"Well a hydra isn't a hydra with the multiple head regeration thing. so that test would have to be first. I was really thinking it's be at least a fetus by now, I thought the growthrate was accelerated, or is that after this part?"
A smile and a hug lightly.
"And you called me 'dear', how sweet."
A little teasing to keep her in a semi-pleasent mood.

"It is accelerated, though at this stage it's only at half rate. That's why it always seems that they grow faster in stasis than in here, because the growth acceleration is put on full or sometimes even doubled. All depends on how careful I plan on being really."
Though she gave him a smile back and a soft almost non existent laugh. "Sweet indeed. I"m sure you prefer a term of endearment over me calling you commander or something as a nickname for you. Besides, we're dating, I'm allowed to sticker cute names to you."
But she gestured him from the room and to the main lab where she stepped out a moment to grab some ppe, handing him his own as she stepped back in and dawning hers. If they were going to play with genetics again, they would have to suit up. "Shall we start that test then?"

Suit up, checked, and ready to play godling again.
"Sure. now first we have to construct Hydra dna, right? then grow it, and then test it, correct?"
Smilign lightly and taking a seat, though letting her have the one closest to teh microscope. she was the master of this, after all.

"In a manner. First we need to get the base genetics we're using and run tests on regeneration on that and mix them up into a new base dna, provided they both work with the regeneration. Then we can go about playing with puzzle pieces to make a hydra."
Thus went about organized powering up of the place before she went to one of the many coded cabinets, punching in species codes to find the containers of generic materials that she wanted. Base dragon and leviathan dnas brought over and put under the microscope, letting the computer boot up images and the like. "Should be simple enough."

He chuckled lightly, shaking his head.
"You make it sound like it's nothing more than glueing to peices of paper together. You are a brilliant woman. and it one's of those things that I fidn so attractive about you."
But he watched intently, makign sure to see the subtle differences in the codes, and how they were formed. another peice to teh puzzle of creation was knowing why thigns went where they did.

"When you break it all down, that is really all there is to it. Gluing two pieces of paper together...though in my own brilliance I may be blinded to the complexity of it." Yes, she just took his statement and made a joke out of it. And she looked to him with a slight smile, though the trouble of earlier was seen in her eyes regardless. After all, no one could shake the impending horror completely.
"So I'm brilliant am I? I believe that's the first time I've heard that term applied to me." No lie either. But she took to the computer. Easy enough really, seeing as both dna strands were derived and based off of each other in some fashion. And the commands went in to completely splice the two together and run tests on how they genetic traits, such as the regeneration in the dragon dna, would show through more.

A few hours of sleep. That's all she got and even that was in an uncomfortable position on a desk instead of a bed, with folders and papers not to mention the staples she now had imprinted on her cheek for a pillow.
She woke up and returned to work. Didn't say a word, didn't even acknowledge the fact that she had been sleeping. She just ascertained where she had left off and went straight back to it. If she dind't keep busy, she'd start to think and then feel and then everything would break loose.

Were we last left our hero...
Tempest's Log, star date... Catcat the third, I was sneaking about the bow of the ship when I realised that we were underseige from the netorious and dasterdly no-good doers, the Raterverie, when I was ambushed by one of the cunning, yet lesser intelligant beasts. He lay in wait, and waited some more, and then, when I walked by, he hit me with it... Yarn. My worstest enemy. "Mew mew."
I struggled for many hours, but eventually won in the end. I am free from that trap, and now roam about other locations on the ship, looking for more of their devilish plots... But first...
Foodopolis. Oh how art thou so beautiful to thy eyes.. "Mew..."
Tempest sat on the floor of the breakroom and awaited the people to rush off and leave their food unguarded... for poison testing... not devouring and consuming without permission... The cat looked about the room, and hoped that someone would be foolish- smart enough to leave their food... for only an insitint... It could save their lives... OR at least, feed the cat.

