He had just opened his mouth to give one of his long speeches when the poking comment took the wind out of his sails and he closed his mouth with a smirk.
"Yes they do. especially with Roselyn. the techs are becoming increasingly concerned with her. particularly about her blade retractions and exentions. some are worried she's going to need a system overhaul. the bioware she's got wasn't the best to begin with and it's really starting to show some age."

A slight look of victory from the doctor before she sobered up a little. "Really now? She hasn't mentioned anything to me about things like that. Then again that isn't my field. But she is classed in my Project Division first, thus her location base. I'll take a look at her if you want, she fairly comfortable with me over your techs I believe. Besides, I have an Echo that's about a day or two from waking and it's got her name on it."

"It worries me too, Jelena. She keeps herself locked away, and she doesn't associate with anyone really but Rennell. hell she runs away or avoids me at all costs. And your right, it's not your field, but maybe you can see if her body's feeling any extra strain? any pains or the like? I don't want to lose someone else because of an equipment failure, as teh government puts it."
He shook his head.
"There are times I wonder if she's trying to let it go that way. Rennell says she'd never do something like that..but I'm not so sure sometimes."

"I would have to agree with Rennell on that. I mean, I have spent my fair share of time with her. Despite what's she's been through, she seems well adjusted, cheerful usually. She only seems to get depressed when her mind is left idle too long." Jelena took on the business scientific appearance to her.
"From what I've managed to get out of her, she wants to avoid your techs and you because the fact that she wasn't done here in Fleet. Her creator knew her inside and out, what does what how long what lasts and the like. She trusted him to keep her alive and well. Now that she's separated from him she worries about others that don't know her well working on her. Even if they do have her schematics.

"She needs to learn she doesn't have a choice. she's shouldn't even be. That man was a lunatic. and it's not like we don't have a crew as capable, or more so. and a wider array of technology available."
voice was getting harder, a bit more military like.
"She keeps that up, she's just going to get herself into a terminal situation and make keeping her alive that much harder an everyone."

"Well for right now, let me worry about her. If you want to get angry with someone over her, then get angry at me. After all, I'm first in line to be responsible. Isn't it my job to make sure that she does the things she should, like go to her appointments and the like? Apparently I'm slacking in that area if you're showing this much concern about it. Have Ingenuity send me a list of all her scheduled appointments and I'll watch her more." While his voice got that military edge to it, hers got that eccentric scientist defending their point bite.

"I'm not angry. I'm just concerned. she show's signs of depression, and the techs have thier worries. they could be wrong, it might just be something simple. they've pointed that out to me. but it's that it coudl be something this serious that bothers me. and no one has seen her in awhile, I talked to rennell about it this morning."
He ran his hand through his hair, reaching her office rather quickly after a short jump through the teleporter.
"wonder if Erik ever got you that coffee."

"She was still sleeping last I checked on her. I tried to get her up because I knew she was going to go with Rennell today, but she simply waved me off and told me five more minutes. She's probably up and about by now. But believe me, she's not as bad off as your techs believe, and Rennell is good for her. She's just not overly social. If I was in her position, I wouldn't be either.
Jelena PAID into her office and passed through the sill eerily clean place. "He probably did...and then drank it himself. He does that some time. Indeed there was a mug on her desk, but it was empty and under it was a note from Erik: What did I tell you about wasting coffee Trevy?
She shook her head and PAID another door in the back of her office to get to her back labs and the like. "You do know that by offering your help I am most likely to run you ragged?"

"I still worry. it's what I do about those two. and as for running me ragged...feel free, you'll find I got plenty of stamina. the muscles aren't just for the looks, you know."
A slight grin as he followed behind her.
"Who's on home meals and who's on takeout?"
Of course home meals were the hand feedings, adn take out being the live hunting.
"And is there anything you particularly want me to look for on the Echoes? virals or the like? or is it vaccine time for them?"

"Well anything bigger than me is on live feeding at the moment. Anything smaller gets the regular. All the diet information is stored in the status screens on the panels next to the doors. And anything with wings today gets a vaccine shot, though make sure you give them the right ones. Anything big as or bigger than a horse gets type A, anything smaller gets type B. I also need Neroh pulled out after he gets fed as well, I need to run him through some Variant tests again." That was all rattled off in normal speed for her, though it often left techs scrambling to jot things down to keep track of what she wanted.
Then she stopped an blinked at him. "You sure you don't mind doing this?"

"bigger than you is take out, smaller is dinner in. larger than a horse winged get one type of vaccine, smaller get another, adn Neroh gets take out after dinner for tests. got it."
A small grin.
"Gotta love being a biomechanial wonder sometimes. and yes, I'm fine with it. I offered, didn't I? besides, might save few more fingers and pints of blood from Erik. where is he anyway?"

She crossed her arms, smiling. "Oh you're good." A look at her watch. "He should be starting feedings right about now." Heading down the hall she PAID yet another door and stuck her head in. "ERIK! WHERE ARE YOU!?" Sure, there was a GODD system...but why use it right?
"PEGASUS!" That was the resounding Echo through the complex back to her.
And Jelena looked back to James with a smile. "Well there ya go, that's where he is. Though being around something without sharp claws doesn't help him much at all." She sighed and got that aloof look to her again. "I know you offered I just don't want it to look like since we're dating you that I'm using you for various menial tasks."

James actually did hit the button, and his voice came over teh GODD.
I'll start with the Hippogryphes then, and we'll work our way down, meet in the middle.
And a grin to Jelena.
"hey, that's what guys do. we let you women run us ragged for dates, hoping that it'll keep you around for a bit."
And a chuckle, heading down to the Hippogryph pen, whistling 'anchor's away'...Hippogryphs liked him. that's why you start there. Shots were no problem. Variant..a mild bit touchy. left a dent in that metal arm. advantage to James. meal arms don't hurt when thing kick, claw or bite them.

"men."While the boys went about doing their thing, Jelena coded into an unoccupied pen. Like the ones in the Echo infirmary, there was no actual vegetation or anything of the sort. Any environment was holographically projected on the surfaces instead. This was where she ran her tests on her Echoes. All harmless tests really, reaction times, responses, things like that. Though most of the Echoes considered it a sort of play time.
Yes, still wild but even wild creatures learned to hold a certain familiarity to a person or something else. They just happened to have that affection from Jelena. If she wanted to, she could make them jump through hoops. But that wasn't how she did things around here.

The GODD system kicked on again.
"Erik..let me handle the Fenrirs..before you get yourself eaten."
James was making good time, though hsi arm was beginging to look like a car in a demolition derby. the Echoes weren't exactly used to him, save soem of the larger ones that he sometimes helped constrain. never would guess Kitsunes coudl get so vicious so quickly in large numbers.
