Yes. Then what is your decision? Will you allow me to examine one of those Gaia Memories? *Sen crouched a bit while in the tree, his eyes keeping on Fang. He was hoping that the human would comply, handing over one of the devices so he could study it. Sen knew however how crafty his kind could be and how they were reacting before. This could likely be him rejecting the deal, but if that occurred Sen wouldn't divulge anymore information he knew of.*

"My decision?" Ryan confidently repeated. While he had no real intention to give Sen any Gaia Memory, let alone Fang, he knew he had to find out more about the situation they were in. Perhaps with discovery he made last night about Sen and the other's nature, he could perhaps get something out of the strange creature.
As Sen looked on, Ryan reached into the pocket that always held the Fang Gaia Memory before slowly pulling his hand out. However, upon pulling his hand out he didn't have a memory. Instead, he held in between his fingers the same cell medal he'd recovered from the "dog" from earlier. Ryan then tossed the cell medal, his evidence and trump card at Sen, knowing he'd catch it.
Despite it not being a Gaia Memory, he hoped that Sen would be at least be curious by what it all meant. With luck, Ryan's gamble would pay off. Almost expressionless, Ryan looked up Sen. The battle of wits and curiosity was about to begin.
((Take the bait Sen. :XP smile )

*Sen caught the medal, looking it over a bit before laughing. Tossing it back towards Ryan, he smirked a bit more. Jumping off the tree, he landed in front of the human crouched down. His scarf trailed behind him until snapping into a better position as he stood up. While standing fully up, he seemed taller than Ryan and looked down towards him.* That doesn't answer anything. Yes. I know you enjoy collecting evidence, so showing me such doesn't provide any solution to my inquiry. *Sen laughed a bit more, smirking to the human.* Now provide me with a real answer. Otherwise, I may have to find another of my people who has such "Gaia Memory" and are willing to trade information. Yes.

Ryan caught the cell medal just as Sen landed next to him. Predicting that would have been Sen's likely responses, he grinned. "Come now Sen." Ryan playfully taunted, "don't you want to know how one of your "kind" figured what you were?"
Pausing momentarily to judge Sen's reaction, Ryan decided to go ahead and play his hand. Glancing at the cell medal, he continued. "Your a mammal, aren't you?"
He purposely neglected how he arrived at this conclusion, including what he thought Sen truly was, for later.

*Sighing a bit, Sen walked away from the human before hopping up and crouching on the back-rest of a nearby bench. Knowing this would take a bit, he wanted to be a bit more relaxed.* I already informed you on it. This is nothing you have done on your own. Yes. In fact it was in the second question I answered, my introduction.
*Looking to the scarce few people around who had no idea what was going on, nor were anywhere too close by, he looked back to Ryan.* Don't change the subject either. This is about if your going to accept the deal or not. Yes. If your trying to prolong things and dig around, then I mine as well take my offer somewhere else.

It was then that ankh had emerged from the shadows.He had fallowed Ryan earlier, knowing that the human was going to seek out Sen. In his hand he held the busted pieces of a museum style gaia memory. "Maybe this will suffice. Or would you prefer to know exactly what I am? I am not a human as you know..well...not all of me."
The greed smirked. He looked at Ryan...intent on knowing what was going on and aiding in gathering information.

*Sen looked to the greeed as it came out of hiding finally. He watched them walk over then reveal not only a broken memory, but also an attempt to bait the Sinn as well. He smirked a bit, slightly intrigued by the approach.* Well, that is a tempting offer. Yes. Though it is broken, that could lead to me figuring what I want to know. *Looking to Ryan, he laughed slightly.* His offer is worth one question. So far you have nothing of value on the table. Care to out-barter him?
*Looking over to the greeed, he responded to the statement more than their question.* Your inhabiting that human, but you yourself aren't one. *He gave a more toothy grin to Ahnk.* Yes. Your cores are different than the ones I've delt with, but your much like their kind.

Ahnk? Ryan heard Ahnk's voice behind him and turned in time to see the greeed offer up the shattered memory. That fool. he thought upon seeing the broken memory.
Hearing Sen's comment, Ryan walked over to Ahnk and grabbed the hand that held the gaia memory, smirking a little he looked back over at Sen, "I'm afraid that this Memory wont be of any help." he said, referring the to the sheer amount of damage it had sustained and rust it had gathered.
Letting go of Ahnk's arm and turning to fully face Sen again he continued. "Alright Sen, since you've been fair and forthcoming to me, I'll do the same now.."
"Its true I having nothing to offer and even if I did I wouldn't give it to you. Gaia Memories," he said, "are dangerous. They are imbued with the very memories of the planet itself. They corrupt whoever uses them and bring nothing but destruction where ever they go and even mine is no exception." Ryan said, placing his arm over the spot where a certain connector used to be. His Fang Memory was truly different then the other riders after all.
"I can't give them to you," Ryan concluded, swearing he'd preform Memory Break on every Gaia Memory in the city if he had to. While he'd realized Sen was probably more full of it then even Ahnk was, he waited to to see what Sen asked or said of Gaia Memories next. The thought crossed his mind that maybe being forthcoming to Sen would do the trick and give both what they wanted. But just in case it didn't, Ryan didn't drop his guard.
((Yay! Ahnk is acting like Ahnk! 4laugh ))

