In the wilds of Atanasoff, Thad would find himself being pinned down...  "Oh, so you're one of the newcomers father alerted me about..." The lioness purred...   "And this weapon of yours... Most fascinating..." |

"Oh, I apologize..." She purred, getting off him. "Cute males can sometimes... Distract me. I am Sekhmet, the lion goddess, and queen of the hunt." |

 ...cute!?"Err..." he said, standing up and brushing himself off, "I am Thaddeus Wyatt the fifth. This is Abraham Wessex"  "Hi there, Miss Sekhmet..." said Abraham, still a bit wary. |

"It's a pleasure," Sekhmet said. "Now... Let's get down to business. What is up with this fascinating prototype?" |

Thad went through and explained everything for what seemed to be the five billionth time today. "So, that. The leaders of DATS did not want me to further construct it, but since I do not take orders from them...I was hoping that I could get some outside help so as not to put their other members in any danger with their superiors." "You aren't kidding. That dude Sampson is fucking CRACKED. How the hell an organization like that runs with such lunatics running it is beyond me..." |

"A weapon is but a tool," Sekhmet said, examining the prototype. "Regardless of the methods of how it was originally created, it can be used for the good of all. This is not a weapon that I would consider 'immoral'. Nuclear weapons or chemical warfare are far more dubious... But this is simply a more advanced version of a gun. The immoral acts that were performed in its creation can be avenged. To disbar its use because of how it came to be is irrational, when it can be used to right those wrongs." |

"That is what plenty of us said. Nuclear warfare was only used twice in human history offensively..." He sighed, "I could tell you that it was not tragic, but you also have to understand the estimates of Japanese and American dead if the war would have taken the invasion of Japan in order to finish. Warfare is awful, but when you can trade the terror of suddenly one hundred thousand people being dead or badly injured as opposed to a half million US soldiers dead and close to five to ten million Japanese dead? It is...a grim rationalization, but true." for more information, read about The Planned Invasion of Japan, Operation Downfall. Grim, yes, but NOT dropping the atomic bombs would've likely been WORSE. |

"Oh, I'm aware of that mess," she sighed. "Well, I think we've both made our point. Why don't we get started on working on this thing?" |

"Err...where, miss? We seem to be in the middle of nowhere with no visible resources to do so...I do not even have my soldering gun on me." "Where are we, anyhow...?" |

"That can be fixed. Come." She turned around, and started walking. "This the Atanasoff savanna. As wild as wild can get." |

"...err, I shall follow you, then," said Thad, figuring that if he was going to be following someone around unknown territory, it might as well be a guardian... SekhmetmonName: Sekhmetmon Level: Mega Type: God Man Attribute: Vaccine Field: Virus Busters  "Aunt Sekhmet is the most hot-headed of her siblings. She is a fighter like Sobekmon and Horusmon, but she is more of a physical fighter than the latter and less concentrated on defense than the former. She does not suffer fools lightly and has an attitude about her, but she is still a trusted Guardian. Though, Thad, do watch...she is on the prowl for a mate and it does not seem the species barrier concerns her much..." "We'll...follow you, then." |

They soon came to a rather large house... It wasn't as 'modern' as one would expect, but it was rather well-built, and went well with the surroundings. "This is my home." |

"Thank you for bringing us here, then," said Thad, still carrying his things. "For all the research I do, I'm not looking up that at this time of night. I'm an architecture student; it'd take me half a month..." XD"Nice place." |

"And, you can stay the night, here," she smiled, sitting down on a couch. "Please, relax. I imagine you've had a long day." |
