Welcome to Gaia! ::

Richard grinned, "He told me. Told me he gave himself in his own injections this time." She stressed the s sound. "Clammed up after that. It was a slip. I spoke with him several times now. You don't get to be that loyal with this kind of mistreatment that Moreau seems to put him through. There has to be something else. And I believe its important to find what that else is." Richard had pushed her muzzle forward so that she could whisper in Awen ear. She could feel Awen cheek with her whiskers, less than two inches away.

Richard looked disappointed when the Manta girl didn't offer any new information and almost hurt when Awen backed away from her. She huffed and backed into the shadows. "Nothing? This is important, if Jordan brainwashed, what if its a test for something new? So they control our minds and our bodies." She growls, the tone sawing up and down from the darkness. "We can't just turn a blind eye to that."

Richard lapsed into silence, thinking hard. No matter what they found out they were powerless to do something against the lab directly. But what if not all the staff were into it? Some of them had to fear Moreau more than they believed in this project and Moreau's stupid reasons for it.

"Information can be passed on. Do you think the rest of the staff would know about what's being done?"

There was always the removal of the chips too but Richard had the feeling she'd only be able to pull that trick once.

Richard's eyes shined through the darkness, lit with both the moon and hope. This could be it! The wedge they needed to drive between Moreau and his staff! The more mistrust they could sew among the staff members then the closer the island came to imploding.

"Jordan mentioned serums to me. I'm not sure if that was sigifigant or not but he didn't elaborate. If Jordan is a test... then a canine would be a good first shot for increasing loyality, yes?"

She watched Awen as the worry took hold of her. The pacing in the water. "Awen the island won't last forever. No matter what Moreau does, he doesn't have the charisma nor the ideals to motivate people to fanatical loyality forever. Eventually something will happen and the Ivory tower will fall." She wanted to touch Awen, to reassure her, but she was out of reach, so the tentacle's cat stayed put. "It won't happen today or tommorrow but it will happen! We have to be prepared some way, some how."

Richard nodded, "We need to find out more. Then perhaps, we should let some one know." Richard didn't trust Sabin, one bit. However... He's goals were different from Moreau's somehow. Was it possible he didn't know about this?

Richard smiled a little at that her canines glinted in the moon light. "I don't think it was ever simple, we just didn't know how complicated it was."

Richard hadn't seen a sliver lining since getting on the island. To him the island was not a good thing at all. The changes were horrible, her body was a crime against nature and god too if he existed. She crawled over to where the manta was, placed her changed hand on Awen's forarm and gave it a reassuring squeeze. "Hang in there. If I have to look like this..." The voice wavered for a moment. "Then you have to keep it together too."
