With all of the commotion they forget even to perform the routine checks. Your ruse may have worked, but they were too busy beating on cells and trying to drown the worm to notice this time.
Hexin arrives earlier than normal, as does Neryn. At one point, though fearful, a guard called into a bronze tube mounted upon the wall near the doors.
Been makin' a bit of trouble have we? shouts Hexin, unaware that Neryn is just steps behind her. Well...
Enough!, interrupts Neryn,We have a lot of work to do today! Guards, I will need the fancy machine out right away!
The guards grab the weakened Lady and set her on the examining table, leaving her unshackled this time.
You called for me last night, why? she inquires of the young woman.
"I am low on electricity, my internal Battery is low and if i do not get the power i will shut down and you will be unable to render and useful information or knowledge from me as i will be a useless husk, I do know my bodys blueprint as it is stored in my memory bank, and can recreate it given time and the proper tools and materials to do so. I know not what computers and machines you have so it might take awhile. I do though require no real sleep or sustenance, i do how every require rest and recharging to be effective.This is why i called for you, If i could get a few things i can create a simple device to generate electricity when chemicals are added to it, I can than attach a couple of my arms power cords and transfer the electrical current from the device to me and keep me powered, It will take a while for me to recharge but it can be done." she than cocks her head and than blinks.
"Sorry i must apologize I am LJ447-LADY1, or LADY for short, i feel bad for not properly introducing my self" she says holding out her hand the palm face up.
What do you require and how long would it take you to build such a device?Neryn anxiously replies.
Neryn adds,Electricity, computers, blueprints...What sort of magic is this?

Apa! Tumaroka memeka haim? Mujhe bahara nikalo! Mujhase bago, airamaim jangalom ansuapa milo ja-ega. Main apaka palana baharamem!
Neryn tells the guards to quiet the "jungle Orc" in the same manner they used on Fribble and then warns them not to kill any creatures until they have completed their research.
"To build a machine to power me, 1 cycle. I will need copper, steel alkali, carbon, a a few other minerals, or I can get some gears from a clock and see if I can make a generator for my self, So much potential and possibilities" lady smiles as she sits there in nothing and looks at the other woman.
" Magic is an archaic substitute for technology. Eventuough the Tholoidz still practiced it we there servants can not our Progenitor never programmed us to work the odd energies the Tholoids could, however we excelled in building machines and devices to aid in everyday things from cooking food,transportation, dying clothes and hair, recording music and events, even the ability to communicate over devices. However I doubt your people are not ready for such devices I can help you get there" she says addressing the other woman.
such strange creatures here, no electricity, odd dress, wierd male female dichotomy? The also must be primitive as well. I bet they have stagnate multi territory governmental structure. Those fascinating does not help me, I need access to parts to make something be it a hand crank generator or a battery I will need something soon or be depleted.
Who is your creator? Neryn asks Lady after her other questions are answered.
Dashuun, though hungry, will attempt the same strategy tonight when the guards come to bring his dinner.
Aaahh! Laryn, so nice of you to join us. I have made a list of all of the materials required by the construct to create a machine for us. Except alkali. Where in the devil would we find that? Neryn ponders.
Sorry mistress. Right away mistress. I shall find all that is required. Laryn states humbly. I was held up by the arrival of an emissary of the Arclords. He seems very concerned about our progress and wants to speak with you immediately.
Dashuun, though hungry, will attempt the same strategy tonight when the guards come to bring his dinner.
Ashleaf was concerned about the song. It stopped for some reason. He stopped his part immediately when the other voice went away. He went over to his door and waited.
As soon as he's done getting hosed down Fribble will start to sing again, stopping to daze the guard if he appears.
She looks at the two and then at the guards.
"If Alkali cannot be found i can do the wind up version? For that I will need gears and copper" she says as she just stands there waiting
" The Originator created all of the Life decoys like my self his gentle hands made the body and the programming to breath us life. He made us able to be individuals, and rise above our programming. I am no different physically than any other female life decoy, but I am programmed differently and my life experience and likes are different." She says standing their non threatening as she looked at the gaurds doing there duties as well as the patterns and movements.
These creatures store puzzling, it seems they are drones for this Neryn, who is a drone for some other thing called an Archlord? Interesting? I need my parts and may be can learn more. I have no problem building things for them, but self preservation is paramount here
One of the ooze's eyestockes extends down and peers out of the small window and watches the going ons. While he cannot understand much of anything said the actions against those who are, non-cooperative are rather harsh.
