Science of Shadows - Log #4

(11:21:14 AM) Charun: Shortly there after a call comes in to the Marrok  "Ahh the rest of your supplies are here lets go move them in shall we"
(11:21:52 AM) Charun: The truck that shows up has  everything from medial equipment to large plasma refridgerators.
(11:22:16 AM) Charun: Also a large fridge for storing shall we say food supplies for your patients
(11:22:46 AM) Charun: It takes several hours to get things in place and set up to your satisfaction.  It is now quite late
(11:24:20 AM) SeianVerian: I sit down on the nearest chair-like device with a sigh. "Dear god... It felt like we'd never be done."
(11:25:32 AM) Charun: "well this should get you well on your way to being ready for almost everything.   I hope you never need more than this! (you have enough now to do major surgery!)  But here is a little something to help you out" He hands you a Black credit card with a silver trim
(11:26:39 AM) SeianVerian: I take it, blinking a few times. "Whoa... How much is on this?"
(11:27:29 AM) Charun: "This is a card drawing on an account set up for you in switzerland.   It currently has just over 100,000 in it.  We will add 5000 per month as a retainer and an additional 40000 each time you need to keep one of our wolves for an extended stay.  Minor injuries that come and go will be covered under the retainer is that sufficient?"
(11:28:02 AM) SeianVerian: "That's... Much more than sufficient. Thank you very much."
(11:29:23 AM) Charun: "Like I told you before we take care of those who help us.  I think you will be very helpful and reward such.  Oh your new front door has a core of solid steel and tomorow one of my men will be coming over to install a new security system with cameras so you will know who is at the door before you open it."
(11:32:12 AM) SeianVerian: "I... Well, I'll just have to do everything I can to live up to your trust then. Thank you for all the help. ...I know you benefit from it as well, but- Oh, I'll just shut up now. Sorry." I shake my head.
(11:44:19 AM) Charun: "No problem I will let myself out now..  Julian should be here in a day or so.  He texted and said he is packing up tonight and will start out tomorrow.  He is insisting on driving from Wyoming I dont know why but you know kids.  Too attached to that truck of his."
(11:44:41 AM) Charun: with that he shakes your hand and leaves locking the door behind him.
(11:47:31 AM) SeianVerian: ...Oh, he has a key. Did I know this? Not a bad thing, of course.
(11:47:59 AM) Charun: no locks it from the inside and then closes it.
(11:49:28 AM) SeianVerian: Right... Been a few hours, probably not a bad idea to let the dogs out. Comfort them if they're still upset from earlier. Also, probably check on the reptiles too, make sure everything's fine with them.
(11:50:14 AM) Charun: Carl goes over to check on your patient and goes back grabs about 6 lbs of steak from the fridge warms it up in the microwave for a few minutes and then walks over and slides the tray thru the slot at the bottom of the cell door.   You hear the sounds of them being wolfed down (all puns intended)
(11:50:47 AM) Charun: carl"Well he is eating good he may shift back sometime tonight or maybe tomorrow"
(11:51:50 AM) SeianVerian: "Hah, glad to hear it."
(11:52:31 AM) Charun: "ill finish cleaning up down here and Im headed to bed the security guys are supposed to be here at 8am."
(11:53:34 AM) SeianVerian: "Right, thanks. I'm gonna check on my pets and then make sure-" Suddenly I realize something. "...Did we ever get to eat?"
(11:55:27 AM) Charun: "No but we can heat some of the food up quickly it sould still be good if a bit cold by now." "Sorry when the Marrok gets focused on something he forgets everything else.  I remember a case a few years ago when one of our recent changes dissapeared he ran all of us for over 2 days before he remembered to stop long enought for all of us to get some rest and eat!"
(11:56:47 AM) SeianVerian: "Hah. That's pretty impressive even for a werewolf. Sounds like he has quite some reserve of energy."
(12:04:10 PM) Charun: as he is heating up the food and putting plates on the table "yes quite a bit more than the rest of us.  I have seen him in wolf form leap to the top of a second story building.  Most of us can manage a singe story building but two is beyond everyone but his son Samuel"
(12:05:36 PM) SeianVerian: "That's quite far... Though it does make me wonder just how high the were-cats can leap in comparison. Even normal cats can jump absurd distances... And yes, my thoughts do have a tendency to wander from place to place."
(12:18:36 PM) Charun: "i have heard of one were leopard that could leap 30ft but that is the furthest I have heard of"
(12:27:24 PM) SeianVerian: "Ah."
