"The only person that frightens me on this fleet is that lunatic Fien."
A smrik at Rennel, before putting the crutched under Jelena's arms.
"use those. that's why you have them, dear."

"Hehe, no worries Lillia. If we do carry out the plan, I'll make your chip smaller ok? But you know how it is; no pain, no gain." Leaping lightly off the desk, he grabbed a nearby chair and rolled it next to her, taking a seat backwards and resting his arms along the back of the chair. "Do I have it written all over my face? Come take advantage of me now?" He laughed. It was common knowledge perhaps all over the fleet, Fox was the man to call when you wanted something fixed or just someone to take out your anger on. "But seriously, I'm used to it by now. Every place has to have a waterboy, someone to do the dirty work." He glanced around the messy office space for a moment. "Does Jelena use you as her personal secretary sometimes or are you really just her project assistant?"

"Everyone is scared of Fein, she doesn't count." Simple as that to him, the light sounds of gears and what not as he flexed his wings a little as they were walking down the hall, watching Jelena, still on crutches. And she still looked none to pleased about it either. Though soon enough they were walking into the lab. "Dr. Hydal has ideas again, so what's up doc?"
Jelena begrudingly took them but clearly let her irritation show through. "I'm beating you with these when I don't need them anymore. Beat you so badly you won't even be able to enjoy laying down. Air will hurt..." Venting a little before having to see Hydal...and only because Camp was there in the room with the good PR.

"How sweet of you Fox, for thinking about me like that." She shook her head for a moment and giggled, "WHy of course you do Fox. There's a sign tattooed on your forehead that claims you want to be used. That's why we all call you." She paused for a moment then nodded, warming up to her subject. "See? The great mystery has been solved. Cover that up and you won't have any more problems."
She reached over and moved some papers and books off the table so he wouldn't bump them and upset any of the research or files. Those would be murder to reorganize. "Well, she's very picky about her messages and such so I don't do any real secretarial work. I do get things for her if she needs them but my job description is her assistant. If anyone would be her secretary it would be Erik. But he's such a sweetheart I don't mind letting him do the jobs like that."
"What about you? Captain call you for little things or does he save the really big problems for you?"

"Great mystery indeed, or more like a conspiracy. It never shows up in the mirrors I look in..." Crossing his eyes and looking upwards in a silly way, he brought a hand up to rub his forehead. "Nothing a little laser surgery can't get rid of hopefully." Her enthusiasm was catching and he grinned himself. "Want to know what you have tattoed on your forehead?"
At that moment, his PDA beeped and he took it out of his pocket, frowning. Hmm, his personal timer was a'calling. "He calls on me for everything, literally." A self-conscious chuckle. "From the engines to the sewage system on Fleet, you name it. Not that I should complain, I'm getting paid to fiddle with stuff. It's kinda like a childhood dream come true, in a twisted kind of way."

She gaped at him for a long moment as her hand immediately went up to cover the patch of skin he'd mentioned. A telling flush filled her cheeks though her eyes were sparkling. "Actually, yes, Fox. What do I have tattoed up there? Much to my chagrin the mirror only reveals the smooth expanse of creamy skin, no coded messages."
And then following the conversation she wrinkled her nose. "It's a good thing you're mechanical then. I'm hopeless when it comes to that sort of stuff. Technological innovations are completely and utterly lost on me and logical deductions...well let's not go there." Thus her use of the highly outdated laptop and archaic glasses. "But to each his own really. This is my childhood dream..." She lowered her voice as though she were imparting a major secret and confided. "Dr. Trevale is kind of my idol. I grew up wanting to be here, even studied biology and genetics with her in mind."

"Aww, it's no good living in the past Lillia. You've got to constantly upgrade yourself." He watched her eyes sparkle with a kind of childish excitement and smiled. "Your idol huh? It must be wicked having the opportunity of working here with her then. Then again, she doesn't look that much older than you." Rising from the chair, he pushed it back into place at one of the desks and glanced at his watch again. "Well, I guess I should be off now. More wires to get tangled in." Pausing at the door, he turned back around and gave her a kind of scheming grin. "Oh yeah, your tattoo tells me that you should really take a break from that overwhelming thesis." A wary look at that intimidating stack of papers behind her. "Any chance I could pull you away tomorrow night for a drink?"

"Okay so it was more of a teenager obsession but you get the point." Her laughter bubbled out and she was rather amused at thier banter. It's amazing working for her, she's the greatest boss and she actually listens to me and my thoughts on the matter. Besides, she trusts me with her Echoes, and that's saying something." Focusing on the idol comment kept her from mentioning upgrading. She wasn't going to tell him about all the trouble she'd had with machines and technology in the past since those were the less than glamorous stories.
Nodding as he made noises to leave she turned back to her thesis and started to type before glancing up at him rather surprised. "I...well..." She took a deep breath and prayed her cheeks weren't as red as they felt. But he wasn't DJ and this wasn't Earth. It was a friendly thing to do really. "Yes, I think that could work for me...."

From his experience, women flushing meant one of two things. She was embarrased and/or flattered, or she was desperately trying to shoot him down in the kindest way possible. Raising his hands in the universal "no pressure" motion, he shrugged a little. "Only if you want to. I know how stressing writing papers can be." Of course he would know, he had spent the majority of his university years losing brain cells over term papers and the like. Worse than exams, they were. "Just a few drinks, some friendly chatter, maybe a dance or two. That's all I'm offering, no strings attached." Wait a minute Fox, are you starting to blabber? A hand ran through the dirty blonde hair and he chuckled. "And then it'll be back to the ancient laptop for you and more toilet-fixing for me."

No strings attached. Those three words could sound so sordid and in fact had been when applied to DJ. But this wasn't DJ, this was Fox and he was grinning at her in the cutest way and she really wanted to say yes. Why hold firm to the belief that she'd never held to be true in the first place? She didn't want to mope and never experience it again, once hadn't been enough for her, not by a long shot. In fact the only reason she was even still reeling over the incident was the potential damage to her career.
No strings attached...it sounded wonderful. An escape with no recriminations and no regrets. Smiling softly at him she nodded, "I'd love to Fox. Tomorrow night." Then a giggle, "I suppose I'll have to find my dancing shoes then. Have to be prepared just in case, right?"

A relieved mix of a laugh and a sigh came out of him. "Perfect. I'll come by here around 8?" He gave her an interesting look at the giggle. So the rumors were true, he was speaking to the one and only Little Miss Sunshine. They were going to get along just fine... "That's the one thing Boy Scouts taught me. It's not exactly Havana up here, but we'll make do. Palmtrees or not." He gave her a wink and disappeared out, the door closing with a low hiss behind him. Now then, back to work in that messy messy workshop of his.

"Perfect..." she parroted before blushing at his close scrutiny. A shake of her head while she chuckled at his parting comment before turning back to her computer.
"Now then where was I? Oh yes....the advancement of the genetic binary system on test subject A with a control of...."

"great excellent everyone's here i hope" Izak said with a smug look on his face as he entered the room with a silver briefcase in hand looking over those who had decided to join him here. " I have here a revolutionary advancement in nano technology, though it is very hazardous so those of yopu who wish to, back out now." he said getting a very serious look on his face as he placed the briefcase on a table with a thud, the room being dimly lit, sillouhetted most of Izaks features except for the glint from his studying glasses which he wore now only by habit.

"Sounds like my cup of tea. Exactly what have we got there?"
Though a look around for Camp, as he was of course the person to give permission for Jelena to use such things.
"And are you thinking to use this on just us...I know you and your love of nanotechnology."

Izak said a mischevious grin once again baring across his face.
