Welcome to Gaia! ::

He grinned lightly and lifted his hand, the secondary coin system going live, and the four fingers opeing at teh top to show syringetips small enough that the barely coudl be felt at all but inject the maximum amount of nanomachines, and without a big show, stuck the needles along her spine and a little pressure in they went. that was it, and all done, and he lowered her shirt and stood back, rplacing the original cartradges and grinning.

"All done."

Dreams of wealth, power, women, all the same dream that every guy has all the time, except all that was gone with one image... Deep sapphire eyes, rich blonde hair and a smile that can never be forgotten. But all of a sudden in a flood of papers she was gone, all the power and wealth he had dissappeared just as the face did. The papers just kept climbing higher and higher, reaching his legs, torso, neck... Soon the paper liquified and started to pour down his throat... He was drowning!

~~~

A loud thunk and DJ suddenly felt something splash into his open mouth. Coughing and hacking he wiped what ever it was (probably water) off on his pillow as he buried his head into it, letting out a groan as his headache suddenly became apparent. He rolled around, grasping his forehead for a bit til he remembered that he had a visitor.

"Lillia?" No answer. "Lillia?" DJ sat up and peered at his bed, there was a lump in the sheets, Maybe she's still asleep. Sluggishly getting up he leaned over his bed and poked at the lump. The lump suddenly fell apart and revealed nothing underneath. "Oy... she left without saying good bye. Maybe when she regained her senses she up and left." Shaking his head he plopped down into his sheets.

"Meh, I get to sleep in my comfortable warm bed." He closed his eyes and started to doze, but the nightmare of drowning in liquifed paper didn't really let him sleep anymore.

"Quick someone tape up a note on all the cabinets that I'm don't need to inject myself with anything for the next twenty-five years." Giving a shake of her head, she smiled to him as he mentioned her motion. Then a dismissive wave of her hand. "Can't be too much with those, I need them for my work and I"m always working...so they are pretty much like a regular pair of glasses to me if I had been in need of them. Besides, I think I look good in glasses."

One of those pondering looks a moment before she went to a cabinet on the far wall, opening it up and pulling out a pillow and blanket as well. Okay, proof that she did this regularly. The items were thrown into a nearby chair. "And what if, of course you'll be around in twenty-five years, you have to be the one to drag people places."

"Honored?" She shrugged lightly. "Though of course I do have the ability to simple go spread the word now and people wouldn't let you lay a hand on them. But I'm being nice today and I won't."

Of course, Miss Scientist that she was had to go over to him and do that look from all angels she could fathom thing. Though she knew better than to touch, unlike usually. "Hm, well that would of been bad for me, last time I checked my levels, I still had some present from that cold I had a couple of months ago. Hm, remind me not to get on your bad side so you don't zombify me.

So it was back to Jelena now, he just flip flopped back and forth now didn't he? That was the fun thing about dating those you worked with...you could just mess with them. "You have your point there. It takes two to tango and you can't tango properly if your partner isn't feeling the beat." Dance analogy, nice. Then she shook her head. "Poor Rennell, he must think that you hate him."

"And yes I am, I will be plopping in that chair right there, propping my feet up on a pulled out drawer and settling down with my stack of things I found interesting to keep myself up and watch things." A pause to push back a piece of hair from her eyes. "Mm, no, nothing I can think of. Just try not to terrorize Joey and Rob too much, alright? Despite their lack of competence, they are still quite useful in certain areas."

"right, I'll keep that in mind." Flip flop was definitely the correct term for him. And she shook her head as she watched him head out. With him gone she took another few hours to roam the Project area, clearing out techs and the like for the night, making sure things were secure before heading to her office. She grabbed the pile she had threw together earlier and then went to a wall that and swiped her PAID tag, which opened a panel in the wall. Master control panel for all the door and locks in the Project zone. A brief code and a swipe of her PAID tag again to change the locking codes to only work with her and Erik's PAID tags only, just as she did every night.

Back to the Echo infirmary she made her way with her pile of papers, plopping them on the floor next to a chair. She then made herself comfortable in that chair with the blanket and pillow, propping her feet on a pulled out file cabinet drawer as she grabbed a file and started reading, every now and then glancing at the Kitsune.




She jumped suddenly, not realizing she had fallen asleep. A look at her watch told her it was extremely early, a little after seven in the morning, and she remembered looking at her watch before, the time being only five thirty. Great fell asleep. With a yawn she stood and stretched, walking over to the pen to check the Kitsune out. It was happier and bouncier than ever. Taking the thing out of her cage she took it back to its enclosure then went about unlocking the Project zone. That done she grabbed the coffee and donut that Erik had left for her on her desk and headed to a back lab, intending to do some DNA mixing.



Rennell was already awake, had already been for a run around the ship, and had already spent some time at the shooting range. Now he was lazily walking the halls of Ingenuity, taking his sweet time on things, waiting out the time till he was going to go on the workbench. How long now? Was it. Idly he looked for something to occupy his mind till it was time to fetch Rosey.

Jelena banged her head against they keyboard for the tenth time in the last half hour. Oh so very frustrating. Again the banner flashed bright red with white lettering across the computer screen, unstable structure. Pushing her OODDS up to sit on top of her head she pinched at the bridge of her nose in frustration. This was always the most irritating part of her work, stabilizing genetic codes and getting them to stay stable, then scanning through for defects, fixing defects that could come out anyway, or just make the whole thing unstable again.

Erik slid over to her on his wheeled stool, laying her hands to her shoulders, taking to rubbing them. "You're stressing yourself out again Trevy. But I suppose that if I ask you to take a break that you won't, right?" A nod from her in confirmation and she sighed, chuckling lightly.



Slam. That was pretty much the result of a collision into James from a Rennell that was obviously not paying attention, and was pitched to the floor with a resulting sound of scraping metal on metal from the force. He shook his head, blinking a few times as the vision in his left eye blipped in and out a bit before going black and white on him and static fuzzing up the picture. "Crap..."

He sighed and pushed himself up off the floor, then looked to see who he crashed with, getting ready to throw an apology out so as not to get yelled at for being with his head in the clouds. However field of vision held James. "More crap..."

"Not exactly in the clouds. More of in the sea." Swimming in a lot of what ifs and bad scenarios. Though he was quiet when James had turned him around to check him out. But it seemed the floor that had come out the worse, a few long silver scratched from the 'feathers'.

Ren was indeed more reserved it seemed. Not bouncing, hadn't made a single comment about it being so early and James wasn't grumpy yet or anything. A quiet Rennell...scary. "Yeah, I know. I can't miss this one anyway...that last knock had crapped up the camera in there." A poke to his head to emphasize. "I haven't seen Rosey today yet, but I'll be seeing her soon, she's going to stay with me while I have this done."
