New Home and Family (Aice, anyone on Suki's ship)

[Serori Yakedo-Satsumaimo]

Serori's unconscious body lay there as Aice took care of it. He went over to his computer to monitor her DNA.

While pondering over the monitor, Serori's eyes slowly opened. Due to mental preparedness, she did not freak out when she awoke, and was only met with a dull, slightly numbed pain from bruises, which would heal over due time. She was still completely naked, but this didn't phase her. She stared at the ceiling for a bit, waiting for her head to stop spinning, and then gently sat up, closing her eyes to refrain from dizziness. When she opened them again, she saw someone had thoughtfully placed fitting casual clothes on a stand next to her. She gently got to her feet, grimacing slightly, holding onto the bed for support. Regaining her balance, she put on her clothes. It would be most unbecoming to see her new master while awake and wearing nothing. She assumed he had already seen her, but being asleep was something different.

Serori took the time now to look around her and assess her bearings. She appeared to be in a medical bay. Where the doctor was, Serori soon found out as she saw the alien at the computer, clicking and tapping. She wondered how to greet him, and if thanks were in order. Most certainly they were, as her body's burns and gouges had been healed, presumably by this alien. She gave a slight cough, and when this did nothing, she decided to speak.

"Um, excuse me?"

In the meantime, Serori was wondering if this was indeed her master's ship, and where the others might be. She'd heard tale from Caius, or maybe it was Jorlaxl, that Lord Suki had a gravity chamber, and a fight simulator on board. Maybe she could make use of this to get stronger. She did not want to let Suki down, and she was marginally weaker than the duo she had met. However, she felt surprisingly stronger. Maybe even strong enough to work out the paralysis of her tail. She remembered going Oozaru, remembered the jungle beat in her head, how she hadn't been able to control it, but how strong she had felt. If she could learn to harness this, maybe she would be welcomed. After all, could this not be her new home, and these people be her new family?

Aice pondered over the screen in front of him, as the Saiyan's DNA sample was being broken down into its basic elemental make up. Each strand was made up for different proteins, each with their own set of commands and structures. Aice enjoyed these kinds of things; they boggled his mind knowing that such small things could make up a whole living structure. Carefully he scanned through each protein, looking for its exact cause for what each one did. It would take many hours to read each strand of DNA but the results in which Aice hope to achieve were well worth it.

From across the room Aice heard the slight noise of the young Saiyan waking up, the steel operating tables were not made for silence. Taking a quick glance up from his screen he saw her sitting up from the grey table. She did not seem to be in shock from waking up in a unknow location, which was a good thing Aice really didn't want to have to restrain her. Reaching for the clothes that Aice had sat out for her, his attention returned back to the screen, going over the still vast amounts of proteins.

After taking a few minutes to fully get dress, the young Saiyan began to look around at her new settings. Taking only a few seconds to spot Aice sitting behind his monitor screen, the glow of the screen dimly shinned on Aice's face.
His eyes were glued to the screen but he still heard the cough that she made, often doing this kind of work Aice was used to blocking out most other noises. Deciding that she needed to speak up, she called out to Aice,

"Um, excuse me?"

Looking up from the screen Aice saw her standing across the room from him, taking a few seconds to regain his thoughts he spoke to her.

"Good to see you’re finally awake, after what happened to you. It must have been one hell of a good fight from the signs of your battered body, but enough of that."

Pushing his chair back Aice walked around the table towards the young Saiyan. Stopping just within arms distance, Aice looked up at her. Being this close it was very apparent how much taller she was than him, barely making it past her waist. Ignoring the height difference Aice floated up to eye level with her, making it so that they were the same height. Aice took his hand and placed it on her forehead, saying to her

"Well it looks like the medicine is doing its job; you don't have a fever and your wounds seem to be healing nicely."

Taking is hand away from her head; Aice sat down in a nearby chair looking at her.

"We might as well get the formalities over with since we're both in the same room. My name is Aice, I am the head and only scientist on this here ship, I'm also head engineer and head doctor. If there is a problem that needs fixing or someone that needs fixing I'm the one that you go to. I'm also a devout follower of Touketsuki and the world trade organization."

Taking a few second to let all that had been said set in with her, Aice started up again,

"Now what would you like me too call you, being that calling you "Saiyan" has started to getting old." Aice said with a smile on his face.

