Rocky let out a low whistle. "That can't be fun," he declared and punctuated his remark by taking another bite of his burger. "Came all the way from Church Falls, breif stint under the JAG. Airplane food was horrible," he explained away his lack of manners

Tori rolled her eyes. "Anyone still thinking Nathan's gay should be shot," she declared and sat, being a bit hard bitten forgetting not everyone was as observant as she was. "Anyways...I just turned invisible," she announced

The girl glanced at Nath, feeling his eyes on her and raised a brow but turned her attention away. She had a purpose. She approached 'Felix' and sat next to him

"Thanks Becca," taran said with a grin then blinked as the girlsat next to him. He turned, raising a brow. "Wow. Gutsy," he declared quietly

Lammy shrugged. "Not one to sit around on my throne and plot and brood," she declared softly then smiled brightly. "Howdy, my name's Edlam Scanlon, most folks just call me Lammy," hse greeted, mimicking Taran's Kansas twang easily and naturally

"Ah no worries," Tommy said.

Nath smilled, "Ah well' i'm sure Rex has got the hint, because i've sure missed Pammy the past few days, and my underbed storage space,"

Sora giggled, "the only think under Wood's is a pair of ice skates, a bar of chocolate, a red turbo ranger figure, and a photo of...," Sora looked to Tori and decided to trail off,

Nath giggled to,

Wood blushed a little but smilled none the less,

Fey looked at the girl oddly, her voodoo love vibes were going haywire, she moved away in a attempt to determine what they meant, she moved over to Wood and co. "Oh no, no no this one, " she said patting Tai's head, "definately loves his ladies."

Becca giggled

Tori flushed but cleared her thraot and poked the nearest guys. "Look, i just said I turned invisible and I don't mean I was ignored. I mean my body disappeared from site. Clothes and all," she said seriously

Taran raised his brows. "Edlam Scanlon... from Kansas?...is there something in particular you wanted?" he queried

"I was lookin for a feller by the name of Taran Goldsmith," she even produced a folded photo of him from his hometwon newspaper taken a few years back when he won the state football championships. "See, me and brother Griff, his full name's Griffin, were adopted awhile back, and ever since we turned eighteen we've been lookin' for any of our real family," she hld the picture up to her face. "Well, you see the resemblance..." she said, her eyes sparking

Sora's eyes narrowed in surprise, "say that again, you turned invisible," Sora looked thoughtful an odd look on Wood's face, he rubbed a finger along Wood's chin, " maybe the morphing grid isn't merely fluxating maybe the powers are changing too."

Autumn ears pricked, 'Edlam , what a bizarre name, it was at that point, that Autumn guilt tripped herself, she was named after a season,'

Rei wondered back through the doors, a large bag over her shoulder and shopping bags in her hands, she grinned widely particularly at Becca and Wood, allthough her eyes held a deep worry.

Autumn fetched Fey's fries and handed them over to her, having the money to put into the till off her.

"Yeah...invisible. I just kinda...didn't wanna be seen so I wasn't for a minute," she said and played with the cuff of Billie's sleeve. "Guess I'll probably have to mention it to Billie and Billy," she said with a sigh

"Yes, well, the Scanlons were a bit..odd..." Lammy explained with smile

Taran eyed Autumn oddly for a moment then shook his head. He reckoned she was automatic don't dwell mode

Lammy glanced up as Rei came in. She raised her brows. "Ah..." she smirked slightly kept an eye on her but turned her attention back to Taran

Taran decided to play along. She was up to something and the eager look she gave Rei was interesting to say the least

Sora nodded, "Definately, it's a tell Billy thing."

It finally seemed to have sunk in, Autumn eyed Lammy , "and how do you say your connected, to Taran again, who knows i might know him," It seemed Autumn had similar arsy quality as her brother after all it just took more tempting out,

Rei eyed the blonde girl, she smilled at her briefly and moved into the back to drop off her bags,

The girl had got Sora's interest to now, 'that way she'd just looked at Rei, it could be an odd thing knowing what he knew about Rei, he hadn't told the others he couldn't bring himself too, but Rei did seem oddly more confident , maybe she'd finally realised exactly who she was, ' Sora beat down the worry that there'd still be a place for him in that Rei's life.

Ifetayo smilled at Sora, she couldn't hear his thoughts but she could feel his feelings and the bond he obviously had with Rei.

Lammy smiled. She knew who the girl was...she did remind her an aweful lot of her brother. "Why, he's my big brother," she drawled, widening her eyes innocently, looking guiless, a look she pulled off quite well really

Taran quirked a brow but listened with a Felix like expression

"I think I'd better go get it over with," tori sighed. "Come and protect me from the big bad Billie?" she asked Wood hopefully. "Or least let me hide behind you?" she asked

Autumn petered off, her eyes watered a bit and she dawdled of to do something, the words big brother left a painful feeling in her chest, even if it had been the answer to her question, she wasn't dealing with any of this as well as she hoped.

