"No he only comes back here to see Rosey. I don't like to let him back with the Echoes unless I'm on his heels and watching him. Besides, Rosey won't let him cause trouble here and if she deems that it need be done, she will take his PAID tag. That's always a good threat with him."
Then she gave a laugh, falling into stride with James. "Oh good, so that means when we start sending each other hate mail I can always still get anything I need from Ingenuity."A skeptical look. "I hope you're right about that because last time I tried to information from that, I got chewed out. Not fun." Back her he still neat office again.

"No one, not even the project leader, get on my case. maybe it's because I've been part of this Project longer..or just because I look like I could break them in two. I dunno why."
A chuckle.
"buiness before personal feelings in that reguard. your work and mine are both more important than if we like eachother or not. I f you need a schematic to get a better idea for a DNA structure, I'll give it, and I would expect if I wanted to base a bioware design on how an Echo looks, I'd get full record of how that part is put together to get the best possible design idea."

"Business before everything around here James. That's the way it is." And she started the destruction of her office by walking to a file cabinet and pulling out several sealed files, dropping them on her desk next to her computer there. Step one, supplies. Of course total chaos would come later when she sat down to update files and do paperwork on Echoes. "But yes, I would certainly hand over that information should you need it."
She tapped her temple for a moment if that was going to help her think or she was trying to remember something. "I think they leave you alone simply because you do your job."

"No can't be that. if it was just doing my job the Project leader wouldn't let me get away with half of what I do. I really think they have some kind of innate respect or fear of me. one of the first members, and few survivors. plus I'm built like a tank."
Okay some ego stroking.
"But what are you plannign now, Jelena? and have we got a date for our MAPS sessions or we still got that in waiting while you find a free day to commit for it?"

"Tanks have treads." Just because she could point it out. That was what she did really, if she could, she would. Of course she then sighed. "Dr. Fein hasn't given me a good date yet and in all honesty the last call if up to her. Open MAPS slots fill up so quickly these days what with all the stress going about."
Jelena sat on her desk then and leaned back on her hands, pushing aside the files a little. "And in all honesty, I hadn't foreseen this and had scheduled quite a bit for myself...I then planned to sleep for three days straight to regain my sanity." She gave him an apologetic look. "I know, I know, you don't have to say it. I'm married to my work and the old ball and chain doesn't let me have too much fun when I want to."

James moved over to her, place himself between her leg and leand forward against her his hand splayed on teh desk and gave her a little grin.
"I won't tell your ball and chain if you don't tell."
A slight chuckle and a quick little kiss, a tint of fire to it, and he leaned back some.
"Time is something I have in abundance, Jelena. and I've offered to help with your work. hell I coudl cut your MISSED session to a third of the time if you would let me do the data entry. and I would love to help do structuring if for nothing else if I help get it right to kinda be daddy to one of your echoes. just to say I helped create that. But I know, you don't want others bubbling around in that sort of thing. But the offer will stand no matter what happens between us."

Oh she just had to laugh at that and a rather content sigh at his rather quick kiss. Should of been longer, but she was busy trying to hold an all out giggle fit at bay. "A good old fashioned affair, how lovely." Of course she had to be bad herself, hooking one leg behind his for a few moments as if to keep him from going anywhere.
"Who knows, you may just be back in my labs with me. Erik gets in from time to time and I know you have more cuts and a faster reaction time catch hurled objects. Besides, I might not talk to myself as much...the conversation gets rather dry when you talk to yourself all the time. You may even get your shot at the MISSED." No denying that she trusted James and it was quite the appealing offer to have her work load cut in half....would also be nice not to fall asleep at her MISSED system as well.

She wanted to be bad? so could he, and ran a hadn up that hooked leg to her hip.
"I woudl certainly love to provide you with good conversation, and a shot at the MISSED? do my ears deceive me? I must have hit a jackpot."
Another kiss, a little longer this time. hey, he coudl be a teasing devil too.
"And I promise on my bioware that I wouldn't do anything without your approval. and you know us Metamoprhs and our Bioware. can't be alive without it."
A slight chuckle at that. oh lord what would Erik say if he saw this little scene.

Now they were just messing with each other from a started joke about Jelena's first love. How amusing and fun as well. "Hit the jackpot James? I think not. Jackpot winning is all about chance. I don't dabble in that chance department. I just trust you."
Oh this was just, classic. Her sitting on the desk, he leaned over her, both teasing each other with touches and kisses. And to think, that hadn't even been out on their first date technically. Jelena shifted her weight back to one of the hands she was leaning on slightly, and brought the now free one up to tap her fingers on and across James' bioware arm.
"Promise on something like this? Something you let my Echoes rough up." She took on that playful overly done flattered look. "Why James, I don't know what to say."

A chuckle.
"Oh not just the arm..though I would have sacrificed that in a second if that momma had gotten nasty. but this too..the part that's really the important one. for this stuff."
putting the weight ont eh bioware arm, he lightly tapped the side of his head, the part of his brain that had been reoved for that bionic harddrive and memory system.
"This goes..I go. and I'd sacrifice it too, if it ment keeping your secrets, secret."
but that look in his eyes about it was serious underneath the playfulness. he woudl litterally die before betraying the Fleet. especially Jelena.

"Your loyalty...to everything...is quite the remarkable thing James, I hope you never loose it. But I hope it never comes to that you would have to sacrifice yourself because you know how I make an Echo from start to finish. That's would just be a waste of a very good man. One that we could all use in our lives. Especially people like me who try to put the world on their shoulders and then walk standing straight."
She smiled at him, one of her actual smiles. Not the scientific one, not one of amusing fancy, or that pleased because it turned out alright, or even one of her aloof smiles. Just hers, the kind she wore in the pictures of herself. "And I think I would rather my secrets go than you James."

A small grin, and a finger traced alon her cheek.
"hey now, if I'm going to look like some cybernetic Atlas, least I can do is help you bear the weight of the world on my shoulders too. and how surprising..those precious secrets are worth sacrificing for me? I think maybe your falling for this old soldier, Jelena."
A chuckle, and just watching her, and that smile. a real smile.
"I would kill to see Erik walk in right about now. just for the look on his face."

"Information and a life are not something to be equally traded for. Without life, there would be no information to collect or give out. So it's easy to see how that equations out. Falling for you? Maybe."
Then she smirked and leaned back on her desk some hand reaching out to place her fingers lightly on the button that would activate the GODD system. "Well, I could call him and we could find out."

James leaned forward some more, and stepped his fingers up her stonach and with a little grin over her chest. boy was this a compromising position. but when she smriked and fingerd the GODD...he only gave that smirk back.
"Go ahead. I dare you."
Then a slight shrug.
"Some secrets people will kill or sacrifice for. military does it all the time. but nice to know I'm more valuable to you than that."

"Dare me do you?" A press down on the button, the little red indicator light coming to life to indicate that it was activated. Then she turned her head to the side, toward the intercom.
"Erik, it's Jelena. Come to my office this moment, there's something very important that I think you should see."
Oh yes, she went there.
