Welcome to Gaia! ::

Holy freaking lord. Was this man ever efficient. There he was going through things like it was nothing. She on the other hand would be going less than half of that place, not to mention stopping to read things and the like. "Biomechanical wonder indeed."

Jelena crossed her arms, watching a few moments more. Okay, apparently letting herself get some help wasn't such a bad thing. But her attention was drawn away as the GODD sounded in the room.

"Dr. Trevale, would you please come back to the Echo Habitat, specifically the Hippogryph enclosure. Mr. Donner and HG-M3 are having a...confrontation and we request your assistance. Make that ASAP."

An exasperated sigh from her. "Oh good lord...Erik you can't do anything without making something mad can you? But you're a good man and you do your job." She gave a slight chuckle and looked over to James. "If you'll excuse me James, I have to go save Erik."

"I'm sure he'll get a kick out of that...or rather he'll get thrown off guard and get a kick from an Echo. Picked one of the nastiest one to tangle with too, HG-M3." She was already stripping off her lab vest. "Sounds like a great plan to me. Meet you when you're done."

Pivoting on her heel she walked out the room which turned into a run, only really stopping when she had to PAID tag doors. Of course she took to the catwalk to cut the trip in half, but she was still out of breath by the time she got to the enclosure.

Stepping in through the already open entrance way she gave a sigh and set her hands to her hips, looking at Erik with absolute agitation. "Erik! What did you do now? You know these guys are especially picky about mannerisms...and why did you have to pick that one? He's the meanest in the bunch."

The few techs that were around backed up some and walked out. Good luck to Jelena but they weren't afraid to admit, nor ashamed, that they were being cowards about it. Last time anyone tangled with that particular Echo...well they had made a trip to Metamorphosis.

She had made one rather bad mistake. She hadn't taken care of the little rather non bothersome Fenrir bites on her arm. Which of course to a creature with a sensitive nose...reeked of Fenrir. And to a Hippogryph...a Fenrir was a predator that they would take on when they had to. And the scent of a predator was first and foremost over the comforting scent of Jelena in the creatures mind.

Which was now why Erik was scrabbling to his feet over to Jelena who was on the ground also, grabbing her by the back of her shirt in attempt to pull her back and create distance, making both fall back in the dirt again. Instead of getting a powerful claw to head, she only got it to the shoulder and arm. Which made the worst noise possible. Well that was dislocated and broken. Damn it.

Both scrambled to their feet again, running for a box on the wall. Erik was first to get there and ripped it open, grabbing out a high powered dart rifle. Of course he was fumbling with the dart a few moments before he got the damn thing in and took aim.

That dart hit hard, making a charging Hippogryph skid to a stop before the two, stagger, then go down in a cold sleep. Joy for tranquilizers. That left Jelena and Erik panting, covered in dirt and sweat, even a little blood seeing as Erik had a busted lip and a bloody nose, a good set of claw marks on his arm. Jelena was in better or worse shape depending on how you looked at it. Shoulder was dislocated and she knew there was a break in her forearm.

Catching her breath she looked to Erik, stumbling over to him as he coded the door open.. Damn techs never any help when you needed them. "No one messes with him. Everyone stays out and just let him calm down." A nod to Erik, letting him walk out before her and she coded the door. Now she would have to visit the medic...damn it. Damned mistake of hers. "Lock down the project for the day...everyone get out."

And no one was going to disobey her right now. Woman was even more mean when she was hurt, Erik too. So techs cleared out, leaving the project zone all in a state of whispers and babbles.

Erik stopped mid stride and blinked at James who apparently had let himself in and was in a rather uppity mood. Erik himself had one arm around Jelena, she was cradling her one arm against herself and both were giving each other some form of support.

"Ever heard of split second things James? You may have great reaction time but you can't teleport last time I checked. "Okay so he was in a bad moon as well now. With his free hand he wiped some blood from his chin and then looked back to the enclosure which was quite locked down now. No one was going in there any time soon. "You can turn off the artilery..."

If she was hurting, she was doing a damn good job of not showing it. But that was something she did, Jelena had learned to mask things easily, being a scientist in a controversial field and all. "Erik didn't do anything, it was my fault. I broke the predator, prey barriers."

No need for him to grill Erik. Sure, Erik pissed it off a little but it had been calmer when she entered...until she got too close and it could smell the Fenrir on her. But now, the medic was the stop to get things fixed up. And damn it all if she wasn't going to have a rough day tomorrow. Dislocated shoulders, never fun.

A look to his arm. "Nothing too serious." Sure it was bleeding, but he was never too concerned about it. The gashes were deep sure enough, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. Frankly he didn't count is as major though he was sure someone or other would disagree with him.

Then a look to Jelena. "Well she almost got her head stomped in, but I pulled her back. She's coming out of the ring with dislocated shoulder and a broken arm we believe." The shoulder was easy to know, seeing as he hand his hands on earlier, checking her out.

"Can we please not turn this into a fiasco...I don't need Radiance knowing about this." Sure, Radiance gave her license to conduct the project...but they also were strict about project mishaps when it came to her own Project.

Though she did cast a smile to James, despite her rather mussed appearance. "Thank you James. I'll take care of that stack after I go see the medics." Of course she would want to get right back to work, that was just her.

Jelena though didn't want to have a seat. She didn't take delight in the idea that there were going to be more people in the back project zone. Not at all. And she pushed away from Erik and walked past them both. "Well, they can meet us in my office. I don't need anybody else back here..." And she took right to the catwalk, taking the short route to her office. They needed three minutes, she needed one and a half to get back.

Erik shook his head. "Stubborn woman." He looked to James then and gave him a nod. "Fortunate to know that you have a good medical team that knows how to keep their mouths shut. Unfortunate that they have to deal with that woman." He looked to his arm again and then motioned to the catwalk. "Shall we go keep track of the good doctor?"

"She's just pulling that thing she does when she's upset or something. Learned it back in college and I've never liked it." But he shrugged lightly, walking back across the catwalk following after James to her office. "Yeah, but I'm used to stitches by now. Used to a lot of medical things, stitches, nano-fusion, all kinds of things. Don't bother me any." Coming into the office he took a seat at the chair he usually occupied when in the room.

Jelena was sitting in her own chair behind her computer...actuallt using the thing. With her good arm she was keying in commands and of course after James and Erik had exited the back Project zone, she locked that down too. Doing the usual thing of scrambling codes at the like.

Of course that medic got a look right back that said 'working, what do you care?'. But didn't fight any of it. The only real noise in the room? The muffled held back scream through clenched teeth from Jelena as her shoulder was pulled on and popped back into place. That one actually got tears to spring to her eyes and she was indeed glad for that mouthgard...cause she would of taken out her tongue and cracked her teeth. That was going to be sore for days.

Erik looked as bored as ever. The only thing he was really concerned with was the bloodstains on his nice white lab vest. As well as dirt and the like, but mainly the bloodstains. Like he said he was used to this one. Though Jelena did get a look from him. Poor thing was dirty as he was and was probably not going to be happy in the morning. Hm...wondered if he could convince her to take a day off and stay in bed.