James watched, fascinated by the process, really.
"Lets say the regernation thing works, and we get a creature that can regen like we want it to. hwo do you restrict it to just the head and neck, and make it so the new brains work together?"

She looked to him and stared. "I don't know." Yes, it was simple as that really, she didn't know how to restrict it. That would take a bit of genetic tampering after the thing was going really, after bodily structures were formed and she could get restrictive properties to then set into already formed things. "Regardless, my theory goes it would have to be done at a later stage."
A look back to her computer as it beeped at her, telling her it was done splicing together things. "Now for some ultra accelerated growth...hope you can hold down your lunch James." Not that she had to worry about him. The fact that the genetic material wasn't coherent made the process quicker and easier. Stealing away to a cabinet she brought back base organic material, sliding that into the scope, giving commands to put one in the other, then heat applied as before, and bingo...you got a quickly growing rather gruesome strip of fleshy looking substance taking form. Not for the squeamish tech.

James grinned lightly, and took to poking it with his bioware finger.
"It's squishy."
And a small chuckle at Jelena, who was giving him a 'what the hell are you doing' look.
"What? it's like poking a jellyfish on the beach with a stick. it's a guy thing."

Thus a slap to that hand. "Please keep your hand to yourself before you loose it to an unfortunate accident where it is taken from you and falls into the incinerator." Another hit. Didn't care if he could feel it or not, point was the visual aid of it really.
But she rolled her eyes. "Men." Pushing him aside from it she slide out the...specimen...from the scope and set the squishy, slightly moving thing in it's dish on the counter. Thus she fetched a scalpel from the drawer. And looked to James, holding the non sharp end toward him. "You want to do it, it's your fascination?"

After consuming a light snack, Tempest realised that he had been absent from his Polis for far to long, and in absence Ratervvis will make short work of it...
The cat ran and glided towards the lab, ducking under and around all survelince and crew, actually efficently making the journey from the Foodopolis to the Keipiopolis within a short un noticed trip.
He was cunning when he was devoted to something, otherwise, well, he has a tendancy to lose himself in the moment...
Once he had returned to the main palace centre, Tempest wondered about searching for signs of the no-good doers. Luckily for him, he found something. Another trap, this one in the guise of a squeek toy. Oh, how clever these Raties are, using the objects they know full well will get Tempest to attack, and then blow himself up. Looking at the object, he could not resist.. .He could not prevent his claws for reaching out... He could not stop himself...
The safety googles bouced happily across the floor, with the manticore casing ever so playfully after them, into a strange suberb or the main Keipiopolis... Some side temple region... The smell was familiar, so it must be some of the Creater god's areas... but those were all well marked with other scents...
Who's temple was this? Demetre? Aphrodite? Hermes? Apollo? Hyperion? Helios? Aries? Who's? The cat leaped up onto the desk, and mewed softly, hoping to see which god this was. "Mew."

Lillia saw her papers move from the small disturbance and she heard the small sound that punctuated through the wall she had erected around herself. She was always lost when it came to animals.
Looking up she smiled softly at the cat who was sitting there. The wings on his back should have caused her to wonder, but here, it was just normal. She leaned back and regarded him for a moment then said softly, "Well hello there. What a beauty you are! Strong too." she said noting the spikes on his waving tail. She scribbled something down adn then glanced at the cat again. "I wonder where you came from..."
Ever the cautious one she decided to let the cat set the atmosphere. If he wanted to lay on her desk taht was just fine with her, seh had no problems with it. But she had work to do. She wondered briefly if the cat had been fed, then returned to her work.

What the hell is this? She's ignoring me? But, I am the KING of this city... She can't ignore this Basileus! I AM A DEMI GOD! She can't just decide I am not worth her time, Oh, she's going to get it... Get it right in the face. "Mew."
Tempest crawled across the desk, callously knocking papers onto the floor, and then rubed his head right under the god's chin, and purred as loudly as he could. "Prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"
