i i was in a pretty great mood that evening when she got ho. She slid into the house with a hiss on her lips, and nearly tumbled over the tiger cub. It was the douse of cold water she needed to remind her that in her house, she had to walk carefully at all tis like an intruder.
The tiger cub jumped on her leg and clung to pants with small sharp nails, making distressed ows.
"Great job Count Ticula, you have ruined my pants." She said with dry sarcasm and then picked up the cub. "What do you have to complain about? You have a luxury house, feed on expensive food, sleep on a comfortable bed and watch cartoons. I even bought you all the toys...."
It wrung on her hair and she winced.
"Does anyone know why Count Ticula is furious?" she shouted.
Su mama, stepped out of the kitchen with Count Ticula’s feeding bottle. So all this fuss was over so milk! Count Ticula jumped down and run to Su mama, owing even louder and more furiously. It was not enough to announce his hunger, he jumped up and tried to grab the bottle.
She squatted down and started feeding him. He grabbed the bottle and run away with it. They had all beco accustod to watching the baby tiger laying on its bed and drinking from the bottle like a baby.
"Young miss, welco back." Su mama approached i i with a smile and took the bag from her. "Young miss, why are you without a personal assistant? Even the little miss has one. If you need help, I can tell my daughter to quit her job and co work for you. She is a gold level personal assistant."
i i was surprised to see her old nanny but she did not ask what the woman was doing in her house. It was likely that her mother had sent her or the old woman have volunteered to co over.
"Thank you Su mama, if she is willing then I will hire her." i i stretched her arms.
Chen mama ca from the kitchen and handed i i a cup of Lemon balm tea. She tch-ed at Su mama as she walked away.
"Mmm." i i frowned.
"She thinks I am here to steal her job." Su mama whispered.
i i sighed. She had no plans of getting in the middle of the staff battles. Mama Su was a wise woman, she would handle it.
When she reached her bedroom, she stripped down to her undergarnts and wrapped a towel around her body. Then, she opened her bag and too out the printed papers which contained so of the information that C4 had found in the wrong.
As it turned out, the ring was an information storage device and not an ordinary piece of shiny jewelry. When C4 told her this, the first thought she had was espionage. It had been found on the finger of a thief so maybe he was stealing sensitive information too.
The other assumption was blackmail material. She had decided to look at it when she got ho.
Before flipping through the papers, she called Mingzhu’s smart watch and her daughter answered the call imdiately.
"Mommy, mommy, look I can do a proper curtsy now." Mingzhu shouted.
i i chose hologram video projection. She saw her daughter dipping and standing perfectly. "Wow." She clapped.
Mingzhu jumped up and down, clapping for herself. "Teacher Yuelanxin said that she has never seen a quick learner like . I am also learning classic dance with my cousins, today was day one. We will be dancing on the birthday of the Empress Mother in three months."
"Wow! Mingzhu, you are the best." i i praised her.
Mingzhu showed off the ribbons around her hands and she raised her hands, trying to be a s graceful as a crane. She looked more like a clumsy turkey but none the less, i i praised her.
"And I can spin." Mingzhu said with glee.
She raised her arms, stood straight and tried to spin more the five tis.
"Gosh, you are as perfect as ....mmmmm...a hummingbird." i i clapped for her. "Keep practicing and when you return, you will teach ."
Mingzhu looked away from the cara. Her na was being called, so she waved at i i and run off. i i barely got to wave goodbye or tell Mingzhu that she would call her before bedti or share how much she missed her. This temporary quiet was nice but she also missed the chaotic noise of her daughter.
She sipped so tea and started flipping through the papers.
"I would begin with the one marked one." C4 advised her.
i i picked it up and started reading through it.
[Personal research notes of Dr. Zhou Jingihua on project Z. We have been experinting with ancient DNA for thirty one years now but the progress is not moving along quite like we hoped. All the species we have birthed successfully live no more than thirty seconds and die.
Recently, Dr. Lou Nanli stumbled into the lab with two mysterious eggs in a large suitcase. Her injuries were grave and she succumbed to them before she could provide more information on the eggs.
The eggs are unlike anything that I have ever seen in my life. One is plain and one bejeweled like the bejeweled dragon egg owned by the royal family. So of my colleagues thought about selling the eggs but I see a great research opportunity here.
Eggs of this size, especially the plain one must have been birthed by sothing. Sothing like what we seek to create. It inspired hope in that perhaps, what we are hoping to bring back to life is not so far off.
The plain egg which is the size of four full grown ostriches is truly unlike anything on this earth. I doubt that it was made to be eaten as an olet.
Unknown Egg Spec Sheet [Quadstrich]
Height: 8.6 feet. [approx. 2.6 ters].
Width: 5.5 feet. [approx. 1.7 ters]
Weight: 540 kilograms.[1,190 lbs]
Physical Traits
Shell Texture: Smooth with pulsing geotric ridges.
Coloration: Iridescent blue with patches that flick between silver and crimson in the dark.
Core Signature: Emits periodic vibrations --possibly complaining about my morning breath as I wake up at 3:00 A.M to talk to it.
Interior Composition [Speculative]
Unknown as no machine in our lab can peek inside. We have failed to get a clear image of what it contains. My suspicion is that it could be in incubation, if it is really alive.
My colleagues and I are currently debating it’s a dormant biological weapon or an alien pod carrying a real alien on the inside. I have taken to squatting on top of it like a bird for four hours a day.
It is my hope that if and when it hatches or opens. It will recognize as a mother as I am working tirelessly to bring it to life.]