"Yeah, i'll come protect you, or Sora will anyway," he laughed, he stood up and moved to the back room with her passing Rei,

Rei nodded to them as she moved back into the main part of the center, " Tori, Wood," she nodded curtly and quietly, she was so discret and natural, that Wood had alreay passed without giving it more thought.

Billy nodded to the two reds, he picked up the 3hd from where Tai and walked back through a porthole, that sealed behind him.

Tori paused and turned slightly "Did..." she shook her head and ducked into the back room and teleported to the CC and hid behind Wood as soon as he arrived

"Ive already seen what you've done to me. No bother hiding," Billie said droley, not bothingering to look up from her minitoring. A bit of fine tuning and Beez's brain would be ready to go. She just needed the download the current memory from Beez herself, which would be done after the brain was in place

"That thing is gross, you know. It shouldn't look like a real brain. And where is Billy? Er...we need to have a talk, the three of us," Tori stated. "I er...kinda turned invisible and I dunno if it was you or me..." she said
--

"I would say that wasn't wasn't very nice, but I don't suppose you'd care," Taran stated

Lammy pursed her lips. "It wasn't not nice," she stated then zeroed in on Rei again as she reappeared. She stood, merely shot Sora a warning glance as she appraoched her, daring him to interfere, dropping all country girl demeanor

Taran hadn't yet figured out the girl. Or the guy either for that matter. At the battle, they'd merely watched, though she had done something, but he'd been too distracted to pay attention to what. "Don't interfere, Sora. I don't think she wants to hurt anyone. That's not to say she wouldn't if she were provoked," he said quietly

Sora nodded, " all the more reason though i don't want her going near Rei-chan," He wasn't stupid though and had plenty of respect for Taran to do as he was told, he watched her however though, very ready for anything.

Wood pulled a face too, at the odd sites, he seemed a little grossed out, Wood looked round, Big Dr. Bill's been awful quiet the past couple of days,"

Rei looked to the girl again, she'd have to come asking if it was information she wanted.

Billy ran the handheld over Winter's chest especially his diaphragm, Billy sighed, "nothing," he muttered Billy had kept it quiet about being a fully qualified Doctor, only a fewhad stumbled upon it, he thanked god for it right now, he could just not get Winters lungs to work again, any normal hospital would have proclaimed him dead. He realised ventilator or no ventilator he was going to have to let the others know he was here aventually.

"Him and Beez are both up to something. He's evidentally instructed her with no loopholes not to tell me anything. And what do you mean you turned invisible. No. Don't bother going through it twice. We'll wait for him to get back," Billie stated and finished the brain. "Ah. All done. Now we just need--"

"Beez's body's done," felix announced, sounded quite pleased and excited as he entered the mainroom of the CC, a smear of grease on Rex's face

Billie smirked. "Her body," she finished her sentence. "You two wait around for Billy if you want," she said, invisibility taking a back seat as she and Felix disappeared into the work to install Beez's brain

"they're absolutely scary sometimes," Tori declared

"Yeah...understatement of the century there..." Tai stated and grinned at Ryla and Teleported them back to the YC
--

Lammy smiled pleasantly at Rei. "Let's you and me have a girl to girl," she said in a deceptively cheery tone

okay, totally lost. but not to pull a cate or riotxgrl, I'ma justy jump back in lol

--

Ryla and tai had teleported abc kt othe back room, and after pecking him on the lips gratefully, she emerged, holding ehr hand gently with the other, "All cleaned up ... sorry for the spill Autumn."

She eyed 'Becca' standing behind the counter, shrugged and mvoed to whre her seat was, which was now occupied by some very, whiteblonde girl. She shrugged agaiun, sdeciding any interst may aggrivate her, and she simply sat down in a random seat, holding her hand, nodding to the others, "So ... anything ineeresting while I was indisposed?"

"Many things I'd imagine ..." Arinaa nodded thoughfully, though didn't elaborate in a very matter - of - fact way.

Charlie had winked at ROcky one last time before pulling out a cellphone with a dark violet face plate. She hit a fast dial button and put it to hr ear, eyeing the Marine, before someone pi9cked up on the other end, "Hello, is cadet Daniel Edison available to be spoken to. Thank you ..." she paused, before smiling, "Hey Danny ..."

Charlie began walking towards the door, before looking abck one last time, grinning, "Yea chico, I need you to do me a favor ... can you get me all the specs on a new transfer to the base? The name would be Rocky ... yes I know it's a nickname, but all them have them ... COme on Danny, you love me right?" she grinned before heading out the door, "I knew I could count on you ..."

--

Kim slid her arms around Tommy as he sat back down and grinned, "SO ... what are the boys talking about?" she'd seen the gril Roky had been tlaking to briefly, and she was young .. but she was cute ... if anything, Kim'd find him a dat by the end of the week ...

Adam had noticed too, and had watched the girl exit, cell phone in hand, "oooh ... now there's a hot mama get you 20 to life ..."

