(Gah, 10 days. I started a new job on Monday and have been really busy since.)<br/><br/>Marc would gently ease himself into the pool before diving under, thoroughly washing his body off from all the goo and saliva that coated him while inside Jaku's tail maw. He'd look around, smiling at how things have turned around. He'd dip his head under the water and finish washing up before feeling the water pull at his feet, looking up to see the naga's satisfaction. A puzzled look appeared on his face as he opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated. Instead, he closed it and smiled once again. However, Kellus's mention of the Chimera Project caught his ear as he turned around.<br/><br/>"Don't be too hasty, Kellus. They don't know what we just recently learned and probably still think we're working for them. We could use this to our advantage and blind-side them so bad that they just might have to pull out." He replied, sounding rather wise. "That and I did some digging around on the computers back there, I found out that Colonel Ara is related to you, Akrain. From the way I've seen him behave and act, you must have done something to really piss him off." He added, turning to the lizard. "Basically, we were sent here for the nagas. That's what the Project assigned us. Ara added you as some sort of secondary objective. Before I closed radio chatter with him, I made sure he was absolutely furious. He seems like the one that would make mistakes if he let emotions get the better of him."<br/><br/>Marc would eventually turn back to Kellus. "Though, I probably should apologize for my behavior back there. Ara deserved every last bit of it and he of all people should know that this sort of operation would last more than just one day. Also, it was my intention to find Jaku during this trip. I worked at the Chimera Project and met him...er...her back there and, being a security guard, he almost devoured me until he heard my plight....and let me live. I promised to make it up to him when we meet again, and the rest is pretty much history."
