Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gene Data. A hell of a lot of gene data.

That about summarizes my official business for the past couple weeks. Going through it, checking it over, improving computer models. One set of things in particular I found very interesting.

[Long treatise on genetic trends in chimeras appears here]


Another thing. D-Corp's dragons. Quite interesting creatures, they are. I don't end up doing much with them, most of the time. But still. Observing them. It's a wonder you don't see and hear more about them, really.

I was going through some records and [Data Omitted].



In other news, I came across another number (okay, a lot of them, but one in particular) that is apparently tasked with surveillance and security cameras. That girl is a total loon. Gotta remember to spoof her cameras if she ever puts some in my offices.

What makes her interesting, though, is I overheard her rambling about how the stuffed toys are evil, and watching us to steal our souls, or something. That was a good laugh. But...she's serious! I'm really considering going and buying a few different teddy bears and the like (of various sizes), and hiding them in and around her work space. Specifically, in "watchful" sorts of spots.

For my own part, I have a little stuffed toy shark that sits atop a shelf. Quite sinister in its cuteness, I'm sure.

It's been busy around here recently--And not just because of pagan/christian traditions. D-Corp's been abuzz with hatchings, checkups on growing dragons, and the kids that go with them, too. There was also this very interesting glowing egg that somebody dug up.

The boss had me do some scans on it, although I wasn't allowed to take any samples. Gotta wait until it hatches, or some such. The thermal scans were interesting, and they're gonna special-grow a new kid just for the egg. Something about powerful magic.

Magic. That's really something. At some point I should look into that stuff. Get the cold gaze of science on that, and see how it ticks. But I have a job to do in the mean time.

Magic aside, my spectral and thermal analyses lead to a few interesting observations...

[The standard collection of esoteric thoughts about specific gene sequences, along with cross-reference images and related images from other species, appears here.]

I am looking forward to watching these new species as they grow larger.



My "extra-curricular" observations have progressed a bit--"The Subject" has relocated to a temporary nest, and she apparently feels the need to obsessively check all her small, fluffy 'prisoners,' whom she clearly believes are watching and waiting for something.

To test reaction to unanticipated 'prisoners,' I added a new one (a small 'beanie baby' parrot) to one of her boxes while she was occupied with other matters. I believe it is one of the boxes that she will not be opening until she has located a new cave to dwell in and peer suspiciously out from.

The oversized bear that I acquired for testing purposes currently resides in my office closet while I await an opportunity to leave it in the subject's desk chair--preferably right after she has her new office, and is getting lunch, or tending to her vital needs. Timing something like that is difficult, however, so I must be careful.

It's been pretty peaceful around here. There are some new faces floating around. I saw a colorful snake, and...I think it was a duck, and a few others. Sometimes it's hard to tell right away what these little kids are spliced with.

Heh. Spliced. It's like I perpetually live in one big scifi movie...except there are less alien or mutant horrors floating about trying to kill everyone. Hopefully The Boss doesn't get any bright ideas from that thought.


Every now and then, I think to myself, "what the hell have I gotten into here?" The thought comes with no small amount of incredulity and possibly horror. Then I spin around in my chair and look at the latest marvel of science placed on my desk and forget all about it. D-Corp is completely insane, but it's so very fascinating to be here.

Plus, I don't think the company's evil--Not enough goons wearing face masks. 446 certainly looks the part of evil henchman, though. She's freaky. And the hobo guy. What the hell?


I thought I saw my younger brother the other day...but it might have been my imagination. He's way too much of a slacker to be useful around here. I thought about going and finding out if I did see him, but then I remembered that I had some cultures that I had to check over before they grew too much or died off completely, so I'll just have to wait until I see him again, or whoever that was, to figure out if I was right.
