The room was only half as organized as the outer labs, but he knew where everything was, what state each project was in and what needed work. His two in-progress dragontaurs were in a magical holding cylinder, one female, the second, nearly ready for release was obviously, almost obscenely male. He looked up with disinterest as everyone entered, nodding to Draiss and pointing to a book in his personal library, which Draiss handed to him, checking to see how well he was developing. The female got a faster, more cursory examination, but she was about half the size of the male, and clearly still growing, and sleeping. He let Keelah know about the incoming succubus and what she wanted, before turning back to his second familiar, frowning as he hadn't heard from his sponsored wizardess yet. Another message, asking if she wanted to help, and he waited for a reply even as he answered Nadriina's question. "I know several things about it already, thanks to the infield experiments I did with Niara to get her here, and that Union blocked the messages from getting to her."<br/><br/>He then explained how he had found what was causing the contamination, and that the other godlings that he had been forced to destroy, Borval, Jarod, the male kitsune and the aboleth, had all had similar sparks, and that a lich had been investigating the stuff when he and Cerulean had destroyed it. The locket was removed from storage, but he did not release the seals on it yet, neither the ones on the locket or the ones he had placed on it to keep it from being opened. He then nodded to Niara as she walked in. "Niara, this is Nadriina, my drow loremistress and wizard, as well as my divine familiar. Most of the research that gets done here that is actually sane is mostly due to her influence, and the crazier experiments are probably mine."
