpless smile on his aged face" well..." He asked" What are you waiting for, sit down" He commanded moationing to the chair behind the other man.

Jack looked slowly form Dr. Black to the char for a moment before flashing him a smile and sitting, propping his damaged appendage up on his lap with his other arm. " I owe you one" he said jokingly as the doctor moved over and knelt opening up the case and revealing the many polished instruments inside.

The short man huffed pulling out a long curved needle and pressing it deep within a path of soft, undamaged skin." you owe me alot more then one" He breathed as a small panel opened in the cybernetic appendage, just below the wrist. The doc carefully removed the hook and slowly went to work tweaking fried circuits and replacing damaged wires. " what the hell did you do to this ting Jack?" He asked expecting some outrageous answer.

Jack gave a small shrug and got a slap on the knee and a "hold still" In response. " It got some electricity ran threw it" He said with a small chuckle.

The doctor mumbled a few choice words under his breath but continued to work on the arm. Tho he would never admit it he found his friends antics quite intertwining, and actually enjoyed repairing the equipment that he broke.

Lillia followed along behind and looked in each and every pen. She knew that all echos here were myth based, creatures that most believed did not exist. She also knew that a lot of them were dangerous, but it did not kill her curiosity or her enthusiasm.

Walking up onto the catwalk, she walked to teh railing and looked out, her eyes resting on each cage and then she turned and asked, "How many echos do you have? And what are you trying to do with them exactly? Simply observe them and see how they react, what is normal and not?"

She smiled. Jelena sounded like a proud mother who had just seen her little baby take his first step. She looked out over the compound and whistled. "It's quite a place." Blue eyes gazed out over it once again. "It makes sense to me. All animals, whether created or not should be able to just live. As long as it's relatively natural and close enough, I think that it's wonderful."

So she was having trouble with the dragons. Lillia made a mental note to check the dragons genetic code and see if maybe she might be able to help.

Hundreds of questions floated through her mind but she glanced at her watch and said, "Actually Dr. Trevale if it's not too much trouble I'd kind of like to adjust to just being here. It's been quite a day for me and I think it might be best if I don't venture into any of that. Can I have a day to collect my thoughts before I start pelting you with questions?"

Then she looked over at Jelena, "I do have one that's rather pressing though. Who is allowed to actually create these echos?"

Jame's eyes kept searching. flipping through rooms, until he got to the Echoes. no one else in anyplace a new assistant woudl go, but he knew the 'grand tour' always ment showing off teh Echoes. and unfortunatly, he coudln't just crakc into that. we too securced for his little hacker abilities. which made his utter a curse word or two, since that ment to meet the new assistant ment going into the Echo holding cells.

But he got hijmself up, put on a new outfit. shortsleeve black shirt, and military camoflague pants. he wore the artic pattern, it blended in better. Then off to see the Echoes and meet the new assistant, adn then try to convince them to take on the task of cleaning up after the other two.

Lillia shook her head and watched Jelena go to help her other assistant. She leaned on the railing and shook her head. Dangerous creatures, fenrirs. Sighing softly, she turned and walked back down the metal stairs onto the lower level. Now to figure out just how to get back to her room so she could settle in.

She started retracing the steps that Jelena had taken her through and finally ended up back in the office she had somehow stumbled onto. This was much better indeed. Then she went out into the hallway and looked all around. How the hell was she going to navigate this ship?