(12:27:59 PM) Charun: finishing up his food and washing the dishes" well i am off to bed goodnight"
(12:28:25 PM) SeianVerian: "Ah, goodnight."
(12:28:49 PM) SeianVerian: I finish up my food very shortly after, and go to take care of my pets before I head to sleep.
(1:13:26 PM) Charun: The next morning comes far too quickly.   You are up and out the door before you know it and passing the security folks as they are arriving.   Just before you arrive at work your cell phone rings.
(1:16:50 PM) SeianVerian: Look at the caller ID before answering. "Hello?"
(1:17:09 PM) Charun: it is william
(1:19:03 PM) Charun: "I got your data I am sending you an e-mail thru a friend to your work that will look to be a familial dna comparison study.  Please take a look at the data and we would like your personal evaluation.   do not send any responses thru your work e-mail just call me back sometime when you are not at work."
(1:19:40 PM) SeianVerian: "Will do."
(1:21:28 PM) Charun: after you arrive at work you are immediately bogged down in getting your data that ran overnight entered into the databases and getting the days workload started.  Finally after noon you are able to check your e-mail and find a series of over 200 DNA sets for your comparison.  The computer will even need several hours to chew on this amount of data to find any comparisons or outlier data nodes.
(1:22:45 PM) SeianVerian: "Ye gods... This must be the entire family tree that they could track down." Well, time to set that up to run too.
(1:25:56 PM) Charun: The day finishes all too quickly with you barely even able to finish all the lab samples you were sent to process.  You end up spending over an hour after your normal time staying just to enter all the data into the hospital system for the various doctors.   Just as you have finished setting up your own experiments for the night the computer announces it is done with the data examination.
(1:27:50 PM) SeianVerian: I just want to collapse... Oh well. Better look that over.
(1:29:26 PM) Charun: you immediately notice two things.  The gene that appears to be responsible is on the x chromosome and only females that get it on both x have any ability.  However there is a entire series of genes on the Y that appear to do the same work for the men.
(1:30:42 PM) SeianVerian: Sex linked but on both chromosomes? That's... Highly unusual, isn't it?
(1:30:55 PM) SeianVerian: Not as if that's the only thing unusual
(1:33:56 PM) SeianVerian: Fascinating... I'll report these findings to William once I get home. I don't want to bother trying to screw around to make sure ESPR doesn't get it from their surveillance in here.
(1:34:18 PM) Charun: true
(1:37:46 PM) Charun: Once you get home you are suprised to see you have new 6ft cast iron fencing along the front and sides of your home.  Very ornamental and nice looking as well as new brick corner posts.  All the brickwork has been done to match both your house and the neighborhood and the fencing is the same as many of your neighbors have.  You have a new gate as well that is being installed right now.  Carl is out front talking to the worke
(1:41:18 PM) SeianVerian: I'll approach Carl. "Hey." I greet him when a chance presents itself.
(1:41:43 PM) Charun: "Good timing they need you to imput the new security codes."
(1:42:24 PM) Charun: "You need a 9 digit master code and a 5 digit personal code"
(1:43:01 PM) SeianVerian: "...I think I'll need something to write with. I'm awful at memorizing numbers. Hold on."
(1:43:25 PM) Charun: they wait patiently by the front door at the security panel
(1:44:08 PM) SeianVerian: I'll grab a pencil and paper, and something to set it on so I'm not writing on the air or directly against a fencepost. Then I'll come back. "Right, sorry about that."
(1:45:27 PM) Charun: workman" Just enter your nine digit code and wait for the light to blink and then enter it again.  If it blinks 5 times it has accepted the code." he steps back to stand with carl so he cannot see the number you are entering
(1:46:40 PM) SeianVerian: Right... I'll write down the number before I enter it, and recite it to myself as I do so, under my breath. 958271435
(1:48:05 PM) Charun: " ok now Ill put it in learn mode you need to put in the master code #sign then the green led will blink 2 times then enter the new 5 digit code you will use on a daily basis and follow the same process as before entering it twice."
(1:49:28 PM) SeianVerian: "Right." I'll enter in the master code once more and follow his instructions. For the personal... 57238
(1:49:46 PM) Charun: After you have done this he shows you the rest of the features of the system including the cameras.  The View screens to monitor the cameras in each room and the master control panel in your bedroom.  He tells you there is also a duplicate master in the downstairs surgery room.
(1:51:44 PM) Charun: That way if you have to retreat to that room as a safe room you can override the system so only that panel controls anything in the house.  There are also cameras in every room in home only accessible thru the master panels with your code
(1:59:03 PM) SeianVerian: Very nice.
