This made Kiros chuckle again. “Tired already? We have just walked around and looked at subject chambers so far! And given how fast Lono is gonna be, it sounds to me like this job could be waaaay more tiresome.” Sylvio nodded along, whilst Lara let out a sigh. “It has been a long couple of days for me, alright? Travelling over to this place, all the security checks, checking everything out and the whole introductory course. I knew it was gonna be intense, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna complain about it!” Sylvio didn’t seem to pay too much attention, whilst Kiros just shrugged and shifted the chat in a different direction. “Say, do we also share dorms in the staff areas? I imagine they might do that, just for convenience sake. But, I am curious what the facility does with this.” With that, you’d mention the sleeping chambers you were assigned to. You were shown the place you’d sleep at earlier today, so you’d share the room number and other details. And it didn’t look like you’d spend your sleeping space with these guys.
After a bit of chatting about the job, your expectations, your concerns and your interests, you’d notice a small group of guardsmen approaching from the distance. And with them, they had what looked to be a rather strangely cladded human. She had bushy and wild white-ish hair, two red antennae coming from the crown of her head, and these cloth-like appendages which almost looked like a strange cape. As they got closer and closer, you realised that it was Lono and the other guardsmen. You also noticed a rather relaxed and carefree guy walking a bit beside her. He wore a labcoat, had short black hair and mildly pale skin. The group got closer and closer, you noticing two important things. One, Lono was taller than all of you. She wasn’t humongous, but she was easily 6 and a half foot in height. More importantly though, you’d saw her glancing over at you before moving behind the guy in the labcoat. “I assume that’s Lono.” Sylvio said mildly excitedly.
“Huh, she looks a lot nicer than what I imagined.” Lara would mumble, which made Kiros glare at her. You and the others would get ready to greet Lono, the guardsman and the other scientist. And once they were close-by, the scientist spoke up with a mildly smug and overconfident inflection in his voice. “Ah, finally, some new faces. Take it Anderson brought you here, huh?” He’d already reach out for a handshake. “I’m Francis Avinoff. Hope we didn’t keep you waiting too long. I was just running some tests on Lono. Isn’t that right, Lono?” Lono gave a quiet and calm nod, not looking right at you as you couldn’t get an exact read on how she felt about you guys. Either she was afraid, shy or disinterested. Regardless, Francis would introduce some of the guardsmen, before speaking somewhat casually. “So, suppose Lono should get into her chamber, and then you guys can maybe… discuss whatever is on your mind with us.”
