C.h.r.o.n.s.

[Harpo]

An enormous scientific research and development complex, located way out in the desert for safety and security, containing many large and small buildings. There is an electrified fence around the border, and at the gate is a large sign reading "Welcome to C.H.R.O.N.S. The Chronicles Heath Robinson Organisation of New Stuff. Please show your pass to the Guardian"

Where the approach road reaches the buildings there is a cattle grid, and a sign pointing the way to the Launch Pad, the Bunkers, the Labs, the Other Labs, something that's been painted over in black, the Hangars, the Space Elevator, the Biodomes, the Karzi, the T.W.I.T. (Tower Which Isn't There), the Great Pyramid of Milcom, the Hadron Collider, the Hadrosaur Collider, and the Chicken Shed, as well as several other places.

[Harpo]

Due to the lack of visitors, I am deactivating all the security systems until further notice

*does exactly what he said he would*

*from just outside*
helloooooooo in there - could you put a ramp over the cattle grid please -- I might not be cattle, but it still works! (and I am not tip pawing over!)

[HoopyFrood]

*Strides up the road wearing a white labcoat with orange trimming and a pair of safety goggles perched on her head* Hoopy here, looking to conduct some interesting, and hopefully unsafe, experiments

[Harpo]

*puts a ramp over the cattle grid*

Hello and welcome, this is as much your place as it is mine

[HoopyFrood]

Come on, OR! Let's go and have some fun! *Picks up the dog and tucks him under one arm and runs up to the buildings on three limbs* Lets go and conduct experiments! Time travel! Meet aliens! Ah, the excitement

[Overread]

well well the labdragon is keen for experiments then -- glad she is so willing to be a part of them

[HoopyFrood]

*Reaches the first building and sets the dog down* Me? Volunteer for experiments...?




OK!

I'm working on inventing an icecream that is all the flavors at once, so each time you take a bite you taste whichever flavor you want. Some of the test subjects have been....well, turned into cows. but thats a side effect that I'm willing to accept for really good icecream.

Would you like to try a bowl of my new icecream?

[Overread]

well we have chickens - and we have dragons -- lets try and find that missing link between feathered dragon and none-feathered dragon!
*collects a chicken from the chicken shed*
eveny Dusty - and I think I will pass - it not good to turn into your own food when you are eating food (though its different foods)

[HoopyFrood]

Um, I may have to decline the icecream, I'm afraid, Dusty...

And interesting experiment, OR...I'm intrigued...

[Harpo]

Hello DG, long time no see! Cows, eh? That must be what the cattle grid's for

I'll leave off the ice cream for now, the weather's a bit on the chilly side at the moment

[Overread]

well I thought of cheating and grafting wings from each onto the other - but then I had s strock of genious - the major difference is one of scale - chickens are small and dragons are big -- so all we have to do to start with is to make

a GIGA chicken!
(if nothing else it will prove usefull for dinner events)

[Karn Maeshalanadae]

*wanders through the labs, finding the genetic experiments department*

Ooh, pre-frozen embryos! *He gleefully slides up to one* Hmm......falcon DNA? Nah, they're a bit small......eagle? No, vision takes up too much of their mind.....ah, here we are! *He pulls a needle, carefully injecting a male embryo with hawk DNA* Now, we'll have to study the effects of such research.......

[HoopyFrood]

Right...So making a huge chicken will make it easier to see the link between them and dragons?

I may have to take up opposition against this experiment. Chickens shouldn't be large!

And I don't think I want to know if chickens and grand, eloquent dragons are closely related...
