Realizing their awkwardness in being [i]on[/i] Reuben as they were called out by par, Ahnciel thought fast. "Iz...classified" he offered in a shaky tone while trying to come off as formal, unsure how tight-lipped the fleet wanted to be about their failures since he hadn't been given cue cards or checklist. This thought teased at a curiosity of what was on the chip that was currently safely housed in his arm. It was important enough to be given to him, though kept from him for so long. "Eh-ehn humans should know not to play vith fire like...[i]zeht[/i]" he began with a nod in GG's direction, though his tone grew soft and almost intrigued as he watched it take orders from Rudolf.

Lifting its clawed paw, Ahnciel watched with bated breath as he expected the beast to simply gut the man. The aylv's ears tilted to a side in curiously cautious perplexion as the amalgamation of flesh and steel obeyed the human, even going to the length of lifting and actually shaking the man. While this confirmed his suspicion of the creature's terrifying strength and mostly served to unnerve Ahnciel further, he couldn't help but feel a strange sense of empathy for GG. It was almost like looking in a mirror, both in the sense of his brand's origin as well as their own foolish attempts at making what humanity apparently did so well. It made Ahnciel feel disgusting on top of the fright from the creature's anonymously blank expression, obscured by steel. He couldn't get past the feeling of hidden eyes and unknown expressions contained within metal and held by a living creature, especially one of such overt physical prowess. Intentions and even the concept of 'soul' hidden behind its own design so well...any human Ahnciel could even unflatteringly imagine would be proud to hold its leash.

'Thankful' was an understatement as Reuben made the executive decision to leave the room with Ahnciel still clinging to them. The door shut behind them and even being in another room, the scientist still visibly trembled while watching the door. It tapered off to calmness after being set down, renewed by the task at hand, though still keeping an eye on where they came from. Seeing the beast in such a state bent his fear into something far darker than simple instincts which annoyingly plagued him. The idea that humans would do such a thing to life, and that he was now in 'cahoots' with them was unsettling. He touched on the thought and then let it fade as not to make himself a hypocrite in his own mind; after all, Ahnciel was more aware than any of where uncontrolled gene-molding could lead a society.

Almost on cue with his thoughts, Ahnciel looked upon Reuben's mind-meats and simply sighed. "Szo...ehm...do humans use brains to enhance zeir machines?" he asked, flicking a few small tools from his arm which slid open to offer an array of options extended outward on tiny gripping appendages. With a deep breath, he gently began to tinker, tapping a syncing-diode to one of the wires to 'feel out' the error and quickly beginning to right it with a few twitches of the mechanical arm's fingers.
