Matfey nodded. "That's good. Some experts believe that algae could be useful as a food source. I'm writing a paper on it as well as some other papers on the migration of dolphins and whales in this area. There are a lot of humpback whales around here. As for bacteria, some are good and some are bad, you just have to know the difference. I guess they sent you here to continue your research." Matfey then asked, "So how long have you been here?"

"It's an abandoned submarine from Allegheny," she answered. "It's kind of just sat here, to be honest. We notified their government, but no one's claimed it." Shrugging, she walked over to it and began pushing some of the cloth off of it. "Strange, right? One would think they didn't want it anymore or something. Or maybe they just haven't the time to go down here and claim it. At any rate, no one's used it since their crew left." She observed the sub and reminded herself to search for a metallic mesh material.

So'rohs stared at the abandoned Allegheny sub for several seconds before shivering slightly.
"I don't know what is up with it, but it gives me the creeps. I really do not like it. I hope someone claims it back soon..."

So'rohs packed away his equipment.
"Bad experiences from the past," he explained to Elana, "I used to work on a Dannistrian off-shore research platform many years ago...something bad happened there involving a piece of equipment that went unclaimed from the previous owners...I'm sure this won't be as bad as that but...yeah...I really don't want to say any more in case I jinx myself..."

Elana shrugged. "I never believed in good luck or bad luck. It's mostly about probability. There's no luck in that. That's not to say I haven't had close calls before though. And of course there's someone watching out for me too."

She continued to move the cloth off, checking the sub and wondering if there was any metal mesh on it. "That probably made me sound... mean? I wasn't trying to be mean. I just don't really believe in luck." She looked up at the submarine. "Kind of a shame no one uses it. It was a good sub from what I remember. I'd never use it - I'm a diver and not a pilot." She laughed. "I also like to touch things with my hands and not some kind of robotic arm."

Elana placed her hand on the vehicle. "Perhaps you could use this vessel until your submarine gets fixed? I'm no engineer, but it looks okay to me." She rapped against the outer shell with a closed fist, then waved her hand like she had hurt it.

So'rohs cringed at Elana's reaction, "You OK?"

He walked up to the sub, looked at it and backed away slowly.
"I think I'll leave it be, just in case. I heard that Alleghenians can be a scary group of people to cross paths with. I don't want to anger them by touching any of their property, even when abandoned."

So'rohs then walked up to an intercom on the wall and dialled into the main Dannistrian labs.
"So'rohs here. You got that equipment set up yet, Winters?"
"Almost Captain. Got a few more cables to patch up and plug in, and we should be good to go. Second stage equipment still needs some mesh netting," the intercom crackled. So'rohs nodded.
"Very well. Keep at it. I'll be there shortly. I'm asking Elana for some mesh and we should get some ASAP. So'rohs out."

So'rohs turned back to Elana.
"I'll have to head off to our labs now. If you do find any netting, please send it to the labs we are in ASAP. We would greatly appreciate it and we will be willing to share some of our research data in return from that experiment."

"Certainly," Elana replied with a slight smile. She could understand the Dannistrian's reluctance to using another nation's sub, but she knew it had just been sitting there for months. Still, if she was in their position she'd probably not use it either just because it was not from her own nation. "I'll keep an eye out for the equipment you're looking for. And if you need help with getting the sub on-line, I might be able to help with that too. I spend almost as much time diving in the water as living here in the lab, so if you need someone to help work the exterior or just accompany, I might be able to fit it in." She smiled. While her research was taxing, she was sure she could fit something in her schedule without angering her government too much.

Ms. Kina slowly walked back to her lab, savoring the sea life she could see all around her through the clear walls. As she walked into her office she walked to the desk and sat, thinking. She opened a notebook and began to write:

Dear Erik,

I am most honored to accept this offer. The environment here is spectacular and the people, or various creatures as applicable, are very nice.

I did not ever consider that it might be somewhat odd for someone with little-to-no scientific experience to be sent to this lab to study but then again I am glad I was sent here.

Thank you,

OOC: Where is this Sealab located roughly? I might have to modify my post if this sealab is close/far away.

A submarine parks into the docks. The cabin doors depressurizes slowly, a ramp bridges between the ground of the dock and the submarine itself. Exiting the submarine is the newcomer. Only 40 years old, Professor Nathaniel Cheng has 18 years experience in the scientific field, with 10 years experience in the Polytechnic University of Pyongjing. Cheng stumbles out looking disorientated by the queasy submarine ride which lasted a grueling 75 hours.

He gestures to one of the scientist working there.

Professor Nathaniel Cheng: "Excuse me...where is the reception?"

