"You should dress in whatever you are comfortable with, then lie down on the bed and tell me when to begin. And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for what those b@$+@rd$ did to you." Stern told the vulpine, sighing as he spoke.

"I...I don't really have....any other clothes...." Aimee told him with a small sigh "But, um, thanks anyway for your concern" she sighed some more as she soon, walked over to the bed and just simply, lay down upon her back "You can start when you want"

Noname · **Reply #1062 on:** April 02, 2010, 03:32:36 AM

"You should lie on your stomach, girl. I can't really reach your tail if you are lying on it" Stern told her with a laugh. Despite all the changes, Aimee was still silly on occasion. The Corporal was glad to see her keep some of that spirit.

Aimee looked at Stern with a rather quick little smile before she just rolled over onto her stomach with another little sigh again, the images from the DVD were still rather fresh in her mind at the moment as she just, for the time being, remained quiet.

The acid dripped off the Omega soldier's visor but it made it impossible to see.

Another Omega trooper picked up the metal desk and hurled it aside. his powered armor whirring as it did so.

The other soldiers filed in.

"Deathwind! We have your surrounded! Surrender or we will use lethal force!" Omega Leader ordered.

The other troopers readied their deadly gauss guns.

Dr. Zanasiu, Zachary and Neville were in their rooms.

Dr. Zansasiu was taking a shower.

Zachary and Neville were watching TV.

Stern moved over to Aimee and gently took her tail in his hands, caressing it with care.

"How's this feel, Aimee? Do you need me to go faster? Slower? Up or down"?

Shelton had retrieved two energy drinks from a vending machine in the lobby, and was walking back to his room.

He passed Werner, who was sitting down reading a newspaper. "Hey," said Werner.

Shelton turned. "What?"

"So, you're sharing a room with Shakila?"

"Yeah. What of it?"

"Nothing." Werner folded the newspaper and put it down. "How old is she anyway?"

"Never asked," replied Shelton. "Maybe around around twenty. Why?"

"Dunno."

"I don't know what you're insinuating," Shelton narrowed his eyes, "but I needed a mostly private room to get ready for the operations. Shakila kindly offered me one."

"Wasn't that nice of her." Werner folded his arms.

"Look, I'm really tired now, and I don't feel like explaining myself to you--"

"--Hey, I'm not judging, you can do whatever you like in your private time. This is a dangerous business, and we could all die any day, so carpe diem, or carpe noctem in this case."

"This conversation is over." Shelton resumed his walk to his room.

***

Shelton came up to his and Shakila's room and knocked. He had an energy drink in his hand and another tucked in his belt.

Aimee at first, didn't quiet hear what Stern had said, granted, she wasn't really paying attention to it, but was enjoying the attention he was giving her at the moment, just laying there rather contently.

Shakila had the TV on and was more or less chanel surfing at the moment as she heard the knock on the door "It's unlocked!" she called out so that Shelton could hear her over the TV.

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1068 on:** April 03, 2010, 12:51:43 AM

Shelton came in. "Thanks." He took out the second energy drink. "Teach that clerk to mouth off to me." He looked over at Shakila. "Leaned over the drink machine and got me two free energy drinks. Told him next time to let me use the damn coffee pot."

Shelton took a screwdriver out and started unscrewing the hinges on the door. "Sorry about this, I need it for an operating table. How many beds we got?"

MrDrake · **Reply #1069 on:** April 03, 2010, 12:54:09 AM

"From what I counted, just the one, which you can take....I'll be rather happy on the couch, so you don't need to worry about me" Shakila replied back to Shelton as she looked over "Operating table huh? Oh yeah, those Dragonstorm chips, that's right....the procedure wont be....painful or anything, will it?"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1070 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:00:49 AM

"Naw," said Shelton, picking up the door and walking it over to the bed. He ripped the top blanket off, laid the door down, and put the blanket back on. "You paid for the room, you get the bed. I'll remake it, after the procedures are done."

