"I [i]am[/i] out, I'm on the roof," Erika said with a slight smile as she stood up and took the bundle of cell samples in her arm. Very carefully she walked them over to one of the counters, and unstacked them so they were flat on the only cleared surface in the room. "I'd rather not leave the roof, especially to buy sweets. And I suppose it will be unlikely that I can help you with your orb mystery, but if I find any kind of clue in the Giant Claw's cellular structure, I will let you know."

After that, Erika was pretty much at a loss for casual conversation. As her whole world was now this greenhouse, she didn't really have much to discuss. "When you leave, tell a lab technician to check up on me every hour. I will need someone's assistance to use the machines downstairs, after all. While I wait for the Giant Claw's genome to be sequenced and aligned, I'll start comparing the structure of these cells with my own, and starting some immortalized lines."

From a high perch Akiba was able to see the dissection from a distance, with his Rodan suit sitting next to his leg. If asked, Akiba would probably say something about how knowing the Kaiju's anatomy would help him fight kaiju in the future. However, he really wasn't too great at memorizing that kind of information. Most of the academy lessons on kaiju biology went over his head.

If he really wanted to train, there was a simulation for the Mecha-Rodan suit he could use, as actually using the suit just for practice would be risky and wasteful. However, he didn't particularly feel like doing that either.
