"I already have seem its mama, if Shep's photos are accurate." Socrates responded, ever calm. He was still figuring out how it swam. "Have you cats done that kind of swim before?" He asked pointing. Clearly he was unaware of, or unmoved by, their taunts. "I realize your tails would not be large enough to create the thrust, but your legs could be powerful enough to compensate."

Janxi looked down at her massive left bicep narrowing her eyes. In subdued coloration was the insignia of RLT Force Recon One. It featured a set of naval jump wings, with a sleek, superimposed combat diver. It had an intel torch and a pathfinder's wing. Then her gaze fell to her chest, with a dark grey set of jump wings. Hung above was a marine combat swimmer's device. Jaguars were natural swimmers and force recon were some of the best-trained swimmers in the universe.
"You should ask Tori. I think she can dog-paddle," she said as she looked back up to Socrates with a lick of her nose.

Socrates watched the alligator, flicking his eyes to the fish to see if they showed the same movement. He also wondered if navies figured out how to implement similar efficiencies in their ships.
The momentary distraction aside, he still kept his mystic senses open to make sure nothing too intersting snuck up on them.

Tori gave a short snort. Dog paddling, indeed...
"Well, Socrates, obviously, we are not four legged belly runners like your little friend there. As two-leggers, we swim more like humans. Janxi and I know all competitive strokes and fast, too. As combat swimmers, we use combat sidestroke for stealth, load-carrying and ti minimize our profile. Underwater, we can use normal diving equipment, but our most natural form is a feline-hybrid style. We kick our legs behind us, sort of like a dolphin or in a scissor kick, depending on what our species prefers. Tails work like rudders, and we use our arms for quick movement, added speed or steering. That's how I got one of my nicknames. I happen to swim about like an otter."

Richardson tries to block out his surroundings. He closes his eyes and bangs his head against the bulkhead lightly. He spots the doctor and walks towards her he says, "Hey Doctor I need some help."

Autumn hears a call for her help and gets up and tires to mozzy on over to where Richardson is. "OK, sit down and look up." Reaching into her bag she pulls out a pen light and starts doing a quick check-up looking in his eyes to check on concussions. Subconsciously she comments aloud "Hey, your eyes are green. I never noticed that before!" Realizing that was not her internal voice she shuts up and continues looking him over.

After she is done she pulls out some drugs. "Here this should eliminate any side effects or headaches, but you do not seem to have a concussion or anything!" Still nervous because of the earlier comment she tries to break the conversation with humor.... "Will it make you feel better if I kiss the boo-boo!"

Richardson smiles, "I appreciate all your efforts doctor." He reaches out and grasping both his hands around hers, he closes her hands around the pills. "I don't have a booboo though," he can't help but smirk before turning serious and continuing. "I just need you to talk to me distract me from where we are. I'm not afraid of flying, and I'm not afraid of the water, but I don't like the idea of being trapped in a tin can and relying on that tin can to keep me safe. I know its necessary, but I still don't like it."

"You know," As she sits down and pulls out a note pad, "Did you wish to talk about it!"

Richardson frowns, "umm no, I need to be distracted. To think or talk about something else." He sits down next to her so he can lower his voice and just whisper to her, "you know Doctor I'm having a hard time reading you. Some moments your like this hard shelled analytical doctor type that almost seems completely unapproachable. And other times you say things like about my eyes and kissing my boo boos. Getting to know you has been real interesting so far. I want to get to know the sweet doctor inside you. The one that likes my eyes," he says as he nudges her with a shoulder shrug.

Autumns eyes go really wide at his suggestion of something more then a proffessional relationship and the stutter returns if just for a moment. "Wh-wh-what? Get to kn-kn-know me." Realizing what he just did she shuts her eyes and realizes a way out. Once eyes opened she is collected again. "Me, well let me see here I grew up at Lonestar under the tutelage of Dr. Bradford. I spent most of the time learning and doing everything at night. I started to intern around 14 for medical, and then continued learning till I was 17. What else do you wish to know?"

"We're team mates, and I hope one day friends. Of course I would like to get to know you. So you stopped learning when you were 17? What did you do between then and now?"

"Oh no silly. No one ever stops learning. But most of the time I worked for Dr. Bradford doing things as they are needed. Mostly patching up those that needed it and other research required. Oh I also did experimentation on new means of vaccines and such. There was this one time when I was 19 I was working on......." And she starts to go on a tirade on stuff well above Richardsons head. (At least I surmise)

Richardson interrupts her with a chuckle, "So I'm silly now huh? I don't mean to cut you off, but that stuff is over my head. I'm just a farm boy turned soldier. Do you like medicine?"

Being interrupted kinda catches her off guard and she makes a slight disappointed that he does not seem to care about the story but takes it in stride. "I am not sure, but Medicine is the only thing I have ever known! So I guess the answer is yes! I do like medicine!"

"Its good that you like it. Almost sad that you haven't had opportunity to try anything else. Maybe one day I can take you and show you what life on the farm is like," looking right at her he notices her disappointment, "I am really sorry for interrupting you though. You can continue your story if you would like."
He looks at her and cocks his head to the side as if trying to figure something out, 'One moment she is this confident doctor, totally professional, the next she's like a teenager that is new to the world. I don't think she even realizes it. Actually she probably does, thats where the stutter comes form.'