((OOC: BL, check this thread out. We're in sealab II's location))

No sooner was Elana about ready to finish looking for some wire frame mesh for the Dannistrians and begin her work that the Bai Lungese submarine arrived. She paused as the massive vessel docked with the lab. The various bangs created by the submarine adjusting to the surroundings was joined by the door opening slowly. Her ears twitched from the sudden noises. Out of the sub came what appeared to be a middle-aged male human being who appeared to be a bit uneasy.

"It's down the hallway, then follow then the first hallway on the right," she replied to his inquiry. "Are you okay? You don't seem to look well."

OOC: My 75 hours thing is probably justified!

Prof Cheng was still gazing at his subject with confusion and nusea. You should sympathise with the poor fellow since he hasn't really been to submarine rides and he was basically shoved into one of these vessels going at 35 knots. The vessel shook like crazy, with fears of attacks from potential enemy ships. Speaking perfect English, he replied to Elana while frantically rifling through his briefcase for appropriate papers.

Cheng: "Ummm.....ummmm....I could use an aspirin, thanks! I have a horrible headache from these rides, I tell you! The damn captain is an uncaring SOB. He tells me where to go everytime I moan about my condition. Captain says if I puke, then I should eat the puke for sustenance."

"Captain?" It never occurred to Elana that the ship could be used for simply dropping the poor man off, and not remain parked at the docks. That may not be the case, but the docks were certainly filling up, and it was kind of a good feeling to see activity in the lab again, especially with what happened months ago. Still, she didn't have asprin handy, but she was sure the infirmary had it. Then again, there was something else that could probably help from her bag.

"Here," she said as she pulled out a small bottle of pills. "It's an old Vekaiyun remedy for seasickness - we've had it for thousands of years. It's got ginger root, anise, and jaku bark in it... so if you're allergic to that it might make things worse. But if not, just grab a glass of water, take two of these, and you'll probably feel better in a matter of about a quarter of an hour." She smiled. "We also have a kitchen that's got a good supply of food... so you don't have to worry about starving or something."

"Good to come prepared, eh?" Elana smiled as her ears twitched a bit. "But yeah, everything is down the hallway, and the first hallway on the right from that one. I think that's also where our infirmary is, so if you're still not feeling well that might be a good place for you to go." She peered over his shoulder to the submarine. "So is that vessel there just to drop you off, or is it more of an exploration submarine?"

Cheng: "Sure. Thanks again...."

Nathaniel picked up his briefcase and marched straight to the reception. Too him, it was not a very welcoming reception (BAD PUN) as it was plain looking with no Renaissance era feel. It was cold and aloof.

Cheng: "Professor Nathaniel Cheng of the Bai Lungese Agency for Conservation, Commerce, Health, Agriculture and Public Information (BLAC CHAPI) reporting. I have been over here from Dong Men by orders of the President Im government with a few Bai Lungese scientists currently residing in Sealab. The head of the Bai Lungese division of this very diverse range of workers is Ki Soo-Yeung."


Receptionist: "One sec, please. Yes, I have been notified of your arrival, Mr Cheng. Let me add your details to the Sealab's database."

She types in Mr Cheng's detail with gusto.


Receptionist: "Done. Mr Ki will be expecting you. He will be in Communal Lab number 8. Just head back to the docking bay but turn and keep going. Here is your key to your quarters and I hope that you will enjoy your stay at Sealab."


Cheng: "Thanks, I hope..."

He continues to stumble across the main lobby area. The ginger pill he administered himself is too slow acting for a sympton like his.

"Huh. What a strange individual." Elana shrugged and decided it was probably time for her to start her work up again. She exited the submarine docks and winded through a few hallways to make it to the main congregation room to make it to her room to gather up her gear.

The captain of the submarine overheard the derogatory comments made by the scientist and is instantly incensed by his inflammatory comments. Emerging from the cabin doors was a well built musclar 6'5" in frame. He sported a bushy beard which encompasses around his lower half of his face. You thought that it was a far-Eastern version of Captain Haddock and it was not helped by the corn cob pipe protroduing out of his gob and the first words that were coming from his mouth.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "Billions of bilious blue blistering barnacles! Where is that little cretin who called me an SOB?! WHERE IS HE?! BLISTERING BARNACLES! Where is he?! I have had it with his relentless name calling! I wanna batter that fuzzy wuzzy and his jelly eeled artichoke!"

He fixes his eyes on Elena.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "Hey! You speak Chinese? Where is Cheng? I heard that foreign born brat speaking to you! Where'd he go?"