[Serori Yakedo-Satsumaimo]

the alien turned around and looked at serori.
"good to see you're awake especially after that fight." he walked up to serori, and she noticed he was much shorter than she. he made himself float in order to finish checking out serori. whether through telekinesis, or ki, or some other means, serori didn't know, but the alien gave a nod when serori checked out fine.
"the medicine appears to be working fine, your wounds have healed up well." he continued to explain that his name was aice, and he was the chief

[Serori Yakedo-Satsumaimo]

doctor, scientist, engineer. then it was serori's turn to introduce herself.
"i am serori satsumaimo. thank you very much for healing me. my friends, caius and jorlaxl, found me on vegeta after...after a bad incident, and i decided to go with them and join the wto." serori wasn't sure if she should have told aice of her parents, so she decided to play it safe. "speaking of my friends, would you happen to know where they are?"
(sorry for the lateness of reply, and multiple parts, no pc :[)

[Caius]

Caius walked into the room, elated to see their psychotic, schizophrenic companion had recovered from her injuries. The demon hadn't meant to hurt Serori, only to incapacitate her in her feral state. She obviously wasn't in control of herself at the time, so he made an executive decision. Gladly, everything had worked out in the end. And it looked like she'd met Aice. He'd have to formally introduce her to Gurin and Suki, familiarity was crucial to the cohesiveness of their unit.

Walking in, he gave a friendly smile to Aice, accompanied by something between a nod and a bow. He walked over, and shook the small alien's hand, and greeted him warmly. Aice was very valuable to the WTO, being an engineer, doctor, a scientist, and a decent fighter, he filled many roles left open by their dearth of members. He was also a good fighter, he'd put his best against the fearsome Ikezu, and the two had been able to survive long enough for their lord to intervene.

"Well hello there Serori, Aice. My good doctor friend here should have patched you up just fine. No hard feelings about what happened about the museum, eh?"

He chuckled to himself as he remembered their interesting jaunt through Saru City. The Zeni they'd made would be vital to upcoming operations, and he was sure that the physical training helped as well. Jorlaxl had obtained his armor from their raids, so to say, and they were making his training much more effective.

"So Aice, how is our little Saiyan doing?"

While Serori was able to stand up, and had apparently dressed herself, only Aice, the real doctor here, would be able to diagnose if any permanent trauma had been caused by Caius's, admittedly angry, counterattack. He'd knocked her out promptly, and he had been worried about whether he'd been too harsh with his treatment ever since. Outwardly, he was jovial, but inwardly some hand-wringing speck of a Caius remained. He did care for his friends and allies. While he was a demon, he wasn't quite purely evil. His desire for self-improvement and controlling power could be aligned as such, but he didn't really think of himself as a truly evil person. The worst he'd done were his childish raids on stores on Earth, and his focused, plundering raids on Saru City.

[Deleted]

Aice sat across from the young Saiyan on his small chrome stool, as she talked. Telling him about how she met Caius and Jorlaxl down on the planet, when they raided the museum, and how a little “incident” happened causing her to end up in her current state. Aice listened intently as she talked about her short adventure, keeping his eyes directly on her the whole time.

Finishing up her story she took a second to pause before speaking again.

"Speaking of my friends, would you happen to know where they are?" she asked Aice.

As soon as the words left her mouth Caius walked into casually into the room, with a worry look in his eyes. After seeing that Serori was standing up and moving the look disappeared from his eyes. Giving a quick smile to Aice he walked over shook his hand, Aice obliged to this as Caius was one of his only friends. Taking his hands he give him a firm hand shake, letting go Caius took a few steps back and looked at the both of them.

"Well hello there Serori, Aice. My good doctor friend here should have patched you up just fine. No hard feelings about what happened about the museum, eh?"

Turning to Aice Caius asked,

"So Aice, how is our little Saiyan doing?"

Aice took a quick glance over at Serori, looking at her from top to bottom. With a small nod he turned back to Caius.

"Well from a medical standing she is very healthy and should be ok to start training with you."

Aice hopped down from his stool, and walked over to the cabinet on the nearby wall. He continued to talk as he searched through its contents; metal bottles could be heard sliding around as he did so.

"The wounds that the two of you inflected on her weren't severe enough to do any internal damage, just external which is good for her. Although the wounds that she did sustain were bad enough that she did need stitches, a lot of them. But not to worry, like I said she'll be alright."

