Chomping At The Bit [Invite]

After various atypically exciting meetings with various individuals of additionally varying sanity, Yatapi once again returned to his usual work. He had done a lot of Destron based research as of late, and he would soon be going into Hatchi City to procure some important information for a very important plan. He had just over two weeks to collect what he needed, and he was ahead of schedule.

So, Yatapi had returned to researching and tending to Saibamen and by extension the soil present on Plant. He had obtained some valuable information as of late, and he was well ahead of schedule on another plan that would transform the decrepit and shattered landscape that were the Saiba Wastes into something far more pleasant and not just an utter shame to look at.

Setting up a little pop-up lab somewhere on a hill in the Acidic Lagoon, Yatapi at first observed the general area. By all accounts, everything was normal. No known groupings of Saiba were extending too far out of their primary territory, it was as if the collective ecosystem was ‘breathing properly’ so to speak.

Well, that was until there was a metaphorical hiccup. Some bi-cranial Saiba-Strigians had been displaced after some over-eager Saiba-raptors and Saiba-wolves. Yatapi momentarily altered his pop-up lab into a makeshift safety area for the owl-like Saibas as he went to investigate— there was something else out there, someone perhaps, and that often didn’t go well. Yatapi confronted the grouping of raptors and wolves— and as no surprise to him at all, it was a particular duo of troublemakers being the ringleaders of this commotion. Flare; a red and black rocky Saiba-raptor, and Gleam; a strongly bioluminescent Saiba-wolf. “Why is it, that whenever something happens, it’s always you two?” Yatapi frowned, as the two Saiba butted heads before taking notice of Yatapi, only to then feign innocence, or look like they were blaming each other like small children would. “Seriously?”

Flare and Gleam continued to feign ignorance with exaggerated dumb expressions that were allowed by their beast-like features, Yatapi simply gave the pair of them a blank, unmoving stare and eventually the pair of Saiba-Beasts relented... Sort of. As Yatapi surveyed the area further, Flare and Gleam blew raspberries at each other only for Yatapi to whip his head around toward them and glare at them. “Stop iiit.” Yatapi raised a disapproving finger. “Your continued buffoonery has displaced another garden of your kin. Do you understand that?” Flare and Gleam actually looked surprised at this and blinked, completely and honestly confused.

This gave Yatapi cause for some concern, because that would only mean—

Another person was here. Now, initially, he would not be so welcoming, but having heard a very specifically familiar voice approach him, he was in fact at ease. Yatapi looked upward to see none other than Curie. “Curie?” Similarly, Yatapi’s tone would then be struck with unfiltered excitement. “Hah! A truly excellent reunion!” It really gave Yatapi a sense of accomplishment to see any individual he had freed from that horrible detestable laboratory alive and well. “You look far different from when last I saw you, did you actually integrate parts from the other two? Fascinating...” Yatapi inquired as Curie circled around him.

Curie had an assessment of her own, that Yatapi had mechanized himself and abandoned a biological state altogether. Yatapi chuckled, it wasn’t quite right, but he did appreciate the genuine acknowledgement of his genius work having given the appearance of such a thing. “Clarification;” Yatapi began, holding a hand upward. “I have reached a conclusion that you may find all the more fitting of me to come to.” He said, little lights and a swirl of metallic dust was then conjured around his hand before settling into the lit up blueprint of a simple blaster before condensing into a black blaster with yellow accents. “A state of biological and mechanical equilibrium, to reach a balance and understanding.” Yatapi smiled proudly, hoping that Curie would easily predict what he was about to say. “Understanding, as you know— is the ultimate reward of science!”