Elena shrugs at Captain Hè with confusion.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "FINE! DON'T SPEAK TO ME! You all be speaking Chinese if I had it my way..."

Shoving Elena aside rudely, he riflled his pocket for his zipper and tobacco pouch. He rammed an earful of tobacco into the chamber and lit up the deposited tobacco. He was marching faster than a Mack truck at full speed.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "Stupid ungrateful, obnoxious Lily-livered landlubber! Cheng!"

The large triangular ears on Elana's head bent back slightly. "Oh, you want me to show you around?" she repeated. "Well I guess I could, but I really need to get to work soon. I hope that's okay, and I apologize if it isn't. Really, the lab is self-explanatory. There's a map on the wall in this room over there," she added as she pointed to a rather plain map on the far end of the wall. "Basically, there's living quarters and research quarters. There are other places too, but they're more specialized of course. A room for the sick, a room for the oxygen cyclization in the conservatory, and a room for eating, of course. This room is more for an observatory. A relaxation room, if you will. You'll notice windows are all around the room. If no one uses a submarine or any device that causes an extensive amount of vibration or noise, you can usually see different types of fish around. Every once and a while we get whales that come by here, especially humpbacks, as I think we're close to one of their migration patterns down here..."

She had ignored a noticed a rather scruffy-looking man gritting what appeared to be a pipe between his yellowed teeth as he stared at her, but as her eyes met his he approached her and spoke to her in some odd language she was unfamiliar with. Her head cocked, but not too much as she could tell by his gravely voice and body language he seemed pretty upset about... something. She couldn't even make a word out. The next words to come out of his mouth were more abrasive than before, and were finished by a shove, which sent Elana and her small frame tumbling to the ground.

Remembering Mason and his volatile personality, she chose not to lash out. She didn't want to cause any more problems, especially with someone who looked as angry as he did. All she did was grunt as she landed square on her rear, then narrow her gaze at the captain as he stormed passed her as she propped herself up with her hands.

Matfey nodded. He was about to say something else when an apparently angry man began shooting off his mouth. He could tell he was clearly upset about someone or something.

Matfey clenched his fists as he saw the man pushed Elena to the ground. He was about to give the rude man a piece of his mind, but decided not to as he didn't know what exactly was going on. Instead, he helped Elena up. "Are you okay," he asked with great concern in his voice.

OOC: Is smoking allowed in the Sealab? If not, I will modify my post! :P

The scruffy looking Captain continued to march down the hallway with his corn cob pipe gyrating repeatedly between his yellowed set of teeth. He continued to shout out for Cheng in his gravelly voice until he was stopped by another Vulpine looking scientist.

Scientist: "Hey! You're not allowed to smoke!"

He snarled at the scientist who spoke a language he was unfamilar with.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "WHAT ARE YOU BLABBERING ABOUT, SEA URCHIN?!?! I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU ZAPOTEC!!!"

He rudely prods the scientist repeatedly with his grubby, sea-weed covered finger. He pressed the scientist so hard he knocked down the poor fellow. It was his far-east looking colleague who had to intervene before further damage was inflicted.

Ki Soo-Yeung: "That's enough!"

Captain Hè gave a rather bewildered look at the scientist.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "You Bai Lungese? You speak Chinese very well. Pitch perfect in fact..."

Ki Soo-Yeung: "Born and raised in Port Sung, Captain....?"

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě! Parent's named me after a fish. Dunno why, they just did. What was your colleague saying to me?"

Ki Soo-Yeung: "He asked you not to smoke in Sealab and I will issue you the very same warning. Since we are 212 feet below ground level, it is ill-advised to light up in a place where fleeing from a fire is not easy to conduct. You could be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of scientist because of your need to light up in the name of recreation. What would President Im say about this? Left or right, the political parties in Bai Lung will unanimously condemn your reckless actions. You will never see the light of day. Now, I would suggest putting out that smoking pipe and comply with no the no smoking policy set by Sealab's. Otherwise, get the hell out of here."

The Captain looked rather humble and embarassed by the scientist's stern warning. He did however, apologise in a sarcastic manner.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "I'm SOOORRRYYY!!!"

Looking unimpressed, the scientist rolled his eyes and requested for a more sincere apology.

Ki Soo-Yeung: "It would be preferable if you were sincere about it..."

The Captain sighed reluctantly, realising he would be booted out of the Sealab if he failed to show a level of sincerity. He extinguished the smoking pipe, followed by a sincere apology.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "I'm really sorry about what I did to your poor colleague."

Ki Soo-Yeung: "Better. I heard you screaming the name Cheng? Who is this Cheng?"

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "I am looking for Nathaniel Cheng."

