Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yeah, I can do that for you Moira. I mean who wanders around these ships more than me, let alone the amount of people who ignore me out of habit and talk about whatever they were talking about without one thought to me. See, being annoying and cheerful does pay off, how do you like that?"

Then a tap of his finger on the table. "But be careful Moira, you know how bad this stuff can go. Don't need to see you getting in trouble or worse over this. Maybe if you're lucky, no one really regarded the article at all and it'll all blow over."

Rennell gave the man another nod. "Right, and I won't forget. I wrote it on my hand." To which he flashed his palm, where sure enough it was written. He never forgot anything if it was written on his palm. Of course with James departure, he left Radiance as well, heading back to Ingenuity for the few hours he still had to wait out.



Erik was the one who answered to that knock. A wait of clear safety goggles were perched on top of his head, and he had on latex gloves as well. Even a see through coat as well, zipped up the front. " She's in, she's dressed, and she's functioning. Though at a highly frustrated level at this point in the morning. DNA structuring makes that woman crazy...I was helping...but I got banished here to the office." A gesture to the surrounding space, which was quite clean really. Apparently Jelena hadn't the chance to tear it all apart yet. "But I was on my way to get some coffee. Good luck if you're going to see her...seh may not even open the lab door for you..." Damn coded locks. But he shrugged and gave James a wave as he passed him up, indeed seeking out coffee.

Inside that lab at a computer and VR microscope, perched on a stool was Jelena, dressed in much the same manner as Erik had been, all protective clothing and the like. Kept accidents from happening like oh say, a cut finger leaking blood into various DNA samples that were being for lack of a better word, overhauled. Mixing human DNA into it would just be a bad thing all together.

"Damn it." She propped her elbows on the counter and rested her forehead in her hands as once against that evil message of unstable structure flashed and said unstable structure went about tearing itself apart. But the knock at the door got her attention and she looked over to see James.

Throwing the systems around her into standby mode, and sliding off the stool she walked over and punched in the lock code on the inside lock and opened the door stepping out, pushing the goggles up on top of her head. "Fancy seeing you here."

She smirked at him and crossed her arms then shook her head, breaking into somewhat of a smile. What could she say, actually getting away from the blaring screen of evil status on her structure was actually a good thing. "Safety never looked pretty, now did it?"

She rolled her eyes slightly. "And yes, we talked about it...but we didn't confirm anything on it." Jelena set her hands to her hips, letting out a sigh. "I suppose I could take a break...the lack of food and sleep probably accounts for me making the same DNA structure failure mistake over and over again. Hold on a moment." Coded back into the room now.

Stepped back into that room she went about actually cleaning up what she had been doing, things going in labeled places and locked cabinets, all in rather organized fashion. Though she saved her work and then shut down all her systems before coming back out, pulling off her gloves and unzipping her jacket taking that off as well, goggles still sitting on top of her head. No need to worry about the door, the lock was automatic. "I guess I could use a little refueling, what did you have in mind?"

"My lord, you meant actual breakfast food? I think I've forgotten how that tastes...seeing as all I tend to eat is a donut every morning with same lukewarm coffee. Sounds fabulous." Hanging up the one jacket and getting rid of the gloves she grabbed her usually lab vest with its blue Echo insignia on the back, slipping it on.

Finally goggled her dumped as well and she ran her fingers through her hair to comb it out some. Of course this all transpired as they walked down the hall and back to her office. "No, that little bugger is already in the vats and growing fast. Not a hard task really, just a little gene blending. That was or is going to be a cerberus...eventually...if I can get it right."

"I'll think on that one." Sure, she was paranoid about her DNA structures and the like...but James as he said wasn't a bioengineer and though he had a partial computer for a brain as he said, he still couldn't fully comprehend all that she was doing. That made her feel better about it, so James may get his chance in her lab. Then a look at her office. "No." Honest truth.

But she let it go and let him lead her to the Ingenuity, via transporter and thus to his room. Unlike hers...his was immaculately clean, bed actually made. Sure, it was that untouched Fleet white still, but his had a more personal feel to it than her own room. Various pictures on the walls and the like. She toured the room a moment. "Nice room, I can see why you fuss at me about mine now."

For the first time in quite a long time, Jelena got one of those spaced out disturbed looks on her face. There were two things that Jelena Trevale couldn't handle, one being spiders and the other being horrible gruesome deaths. She gave a slight shudder, arms crossing for a moment. "That's....horrible." She also lacked her wonderful expressions and scientific terms and outlook when either of the two faced off with her.

She blinked once, looking through her OODDS at the pictures again before looking over to James and shaking her head as if to clear it. "Pity...that things went the way they did in the early days. I remember reading about it all." But then she smiled slightly. "It's nice to know you're remembering them...a shame things went the way they did though..."
