Lillia spent quite a bit of time with Raedon, she told him everything that had been happening and eventually he allowed her to scratch him through the bars. She hung out with him for a while and then she went around soothing the other echoes. Most of them were used to her being in and out and feeding them and giving them treats so she didn't run into any problems with them though she knew at any time she could. She'd probably get yelled at since they were in such a crucial phase right now but at this moment she just didn't care. Jelena might call them her babies but Lillia was just as attached. She loved the echoes in a way no scientist should but she didn't care. She'd love them right on until the day the project was shut down and then she'd still love them. Lillia was always a sucker for animals, it was in her blood.

The penned ones first...what with all that's been happening, I'm sure they're all stressed out and the like. Stressed out wild animals are never good...next thing you know there's going to be another Board appointment with my name on it. I don't need that right now."
Jelena ran a hand through her hair, passing up labs and the like until seh coded/pushed open the door to the bad holding area. Though she expected it to be in somewhat more choas whereas they were really kind of mellow. Meant someone else they liked was around or had been recently. The list was small to go through.
"Shall we then?"

"Lead the way then."
A kind of half distracted voice, still looking through the vanilla folder and following behind, though he did look up at the quiet. someone was here, or should have been here to get that kind of effect. That ment Lillia, since obvious it wasn't Erik, nor Jelena and he didn't know anyone else with the access.
"Amazing what you can create, isn't it. I never woudl have thought I was a direct influence in the creation of a living being."

She lead them to the catwalks, seeing as they were always a faster route above the paths below between enclosues. Birds eye view, so she could see what all was going on and who was doing what.
Though she turned to be walking backwards do she was looking at James. "What? Never thought about having kids? That's being a direct influence in the creation of a living being. And not really so different from what we're actually doing anyway.
Jelena turned back around, stopping every now and then to peer over the catwalk railing.

"There's a difference between procreation and creation. for example. you and I make love, you get pregnant. the child is already, at that moment, completely created. how he or she will look, thier gender, the sound of thier voice the color of thier hair and eyes. talents. that procreation. my only direct influence is provided half the materials."
A smirk, keeping pace with her.
"Creation is different. we are not only supplying all the materials, but deciding how they fit together. we decided, conciously, wether it's a boy or girl. what color the eyes are, and the fur or feathers or scales. we give it unqiue traits, we determine the size or general size. completely from scratch. "
A smile, looking over teh catwalk at some of the Echoes.
"Procreation, we take you and me, blend it together. Creation, we take a empty vial, and create legends."

She smiled, looking at him through her OODDS. "And to think I'm a scientist and never looked at it that way. BUt you know...you're right." Made them a little right too. In a way...she was indeed playing God. A contended sounding sigh as she leaned on the railing, getting that aloof look about her.
"You're absolutely right. Control verses coordinate...you know...never really realized exactly what I do till this moment I think. I dont' know...perhaps because it's all so just second nature to me. I could make an echo in my sleep by this point." Though who slept when they were making an echo. Those were coffee and caffeine binge hours.
Then a laugh. "Though you still get the same reaction from a negative pregancy test, when trying, and that horrid structure unstable message. Lots of yelling an flinging of things." Jelena looked to him. "You have a good way with words...perhaps I'll take you to board just for that. I tend to....ramble...when on Board."

"The power of God at teh tips of our fingers. but we're not playing god. we're not looking to seed a world with our own creations, or demand they follow what he wish. and your efforts, your ability to create, is a talent. I don't doubt with proper funding..we coudl use the smae methods you use to creat echoes, to recreate limbs and organs. to give those with terminal sicknesses theier lives back. to give thoe who can no longer walk, the ability to do so. sight to the blind."
He put his bioware arm aroudn her shoulder, and hugged her lightly.
"They just don't like the fact that you never created those things. That you saw beyond that, beyond reproducing, to really creating. You took genetics to a level they only dreamed about, adn they are jealous and hatful for it. they use the god thing just as an excuse."
A chuckle.
"Though I bet you'd get a lot of real friendly junkyard dealers interested in Fenrirs. they'd make great junkyard dogs."

Another thoughtful aloof look from the dear doctor Trevale. "Again, you're right. See, you're good at articulating what you're trying to say...I usually can't. I'm a more hands on, let me show you with an example type person."
Then a smile from her. "Yes, that would indeed be the next step...or perhaps even one that can be accomplished right now. Though my field is making a whole living thing, not a piece of one...perhaps that's why I haven't gotten that down yet and presented it to help my already floudnering career."
Though she did laugh at his little joking. "I beg to differ...might use to junk as chew toys."