Ki Soo-Yeung: "Hmmm...I've never heard of. No wait, that Nathaniel Cheng. He should be here today. Me and him are conducting research on a cure to a heredity blood disorder that is prevalent in Bai Lungese people. Now, if you excuse me..."

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "Who are you exactly? Why do you have the gall to tell off a captain like me?"

The Bai Lungese spoke no further and presented the captain his ID. It read: Ki Soo-Yeung, the head of the Bai Lungese scientist division and the person Nathaniel Cheng was looking for. The captain dropped his jaw is disbelief. Realising that he was screaming at a superior scientist. Shortly after Ki was down several yards, Captain Hè began a tirade of non-expletives to himself.

Captain Hè Xiàn Xuě: "WEEVILS! IDIOTS! DOGS! SEAL LIONS! SAVAGES! WHY DID YOU FAIL TO REALISE THAT HE WAS A SUPERIOR?"

((OOC: you're good. I guess we could say only certain areas have smoking areas))

Vinsent wasn't like the other vulpine scientists in the lab. He pretty much kept to himself, never really made any great strides or great waves with other people. But he liked it that way. He liked blending in, not that he was afraid of people, but just that he just wanted to do his work, get a few papers published, then leave for Vekaiyu. Most of the time he was in the lab, listening to his heavy metal music while struggling to concentrate on the task at hand. But again, he liked it that way.

"Hey! If I can't smoke here, you can't smoke here!"

The man apparently didn't speak Unonian, but his gruff voice and his blunt, thick finger was enough resolve for Vinsent to know he wanted nothing to do with him. The scientist fell with a thud.

Most scientists would've taken the gesture, brushed themselves off, and went back to their work without a single harsh word. He wasn't like that. Growing up in Sinliesa, his blue-collared family in his blue-collard neighborhood never dealt that way with such things. The scientist, despite being much shorter and thinner than the intruder, lifted himself off the ground and marched over to him.

"Hey!" he said as he grabbed the man's arm. "What the heck do you get on with knocking people down like that? Or maybe you don't speak Unonian?" He switched over to English. "Let's go," he said.

-----

"Yeah," Elana replied monotonously. "Yeah I'll be fine, thank you."

It was clear from her tone she wasn't fine, but rather just wanted to get to her work and not speak of the matter. There would be time to think about it later, she figured.

Meanwhile in the Dannistrian lab...

"Check the electrical resistance..." Winters shouted to Mah'rii'ah.
"Holding at 200 Ohms..." Mah'rii'ah shouted back.
"50000 Volts and holding..."
"Temperature is stable at 60 degrees Celsius..."

The two were sitting at computers at opposite sides of the lab. Inbetween them was a piece of massive electrical apparatus consisting of man circuit boards and metal rods that stretched from the floor to the ceiling. As more electrical power was fed into the contraption, more and more electrical crackling could be heard along with an ominous hum.

"Oh! Temperature spike! It's going up to 70 degrees. 71...73...I think we better shut it down!" Mah'rii'ah shouted.
"Agreed. Phased power down now!" Winters started flicking some switches. The machine's hum died down gradually, followed by some smoke.
"Oh great. Looks like I'll need to replace those friend circuits again," Winters complained.
"Well, at least it didn't explode on us this time," Mah'rii'ah remarked.
"Unlike the last time we carried this out? Yeah...but still disappointing to see it not work again."

Captain So'rohs appeared at the lab door.
"Captain! You got our mesh yet?" Winters asked.
"Not yet. I'm trying to scrounge some from the subs supplies. Elana, that vulpine girl, is helping me find some as well. I'll go and speak to her again soon."
"Please do, we need some more ASAP. The apparatus isn't working properly because of it."
So'rohs nodded.
"Did you get any results out of that test?"
"Nothing meaningful, sadly. The equipment doesn't like being used without shielding and I'm going to have to replace more of those circuits."
"I'll see if I can find you some spare circuitry as well."
"Please do..."

"Trust me, I'm fine."

Elana brushed herself off again. "I should really begin my work for the day. My nation won't like it if I don't show any progress for today." She sighed, then smiled a little bit. "I think the outside life is much more predictable than the goings-on in here."

"Well, if you say so. But, I'm glad that you're okay." When she mentioned she had work to do, Matfey nodded. "That's understandable. I'll probably have to do some of my work as well later on. Well, you better get going then and get started. I don't want to keep you from your work."

Matfey thought about Elena. They both thought alike in some areas, being concerned about their work and their work's progress. They were also hard-working and didn't take lazy fools lightly. "She probably isn't looking for a boyfriend, just as I'm not looking for a girlfriend at the moment."
