She shrugs, "It stands to reason, doesn't it? This is my parents' home, after all. Unless it's locked the them specifically. Perhaps we should find out what in the way of security systems we should expect before I try, though."

Felix thinks. "Does this thing have any information on them? On you? The change sometimes messes things up."

Permalink

She fiddles with the controls, eventually managing to navigate to a database of sorts. She finds a search bar and tries typing in her name. 

A number of results pop up, the first among them a file titled 'Riun Nellien'. She taps on it. 

A hologram of what she recognises after a moment as her body in lizard form appears over the table. The holographic screen now displays information about this Riun Nellien, as well. 

"Is that the name the seed gave me?" She wonders. 

Permalink

Felix nods. "You have an entire backstory. Sometimes not a very consistent backstory, but you have it."

Permalink

She nods, "Alright. Riun. Not bad." She goes back to reading. 

Daughter of Lady Oran Nellien and her consort Kurst Nellien. Graduate of the Allurian Academy of Medicine, specialising in emergency medicine and infectious diseases. 

"Well," she says, "This seems to tell us a lot about me, but not so much about my permissions in this facility. Lets see if I can..." 

She taps away at the controls for a moment, pulling up another opaque screen and then eventually finding the facility controls. She pokes at the word 'permissions' and it opens yet another screen.

Riun Nellien: Limited Command Control. Access to Facility 1. Access to Facility 2. Emergency Access. Hovercraft Access. Limited Security Control. Safe Access Denial. 

"...Ok. Now what does that mean exactly?"

Permalink

"I think you don't have access to all features. I am not sure what Safe Access Denial is. Maybe ask what they have for security?"

Permalink

"Good idea." 

She taps through a few menus to pull up the Security menu. The panel she's resting her hand on lights up at one point, stalling to scan before letting her through. 

"...According to this 'Safe Access Denial' means that if I don't have access to something it will just not let me through. Rather than attacking me, as in Aggressive Access Denial, or stunning me, in Containment Access Denial." 

Permalink

"Okay, could you gives us the same sort of Access Denial? Or at least keep it to Containment?"

Permalink

She hums, tapping away. 

After a moment, she answers him, "I think my access should let me designate someone as Containment? And I can give you access to some of the things I can access - this facility, the emergency tunnel, the hovercraft... but not Facility 2, whatever that is." 

She pulls up the correct opion for this and moves aside a bit, "You have to put your hand on the panel here, on the controls, so it can scan you. Then I'll alter your permissions."

And he is scanned, and permitted. 

"Alright. I should probably get Robin changed, and then we'll leave him to poke around more and warn the others, and we can check out that escape tunnel?" 

She calls Robin over to be scanned. 

Permalink

"Huh... do you mind if we scan Fenris' wolf form? We have always been curious if it's the same DNA."

Permalink

"Sure. It's probably wiser to scan everyone in before we leave, anyway," she admits. 

They go back upstairs to retrieve the rest of the party. 

Permalink

Jamie and Caine have finished cooking, but are idling in the kitchen waiting for someone to come get them. Cain looks calmer than when he left. 

"Need us for something?" Jamie asks.

Erin explains the situation and they follow her back downstairs, looking around with curiosity and interest. 

Permalink

Fenris gets scanned in his wolf form and then turns back to human. "Does the system have any way to tell me and Felix apart?"

Permalink

She nods, "It stores your signatures as two different people," she says, "So I suppose so. It isn't only scanning DNA, it also scans the actual bodily composition... and a mental scan, it looks like. Just a profile, it doesn't seem to be getting any thoughts." 

Permalink

"How about my different forms?"

Permalink

"Same mental signature, so it registers as you... and I can set multiple forms with the same mind under one profile. It reads the forms themselves as different, though." 

She sets the profiles accordingly, asking Felix if he wants his wolf form recorded too. 

She gives Scout 15 access to the facility and the emergency exit, and the others she has scanned all the same permissions as Felix. 

Permalink

Felix will get his wolf form scanned, thank you. Scout 15 looks at the scan wearily, but it takes his signature just as well.

Permalink

"And you two?" She asks the other members of the DnD party, stepping aside to offer the hand scanner on the console to them. 

Permalink

Robin leans against the command console near Fenris, "So what did you learn from Scout 15?" He asks quietly, so as to avoid attracting Caine's attention. 

Permalink

"He didn't see Caine's dad but knows where he is likely to be kept. He is working on giving us a map."

Permalink

"Uh, this won't create clones or be used in alien experiments?"

Permalink

"...I want to say no. I certainly wouldn't use it for that. But."

 

Permalink

Jamie coughs, "Uh, yeah, that's a big 'but'. This is your parents' secret lair. And I wouldn't put cloning past them."