Finding what he needed Aice closed the cabinet, turning he walked back to the group. Stopping at his stool, Aice hopped back up resuming his sitting position; in his hand he held a small glass bottle. The bottle was divided into two parts, the top half had a blue liquid in it, while the bottom half was filled with a white substance.

Looking back at Serori, Aice took a breath and resumed his train of thought,

"However those stitches are only as strong as the material they are made of, which compared to you they are like paper. Which means for the next few days you'll have to take it easy. Otherwise those stitches could come undone."

Aice raised the bottle up towards Serori, handing it too her. As he did so he continued to talk,

"Now this medicine shall help your healing process along. The blue liquid will reduce the chances of any infections you might get in your weakened state, drink a teaspoon once a day. The white substance is a cream; apply it to your wounds twice a day, once when you wake up and again after you shower. If you do those two things ever day you'll be back to full strength in a few days…tops." Aice said with a smile on his face.

Aice looked back at Caius,

" Now since I won’t always be there to remind her all the time, I'm expect you to make sure she does it, we don't want her to get sick now do we?" Aice said with a slight grim on his face.

Hopping down from his chair Aice started to make the short trip back to his desk were his computer lay. Stopping half way, ask a thought struck him he turned back towards Caius.

"Oh and one last thing Caius...I'm going to need a small sample of your blood if you don't mind."

[Serori Yakedo-Satsumaimo]

No sooner had she asked about her friends than Caius walked in.

"Well hello there Serori, Aice. My good doctor friend here should have patched you up just fine. No hard feelings about what happened about the museum, eh?" He chuckled. Serori smiled at this small sign of jest, and shook her head. She took no offense to what Caius had done, it was what had been needed at the time. "So, Aice, how is our Saiyan friend doing?"

Aice looked Serori up and down, and gave a satisfactory nod. Apparently she checked out just fine. "Well from a medical standing she is very healthy and should be ok to start training with you." Aice hopped down from his stool, and walked over to the cabinet on the nearby wall. He rummaged around in time for some time, still talking to Caius. "The wounds that the two of you inflected on her weren't severe enough to do any internal damage, just external which is good for her. Although the wounds that she did sustain were bad enough that she did need stitches, a lot of them. But not to worry, like I said she'll be alright." He finally found what he was looking for, and turned around, holding a bottle with a blue, thin fluid, and on the bottom, a viscous looking white liquid. He turned to Serori, before continuing.

"However those stitches are only as strong as the material they are made of, which compared to you they are like paper. Which means for the next few days you'll have to take it easy. Otherwise those stitches could come undone." He handed the bottle to Serori, who took it, looking at it. The glass was slightly cold, and it felt good to hold in her hand. She didn't like the prospect of taking it easy, if she wanted to get as good as Caius or Jorlaxl, she'd have to train very hard.

"Now this medicine shall help your healing process along. The blue liquid will reduce the chances of any infections you might get in your weakened state, drink a teaspoon once a day. The white substance is a cream; apply it to your wounds twice a day, once when you wake up and again after you shower. If you do those two things ever day you'll be back to full strength in a few days…tops." Aice turned to Caius to talk to him this time. " Now since I won’t always be there to remind her all the time, I'm expect you to make sure she does it, we don't want her to get sick now do we?" He said with a chuckle. Serori wasn't sure she liked the idea of being under what would feel like "adult supervision," but she also knew that where medicine was concerned, she tended to be very forgetful, and she might well have to rely on Caius to remind her to take it.

Aice told Caius that he needed a sample of the Makaioshin's blood, and so Serori stood back a bit. If Caius wanted her to leave, she would do so, but for now, she would wait so she could walk with him to go train.

[Caius]

Caius winced a little, looking at the extensive, and large stitches on Serori's body. Her eyes screamed that she wanted to train more, to become more powerful, perhaps as powerful as the two WTO lieutenants who'd recruited her, but her body wasn't ready. He'd be able to show her the ropes, and maybe get some basic training in, but nothing big. She gave him a toothy smile, showing off her predatory Saiyan teeth. Caius looked back at Aice as he was talking, and heard something about a blood sample.

"You need a sample of my blood? Oh...I guess that's okay. You do your doctor thing."