And then there is the robot-like person, and it seems to be helping their captures even if she was put in a cell. "That one will have to be watched. Let's hope it wants to get out of here as badly as others."
It is not long before the song begins again and Oslo wobbles along with the tune...

When malatok awakes from his rest after the fatigue, be begins to search for an alternate rout out of the room. perception,
survival,
And if that ends up not working, he will play dead in the corner until further notice. Also, what kind of cutlery am I getting with dinner? Prepping for the long haul..
You don't notice anything out of place in the cell. It is pretty solid. The only way out is the front cell door.
Neryn exits the room rather quickly through the western doors. Lady is given all that she had requested and also a set of masterwork artisan tools by Laryn before she is escorted back to her cell. Hexin stops her for a brief moment and produces an item to her and asks, Can you show me how this works? Maybe even perhaps fix it? she inquires kindly of Lady.
Oslo, you recognize this as your blaster pistol that was taken from you upon capture, only you can tell that it has been tampered with during an act of investigation and does not work.
Lady, the object presented to you appears to be some sort of stylized laser pistol. You are not immediately sure how it works, but you could probably figure it out if given some time.
Ma'am, I almost forgot. You had a caller as well.Laryn meekly advises Hexin.
Bo'Tha? Hexin exclaims in an excited whisper.
Yes, replies Laryn.
Tell him to return tonight after Neryn retires if it is a demonstration that he is looking for.
Yes Ma'am. Laryn replies and is off through the eastern doors.
Perception
Bo'Thaenters the room sometime after Neryn fails to return to the lab.
He holds audience with Hexin. Laryn has finished cleaning up the lab and assisting the guards in shoving in the gruel in a metal cup via rod into each cell except for Fribble's and Lady's.
He walks with Hexin past each cell asking a guard to open the viewing window. The blue one seems to be unruly huh? Bo'Tha inquires of Hexin. And how about the ooze? I have never seen one before. I have only heard stories. What special properties does it have?
Before she could answer, He stops short of Dashuun's cell and asks, How is Bartok? Do you think that he could handle two at once? He deviously asks.
Hexin replies, Definitely, although I am taking a great risk. If any one of them gets injured, I will have a difficult time explaining it to Neryn.The Arclords aren't paying us for sport.
No, but they are interested in the properties of each being aren't they? Consider it another test. Besides, how does 500 gold sound?tempts Bo'Tha.
Alright, but you must help me should anything go wrong. she replies.
The singing seems to be going unnoticed by the humans and the guards are wearing ear plugs.
Seeing the objects before her she begins to try and piece a few things together in preparation.
hearing the woman Hexin she looks at the pistol and opens it up and than looks back at her stuff"I can take a look at it though it is of a technology i haven't come in contact with i will gladly look at it thoroughly when I get the chance"
Hexin commands a guard to prepare the ooze and the blue-skinned jungle orc for a match with Bartok for Bo'Tha's amusement. Guard! Take the ooze and the blue orc to the floor for exercise with Bartok...and be careful about it..She is interrupted.
Hape,Misdrs, dha lissrd hazzt sskaapd!!!
Are you sure? Gather the others and lets check his cell!,she exclaims in an irritated state. If he has, when he is caught, mention it to no one, but call upon the tanner to inquire about a new pair of boots.
The guards as well as Bo'Tha and Hexin move to examine Dashuun's cell, much more irritated than distressed that their plans have been put on hold.
Hexin grabs the large lighting device that resembles a hand-held cannon.
How long would a 2 liter sized hand cranked generator take? Would i be done with it in a few hours or over night? Cause its faster than making a real battery
Fribble continues to wait for an opportunity to escape to present itself. He's quite patient. A human lifetime only feels like a year to his people.
Ashleaf is completely still in his cell, concentrating on his internal alchemy, waiting for the opportunity to strike. He had long since resumed singing with the worm, but an idea made him stir. He began to thoroughly search his cell for a loose stone or anything he can hold in his vines.
You'll have to make a craft check for each device/item that you create to determine if it works.
Seeing his blaster pistol Oslo watches the robot woman carefully. He wished that there was more than a small window between him and her, perhaps he could have motioned to her. If he had that weapon, things would be very interesting...
He watches yet more action unfold, there was a motion at towards his cell and the one across that the way... "That cannot be good."
Then the entire group is moving off towards the cell to his right and an eyestock peers out of the small window. Six individuals are looking into the cell for some reason that he cannot yet make out. "Damnable world languages that just do not translate." Oslo knew a galactic common tongue within the Dragon Empire... apparently he was no where near there now.
