Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tri stared down quietly at the granola packet in his hand and squeezed it until the wrapper crinkled and cracked in his hand. He finally dropped it on the bed and ignored it putting his head in his hand for likely the 14th time since Hexxis returned back to her computer like self and went with Mara.

It was painful and being with Anadii was just as painful since it just reminded him of Hexxis and it was not his fault at all. Then Ree..... that one always answered his phone but was vague about where he was and if he was with anyone. Ree had been silent when he mention what happened to Hexxis...even when he accused the other meta of starting it. Ree didn't defend just kept listened.

He was a mess and knew it.. it was so hard trying to regain his composure again once the emotions just poured out. Even more so after he read the story Hexxis gave him... only a few hours and they would have understood. Why?

"Anadii...food" he said tiredly and pulled out two new bars of granola from the box and a bottle of water and went to the computer like meta while folding his wings against himself for comfort. Pausing in front of it he stared searchingly in the same way he looked at Hexxis, looking for some type of emotion to show him they were alive somewhere still inside. Quietly he held out all three things to Anadii.

nephsah

There was a look of sadness wash across his face as he watched Anadii eat it then verbally confirm deletion of the memory. Only the small frown and the head tilt paused him from turning away in defeat.

Glancing down at the wrappers he nodded in confirmation "Yes, you verbally said "File deleted" after your eyes flashed a few times" he muttered quietly as he reached to take the wrappers to throw away.

Dropping them in the trash can on the floor he turned to face Anadii again, his wings only slightly higher and not dragging on the floor as they have been. As if those small emotions he saw on the computer metas face gave him the hint of hope that Hexxis might be able to do the same.. but would her personality return? Anadii had a super organize mental system that he wasn't sure was not actually part computer. If Anadii couldn't find one specific file/order that was blocking him then how hard would it be for Hexxis to break through it... how many previous versions of her were there too?

"I'm distracted.." he said that softly in apology before glancing toward the phone. "We should be having a visitor later today. Was there anything you wanted to ask me before they come...of anything not just them" he was starting to fall into the habit of trying to ask Anadii to see if that helped the computer meta somehow. He was not as talkative as Ree so this helped, or he hoped.

Tri looked faintly surprised to learn that he noticed and just nodded slowly in agreement but did to explain more as he pulled away and moved to sit on the bed Ree was using before.


"Someone who used to work with Mara. She taught me at her behest, I am calling her to ask a few favors now " he said quietly as he played with a button at the edge of his cuff until he accidentally twisted right off. Blinking faintly he held the button in his hand and sigh. "She got by the name of Bob..just Bob. Bob is her nickname. Not something she likes but it stuck on due to her previous teammates and some event" he said quietly rambling slightly, knowing she used her real name for other things and Anadii would likely find information she wouldn't not want to be found if he gave him her real name.

"She will be helping me for a while. " he explained quietly. "oh yes... I wanted to ask if you were able to make any breakthrough with the three names that were mentioned by Hexxis and the breakdown protocol file?" he muttered, resisting a look to the clock as he tried to remember the last time he ask.

"You have? " he turned and rushed to the laptop picking it up and setting it on his lap with a fury of energy that had no outlet. Of the names that were listed the first two did not come as a surpise, the first might be dead or might be in hiding but out of all three of them it had always been the last one that intrested him.

"No, it is easier for me to read it......thank you" as a memory poked him to remember his manners as he stared at the file Haven had hidden at such a high clerence. "Fail safe...." He muttered staring at the second stage that indicated that she would have been forced to suicide. It made sense, you did not make a weapon without some yep of fail safe encase it goes awary. What did surpise him was that they were able to give on to Ashral. If the original owner and the head of security were dead, the first he was suspicious of and the second ....hm. That left the third...at the same time...there was no indication what the triggers were. He only had Hexxis note pointing at emotions..but were there more?

Looking up at Anadii he opened his mouth to ask before stopping. He was going to keep using him as a computer and that was excatly as Haven programmed it. Except now it was showing faint signs of facial expression it didn't do before and he should start trying to address it as such.

Putting the laptop to the side he quickly texted Mara a quick overview before putting it away and looking at Anadii. "....Thank you for what you did, that was extremely helpful. " he looked around and stared at the granola bars with a faint sigh, wanting to move on with what he had but forcing himself to focus and actually acknowledge this. "I am going to need you to look for more information. My goal is to try and help Hexxis but I know that might not be what you want. Is there something you would like? Or if you wish to leave ....." Not really wanting to offer the last but doing so because it was the right thing to so.

