She looked at the cat who was currently purring like a small motor adn then at the papers he knocked on the floor and sighed, "Alright. You win. Attention you want, attention you shall have."
And her fingers moved beneath his chin and scratched in that special spot cats loved and then on his head between his ears. "You know...you're probably the first one who has paid any attention to me all day. Not that I blame them, if I were htem I wouldn't even give me the time of day." She looked at the cat's intelligent eyes, "Have you ever done something that turned out horribly wrong...but you didn't realize it until it was too late?"

Purring continueously, Tempest listened to the god's lament, and tilted his head to the side. There was that time That I fell in love and then never did anything about it, then she grew up to become somekind of bird cat and we went different ways... I last heard that she was on a ship ambushed by the evil Raterrats and left for dead on a hostile world where no one would help here, and then she meet a local boy who helped her to populate the planet. "Mew." His tone rather pathetically sad.
And there was that time that I managed to live through the accident that was my birth, does that count? "Mew?" In a slightly less pathetic tone.
"Meow." He burrined his head into the god's upper torso, and flopped his tail on the desk, the spines closing to from what appeared to be a armoured like tip.

She smiled and continued her petting, "Yes I know the feeling. But you seem to have worked it all out okay. I don't think I'm going to be able to." She shook her head, "You really are a sweet boy aren't you?"
She didn't question the fact that she was talking to a cat. "Yes...I royally screwed up this time. Why did I tell him all that stuff? Why?" Then she laughed bitterly, "I've been asking myself that for a long time now. That same question over and over again. Why?" She looked at him, "I wish I knew your name."

James took teh scalpel, and poked and prodded it first, and then cut it in half like someone carving up a steak for dinner later in the evening, before handing the scalpel back to Jelena, and watching to see what was going to happen with the squirmy twitch pile of semi flesh that was not cut in half in front of them both.
"How long should it take before it starts?"

Tempest's head rose, and his collar jingled displaying his name. "Mew." He locked his eyes onto Lillia's and purred softly, in a very soothing way.
"Meow." That is why. No ifs ands or buts about it. "Meow."
His wisdom ever surpassed his own expectations.

Well I feel silly. Of course your name would be on your collar." She held it and read the small writing then smiled. "Tempest." Another scratch between his ears. "It suits you." Then she smiled and said formally holding out her hand, "Pleased to meet you Tempest, I am Lillia Nickko."
She looked around to make sure no one else was around and then reached into the pocket of her lab coat and pulled out a treat, holding it out to him. "Don't tell anyone but this is for keeping me company. And you're welcome to stay as long as you like."

And she watched, tapping her fingers on the counter. "Um...I don't know again? Never done this before and the computer can't really tell us anythign at thsi point. And don't poke at it." She took teh scalpel from him, taking it over to a sterilization chamber, rinsing it off and setting it into the machine. No need to ahve accicents with that now was there?
"All we can do is watch really, maybe tell if some twitch if different or if it seemed to get bigger. I don't know how fast or slow this may go at all. But isn't that half the fun?"

Tempest eyed the food, and sniffed it before bitting into it. He ate it willingly, trusting this god's presence as being a god thing. She was not Hades.
he yawned, and curled up onto Lillia's lap, and closed his eyes and drifted into sleep, but coughed once softly.

Lillia smiled down at the sleeping cat and very easily so as not to disturb him reached down adn picked up the papers he had scattered.
Then she returned to work makign sure she stroked the top of Tempest's silky head every once in a while. She could see him becoming a cherished companion during her long hours here.

Ren was basking in the pleasure of being verbally rewarded for his turn about in ways. True to his word, ever since he got his eye done, he had been on time for his appointments. More pointedly so, he was always fifteen minutes early...and the techs were starting to find his promptness more irritating than his old ten minutes late ways. Means they had to listen to his cheerfulness when sometimes they just couldn't stand them.
But now he was leaving one such appointment, twirling his specialized gun in his hand in bored fashion. Though as he walked the halls, he noticed that people were doing a lot of whispering. He could see the actions of clear whispering but also saw the soft sound waves from it. Hm...what was everyone gossiping about? Though another set of sound waves caught his attention and drew it upward.
Attention all REIII Star Cruiser Fleet personal, staff, and inhabitants: Fleet security has been raised to level four. Projects Echo, and Catalyst are ordered to temporary complete lock down, Project Cognizance is to be reduced and locked down to only scheduled appointments for mental health purposes, Project Metamorphosis is to remain at current maintenance status. These statuses are to be kept until further notice, thank you.
Ren blinked. "Crap..." That was bad. Four? Meant the halls would be soon enough crowded with Fleet Security, and Project leaders would all have no less than two Fleet Security with them at almost all times, and security posted at all doors too. Something big had gotten Radiance concerned, that was for sure.

