Roscoe nodded and looked at the dragons as they fought over a piece of carrot. "When Acyn was teething, she liked to chew on anything leathery, including her tail. I got her a couple cheap leather jackets to chew on as well as the occasional chunk or partially frozen meat. Elio was different. He preferred to rub his claws against his gums to try and help them poke out. He had to have his claws cut every week because of it." He said.
Alex gestured to the wyvern on her arm, "Seem like Luz likes to teeth on me. Can't say I'm fond of this habit, but at least Oscura seems to teeth like a normal dragon. Can't wait for that much to be over with."
"What can we say is the normal for dragons." He said, looking at Elio as he curled into a ball in the corner if the room and slept. "Did you hear about the new project?" He asked suddenly.
"No I haven't," Alex responded looking up at Roscoe. They tried to put Luz down to get the treats since the wyvern clearly wanted some along with Oscura, "What about it?"
"Ez Corp wants a stronger, better dragon. Something that can very easily help them win a war. Dr. Sean has been talking to many of the Techs and intern, trying to get the best on the case." He explained, sotting down as Acyn came to him, chirring softly and laying in his lap.

Dezi had been at the lab since pretty early that morning, desperately trying to get in his hours so he could pick up a shift elsewhere that evening- one that actually paid. He was only awake after drinking several cups of coffee, and even then, only because he was jittery and felt sick to his stomach. He was doing odd jobs around the lab, supervising cleanup and such, but he made sure to at least listen to what Dr. Sean was saying in the background.
(Oh I should mention that his name is pronounced Sey-ahn)
Alex let out a long sigh as she sat down so Luz and Oscura could cuddle around them. She looked at Roscoe, "He'll probably come to me sooner than later. I'm one of the best at the base in genetics and that's what they want. God nooooo I don't want to create a war machine."
Roscoe nodded and looked down at the grey and purple dragon currently nibbling his finger. "And me because of my skill in DNA splicing and creating strong artificial molecule bonds. But I dont want to create a monster like that. This creature that may kill us before it even hatches." He said
"Then we have to delay it," Alex said with some confidence, "Fake reasons as to why it's not working. Make mistakes anyone could make ya know?"
"Put small bugs in the code that may seem insignificant but can cause a problem." He said
Alex nodded grinning a little, "Yeah. That's what we'll do. We just have to make sure everyone on the team is on board with this."
As Dezi was walking around, he happened on this conversation between Alex and Roscoe and was intrigued. He pretended to be occupied with other things, but he was still eavesdropping. What he heard could be potentially dangerous, and he was debating whether to let someone know that there was unrest among employees.
"These creatures, though artificially developed, deserve a chance to live like normal creatures on this earth. Why would any one want to use it against them?" He muttered
"I don't know," Ale sighed quietly as they pet Oscura's back, "I don't know."
Dezi eventually stopped trying to appear occupied and was simply listening in. They were totally right, but this stupid company had promised him more of a future than he could have ever hoped for, and he would hate to see it crumble.
Ros heard someone yelling his name from somewhere in the lab and stood up, holding Acyn in his arms like a baby. "Let put you in your nest." He smiled, taking her to a small hammock type felt bed and putting her down. "Duty calls." He smiled and did a two finger salute, leaving the nursery. Once he came out, he realized that Dezi was standing near there and paled a little. He stiffly walked away from him and went to his desk.
Dezi’s posture stiffened, and he just waved at Roscoe as he passed by, trying to act not horribly suspicious.
He went back to the other side of the lab and quietly worked.
Alex was on dragon duty today. So they stayed in the pen just watching the dragons bounce around while taking observations.
Roscoe saw smoke coming from one of his experiments and ran over, panicking. "Lara! Why did you touch it!" He groaned, looking one of the assistants as she set down a now empty test tube. "I-I thought it was supposed to go in there." She whined. Roscoe cursed and picked up the beaker, taking it to the failed experiments locker when he saw a small organism form from the result of the mixture. He brought it back to his table and looked at the girl. "Lara, what does the test tube say?" He asked slowly. "TB2LB5 with a couple warning signs." Roscoe sighed and set the beaker down before taking the texture and putting it in his personal collection before rushing to find Alex.
Alex was still with the dragons. It was always strange because her sheets called the dragons by humber but they knew all of the dragons by name. Thankfully she had moved on from the nursery to some of the more mature dragons to run some tests with them.

Aelia ran into the nursery, late, She was researching some stuff for her internship and ended up falling asleep while working. However, as soon aa she say Sidus, she smiled brightly. Sidus excitedly ran into her arms, playfully batting at her clothes. Aelia laughed, "Sidus! I need to work! I'll play with you during break, I promise!"
