Welcome to Gaia! ::

& where was the faithful snow-capped, gun-toting, usually found on the short side of Kayako's temper preemptive salvage specialist you ask? The one that had seemingly disappeared into the cold void of Hel known as the Ragnarök? He was off in his room following the latest trend of deep thinking & ceiling-staring. Thinking about the deep, meaningful things in life in the form of complete nonsense. His room was clean, in the sense that it wasn't dirty because he didn't have much in the way of things to dirty it up. But that was of no immediate concern to him. No, there was something else going on in that snowy white head of his.

That bird....

He thought to no one aloud as the distant images of an old crumpled memory rolled its way through Domanic's mind like an old crippled war veteran rambling about how he was in the Vietnam war fighting against the Nazis along side the indians.
sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss Is this the essence of life........?

Have I been cleansed of all sin....?

Okk glanced at the package sternly as he piloted the vehicle through the various pathways towards the port, unaware of what would soon transpire. In his gut he could feel it but his mind was less intuitive. The idea to abandon the delivery only occurred to him once but was quickly defeated by the chance to finally get another face to face with Noli.

She was crass, rude, treacherous and beautiful. A deadly combination in one well disguised package. In his mind Okk could only see blond curls and a smiling face, the face which turned his life upside down and landed him in Bellforest years ago.

Sanity claimed him the moment his LFO rumbled over rocky terrain.
"Where's my head at?" He wondered as he slowed the vehicle to a speed capable of handling the rough ground. Wandering aimlessly, Noli had that effect on his mind even now. Only this time it was not the sweet thoughts he had for her, instead they were vindictive. Even the smallest triumph over her would appease his hunger for payback.

It was an elaborate ruse which he would not foresee. Only Noli could know what would happen when he arrived at the port with the package. When the port authority checked him at the gate he'd find out the surprise in store.

"...Thank you." Senturi regarded Reiku quickly before walking past him into the hallway. Together, they made their way down the hall and then down the staircase, until eventually they reached the hangar where the mecha were kept. As they went through the door, Senturi hurried in front of Reiku, wasting no time in approaching Nic and Marty.

"There you are. You," she said, looking at Marty "What are you, exactly? Or do you not know? And where did that machine of yours come from? It has an archetype inside, correct?"

Inwardly, Senturi almost cursed the fact that she could not be in two places at once. She would be able to sense more if awake in her own form, but only through Kayako's body could she communicate with humans. In any case, she decided to try getting a look at Marty's eyes. If they were coralian, it would answer her main question.

'So odd...' she thought, reflecting a bit as she waited for a response 'This one's thoughts have been much bolder as of late. Is it because the coralian is no longer feeding us information? This is the first time this one has made so many independent decisions....'

Nic turned her head to look at Kayako who was now coming towards her way, and was acompanied by Reiku. But as she got closer Nic couldn't help but look at her eyes. They're...a different color? she thought to herself as she tried to keep from opening her mouth. I wonder... she continued to think as she listened to Kayako ask Marty questions, but looked at Marty from the corner of her eye.

'It could be a lie...' Senturi thought, looking Marty over. Of course, she had to admit that that possibility was highly unlikely. Kayako had forgotten her own origins fairly easily not long ago, so was it really so far off to consider that the same could happen to others?

"Regardless," Senturi addressed Marty again "a thing with eyes such as yours is not by any standards 'ordinary'. You don't seem to be aware, but I have one remaining question. What involvement have you had with military operations? Or the operations of any scientific group?"

'It's existence here is dangerous. If it brings other enemies, everyone will be endangered....Kayako would not wish to abandon it....But..'

'*!'

'.....very well...'

Nic stood off to the side but was able to see both easily at the same time. Her posture had not chanced any, nor her facial features for the most part though her eyes could show that she was thinking the whole thing over. Gazing at the bike from the corner of her eye she cocked her head to the side a bit while the two conversed.

Nic looked at Reiku and shrugged her shoulders, "Just waiting for this to unfold into something interesting." she replied. Her hands were playing with what seemed to be a paper clip to her in her pocket as if to help her consentrate. "Is there anything that I don't know, that perhaps I should know?" Nic asked Reiku.

Martin held his hand to his face like he was thinking then looked around at everyone in the room before looking back towards the girl that seemed to be in charge here. "I am good with weapon systems, engines, and the working parts of LFO's... So yes I could be mechanic." Marty then raised one of his eye brows a bit, He had been trained on a few notions that he wuld have to live on his own and operate awayfrom a base unit... he had been trained to spot minor details. "Are you ok?"
