          ::taps at the microphone like device embedded in the computer console in front of her:: Is thing on?

           ::standing a few feet away from Hericane with her hands on a few buttons on the computer panel, her expression still military neutral, but with a hint of annoyance:: The recording device has been in operational mode from the moment we began this project, Hericane.

          ::fidgets her hands on the console in front of her:: Oh. Ok. ::she looks sheepishly at Lady Hericane as she nervously plays with the microphone:: I guess I'm just nervous. Since I'm doin a recording. I'm no good at them. I did one for my mom for her birthday one year ::looks away for a moment, half smiling, half frowning:: I messed it up, even the best one I did, but mom still loved it. She said I should have my own CDs and be a famous singer.

           ::rolls her eyes but maintains her neutral demeanor:: Yes, I am aware of your maternal anecdote. As much as it is heartfelt and uplifting, we still must remain to the immediate task at hand to document your personal thoughts on Wherlwynd.

           Wherlwynd ::Heri repeats the name lifelessly, her emotions obvious as she's scared to bring up the name:: Her...        

           ::taps on the console, a little bit more rattled and annoyed:: Yes, HER, Hericane. ::nearly glares at Heri but maintains her composure:: I know you are uncomfortable upon voicing any form of opinion or merely surfacing her into your thoughts even in the smallest sense. I as well have my difficulty in reflecting upon my own alternate identity, and maintaining an objective viewpoint ::Lady Hericane pauses,  thinking about Lady Wherlwynd as Hericane is Wherlwynd:: Nevertheless, that makes the completion of this project all the more necessary.

          ::standing at the far end of the row of computer consoles Kendal patiently stood quietly then cleared her throat. Walking up a few moments ago as she overheard Lady and Heri while initially heading to the teleporters, she turned around and went to see if she could help. Standing at the far end of the row of console panels Kendal cleared her throat, getting Lady Heri's attention and a bit of Heri's:: That set of equipment sometimes acts up doesn't it? Perhaps I should continue on with the project for now? ::looking at Lady Heri, Kendal subtly nodded her head towards Heri and raised an eyebrow::

            ::merely stares at Kendal before responding, looking back down to the monitor every few seconds:: Thank you for your concern Kendal Bach, but the recording apparatus seems to be in nominal working condition. I am well aware of its operating procedures and will contact you should I have difficulty resolving a technical problem.

           ::Kendal looks back at Lady Heri with little expression in return, then smiles politely:: Ok, I just thought the project would move along a little faster if a a fresh set of eyes took a peek ::While talking Kendal covertly hits a specific button on her bracelet, as well as a corresponding set of keys on a keypad nearby::

            ::Lady Heri responded, not paying much attention::  Your continued concern is again welcome, however the problem at hand is...

            ::Pyro Kitty enters the tech area from the other hallway, near the base entrance, hitting a few buttons and turning a few dials on a panel next to the end of the bank of desktop machines:: What's up, chicas?

            ::turns to look at Pyro Kitty and stands there a moment before she speaks, holding out an arm at Kitty:: Greetings Pyro Kitty. Please do not adjust  the settings on that particular device, as I am currently assisting Hericane in recording her opinions on Wherlwynd.

           ::Pyro Kitty stops turning a dial, and looks up, folding her arms::  All right. All right. Go on and keep doing your techie stuff.  If need more time to get ready for our fight, I getcha.

          ::Lady Heri looked slighted, and just looked back at Pyro, then turned her head to look at Heri, who was still sitting down near the microphone, fidgeting, but looking at Lady expectantly for some instruction. Lady gave Heri a quick sympathetic look of "I'm sorry" and then turns to respond to Pyro:: I do not require additional preparation for the mutual contest of armed combat. Regardless, I do not recall the date being this early. Did we not agree to battle two weeks from today's date?

          ::Pyro looked sheepish for a moment, her tail dancing slightly matching her grin. Afterwards she just merely shrugs, not appearing phased again::  Yeah we probably did. I don't remember exactly. That doesn't matter though. Thought we just threw that as day to plan around, and then we'd pick a day that was good. And no better time like today, right? Unless you'd rather wait. If you need to train and get ready, you can say so.

          ::Lady stood up straight up, flipping a switch near her, the console going into lockdown mode:: I have made it perfectly clear that my combat skills are more that adequate for any sparring sessions that you wish to personally critique with your own. If you do not have the patience and ability to wait until I am at a juncture in time where I do not have other tasks to attend to, so be it. Proceed to head down to the training arena.

          ::seeing Lady Heri starting to walk away, Heri sits confused for a moment, then her eyes widen with understanding as she jumps up out of her seat and starts to follow Lady:: ooooo Fight! Fight! Fight! ::Heri starts chanting like a kid in elementary school spotting a fight between two other kids::

          ::nearly to the doorway to the practice room, Lady slows down and stops, and turns around, almost causing Heri to run into her as she keeps chanting and waving her fists excitedly:: Hericane, as much as I enjoy spectators, please return and finish the transcription of your knowledge on Wherlwynd. Upon completion you are most welcome to witness my victory over Pyro Kitty and participate in the festivities that follow.

          ::Pyro remarks matter-of-factly:: You'll still lose, Lady. But it will be fun for all, regardless.

