Zane regarded this intrusion with little more than disdain. He turned his head from the screen he had been typing on when he heard the scientists express their dismay[color=purple]"Cowards, all of you, get back to work.[/color] He told them. "B-but, sir!" One of the braver of them said. At this Zane pinned the quivering man with his purple eye-ed and black sclera gaze. [color=8B008B]"Are you questioning me?"[/color] He said in a threatening tone. "N-n-no s-sir." He stuttered. [color=purple]"Tch weakling, you should have at least bucked up and said yes, instead of lying to save your ass. Keep the preparations going!"[/color] The last part he snapped at the rest of the workers. Zane turned back to the screen, he gave no sign that he had heard Eos's pleas. As he typed, checked and prepared, his fingers went to automatic, and his mind began to wander. He thought to when they had brought the subject in for him. When he saw it, he was speechless in wonder. Such an amazing piece of tech, such beautiful craftsmanship. [i]So this is the first of the Androids. It would almost be a shame to dismantle. And soon I will be able to study Her. [/i] He paused. [i]Well that's interesting.[/i] He finished the second phase and moved to the third and final phase. The ruckus outside was getting louder. [i]Whoever is coming must be close.[/i] He thought carelessly. [i]Ah well.[/i] He continued to work at an unhurried pace. He stopped for a moment, and walked over to Eos. He looked down at her with dispassionate eyes. [color=purple]"Are you afraid?"[/color] He asked her.
