[b]The Brilliant Geniuses[/b]
Two Exos enter the room, one a female the other male, carrying large amounts of boxes and gadgets. They enter the lab and set down the materials wherever they please and begin to start unpacking. Shay and Leon just watch from the other room, as the two make quite an odd pair and they didn't understand a word they were saying. It wasn't because of their accent, which appears to have derived from the country of England, back when it still existed.
"Whoa, whoa, watch where you're puttin your things!" The male Exo exclaims as the female Exo places a box near some of his stuff. "You almost crushed my Nightshade side arm!"
"Well, it's on my stuff, and I invented it anyway, and there's no way we're calling it the Nightshade." The female Exo replies, her accent a little cleaner to understand than her male counterpart.
"The bullets work. Nonlethal, heavy stopping power, break up under the subcutaneous tissue."
"Yes, yes relax Gandhi, I know they're nonlethal." The female Exo replies as she throws one of her empty boxes to the ground and reaches for another one.
"I thought you were working on making them cause total paralysis?" The male Exo replies examining the gun.
"I'm not a Wizard, Edison." The female Exo comments as she removes some test tubes from one of her boxes.
"You should have run the specs by me before building the molds. The bullets are hollow." Edison-12 replies setting the weapon down and moving to one of his other boxes.
"It's a marvel I can keep them from breaking apart in the chamber." The other Exo says with a bit a sass in her tone.
"Or read a book. Have you ever heard of physics or...what's the other one?... inertia? It's not particularly difficult Tess."
Soon a knock comes from the door separating the lab from the rest of the space. The two Exo's turned to look at Leon, who had been watching them from the doorway.
"Uhhhh, Tesla-18 and Edison-12?" Leon questions as he walks in carrying a communication device in his hand.
"Hello, I'm engineering. She's biochem." Edison-12 responds.
"I can introduce myself, thank you. Hi I'm Tesla-18, but you can call me Tess for short." She replies cheerfully.
"Yea, look so Shay said I'd need my remote comm receiver encoded. Don't know if you've worked with that model before. It's..." But before Shay could finish Edison took the device in his hand and smashed it on the table into smaller pieces. "Brand-new..." Leon lets out a sigh.
"He'll repurpose the I.D.I.S. chip." Tesla-18 replies and he throws another empty box to the ground and starts to put her things way.
"Yeah, you don't really need the external receiver for inner-ear comms anymore. Just isn't done that way anymore." Edison comments as he starts to tinker with the pieces of the broken comms device.
"Then, uh, how does it do, you know, it's thing?" Leon asks stepping into the lab.
"Embedded sensorineural silicone matched to your DNA."
"It's quite posh actually." Tesla-18 comments as she starts arrange microscopes along one of the long work stations from smallest to largest. "So, are you excited to be coming on our journey into mystery?" She gleefully asks
"Uhhh, yeah, it's like Christmas in July." Leon replies sarcastically.
"Hey, did you ever hear the one about the guy who's afraid of flying?" Shay asks as he rests his arm on Leon's shoulder who is quick to brush him off.
"I've done a night jump into a drop zone under heavy fire, sir. I can handle it." Leon responds
"That was a joke....you know what I'm not gonna tell it now." Shay replies.
"Shay, I just received a message from Chiharu's Ghost, we've found the whereabouts of our last member." His Ghost replies
"Sir I still think you should reconsider bringing on that future seeing fanatic. And....wait did he say Chiharu?" Leon asks as he follows Shay to the upper level of their new headquarters.
"That's what I heard." Leon's Ghost chimes in.
"She's not joining for combat purposes." Shay replies.
"Come on, sir. What game are you playing?" Leon questions.
"Better get out of that suit and into some armor Leonhardt, we're moving out."
"How does he know you're full name?" Leon's Ghost asks.
"It's in the database, I had to write my full name when I joined."
