The meeting

Tech was going about the school buildings quietly, so as to not attract any unwanted attention, in search of anything that he could use in his 'projects'. The place certainly lacked many necesities, to be certain, but that did not mean that there were not some things there that could prove usefull to him.

Sadly, on this night his efforts were proving to be fruitless, as he could not find anything of great use... Because of this, Tech was feeling a little depressed, not that you could tell, and was considering on going back to his room.

"I can accomplish nothing more for tonight. Analysis over the current situation is proving that my efforts, though effeciently being carried out, are all in vain. I should cease all current fuctions and go back to my designated dorm room; so that I may utilize what hours I have remaining to rest." Tech reaching this conclusion is his mind, turned around and started to make his way back through the school as quietly as he could.

Tech then passed the stairs that Cassandra had gone up not too long ago, and noticed the thin ice trail (which was currenly melting) that she had left behind on the floor. The scanner in Tech's mask indicated that the current temperature was not suited for the formation of ice. "What a interesting phenomenon..."

Tech in his bored state, and the unusuall characteristics of the phenomenon before him, compelled him to follow the ice trail. He wished to invistigate the anomoly and find out its cause. He followed the ice trail carefully, so as to not trip on the ice, until he finally came out onto the roof of the school building. There he saw what appeared to be a very beautiful (yet unusually pale) girl. His mask then detected an alarming drop in the temperature of the air around him. He also noticed that she was standing in a decent patch of ice. "She is the cause? Is she a mutant? I must invistigate further..."

So Tech walked a little closer to the girl and asked her,"Greetings, would you please state you designated identification?"

Cassandra moved some of the long hair away from her face and then her gaze returned to watch the area in front of her. "Is there anything I can help you with? Or did you come to kill me? Would be as well if you where."

Tech was at a utter lost for words. The whole situation did not compute to him. This girl desired to cease functioning? Why? Why would anyone want to cease functioning? Was this girl insane or could it be that she was completely overwhelmed with grief? This required further analysis...

Tech tried to get closer (so as to analyze her more closely), but found, through the systems in his mask, that the temperature dropped the closer he got to the said subject...

He stopped completely when he felt stinging frost forming on him. Tech took a few steps back, and analyzed the situation in his mind. It would appear that she had little control over her powers. For she appeared to have nothing against him coming closer to her or his presence there. Therefore, she was probably not causing the drop in temperature deliberately.

"I did not come here to request assistance, and I did not come here with the intention to make you cease all biological functions." Tech finally said, after having spent some moments analysing the strange situation over in his head.

"May I be of some assistance to you?" Tech asked, out of curiosity.


Cassandra moved her legs closer to herself and wrapped the arms around them. "It's so cold" She said with a low voice.

That was enough to get Tech on the job of solving this current problem before him. He was bored stiff, and he felt sorry for the beautiful, mournful girl before him. So he began to think.

"I am unable to reach a definate solution to this problem...further analysis is needed..." Tech began going over how we would do just that. He had a long range scanner in his room, which he had completed not that long ago...and he had worked on such cases as this before. (How will be explained later in the topic.)

"Please remain where you are, for I must go back to my room to acquire the necessary equipment for solving this problem." Tech then quickly went back down the way he had come up, to fetch the tools he would need. He felt compelled by this interesting challenge lying before him. Also, he felt some pity for the girl and had decided that it would be only just to try to lend her his services.

Tech came back to the roof, caring with him several odd-looking devices. He placed them all down, taking care as some of them were exceptionally sensative. He had everything in place within only a few minutes.

Tech got as close as he could to her, and then held up a large scanner towards her, "Please hold still, I am scanning your genetic scructure." Tech said activating the device. A think red light began moving up and down across the girl's body. The device fed its info into Tech's mask, via a little cord that was plugged into it.

Tech looked over the information that the device was attaining. "It is as I suspected, your genetic structure very loosely resembles a Vetoxine from planet Vetox. I may have a solution to this problem." Tech placed the small device down and began to shuffle through the pile of equipement that he had brought with him.

"In the Dole Empire, there is an alien species, the Vetoxine, that have the ability to freeze their surroundings. The Dole utilized them in their military forces, after having conquering them. However, their powers proved to be difficult to handle. So in order to help them better use their powers they used special suites, that my people made especially for them." Tech then brought out a large looking black suite, that looked big enough for a gorilla to wear, and held it up for her to see. It was a little large but with some modifications, he could make it fit.

"With some modifications, I can make it fit you. The mutation in your gentic makeup is roughly like the aliens species Vetoxine's natural genetic structure. So, in theory, it should suppress the more 'harmful' effects of your powers. Now, your powers will be weakened but you will be able to go near others. As for you feeling cold...that may proof a little more difficult and will require more data... However, I do believe that I have a possible solution for that problem." Tech's mechanized arm split in half and he began to work on the suite, cutting it up and making it smaller. It was a bit difficult, even for someone as skilled as Tech, but he would triumph over the currrent task before him.

Soon he had it finished and ready. "Please try this on." Tech walked as close as he could and put it on the ground. Tech then quickly backed up, not wishing to be frozen. He then turned around to give her privacy.

NOTE: The suite covers her whole body, except her hands, and is skin tight. :3

Tech realizing that the girl was done changing, turned around and looked her over. She looked very attractive in it. "It fits well, good. Now then..."

Tech began to slowly walk closer to her. His mask's scanner detected that the temperature around her was normal now, but he was wanted to proceed with caution anyway...One could never tell with such situations as these.

His cautious approach was not needed, however, as he soon learned upon getting closer to her. He made it to standing only a few feet away from her. Tech, once again, could not help but note her above average beauty. He carefully analyzed how well-shaped her face was and how clear colored her eyes were.

He then mentally shook himself out of it, and proceeded to analyze the current condition of the suite. It seemed to be doing its job well, and it was holding up ok...

"Satisfactory. However, now I must adress the issue of your 'feeling cold all the time'. As I said before, I may have a solution to that. However, it would require more extensive tests and study. The equipment needed to begin the project are back in my lab, and are too heavy for me carry to this remote location. Therefore, I request that you follow me back to my room." Tech was not as sure about solving her second problem as he was the first. If her problem was being caused by what he theorized was causing it, then this could get complicated...
