Lis'sa meets the squires inside the laboratory, behind its "Biohazard" labelled doors. She doesn't really offer much of a greeting, or even introduce herself - just waits inside the strange multi-storied library section until everyone is gathered, and then instructs them to follow her up the steps.  A great deal of models are suspended from the ceiling that look like space age designs for jet planes, cars, boats, and any number of other things. There are other objects that are much more inexplicable: a giant silver ball, suspended by several rods, for example.

There's another set of doors at the end of the balcony, and she swipes an access card through a reader besides them. They depress with a space age his. revealing a clean white laboratory, with rows and rows of tables and lab equipment set up. Numerous knights buzz around in white lab coats, working under microscopes and on computers, conferring over a number of projects.

"This way," she instructs simply, not sparing the lab a second glance, heading for a door on the left hand side of the room.  She presses a hand against the panel there, and the red light changes to green, unlocking the door for everyone's access.

Beyond is a very long room, with rows of labelled cases and cabinets with transparent glass revealing what's inside.  Lis'sa steps crisply to the other side of the large stainless steel table.

Comments

[LOOK, SHE DIDN'T NAME IT THAT.] You might have noticed the thematic nomenclature around here.

[king]

Yes, funnily enough, it caught my notice.

[lissatrinall]

Wynn's never really gotten the hang of what the word 'overkill' means.

[king]

It's flattering.

[ He lifts the gun carefully out of its case, turns it over in his hands. Hope it isn't loaded, because he even attempts to peer down the barrel. ]

[lissatrinall]

[Yeahhh she's just going to reach over to... tenderly pluck that right out of his hand. And turn it around.] Maybe you should take us up on that training offer before getting too friendly with Excalibur over there.

[king]

[ Good idea, because that would be just about the lamest ever character death. ]

Was I not...?

[ He's kind of confused as to what he's done wrong. ]

[lissatrinall]

That's the end that could send a projectile through your skull at 1350 feet per second.

[king]

... Right. Yes. Training first.

[lissatrinall]

I thought you might agree.

[king]

Where are we, anyway?

[ She hasn't exactly been Miss Guided Tour. ]

What was that room back there?

[lissatrinall]

That room was a research laboratory. There are other sections of it that are off limits except to authorized members of the Dragon's Hoard - our science and technology division.

This is our equipment repository. The first room we entered through is the Dragon's Hoard library: it contains a lot of our more technical volumes, things that most of the library visitors wouldn't be interested in.

[king]

I see.

[ But does he really? Does he really? ]

It certainly looked interesting.

[ Not to study, of course. But to look at in bemusement, yeah, Arthur could spend whole days there. ]

[lissatrinall]

Do you have an interest in the scientific?

[king]

Er... no.

[lissatrinall]

... Ah. [So much judgement and dismissal action packed into one little syllable]

[king]

[ Learning things isn't really Arthur's bag, baby. ]

Looked interesting enough.

[lissatrinall]

I'm sure it did. All those vials and machines. [/driest mockery]

[king]

Yes, exactly.

[ Sarcasm going right over his head. ]

[lissatrinall]

Sir Gar might give you a tour, if you ask nicely. [The implication being that Lis'sa sure as hell won't]
