Welcome to Gaia! ::

The tip of a screw driver tapped sharply on the metallic casing that was yet to be installed onto its unit, the young Grunt named Faleen was standing with her elbow leaned over the work bench, humming softly to herself as her eyes scanned over a large sheet of paper that was covered in intricate building plans for a machine she was in the process of assembling.

The Robotics division had just gotten the parts they had needed in for one of the security turret drones, something that made the grunt extremely pleased, and right when she had come in for her shift she began to assemble the first one.
She was looking forward to a long productive day

Umbreon lay with his head on his paws in the far corner of the lab, his eyes closed in a light sleep, next to him was the large, furrier Absol, he seemed to be a lot more interesting it what his master was doing, his dark, expressionless stare was lingering, unmoving on her. It was almost creepy how still he was.

The Grunt had her dark blond hair pulled back into a high ponytail to keep her hair from her eyes, gloves off and tossed over the unused chair sitting off to the side of the work bench. One leg crossed under the other, heavy boot tapping subconsciously along with her humming.

The knock had drawn Faleen’s attention away from her work, at the same time, with one quick movement; the still gaze of the Absol has darted to the door.
Wondering who it was, Faleen had straightened up to go and answer the door, when the person on the other side let themselves in.
“Oh, Agent Nyx,” There was hint of surprise was in Faleen’s voice as she stiffened her posture in the presence of the Agent, not expecting the Scientist to here.
Eyebrows arching when the Agent asked her a favor, she nodded and stepped forward. “Ma’am? What can I help with?”
She did have a lot to do, but Faleen wasn’t one to decline a request from a higher rank.

The Grunt was rather curious, she didn’t have much to do at all with the science labs, or the Rockets who worked in them, so she was curious why Agent Nyx would be asking her for a favor, unless they broke one of their machines or something, ohh~ that would be an interesting contraption to peek around in.

Once again, a situation that was unexpected, Faleen blinked a couple of times, processing the request.
"To the Ski resort?" she knew where that was.

Her first instinct told her that she really wanted to work on her robots, work came first over a holiday, but who was asking her, and for what reason did not escape the dark blond.
Agent Nyx was uncomfortable asking this of her, she was a higher rank... and it did mean getting to drive.
"Oh, uh, okay, I can do that, when was it that you wanted to leave?"

Did Absol just hear the word Mountains... that meant snow... oh yes, finally! did this mean getting away from this desert?

well, she had today to finish what she could at least, she would have to be sure to get to bed at a reasonable time tonight to be able to drive alert tomorrow.
"Understood, is there a requited or recommended supply list?" she asked, with a slight incline of her head to the side.

"Uh, it shouldn't be a problem, Ma'am, I work most days, but I get this weekend coming up off, so it actually works out."
More then likely she would have come in anyway just to work on the projects more, its what she normally did with her free time, but she wasn't going to deny this request.
"I will have a vehicle signed out, and ready for you in the morning."

The door did open after a moment, and Faleen stood in the doorway to greet the smaller agent.
"Good morning Agent Nyx" she greeted with a friendly smile.
Faleen was, for once, not wearing her Grunt uniform, instead, she had a pare of tan cargo pants on, a plain dark t-shirt, and her usual boots underneath.

"I was just on my way to the garage, you have good timing"
Leaving the door open, Faleen moves back into her room, to pick up a lightly packed backpack from the bed and slung it over her shoulder, plucking her jacket up off of the chair when she passed on her way back to the door.
"I'll get you there by ten if the roads are not terrible"
She said again, closing the door behind her and gesturing politely for her toward the direction of the garage.

With quite the opposite feeling about driving, Faleen happily took the keys, throwing the backpack and jacket in the back seat, the grunt wore a smile as she patted the hood of the Jeep before hopping in and made the needed adjustments to the front seat and mirrors.

Lips parting slightly in a curious look when Agent Nyx asked her a question, but at the topic she smiled brightly again her cheeks seeming to flush a little.
"For as long as I could remember, they are an amazing science." she spoke, fondly.
"And your science?"

The engine roared to life, a welcoming sound when Faleen turned the key, shifting it into gear and pulling out of the garage into the wide open sandy desert.
"Would you mind adding the location to the GPS please." she asked

"I remember you mentioning that when I met that one clone of yours. how is that project going?"

Looking away from the sands ahead of, sparing a glance toward the GPS when it told them to get on a main road.
"Well thats what I'm doing" she spoke to the electronic tool, in such a casual way. "just be ready when I get there" It was clear she did not often with machines.
She shook her head and looked back out the wind shield, as Nyx gave her more a precise direction to head
"South by South East, Yes Ma'am"
Making a few adjustments she leaned back into her seat comfortably, running her fingers down the outside of the wheel, keeping it straight.