Tai followed her out and raised a brow, noticing Taran had returned, but was quiet

Becca decided to answer her. "Becca fixed the coffee maker...Billie came by...said she'd done something strange and that blond girl there is causing quiet a stir," she said, nodding toward Lammy and Rei

Taran kept an eye on Lammy and Rei while enjoying his coffee. But he also reconed he oughtta go check on Autumn. Sighing, he decided to do just that. "Keep an eye on 'em, Sora," he said quietly and walked off to find Autumn
--

Rocky avoided the subject of the girl. "We were talking about these new kids," Rocky said around another bite of burger

Ryla nodded to Becca and sighed a bit, "Meh ... I've had my excitement for the day ... I offically don't carte anymore today ..."

Ariana laughed a bit, I bleive that is in your best interest Ryla ..."

--

Kim wave da hand and grinned, oh! You hav to remember my little cousin Rex ... you knwo ,the one you and Adam used to use to pick up girls ..." she clapped her hands, before leaning in and whispering, "He's the black ..." she nodded and grinned.

Adam nodded in agreement, "it's weird ... he's grown big now ... looks nothing like our Kimmy ..."

Tai chuckled. "I think I have some coarse work to do," he sent Taran's sheepish smile toward Zoe. "I'll see you later. Alla ya'll," he quickly amended. He gave Ryla's hand a covert squeeze and wandered out

"Yeah, long day," Becca agreed with a sigh

"Really? Little Rexy who attratcted the ladies like flies to honey?" Rocky asked, raising a brow. "Awesome," he declared and took another bite of his burger

Ryla smiled and waved him off before sighing, "I cna't wait to be back to mornal ... that boy needs a good smothering by me ..."

Ariana simply laughed naively and nodded, smiling.

--

Kim nodde,d ?"OH and be sure to mention that to him as much as possible .. he just loves to reminice," she laughed before smiling, "And the red's are really great too ... tjhey're dating ..." she shook her head, squeezing Tommy's hand then eyeing Adam, "Looks like we don't go out of our cirlce," but she said it in a joking manner.

in other words...since he really doesn't have anywhere else to go, Tai's waiting for Ryla at Ariana's current residence...and i guess we can start over or something with a new day/week or whatever, it was kinda aftermath day I reckon...Squizz says Autumn's birthday (late Nov.) is coming up, so we can do that...or wait til she gets her body back...whatever works for me

Rocky merely shook his head and finished off his burger and smoothie. "So, take me to my new home, Froggy," he said to Adam

well, since IU'm going to bed, *huggles Ravie* could you maybe? ... I'll be on tommorrow I promises ... and now we can finally do something wif the vilet coin ... the fakeness, generating a new one .. .charlie and all that ... Ai go bye bye ... hehe ... to update Squizz, we have finally squeezed Amy's farewell ... she's been batinging it so it's just aisier than waiting for her to give in ...

--

Adma shook his head and sighed, standing up, "COme on Ape boy," he grinned, "oh sorry ... sergent Ape boy. Let's get you settled in ..."

, okies...whatever Rei decided to tell Lammy is fine with me, Squizz

Later that night...Beez's metallic body is shut down while electrodes connect her cpu to the brain of her new body and downlaod begins. thise process will take several days, so Nurse Beez is out of commission until then. No one but the blues have seen her body, which at the at this point is a colorless female with no hair or anything. The idea is to allow Beez to choose her own features when she wakens. She wears a white bodysuit with light periwinke stripes and a skirty thing very similar to that of the first Pink Ranger.

Some days later...

Beez opened her eyes and blinked. Several times. "Assessing system status," she reported in a voice very much not like her own. It was...real. She could even feel cords vibrating...Intriguing. Intriguing that she found that intriguing. Even her thought processes were different, it seemed. She was assessing her own systems, but more or less in the back of her mind while she was marvveling at her voice.

She reached up and detarched herself from her old body. Her fingers were so delicate and nimble. She flexed them experimentally and eyed them. They were white, unnaturally so. Autimatically she accessed the programming that would allow her to...Ah there...her skin took on a pale peachy color much Similar to Billie's. She hoped Billie wouldn't mind.

She...hoped....? She blinked and gasped...she did! She genuinely hoped Billie would not mind. "Amazing," she breathed and was amzed again at the simulation of breathing. Felix was a genius! They both were! She even had a heartbeat and when she touched it her synthetic skin was soft. She touched her lips aas she closed her head, feeling the skin cover the seem. Ah, hair. She needed hair.

But what should she look like. In the still of the morning, when no one was around yet, Beez walked from the workshop into the main CC...ah, she knew it. Tori had left one of her fashion magazines laying about. She retreived it and began to flip through the pages until she'd compiled a look from various models.

When next someone came to the CC, they wouldn't see their metallic silver and white, large eyed and mouthless Beta Z. But a young woman with dark brown, almond shaped eyes, freckles across her nose, and dark brown hair, wavy falling past her shoulders with an actually pretty good figure.
