"Don't look at it that way. It's an opportunity to learn, and as I said, knowledge is power," Aito retorted, smiling despite the obvious annoyance from Viral. "And it's not a race, the lake isn't going anywhere. I'd prefer having both of you along anyways. It's been much too long since we spent an afternoon together." And granted this wasn't quite what he'd call a leisurely afternoon it would still be time spent together. There was more to this venture than a simple water test too, or there was the potential for it. Funnily enough Viral seemed to pick up on that much. Glancing at his son through the rearview mirror Aito let out a chuckle, unable to hide it from them it seems.

"Something which a Saiyan is powerless against, perhaps. Or at least something that's a challenge for us," the doctor responded cryptically, reaching into the center console and pulling out a document. Well, to say it was a document might be a little much, it was more a frayed notebook, held together haphazardly by stables along the spine. "The water samples brought to me before had some kind of contamination in them, something which I thought was sludge at first. It quickly became apparent however that this 'sludge' was somewhat sentient, similar to single cell organisms. When I introduced some food into the sample the cells attacked it voraciously, and began to form together after the fact. It's only a theory since I terminated the experiment, but they seem to be some kind of creature, or pieces of one. And I'm going to venture a guess and say that creature is here, in this lake." 

"But why do you need us then? And what's so bad about this... Whatever it is, that you can't fight it?" Yumi asked in confusion, looking to Aito for answers. Wait a second, something that Saiyans had trouble killing. There were creatures like that it just so happened now that she thought about it, creatures they've not seen in a little while now. But why here? And why on Uuonoe?

"There's those gears turning, that's exactly why you two are coming along. I'm concerned whatever this creature is, its similar to the monsters that have been appearing across the universe as of late," Aito continued, "They're quite obviously vulnerable to the forms of energy Beastmen wield, so naturally you and Yumi are perfect fits, should there be combat. Ideally I'll simply have to go in, introduce chemicals into the filtration systems and the reservoir will clear itself out. Considering what I came across however I doubt it will be so easy. So while I work on cleaning the water, you two may have to fend off whatever beasts come about."

So that was it then? Some of those things might be on Uuonoe and they would have to fight them? It was more exciting than simply coming around to test water yet Yumi couldn't say she was terribly thrilled to hear such a thing. "Well if that's the deal then Viral and I will kill every last one of them," she said confidently with a nod, looking back and giving her friend a smile, "They won't know what hit them when we show up. I might not be a real Beastman,  but I know how to fight those things. You won't have any problems Aito."

Fantastic, that's what he liked to hear. Aito doubted there would be too much trouble yet one could never be too careful, the enemy was still largely an unknown here. Around a bend in the road up ahead was the reservoir, or to be more precise the damn leading to it. The filtration systems were just outside the damn, that's where he'd be working. Yumi and Viral would be guarding him while he worked, a job which had a potential to be quite dull if nothing came of this. Pulling the vehicle up to the side of the road he fetched a container out from beneath his seat, stepping out of the vehicle and waiting for the others to do the same. "Of course... If either of you want to handle the tests, I'll gladly fight in your place," Aito mentioned with a smirk, "Much as it needs to be done, even I find this work dull. I'd far prefer bashing around some monsters."
