Welcome to Gaia! ::

The library was always a sort of haven for the timid cadet. Severin enjoyed reading up on all sorts of things, from the records of battles in the past to things like botany. Today, he was reading up on some history, namely the details of the destruction of the Death Saurer.

He had to wonder what it was like to have to face such a monstrosity. He was curious as to how the people who fought it strategised. After all, the tactics would be quite different for people to face an army than it would to face one giant and extremely powerful Zoid. Personally, he didn't think he could deal with meeting with something like that.

As he poured through the books, his organoid, Miles sat by obediently. The black wolf looked about attentively, watching the few other patrons of the library. He was fairly familiar with the library, seeing how Severin liked to visit it.

Lorna headed toward the library, a quiet place to get away from people hopefully, Ares was being swarmed for a weapons check again. it was a pain when she already and constantly checked the weapons making sure the units weren't loose and such, but still. They had to get the mechanics to do it regardless.

A quiet place that was alwasy hard to come by, Lorna started moving through the shelves of books, pausing at a shelf opposite Dinah and Sverin looking for a book to read about mechanics. Maybe if she studied more she could get them off Ares finally with her own ability with Maintenance.

her finger scanned the titles until she found one she was looking for. "There you are." she whispered under her breath pulling a thick book from mechanics off the shelf.

He waited and supressed a laugh while the guy startled. Heh, it wasn't really hard to do. Heck! Dinah probably couldn't sneak up on someone if he really tried. But in a library? He was just plain awesome.

A pleased smirk crossed his face.

"Right... I'm sure there is one one out there still. Somewhere. Maybe in a lab being tested on. Or being minaturized for some sick play toy or something.." He leaned against the table and absently thumbed through the book that had the most pictures. ( Yes. He researched which books had the most pictures for times like this. ) "I think it would be fun. Hard, but fricking fun. "

Allistar wagged his tail and sat down, tilting his head to the side and everyone around him. Not really a good place to be, what with shelves all around and what not, but hey! He couldn't complain. He'd rather be outside. Suddenly bored, he laid himself down and rolled onto his side to complete the bored look.

Dinah gave a wave to the girl through the shelves. He had spotted her, but he figured he'd wait a bit. One one-thousand, two-one thousand... Long enough! "Howdy Lorna! Whatcha got there? "

Severin nearly let out a whimper at the thought of a death saurer still out there. Something as destructive as that shouldn't ever exist in his opinion. There was just no good that could come out of it really.

"I don't know about that..." he responded quietly. Being in the heat of battle wasn't all that ideal to him. If there was a way to avoid a conflict without loosing out too much, he'd go with that. Not to mention that his ability to fight really wasn't that great compared to others. He'd have to find a way to take down his opponents without tackling them head on.

And against a Death Saurer... there weren't many other ways aside from 'head on'*

Looking over towards Lorna again, he tilted his head as she mentioned what book she was looking through. A handy choice she seemed to have made. He probably could brush up on mechanics himself too sometime.

"Is there something wrong with your Z-zoid? Or just for future re-reference?"

Allister wasn't the only one who was bored. Miles just tried to relax while idly listening in on the humans around them. It would be nice to go run around, but that wasn't a good idea in this area.

((*Apply directly to the forehead))

"It's for future reference, more or less." she told to Severin "Ares is going through a maintenance check right now, it should be almost finished." The more they saw how well he was maintained the less checks they would have to do. And the better for her, she hated it when others fiddled around with her Zoid.

find a Deathsaurer was he suicidal? The answer seemed apparent, enthusiastic about it too. Lorna sighed inwardly again what an idiot.

"I take it you dislike math," she said flipping to the next page now that she started from the beginning. Lorna glanced to the wolf Organoids, they were pretty cute she supposed, it might be nice to have one as a friend she thought absently before focusing back on the book though she kept her ears open to any other comments that would be made.

Dinah did come off as suicidal. But he really just wanted to test his power against the larger Zoid. Maybe that would bring the pack together. A pack of wolves could take down almost anything! He frowned softly at the lack of confidence in the other two.

"No. It isn't. But it would be a great adventure and it would put our names in those books, huh? " he laughed softly and kneeled down, ruffling Allister's head like he would a real dog. Allister didn't really like it, but he tolerated it. After all, sometimes a boy just needed a dog and not a wolf. "I think I'd rather face a deathsaurer than the political ring. Sounds saner. "

Dinah raised an eyebrow at Lorna. No. He just didn't care to do all that work when it didn't get him anywhere but halfway down a page of paper and a headache to follow. "Not that kind of math. But That's pretty neat, I guess. I mean...if you want to end up spending days re-routing systems only to find them routed back... I say let the mechanics handle it. They know what they're doing. They went to school for that. "

The idea of making an impact on history seemed nice and all, but Severin wasn't exactly shooting for that. A large part of that was simply because he didn't really have the confidence to believe he could make it. But, Dinah did have a point. Political affairs were probably just as terrifying as a deathsaurer. Though facing things politically could land him a lifetime of humiliation while the worse the deathsaurer could do is kill him.

"It still wouldn't hurt to learn some t-tricks in case..." he agreed with Lorna, "A-any info you know could always come h-handy later on.."

He was bored, that much was obvious, Lorna could care less though "At least you can see it." she replied flipping another page. Though the chance was not as slim as he thought with all these strange happenings lately. The chances of that happening had increased.

She looked up from the book, "That is true." she agreed with Severin. It was better to prepare for everything regardless if it would happen tomorrow or not, after all one could never know what would happen the next day.