He placed a pillow where the curve of the spine should go, to force the patient's head to lean back and give him easier access to the sinuses. "No. You'll be unconscious when I insert the thought chip, and it only takes a minute. Don't worry, I've done this scores of times before. There were only five of us embedders at Dragonstorm, and we had to do everyone in the organization." He glanced at the television. "What are you watching?"

MrDrake · **Reply #1071 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:04:36 AM

"Hey, paying for the room was nothing, half the time, back at my own place, I would fall asleep on the couch you know, never really used my bed half the time, you look like you need a bed anyway, especially since you told me you need a proper bed, so take it, I insist....and I'm not going to take no for an answer" Shakila told him back in regards to the bed.

She then looked over to what Shelton was doing "Well, that's good to hear then, I'd rather trust you than anyone else at the moment" she spoke with a small laugh "And as for what I'm watching, nothing much really, nothing is really on the TV....boring programs as usual"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1072 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:17:31 AM

"They didn't have television at Dragonstorm," said Shelton. "And internet was strictly regulated. I've don't think I've ever gone so long without seeing TV, Tropes or otherwise."

He prepared the ampoules of Propofol for injection. "I've got just enough for five people," he said, taking another swig of his energy drink. "I just hope they arrive soon, before the caffeine runs its course and I crash on my own."

MrDrake · **Reply #1073 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:23:30 AM

"So, did you say you wanted to get everyone done together and all at once?" Shakila asked him, just to make sure as she stretched out on the couch "Because if not, you can always gets me done first, although, I do recall you saying that you needed to teach us five one how to use these chips"

She then paused for a moment or two, looking at him "And, if you want to be kept up, perhaps some actual coffee would do well? Like....Starbucks perhaps? Although I'm not a fan of their stuff myself"

Noname · **Reply #1074 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:25:59 AM

Stern let go of Aimee and asked about the 'procedure.'

"When exactly will we get these chips? I know I am one of those who will receive it. Will it take a long time to put in?"

aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) · **Reply #1075 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:30:39 AM

"I can do you now, if you want, but you have to go to bed immediately afterward, and I thought you might like to watch and see how the process goes on the others," he said, tucking the top blanket in tightly enough that the door was outlined through the blanket. "And the others should be here any minute, so I don't think we have time for a coffee shop. I'd love to later, though. Maybe while the others are shopping tomorrow."

MrDrake · **Reply #1076 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:34:33 AM

Shakila just looked at Shelton as she gave off a shrug "Alright, alright, I'll wait for the others, probabally is best to see how this whole procedure actually goes" she told him.

"And as for Starbucks, alright, I guess we can go tomorrow, if you would actually like to" she added on with a smile towards him as well.

***

Aimee just shrugged back "Not sure about that, you'd have to go find Shelton again and ask him about it" she told him a bit quietly in a manner of speaking, just feeling content right now, much more relaxed than what she was after watching the DVD.

Dr. Zanasiu and Hans entered the room.

"Let's get this over with so I can go to sleep," Dr. Zanasiu said with a yawn.

---------------------

Alfred was working out in the gym. He was doing some squats with a barbell. Two burly Clydesdale spotter was standing nearby.

True to Sgt. Master's words, he had stuck as many weights as were allowed on the barbell - a little over 2,000 pounds.

A man on the treadmill watched in stunned shock as Alfred went through his exercises.

"It's a date." Shelton was focusing on securing the door from moving around when someone knocked politely on the wall next to where the wall used to be. "Come in," he said off-handedly.

Hans looked into the room. "Hey. Why is the door...?"

"I need it for the table." Shelton stood up and swigged his drink again. "Are you ready?"

Hans shifted his feet. "Will it hurt?"

"No. You'll be unconscious. And you have to go to bed immediately afterwards."

Hans steeled himself. "Sure. Let's do it."

MrDrake · **Reply #1079 on:** April 03, 2010, 01:49:17 AM

"A date huh? Can't wait" Shakila spoke with a bit of a purr as she looked over to Hans and Dr. Zanasiu, sitting up as she rested her head upon the back of the couch "So, do we still have to wait for Stern as well? Him and that Dr. Landon guy as well?" she asked Shelton in particular "Oh, and what's more, I don't mind when I do actually get done, as long as I can get it over and done with"
