Illogical Science (Helle/Ehefra)

The Steingruft was pretty easy to notice when you reached it. For one, the directory was clear enough, the signs that guided one through the silbern. But once they actually REACHED the Steingruft. Well, it was very obvious. The surrounding walls changed to a smooth, clean, featureless glassy surface. A plain wall with a sign overhanging it. As well as a notice. Office Hours, as well as a Sign detailing Security Clearance requirements. Of course, under normal circumstances one of the Automated Cubes would be manning the desk. But as luck would have it, Helle would see none other than the Administrator of the department by the desk. She was going through files as it were. The floating Sphere that was the 'secretary'. A sort of emulation of her own Beeps that accompanied her. But for the time being, the little floating thing was inert. So it wasn't until she heard Helle's footsteps that Ehefra glanced up from her consol.

"Armstrong? Huh didn't expect to see you here for a while." She didn't seem surprised in the slightest that Helle was back. A calm smile flashing across her features as she stood upright and flashed a lopsided smile at the woman. As she did, that little pale cube poked out from the pocket of her jacket, peeking up at Helle before vanishing back into her pocket. "dWhat can I do ya for?" She ventured casually. Waling out from behind the desk and gesturing toward the wall. A seam promptly sliding along it's length before peeling open, The reishi the wall was made from breaking down to reform into a door.

"Let's head to my workspace. You're here to visit, yea?"

She blinked.

Her head tilting ever so slightly as she stopped in the doorway to the Steingruft, raising her brows when Helle simply responded with her name. Huh, that intense stare really was something. She'd heard a couple times about it. Though, admittedly, that wasn't Helle's most legendary of features. Not that she really paid much attention to all that. She barely knew much of anything of the woman. But hey, it's not like she really knew the woman personally.

However, when Helle suddenly asked her that question she stopped in her tracks completely, glancing over her shoulder as Helle went on to ask her such a question out of the blue.

"Ah, is this what they mean when they talk about a Femme Fatale? I didn't know Older Women were so scary." She smirked, chuckling lightly about being asked such a thing. "I told you to come inside didn't I?" She stated simply, turning back toward the hall before them and promptly leading the way toward her personal workspace, expecting that Helle would follow. Why else would she be here after all?

The walkway itself was fairly straightforward. Smooth, almost featureless walls save for the other corridors. Several areas were in evidence. Archives full of volumes and scrolls. Server rooms kept cool behind closed marked doors. Signs showing the way down the different ones. Testing areas, lecture halls, meeting rooms. And finally they made it to Ehefra's own personal workspace. A large room with a number of computers and consoles. A number of inert spheres lying around. Some of them lit up, others simply dull and lifeless, the kind that were simetimes deployed out on missions or stationed around the Steingruft as guides. The place was a little untidy, but it had an air of controlled chaos.

Making her way to her own large circular table at the center of the room, Ehefra promptly rested her rear on the edge of the table as she leaned back against it. "People were saying you jumped off a cliff. Glad to hear the rumors weren't true. Whatever is going on in your head, please be gentle. I have a meeting later today."

Oh yea? THAT got her dinglers wigglin? Ehefra's brow raised slightly as Helle promptly seemed to focus on the new director. "You askin for like, her medical records? OR like, her vibe? She's like... fine. It's certainly been interesting working with her. But well, that just comes with a change in oversight. I'm sure if you wanna meet her yourself it shouldn't be too hard." She stated casually enough, lightly kicking her legs at the edge of the desk as she let her shoulders relax a bit.

Certainly there was an awful lot of ...purpose in Helle's stare. Interesting. All the while, the room hummed ever so slightly and Beeps circled Helle curiously. "That said, kinda surprised you don't know more about her. Aren't you Directors all buddy buddy or something? I'm sure they'll be showing up to say hello once they know you're back. I wouldn't be surprised if she's clearing an afternoon right now. Fancy girls are like that." She waved a hand dismissively at the very thought.

"Why, thinkin of paying her a visit next?"

"That you are, but once you return to your new post I'm sure you'll be brought back up to speed. You ARE looking to return to your old post, aren't you?" She asked with a raised brow and a playful smile towards the woman, continuing to lightly click her legs a bit as she watched the woman closely. Noticing the sudden flick of attention to their surroundings, Ehefra gave a light chuckled and smiled as she leaned back in her chair.

"I'll be the first to admit I'm VERY interested in your body. Your miraculous recovery. The potent Spiritual energy coming off ya. But no, I'm not one to go scanning people without permission. When I'm not under orders to do so, eat least." She noted calmly. "That said, if you're volunteering..."

Ehefra raised a hand, and opened her palm. A slim ring of reishi forming above her hand before slowly rising up. A soft, crackling noise sounding as the ring rose and promptly pulled in reishi, slowly constructing a slim silver bracelet hovering above Ehefra's palm. Constructing it from some sort of blueprint seemingly. Plucking the item from the air, Ehefra held it out to Helle and smiled.

"A device that monitors and records information about yourself and anything you might be engaged with. I've already had a few members of the Vandenreich volunteer to wear them so that I can collect data on their own abilities and anything they fight. IT's provided a very nice ammount of data about their own abilities, as well as information from the hollows in Africa's abilities." She pointed out before glancing off to the side. One of the computers promptly lit up, and a projection of an Armored creature showed up on the console. The Vasto Lorde that Liltotto had fought. A very basic display without any further information.

"I've been meaning to get in contact with the Sternritter up and ups about more widespread use. For data collecting purposes, and intel collection for our sneakier friends in the vandenreich. Not gonna lie, I'd be very interested in your own data. I've heard a lot of stories about your abilities in the past." She pointed out, sliding off the table and walking directly up to Helle. "Course, not like you gotta answer right now. I'm sure you got a lot of stuff on your plate as is."

Oh? Was that how short the pipeline was? A full two sentences after saying she wouldn't scan someone without permission and the woman's memory wipes and she brings up mandate. She thinned her lips just a little. Smon Ehefra, be nice. She's just.....still getting back into the swing of things. No need to think mean things about her.

"As I'll repeat myself Helle. I don't go taking scans without permission unless it's by one of my boss's orders." She noted flatly in firm dismissal. She shook her head just a bit and turned her back on Helle as she brought her attention to the console.

Still, she paused and glanced over her shoulder when she noticed Helle's eyes affixed to the display on the screen. "Yes ma'am, The hole." She confirmed, before a larger display swept upward above the hollow themselves. A massive display of the hole's interior structure. Little fragments littered down below the surface, showing implications of branches, crevices, and other features surrounding the chasm. Naturally, it wasn't great, long range scans weren't the best, but it gave a fair estimation of the thing.

"If you wind up taking your old post, I'll be sure to give you the full rundown if you like." She sat herself in her chair, taking just a moment to eye all the data. Well, what could be displayed. There was so much more than that though. Full scans of a number of fights. Flow, potency, pressure. A full analysis of their enemy's spirit energy, and their bodies themselves. Nonsense for most individuals. But for Ehefra; who had spent her life converting such flows and ebbs into a coding language of her very own, they were like music. Music in need of the proper instrument to play.

"But well, I doubt you have much interests in scans I suppose. Still, I can compile the reports to something more digestible." She noted with a dismissive wave of her hand, the displays all promptly thinning out into nothing , leaving the default display as she did so.
