Snippet #2369852

After Ithrion had left the office, Micah Devereux had remained sitting in his large, plush chair..fuming. How could Ithrion refuse him yet again. The man couldn't see why the Jajasal wouldn't do as he wished. All that he wanted was the ability to protect the planet and everything that he cared about. Micah was trying to calm himself before he went to find his daughter. He needed to speak with her and attempt to get her to help him in persuading Ithrion. After a few more moments, Micah slowly stood from his chair and made his way out of the large office. "I'll be back in a bit." he said as he passed his assistant. He didn't wait for a response and quickly made his way out. He walked throughout the large building, keeping his eyes peeled for Lorelei or Ithrion. He decided to head towards the inventor's laboratory. Perhaps that would be the best place to start since it was located in the center of the huge building. As Micah was walking, he suddenly came up behind his daughter..and Ithrion. The two seemed to be talking. Good. Perhaps it wouldn't be too hard for the girl to worm her way closer to the Jajasal. The man remained standing where he was for a few long moments. After giving the two a few more moments together, he approached. "Ah! Lorelei. Mr. Celairphen." he said, announcing his presence. He walked up to stand next to his daughter, smiling brightly. "Mr. Celairphen, I wanted to apologize for my reaction a few moments ago. I cannot force you to do anything that you do not wish to do." he said, eyeing the other male.

As Ithrion stood watching the girl before him, he wondered about her. Was she just like her father? Or perhaps she wasn't. He doubted that he would ever know. “Ah, yes I’m quite alright, thank you. But I wasn’t looking where I was heading either, so no need to worry.” Lorelei said, smiling. Ithrion returned the smile, but then tilted his head slightly to the side as the girl stepped out of his way. Ithrion had been about to say something to Lorelei when he heard Micah speaking. He quickly moved a step back, making sure that there was plenty of room between the two. The Jajasal turned his pale golden eyes to focus upon his boss. He listened as the man apologized and yet..Ithrion could tell that it wasn't sincere. The smile that he'd had on his face only moments before had disappeared. He only nodded at his boss. Before anything else was said, a tall Azek came running down the hall towards the small group. The man was tripping over himself as he came to a stop near the three beings. "I..I'm..sorry to interrupt Ithrion." the man paused for a short moment, eyeing Micah before continuing. "The readings that we just got back for the EVPS Bridge. You'll want to take a look at the readings, sir." Ithrion nodded, signaling for the assistant to take his leave. He watched as the Azek took off back down the hallway. "I guess this is where I leave you. Good day." he said as he turned, following the assistant down the hall. As Ithrion was walking away, the robotic ferret that had still been sitting upon his shoulders eyed the girl that was standing with Micah, his blue eyes glowing. The robot tilted his head, wondering who this girl was.

As they turned the corner, Syfin turned back around. Ithrion made his way quickly down the hall and to his lab. He entered and quickly made his way to one of the many desks that resided in the large room. Syfin quickly jumped off of his creator's shoulders and sat down upon the desk. Ithrion quickly picked up the discarded eyepiece that he'd been using earlier that morning. He quickly flicked the small item on, watching as he began seeing his computer. His slim fingers moved quickly as he began typing, looking for anything that would tell him the reason for his assistant to have disturbed him.

After Ithrion had parted ways with Micah and his daughter, the man turned to his daughter. "Lorelei, why don't you come back to the office. There is something that I wish to discuss with you." he said, leaving no room for debate. He led the way back up to the large office. As he entered, he waited until his daughter was in the room before closing and locking the door. "Sit." he said, walking to his large desk. He took a seat in his large chair, eyeing his daughter. "Lorelei..There's a reason that I brought you to work with me today. The Jajasal that you met, Ithrion Celairphen, well he's the inventor that has made all of this possible. I know that you've heard me talk about him before. He's insanely brilliant. He's recently began working on a new software that is supposed to allow robots the ability to think..to learn. I..we..need him to apply that new software to the robots that protect us. The police force and the like. He refuses, saying that he would only be creating weapons. That isn't true. We would then live in a world that has no crime. Can you imagine how better a world that would be? I'm afraid that I've been unable to get the boy to see clearly. That's where you come in. You will convince him to finish the software and apply it to the new police forces. To the new military. I don't care how you convince him. Just get it done. Sleep with him if you have to. We need that upgrade. Do you understand?" he said, staring at his daughter. "Now, I want you to head down to his laboratory. If something is wrong with the bridge, he'll be working in there. Go spend some time with him. Make him like you. Have my assistant take you down." he said, signaling that their conversation was over. Micah waited until Lorelei was almost out of the room before adding, "I don't want you back up here until six o'clock...when we'll be heading home."
