Tarkus nodded a bit as they walked along, silently understanding the implications of the test, Leo'd told him that it'd be dangerous, but he was almost glad he didn't know. If he did know, he just might not step on the ship to begin with, clenching his right fist slightly, he remembered Leo's bit of advice about not kicking Ursa. He couldn't help but look down to see his leg, and he engraved those words into every part of his brain. Letting out a small sigh as they continued walking, Tarkus turned his head as they walked when he heard something come out of the PA system.

Listening for a moment, a small smile began forming on Tarkus' face as he heard the rather immature comments about sticks'n'butts. That was, until he heard the furious voice of Mr. Tower screaming at one Mr. Kootz, at that point he cringed just a bit, and even more when the strange voice of the...Man? Woman?Freaky Alien Genotype?...Thing that was introduced as the school's treasurer ringing out about crotch grabbing. After hearing the crash, Tarkus stopped for a moment and scratched the back of his head, speaking without turning around he said: [b]"I...Let's uh...Get there before something explodes...[/b]. He resumed walking beside Morella until the dock was in sight, a sizable crowd already gathered for the test. After a few minutes Mr. Tower brought someone along by the ear. Literally. Tarkus decided not to press his luck with questions, instead taking a seat on a nearby bench.

He began almost obsessively examining Zoll, he'd found something yesterday, something that he'd noticed the other day during the food court ordeal, he just needed to find the right trigger...
[b]"Took me a few hours last night...but I think I might have found something. Not the release mechanism...this thing has something else strapped into it..."[/b]
