[center][h1][color=39b54a]Isis Nasri[/color][/h1][/center] [i][color=39b54a]"Who does he think he is?! Damn... embarrassing me like that in front of everyone..."[/color][/i] Isis thought to herself as the helicopter landed. [i][color=39b54a]"So cocky and arrogant! He made me look like a complete fool!! How should I possibly know that he would let out such a comment? How was I supposed to react to it?"[/color][/i] she thought, looking at Nathan with a sharp, annoyed expression. [color=39b54a]"Hmpf!"[/color] Isis looked away from Nathan, avoiding looking to him. To a man show that he was interested on her wasn't something bad, in fact it was something to be proud of, but the way she was caught off guard, blushing heavily and looking like a foolish little child made her slightly irritated. She wasn't very used to being with other people, so things like love, flirting and etc. were a mystery to her. Animal behavior and human behavior regarding choosing a mate were completely different, and as much as she tried, she couldn't explain, understand or possibly be prepared to "love" or romantic advances. Just after they landed, they were immediately taken from the helicopter with their gear, apparently to a briefing on the situation. [color=39b54a]"But what about Bas-"[/color] Isis tried to say, but was the ones helping to unload the helicopter didn't even pay attention on her. "Name's Johnson. I'm the chief around here and set to brief you on the situation." a man came to them, shaking Jake's hands. The Treehouse was a beautiful place. As Johnson took them somewhere, Isis couldn't help but be completely distracted by how beautiful everything was. Living there, in the top of the trees, near the wild would be probably insane to most people behind the wall, but for Isis, it was almost a dream. Although she had already travelled outside the walls many times, she had never came to the Treehouse. "Started... days ago.... Pillar of Light..." Only small parts of the briefing actually reached Isis' ears. Completely forgetting about Nathan and his comment, why she was mad or even their actual reason to be there, she was simply awestruck by how beautiful the place was. "Wanna see what you're to look into? You're just in time for the show." Johnson said, pressing a button and lowering the blast walls. The view Isis was graced with was nothing short of spectacular. Breathtaking. If she wasn't paying attention earlier, now it would be even harder. Thankfully, a very strange and unnatural view made her actually ask herself what was happening. A bright pillar of light in the horizon. It certainly was weird and unnatural. Such thing... what was it? Quickly looking around, she was able to assess the situation with the short fragments of the briefing that she remembered. Nobody there knew what it was. They only knew that it happened regularly. Just like Johnson and the others, she hadn't even a single clue of what that was. But she surely was curious. She wanted to see it with her own eyes, get closer to try to understand what it was. From where it was coming and where it was going. [color=gold]"There is no way that is a natural event. Aliens! Has to be aliens. First monsters, now aliens."[/color] Reed said, interrupting her thoughts. [i][color=39b54a]"I don't know about aliens... but certainly its not natural... It is quite beautiful though..."[/color][/i] she thought to herself, looking to the weird phenomenon. "We don't know. Any scan we try to make is blocked by some sort of interference and we can't see that far from here to tell ourselves. Like I already said... We don't know shit. So how's about you do your damn job and find out! And how about you start taking this seriously you disrespectful little shit! Or is the future of humanity some big joke to you?" Johnson said, quite irritated. [color=39b54a]"We will probably have to get near it to see it with our own eyes. I must say, I'm rather curious about it."[/color] she said, with her eyes shining, reflecting the light from the pillar. She wasn't even trying to hide her excitement. New, strange things made her very curious. That curiosity was sometimes good, sometimes bad, but undoubtedly it was part of the traits that made her such a fine scout. As they were taken by a very grumpy and irritated Johnson to their new craft, which was presented to them after a long and angry sermon of how old, unique and valuable it was, Jake finally turned to them. [color=lightgreen]"Ok team, load up. I wanna get in the air before nightfall and we got a long journey ahead of us."[/color] he said, looking to the rest of the crew. [color=39b54a]"Umm... I don't want to interrupt Jake... But they kinda forgot to take Bastet out of her cage... I'm rather preoccupied about what will she do... She tends to get rather agitated when she is away fro-"[/color] Isis was saying, before being interrupted by a loud, metallic noise, and some alarmed shouts. [color=39b54a]"WAIT!! SHE IS WITH ME! CALM DOWN!"[/color] she yelled, as a big black shadow approached them, running through the base, making quite a fuss by jumping over vehicles, soldiers and equipment. The big duvari jumped on Isis as it got near her, rubbing itself against her, showing affection. [color=39b54a]"Bastet!! Calm down! So impatient..."[/color] she said, hugging the duvari, laughing as it played with her. [color=39b54a]"That was what I was saying Jake... She hates being far from me..."[/color] Isis said, still playing with Bastet. [color=39b54a]"Anyways.. I don't think she will enter in another cage for some time... Just let her inside of the ship with me. She has already travelled in another ships, and she knows how to behave, Don't you, Bastet? Naughty girl!"[/color] [color=39b54a]"Well, me and Bastet are ready. What about you all guys?"[/color] she asked, avoiding Nathan, still annoyed with what happened earlier.
