Janos to the BatROM in his hand and fought a civil war within himself. The Capellan part of him wanted to break the ROM and make sure whatever secrets it might contain disappeared. The engineer part of him was curious to see what Ailis had seen. He didn't answer her with anything but a smile to her request for some explanations. He was a sharp knife, even though most seemed to think otherwise, and he was not about to tell just any redheaded skirt any of the secrets he had locked away in his head. Perhaps another time, should she survive long enough to gain his trust. As she walked off to catch herself a pair of pants he threw a glance back at Ranna sitting atop her 'Mech and then down to the trio of Erich, Walter and that Sera. After that he hurried along towards the simulation pod. If he was lucky he could confirm Ailis find before she got back, perhaps scramble it if it was of a dangerous nature. Hopefully though he would find nothing.<br/><br/>"I'll see to it that our Sigma Acolytes are at your disposal." Sera shined a smile that was to the brim of pride and superiority, something besides her eyes and nose that she had in common with her father. Her smugness was a little more endearing though, the kind that was a warm mix of sarcastic humility and enough truth to warrant a serious consideration. "I am of course very busy with my work, but if one or two of you find my personal expertise invaluable I could manage a private tour." The last words had a distinct purring undertone as she raised her gaze to Ranna and then let it fall back to Erich with a smile. "For now though I must withdraw, I suspect some Acolyte has already busted up my laboratory while I was away taking samples. I'll see you around I'm sure." She gave Walter a quick hug before she took off towards the smaller side entrance leading towards the HPG. Walter gazed after her, sucking thoughtfully on his pipe that had already died out a few moments ago. "They grow up fast when you are not looking."<br/><br/>Janos stepped into the simulation pod and fed it the ROM, sitting down in the seat that was uncannily similar to a 'Mech's. The whole pod was pretty much decked out in the way of a cockpit with instrument panels and dials showing just about everything from the input of the ROM in a fashion that was not unlike what a MechWarrior experienced in their cockpit. These were especially advanced, seeing as ComStar never saved their expenses on anything. Even so the space was tight and cramped and could barely fit in three people. The ROM fed to the pod activated and Janos watched as several monitors lit up, showing everything cockpit view, to rear, gun-cam and neuro-feed. There was a distinct quality deterioration, probably from the very strong ECM they had been under out there, but still good enough for him to make out most details. He watched with suspense, this was it. The feed was just about to come over the top of the ice ridge...