"I wouldn't think your career is floundering. it's just not widely accepted, yet. though you might be right...they are pretty big dogs, aren't they."
Though a few moments of thought.
"You want to experiment on regrowing tissue on a human subject?"

"Yet? Now now, don't be so optimistic James Moira. If ever the correct phrase is. Though even if it never was taken seriously...I wouldn't mind. I still got to do it, I'm here on Fleet with a license for a cruiser and project supplies for ten years. Even if I can't get another ten...well I had the first to at least prove to a few people that I wasn't that crazy."
Jelena had decided some time ago that screw what they thought of it...she was still doing it and would continue till there was no feasible way for her to continue. Though a sharp turn of her head to James at his question, blinking at him. "I don't think they'd let me get clearance for that. Head's on the chopping block as it is. Not to mention the risks involved are a bit high...that is supposing I found someone to want to take part in it. But like I said...Radiance would never authroize that for me."
Intriguing idea, but facts were facts...Radiance barely let her get away with what she did now...moving in on the human species would probably get her shipped back to earth,

"I ask because there's a reason part of my side if boiware as well. Cancerous bone and tissue foudn during the surgery, and they opted to replace it with bioware. four ribs and a section of lung. not a big one, mind you. nothing really to worry about, but mihgt be nice to know if it was possiblet o get those ribs and bit of lung back."
He was still watching the Fenrirs.
"But you're right. chances are they'd never allow it. not to mention Jessica woudl hit the roof. they'd have to reroute and rewire all teh systems that went through that section of the bioware. Nice thought though."

She blinked at him, watched him for a long moment as he watched the fenrirs below them from the catwalk. Learn something new everyday didn't you? And indeed this was a little fact surprise now wasn't it. "It is a nice thought...mayeb one day I can do that for you. If someone doesn't beat me to it that is."
Jelena gave a soft smile and a chuckle despite information that wasn't really funny. "Jessica. I'm sure she would indeed hit the roof...and then come after me with a power tool." A thoughtful look. "I may not be allowed to do it...but she would be, wouldn't she? I mean we already have proven that Meta and Echo technologies can be combined...and that in fact was only a part specific creation. So in essence...we've already done it. I could let her borrow some of my things over at Ingenuity..." They trusted Meta more than Echo. Oh God, he had sparked her interest.

Raedon snorted lightly. Hey now, that's mine. She was giving me attention not you.
Lillia chuckled and moved from the Fenrir enclosure back over to Raedon. "Did you miss me? Well that's good to know. I'm glad someone misses me in this place. I know I'm probably not supposed to be here but..." she shook her head and reached in, scratching his nose when he nuzzled against her hand. "Looking for more treats? Jelly would kill me but...okay." She reached into her pocket and pulled a few out then fed them to him. "Now don't tell anybody."
He simply ate them quickly and nuzzled her hand again. There we go. Attention is once again mine at last. His ears pricked and he went still then lifted his head and looked up.
Lillia turned and looked up as well and saw two figures on the catwalk. From this distance she wasn't sure, but it looked like it was James and Jelly. Well at least James was up and moving, that was something.

"I'd prefer if it was done not to involve Meta so much. maybe only for the assistance in removing the boiwave for that area. it's somethign I woudl liek to see strictly credited to your project, to help them see that more can be done with this level of genetics than thier little minds coudl see."
He gave a wave to Lillia, and just because she could, picked up a washer from teh catwalk and lfipped it like a coin to land on her head.

"Babysteps...if Meta was the ones to mention it they would be allowed to dabble. And thus present...I could get my mentionings through Meta project leader. Put in a good word so to speak." Jelena Trevale, never one to look for glory at all, was she? "You know how kept under the microscope I am here. I just prefer not to make then stare at me anymore than they do now." Oh yes, she would love to take all the credit really...but she was looking at things in glass half empty view.
She was watching Lilia as she talked, giving a wave when she looked up and a little chuckle as James took to flicking stuff at her. "Oh stop that...whole catwalk will fall apart." Indeed the place needed some work...she just hadn't put in work orders yet. "Come on, let's go see what she's up to...I need to check emclosure status anyway and can't do that from up here."