Lillia looked up about an hour later and realized that she had fallen asleep. Her eyes felt gritty and she was in need of a shower but she didn't want to move. Moving took too much energy and she just didnt have any right now.
Her attention moved to the still sleeping cat in her lap and she stroked his glossy head then gently transferred him to the top of her desk. Standing pu she stretched and yawned then decided she needed to refresh herself. So she slowly moved out of the office, hands in her lab coat pockets, and her head down, moving toward her room.
Whispers got louder and she heard the announcement that made her cringe. She had messed up eveybody's life...

Tempest aroused from his slumber, rather content to have slept on something so soft and cuddly... Where did the goddess go? Tempest looked about, and heard the sound of marching feet. They have come!
Did he sleep through the great battle? Did he slumber away years? Did he sleep through the one time his skills as a general and king would have been most sourly missed! Oh, the shame, the humility. How could he have ever slumbered through the assult of the Space Invaders know only as the Ratrons. What was a manticore to do at a time like this?
I know, I will raise up the flage of rebellion, and storm the bastile! None shall remain prisoner to these imperialist dogs of war! Tempest mewed a might mew, "Mew." and sat on the desk looking at the door. How the hell am I suposed to get by that barrier! "mew." He puffed.
Oh, they forsaw that this titian would arise from the ashes, and take back the kingdom with zeal, so they locked him in this temple, with no hope of escape. Tempest coughed twice, and rubed his face. Well, better make myself comfortable. He lay his head back down, and slumbered once more.

Jelena and James had long ago parted ways. What with the GODDS announcement, James took his laeve...probably to go scare some Radiance high ups or something. So this was how it was going to be for a while was it? Her Project on complete lock down...only thing that was allowed to take place in the cruiser was now living and feeding the Echoes. No more new things, only vigilance over what was already there.
It was quiet for her. Too quiet really. And she was finding Fleet Security most annoying. Currently two stood guard outside her door, and then another two in her office with her. Damn privacy invasion. Walking over to her desk she looked at what Lilia had been doing.
Organizing...they just needed to stop hoping she'd break into the habit of it. Though a sigh and a tilt of her head at the little manticore sleeping on the desk. Never could figure how he got out of the back project zone...but he was really no harm. Petting over him with one hand she took comfort in him, before picking him up and holding him in her arms, perhaps to have more of that comforting feeling. Fingers idly scratched under his chin as he dozed on, oblivious to being moved around it seemed.

Deep in the reaches of slumber, Tempest felt the touch of familiar fingers, the touch of a mother. His body reacted by triggering his purring, his mind raced through all his normal dreams to find himself floating, face to face with a goddess.
Tempest locked his eyes on hers, the dreamy state making him biped. He looked deeply into those loving eyes a tried to ask how he could make her happy, she placed a hand on his check and slowly drifted away. Tempest reached out for her with his five figured hand and tried to cry out but the spectre continued to flee. Tempest began to chase after her, but felt himself becoming light, and fluffy. He felt compressed, like too much jam pressed into a jar. He mewed, and tried to resist the shrinking, but he failed miserably.
His eyes opened, the familiar scent all about him. "Mew." he said cheerfully, his dream forgotten, or supressed. He began to press his body into the affectionate hand. "Purrr."

Lost in her own little day dream too, she was brought back from it from the mew of ever loved little Tempest. Seemed he was awake now too as well. Silly thing slept just like a lion...long and deep. Hugging the little myth to her she nuzzled his head with her cheek, fingers working through his fur and around the base of his wings. For a moment she looked to the two security officers in her presence with a little distaste.
But back to wonderful distracting Tempest. "You know Tempest...I'll never figure out how you get of your environment. I'm seriously thinking about putting a camera in there to catch you in the act. But somehow...I think you're smart enough to know a camera was watching you. And why give away such a good secret right?" Yes, the acclaimed Dr. Jelena Nicholiah Trevale was holding conversation with something akin to a cat. How cute.
