The Three Demons

[albatross]

Strongbow boards the plane, having been quiet during the encounter with Lightning. She had been paying attention, but there was little point now. Her and Tiger got the plane back into the air and plotted a course to Japan. Tiger took the first flight leg. Strongbow went back to the small workshop aboard, to see Jeckle and Dante's progress on producing more of the testers. Jeckle had been able to contact one of the scientists on the main project. His responses had been much more wordy than Tiger's, and Jeckle suspected some of the words were made up by the project team. He doesn't have much more info than Tiger. The main group has managed to replicate Tiger's work, but they still don't understand all the hows and whys, only that it does work.

Jeckle nods, then logs out. her simple comment might be overheard or not. but it's clear she's not thrilled with talking to the scientists.

'what a bunch of narrow minded-lame brained-head up the *** of their next of kin. better off working on my own. top minds my ***'

*she resumes working once again, then puts the tools down and closes up her workspace.

'oh .. hello Strongbow. i'll leave you two alone then. if i try working now, it'll get worse instead of better. man i need a cola .. but i'm detoxing now .... '

With everyone else busy, Khris made his way up to the cockpit. He slid into the co-pilot seat, and looked at the gauges," Far too complicated for me. So, just you and me Tigger, all of the kids are busy playing in the workshop. Do you think this plan can work?"

[shiivster]

Jeckle moves to one of her bags that is nearly empty and rummages about and comes up with a box of juice. not the best drink, but its sweet and has some sugar and will fuel her when she gets back to work.

*as she sips the juice, she wonders if its possible she could get the tester to light up. 'yeah right .. who am i kidding. smart maybe .. young? .. not anymore .. and killer moves? .. only if i have to take it apart or rebuild .. so much for that idea of being helpful ... '

*she resumes sipping and letting the juice cool off her current anger at the 'head scientists'. maybe she could fix one to be a little better? aww who's she kidding, she couldn't get the thing to spark up if she wanted to. not that she would try ....

[albatross]

Tiger considers Kris' question for a moment. "I'll have a better answer for that question once we land a recruit or two. How about I pass and you can ask me again once we know more? The others are in the workshop? Good. It will take quite a while to figure out all the different parts to that thing."

[Dome]

Dante says to Jeckle," so what part do you want to try and work on next?"

When Strongbow comes in, Dante smiles. His face visibly brighter. "How are you Bel?"

[sasqaricious]

Akane semi bored feels the demon blood in her getting restless and seeing she is already as rested as she can be gets up and goes and explores. Spotting the three of them (Strongbow, Jeckle and Dante) she decides to go see what they are doing.

[shiivster]

Jeckle shoves her irritation onto the back burner. it makes for excellent fuel when the food energy runs out.

'well the way i figure it, we're gonna need to get 3 of these built. i got some tools and stuff, but i think i'll get a second tester made and working on a third before i run out of gear' *she rummages for some paper schematics and hands it to Dante 'that's what we're building .. now ... oh hello'

*Jeckle pauses and is now looking up at Akane and almost puts the paper into Dante's ear when shifting her gaze.

[dakota]

" Deal." Khris nodded. " Yeah they're all in there. Except for us that is." He smirked. " Too bad their's no autopilot."

[albatross]

Tiger unzips her flight suit a few inches down her cleavage and smirks at Kris, "Stop it, you'll make me crash the plane."

Zipping the flight suit back up, she resumes a serious tone. "Say, this next recruit seems to be unique. Info is sketchy, she might be a vigilante, but the data I've got suggests she hangs out with all the wrong crowds."

"I've been thinking, Jeckle could probably use some more workshop time. If you're the backup, then that means Strongbow, Dante and Akane could come in with me. Do you think that is a good idea? Strongbow's about a stone's throw away from being a nun. I have trouble imagining her in a den of drug dealers or other unsavory places. And Akane knows alot about demons, but she doesn't exactly blend in. Might attract the wrong kind of attention. What do you think?"

[dakota]

Khris held his arms out. " You read my dossier? You've been hanging out with the wrong crowd too." He smirked. " And look how I turned out.Why don't Dante and I go in, and the the ladies watch we don't get in trouble?"

[albatross]

"So I get to be the sniper this time? Ok, I'd better give you my list of questions then." Tiger replies.

[dakota]

" Don't get too excited." Khris warned with a mocking tone. " I like my job, but this sounds like the kind of place more suited to me than one of the others."

[Dome]

Still waiting for Bel to answer him, Dante can't help but look up as Akane comes in. He says, "Hi Akane, how are you?"

To Bel he sends, 'Are you ok? Your very quiet.'

[shiivster]

Jeckle simply puts the paper down on the table and sets something on it to keep it in place. she nods to the young teammate and ponders why her body tempurature is so high, then shrugs

'you're not sick are you? you got a high body temp. hmm .. i wonder ... ' *a random thought crosses her mind about 'magic' and 'body tempuratures' perhaps magic beings that have more power, have a higher body temp.

'oh .. now that would be really dumb ... ' *she shakes her head and looks at the thing she was working on and her mind resumes its job right where it left off at Akane's entrance