*Crouching on his perch, he observed Ryan walk over to Ahnk and examine the memory. On hearing just how damaged it was, Sen's expression stayed the same. He knew that it would likely not help him understand the device fully, but it was more of an offer presented thus far and he was willing to work for the information if it came to painstaking examination and repair.
Upon the announcement that Ryan was now going to be more forthcoming in this trade, his toothy grin grew slightly. Not saying a word and simply listening, he absorbed everything the rider went on to say about the Gaia Memories, their function and their drawbacks. Mulling over what he said for a second, Sen hopped off the bench and landed on the ground.*
Memories of the planet? Hmm. Yes. *Sen walked around slowly while maintaining a somewhat crouched posture. Suddenly, he flipped over and onto his hands to do a handstand. Pacing around like that for a moment more, he flipped off his hands and onto his feet again, staring towards Ryan.*
I still want to study them, but this provides me with... more interesting prospects. Yes. You've fueled my curiosity further! *His grin seemed a bit more off putting than before, as if the bit of information had just told him something grander than Ryan was intending to divulge.* I'll answer one more question since you've decided to trade information directly. *He looked to the two of them for a moment before looking away somewhere else, as if something had just happened elsewhere in the city.*
The offer of the Gaia Memory for two questions will be enhanced however. *Looking back to them, he rose his hand up with a number of fingers displayed before them.* I'll answer three things for a Gaia Memory. Yes. Or, I'll trade something of equal value. *He knew such bait might work on them, especially Ahnk. While Sen could have just attacked them, or others, to steal it, he still preferred to be negotiable. Seemingly, he enjoyed the bartering they had been doing.*

Ryan's expression didn't change until Sen expressed his renewed interest and declaration of three questions or something of equal value would be traded. While the price for information had become to much Ryan pressed on "One more question, huh?"
Why not make make it two? he thought.
Thinking carefully for a moment, Ryan said "There's something else I should mention about Gaia Memories. Most will only work by using them on other people. In short, they'll turn people into monsters."
"Is that what you really want?" Ryan asked, not intending to use his only "answer," but to further warn Sen. Then the most obvious question started to come down on him.
What a minute, he thought to himself looking slightly down. What could he possibly want with a Gaia Memory anyway? There was only so far examining its mechanics and workings would get someone. There had to be more that he wasn't seeing!

*Sen watched Ryan's mind go to work, thinking of a good question. The gears continued to turn as Sen watched Ahnk's reaction, occasionally moving his head around to look at people off in the distance or things not visible. When the rider finally began talking and leading to his question, he laughed a bit in reaction. Jumping down, he stood up fully and shifted form into his monster-like appearance.*
Monster is a very relative term. I know what your getting at though. Yes. *The cape moved behind him as he walked, staying in the form to make his point.* I can't say for certain since I still need to examine it up close, but judging from what I know, there is more to them than you know. *Walking towards the two, he shifted back to his humanoid appearance.* My want of the Gaia Memory is for knowledge. I have no intention to corrupt my people. Or to change them as some are trying for while here. Yes.
*Catching the look down, a smirk crossed Sens face again. He knew that the gears were still working in the mind of the rider. More questions, more need for answers, more desire to learn the truths to the things around him. Truly, this person was an example of how his people reacted to things. Moving back away from them, he hopped up and landed in a tree again.*

That got Ryan's attention. The Foundation's goal? he thought. Which raised another question, where were they? And as Sen reverted to his monster form, yet another question came to mind. What is this guy's true goals?
Ryan folded his arms and closed his eyes, opening them as Sen again assumed his human form. "I assure you, my mentors knew everything there was to know of Gaia Memories. One of them," he paused, referring to Philip, "was closer to it then anyone. And they taught me everything they knew."
By now realizing he was playing more into Sen's hand, Ryan paused. Inhaling and exhaling he calmed his mind and worked to think of one question and one question only.
Hopefully what he put out there just now would give him some leeway.

*Crouched in the tree, Sen watched the two from his perch high up on top of it.* They knew everything on them. Hmm. *Sen took out a red core medal, showing it outwards. It was too far away to tell what the core medal was, but it was clearly a core.* I doubt they knew much on these, however. As such, I doubt they can know everything there is to know about this or any planets "memories". Yes.
*After shuffling the medal away, he paused a moment longer. A larger smirk crossed his face.* I think a more beneficial offer might be to give you the information I learn. Yes. If your my people's lead in the knowledge, then it wouldn't hurt to know more on the subject. *Motioning his hand towards the broken memory Ahnk had brought as well as Fang Memory, he laughed a bit.*
I do know those "Gaia Memory" come in many types. Yes. Based on the condition of that broken one, scarcity of supply and distribution and the knowledge of there being multiple iterations, I can safely say that you don't know everything. Not it's true source, potential, or how to fully implement it. *His smirk turned toothy a bit once again.*
You've had trouble with your memory in the past I bet. That device you use to fight. Does that make you a monster, or might I say it is an advanced method to implement a faulty method of transference. Yes. *Sen's gears were turning as well at the moment, chewing through the few things he knew on the memories while also processing other factors at the moment.*

"But you do?" Ryan said, referring to Sen mentioning that he nor his mentors knew anything and ignoring the Core Medal that Sen held.
His demeanor changed however when Sen mentioned Ryan's past with the Gaia Memory. He couldn't help it and he lowered his head slightly, remembering those times going berserk. "You could say that." he said finally, though not with as much confidence as he had. It was a sensitive subject for him after all.

"Fascinating how you two can just blather on but i got knowledge as well. Knowledge of how my kind came into being, about how we were...sealed away for quite some time. And lets not forget about why i am just an arm." Ankh's right arm turned into its true form.
"Lets trade knowledge for knowledge shall we?"