Caius didn't exactly know what a blood sample entailed, until Aice pulled out the nasty looking needle. Caius's eyes widened, but then he realized that he was probably just going to poke an appendage or something. Looking down at his own body, he realized his arm was probably the most convenient place for anyone to draw blood from. Flexing his muscles, in order to make his veins pop more, Caius rolled his sleeves up, exposing arms covered in shiny, brilliant white hairs. Aice floated up to his level, and drew the needle.

Closing his eyes to stop himself from overreacting as the needle drew close, he preemptively winced, awaiting great piercing pain, pain worthy of the greatest tortures devised by man or beast.

[Deleted]

"You need a sample of my blood? Oh...I guess that's okay. You do your doctor thing."
Caius seemed a little taken back from Aice's request, being that it was a little out of the ordinary. He looked down at his body at his arm to were the blood would most likely be drawn from.

Turning back towards his desk Aice grabbed a nearby syringe from its holder. Taking the cap off from the tip, the thin chrome needle could be seen. Facing back towards Caius Aice began his short stroll over to him, while Caius was rolling up his shirt sleeves.

"Now not to worry this shouldn't hurt a bit with these special needles. They use a small gravity force to cut a very small hole in your skin, micro meters thin. Then I inject the needle into the hole and take some of your blood, the process in very quick and painless." Aice said finally reaching Cauis.

Reaching out Aice took his arm, and planted the needle on the surface of his skin. With a light push the needle went into his flesh, with barley any resistance against it. Pulling back on the syringe the blood began to flow into the back of it. After a few seconds the vial was full and Aice pulled the needle back out of his Cauis's skin.

Holding the syringe up to a nearby light Aice examined Cauis blood closely, turning it slowly as he did so. Seeming satisfied that he got what he need Aice looked back at Cauis saying,

"Very nice, it looks like we are done here. Now I just need to do closer examination on my computer. Anyway, you're both healthy in my eyes so you’re free to go from here. Just take it easy Serori and I shouldn't have to see you down here anytime soon."

[Serori Yakedo-Satsumaimo]

Serori watched Aice draw blood from Caius. There wasn't much to see, but the needle was somewhat interesting. The small alien had explained to the much larger Makaioshin that it wouldn't hurt, as the needle uses a small gravity force to cut a very small hole in the skin, micro meters thin, before sliding the needle in. Serori didn't watch that part, she was a bit squeamish about needles being put underneath skin, especially if it wasn't her own skin. Instead she turned to the bottle of medicine that Aice had given her, and studied it intensively.

When he was done, Aice held the vial up to the light, and examined it. It appeared that Aice was quite satisfied, as he gave a nod of approval before saying, "Very nice, it looks like we are done here. Now I just need to do closer examination on my computer. Anyway, you're both healthy in my eyes so you’re free to go from here. Just take it easy Serori and I shouldn't have to see you down here anytime soon." Serori nodded, and thanked Aice once more, before turning to the Makaioshin.

"Shall we do some introducing? I'm dying to know where everything is, and to get some...intense training going on." She winked at Aice to let him know that, while being entirely serious, she did actually want to stay in health, and so would not be training at her full strength just yet. She didn't want her stitches to come out, and to look like a weak fool in front of her new lord. After all, he could very easily just think about her being gone, and vaporize her. Or at least, that is what Serori thought.

As Caius showed her around the ship, she struck up some thoughts. What was Suki like? She knew he was definitely powerful. Very powerful, if she was to believe her sense from Vegeta. She knew what the WTO was, and what it did, she'd heard gossip about a group of warriors getting together on Namek to overthrow Suki. Was he powerful enough to take all of them on? Serori wasn't sure how much help she'd be, even after she was fully healed. She was still marginally weaker than either Caius or Jorlaxl, and they had said that they were much much weaker than Suki. Maybe he could hold his own...Serori really hoped so. To be under the rule of the strongest ruler in the galaxy, that is all she wanted. An added bonus would be to eventually be strong enough to possibly even be second in command. And, should the event ever rise that whom she was under were ever to fall in battle, she wanted to be able to avenge them, and take up where they left off. Again, only if at all possible. She would have to survive under the rule of such a powerful warrior first, and not be deemed unworthy.

Serori followed Caius, and eventually they came to the training room.

(OOC- I'm done with this thread, I believe, Aice, if you need me again for something, just PM me. Either of you two, feel free to post whatever you want to happen in between Serori thanking Aice, and asking Caius to show her the ropes. Thanks! PL Please)

[Caius]