Tri looked at it closely and finally nodded. "If your current desire changes I would like to know before you do something drastic. Even if it seems like you will never do that currently I would like acknowledgement that you will warn me if something were to change in the future " he said quietly as he looked down at the laptop to hide the feeling of relief at those words.

"If you are still willing, I would like you to gather any information you can on Douglas Thompson's condition, family, living place, videos, and presentations. Also see who the new Head of security, science and medical are" there was a pause as he stared down at the keyboard in his hands and turned to look at a new of his notes. The notes he took when overhearing at the Renegade place. " Douglas is the only one left of the originals. He can give someone else complete access to Hexxis the easy way unless Dallas is not dead. Is there any mention of cause of death? " he muttered as he skimmed the notebook stopping as he reached a list of names. "For simple information try the public records, I don't want you devling into Haven's network unless you can't find the information other wise . " there was a pause as he looked over the list again.

"That said I think you need to do a search in haven's directory for these. Vic, Gio, Kveta, Anasteria, and Jason. They are recent transfers to Haven and were on the list along with Hexxis. I want to see if they were all supposed to start the same experiment or were sent to different ones. As for Security ...he died in a Lazarus project? Did their subject escape?" A possible ally there? ...either ways that should be enough to keep Anadii busy then he and Bob can do the rest.

Tri looked at Anadii and look thoughtful. " Douglas's information, the current heads for Haven and cause of death for Dallas. On a priority order. The others as you can get to them" he said quietly, the other two were more information based while the last one had nothing to do with Hexxis at the moment.

Looking away from Anadii he stared at the laptop and frowned. "Drastic is.... " he trailed off trying to think of a way to explain. "When you do something very extreme... like leaving forever with only minimal information and no way to contact you as an example " he said quietly grabbing one of the more recent example. Ree didn't think he didn't feel much about it but he did he just didn't focus so much on it instead just on finding her...and now helping her.

*knock*

He moved to his feet and was already most of the way to Anadii as he stared at the door, wings flared as he glared and waited. Lowering his wings when there was a second knock with a small beat.

Tri looked down at Anadii as he let out a small sound and he frowned. "Pass it to my computer. She's here" he said looking at him carefully watching the lights change. Finally he moved away and went to open the door as there was the same knock again.

Outside a black haired Shadow with darkblue highlights in her hair looked back at him, her arms holding a couple of bags as she looked at him hard with inversed blue eyes. "Move" she said simply pushing past him as the dog followed her inside.

"Where is the third person?" she asked looking at Anadii and quickly dismissing him as she glanced around the rest of the room and finally turning to look at them as she set the bags on the table.


"Elsewhere. This is Anadii." he waved to Anadii. "Anadii... Bob "

".... An unfortunate nickname " she smirked faintly and waited for the teen to say something...daring him to make fun of it. Not the first time, the only reasons she kept it was in remembrance of an old friend. "I bought the things and the second area is ready. Were you able to find something to do we have to start from square 1?" the smirkw as off and she was serious if slightly put off as the dog moved along with her but was slowly wagging her tail as she looked at the other two.

"Change in things. Just slightly " he muttered.

"What changes?" she looked at him with a frown, her eyes suddenly alert as she finally looked at him closely. Taking in that stupid covering thing some races used for their wings..two of his wings were down other wise why would he need them? Well there went flying recon.

She pointed at his wings and raised a brow before turning away and started to unpack as few clothes, looking toward the meta on the bed. Anadii, interesting...

"Anadii. Change into this " she toss over some clothes that looked like it could actually fit him while taking something out for Tri as well and a hat. " And this for you. "


Tri frown and caught it one by one and places it on the bed by him as he moved to the computer. "The first two are dead and third one has resigned. Anadii is working on getting other information. " he said looking toward the clothes blankly before looking toward Anadii. "We're moving elsewhere, and we need to hide your markings as much as we can" there was a flicker of uneasiness as he looked toward Bob then back to Anadi and sighed, moving to the bathroom to change and coming out a bit later


Bob looked over at Anadii as she went through another bag and the dog stayed by her sit, wagging her tail and looking hopeful toward Anadii. ".... you're an escape meta from Teldhet right? " not needing the confirmation but it was a way to break the ice at least since he never bit toward the name.