          ::Heri's heart sank, and frowns and she tried to pleads:: Awww, I don't wanna, you know I like watchin you fight Lady

          ::Lady looks at Heri for a moment. Her rigid military instinct tells her that Heri is partly doing this to get out of talking about Wherlwynd, a subject she avoids if given the chance. But seeing the disappointment on Heri's face, Lady knows Heri's more saddened about missing her sparring. Heri always enjoyed being at events that her friends enjoyed, more so with the other Heris, regardless if Heri understood or enjoyed them. Seeing the kid-like hope in Heri's eyes, Lady looked back with a pained sympathetic look and sighed.:: I appreciate your continual support Hericane, regardless of what transpires. Please follow Pyro Kitty and me to the training arena and into the observation lounge. I assure you that we will continue and complete the transcription of your thoughts and view of Wherlwynd at a later time.

          ::Kendal subtly coughs for a moment. When Lady Hericane doesn't appear to catch her hint, Kendal starts walking a few steps behind Lady and Pyro:: I'll come along as well, to monitor your healths and record your battle experiences for later review.

          ::Lady kept walking, unfazed:: Your offer to volunteer your services are quite welcome Kendal Bach, but I am most certain that all members present are well aware that the nature of my skills regarding the training facility meet the minimum requirements and in most cases exceed them.

          ::Feigning a momentary pause to appear to consider this, Kendal continued:: Hmm, very true. I'd still like to watch your duel, if you wouldn't mind. Since I don't have anything else I could be doing at the moment.

           ::the Aldanian nodded:: That is acceptable. Additional observation always leads to beneficial outcomes. ::Lady Hericane trailed off on her last statement, while Kendal turned her head slightly to look at her:: However, an idea that comes to the forefront of my current thoughts. If you are not currently occupied with any previous engagements or responsibilities, assisting Hericane with recording her opinions on the data that we currently have on Wherlwynd, so as to further be able to adapt a dossier on her personality to which to provide better information on the nature of Wherlwynd and her associates.

           ::Kendal grinned slightly:: I think I can manage that. ::Pausing while placing a finger on her lip in contemplation, then finishing out her though:: Are you sure you can handle the recordings for all the required detail. As I recall, a few of your last sparrings with Kitty had been hastily setup records due to you wanting to fight prematurely. 

          ::Lady's usual emotionless expression was for the moment one of annoyance, her glowing green eyes crinkled:: Yes, Kendal Bach, I am one hundred percent sure of my ability to correctly configure the transcription device. The video of my triumph over Pyro Kitty and the succinct analysis of what method of attack guaranteed my victory will be sufficient proof of that. Your assistance is not required here, so your efforts would be of more important use in assisting Hericane.

          ::From outside the door and from the doorway of the training room entrance Heri could hear Kitty belt out:: That's IF you win Lady. Don't forget to watch the whole thing afterwards now if ya lose....

           ::Kendal and Heri laughed as Kendal resumed what Lady Hericane had previously started on the console as Hericane sat back down:: Okay Heri. We can start whenever you're ready. We need to find out how Wherlwynd makes you feel and what you think of her and her actions so we can you and us out as best as possible.

           ::Looking at Kendal as a student would a teacher, Heri just nodded:: Ok

           ::Sensing Heri's trepidation, she smiled warmly:: There's no rush on this, so take as long as you need to say what you feel or think as we watch all this stuff that we have on your double.

            ::Heri tried to smile back, feel grateful to Kendal for being so understanding. But all Heri could manage was a half sheepish smile, as the dread was building up in her. She knew she would have to force herself to look at Wherlwynd, something she feared doing the most::

          B: Completely Praetorian costume look. It's identical to Heri's look, just darker and meaner. I felt good when I pulled this off, and then I realized I messed up her look, A close look at her gloves, they're a lot easier to see on the opening picture of Wherl on the very first page, with Heri's pic on the left, and you can see her gloves are seamless color wise. Which doesn't match Heri since her fire burst pattern is white and interrupts the blue part from her arm. Wherl's fire burst is black and continues nicely from her black arm. Free Tailor token, anyone? lol

          Wherl's darker costume compared to Heri's is due to her Praetorian nature. Heri and Wherl are at the core the same being, they both hold their respective fathers in high regard, and so they strive to be what embodied their father and what made him so great in their worlds. In Heri's case, her father chased the Rikti to our world, and joined the fight to save Earth from the Rikti, and protect Paragon City as well. In Wherl's case, her father came to Praetorian Earth after chasing some escaping Rikti. Finding Praetorian Earth to be a place of value to him he stayed and became one of Tyrant's better soldiers.  Heri grew up learning of her father through her mother's good stories and memories, which when she found her powers she jsut knew she had to use them in the way her father did. Wherl learned of her father in the same manner, but at the admonishing of her mother not to follow her father, but a defiant Wherl used her newfound powers to do so, and joined the ranks of Tyrants army. Heri's usual manner is one of a simple girl trying to do what's right. For the most part she's usually a step behind everyone else regarding everything that's going on, but always means well, and tried to do what's right. Wherl contrasts this in a way of not being so naive, and more on the ball. She's more sadistic in the way she treats people and situations, the only thing that affects her is her own opinion of how well she's living up to her father's reputation. She's cocky and domineering when she feels in touch with that, but tends to be unsure of herself when she feels she's not living up to her father's abilities and reputation.  Heri in her naivety, is usually very modest and a basic happy go lucky girl. Wherl on the other hand can always be seen as confidant, with a swagger to what she does, more sensual. The Wherls in general push the limits on sensualness as far as the Hericanes are concerned. Since the Wherls are mirror images of themselves, it shocks them more to see the way the Wherlwynds act, but resemble themselves so much.
