Quallyss trotted in, still hiccuping from all the excitement, and took a seat with the others. As the others entered the war room, Quallyss made clear he was excited, and greeted them cheerfully. "Oh, hi! Is this not excit*hic*ing, quite?", and "My, you'll certainly cau*hic*se some damage, won't you?" were such phrases that he greeted the various agents with. Once they all arrived and situated themselves, Kovalev began to speak, and Quallyss listened intently to his every word. What Kovalev shared with the group got Quallyss truly ecstatic. Oh yes, quite the enigma! A truly challenge that will cement our stories in stone! And Quallyss will truly enjoy this endeavor to the fullest! He got up, and began to pace on all fours, the energy inside of him barely able to be contained. "So, mysterious, yes? From what I could draw, it app*hic*ears that these 'emerald clouds' are of a magical nature, though the exact make up I can*hic*not hope to tell, with my limited knowledge of magic..." He got up on his feet again, and addressed Kovalev directly. "Sir, I do believe though that the Isles may hold extremely valuable data... Where exactly are we going in Hivera, hmm? And will we *hic* require demolitions? I believe I have a blue print for a prototype device that could be perfect for a job like that, yes yes. Otherwise, with the help of one of our mage companions..." He pointed childishly at Chang and Connor, "I may be able to con*hic*struct a device that could give insight into the cloud's make up, though I can't guarantee it will be *hic* ready by the by the time we reach the Isles..." He finished pacing, and stood before the captain. "Which do you, sir, think would be of more benefit? Once I know, I will begin work immediately, quite, he he." Tail swishing, Quallyss crossed his arms behind his back, awaiting Kovalev's reply.
