As Jamie and Reggie sat in the room, cups of coffee steaming in the simulated afternoon light streaming in from the holo display on the wall, the conversation lulling gently from idle chat to Reggie telling stories to a rapt Jamie, there was a soft voice that rung through their communicators.

“Good Afternoon, would it be okay if I enter?”.

Jamie tensed slightly at the sound and stood to face the door, his guard still high to new people. Reggie just smiled and replied “Please come in Dorian, mind your head on the low ceiling”.

As the door opened Jamie looked at the entrance, taught like a bowstring, but trying not to show it. Then the Dracorlix walked through the door, to Jamie's eyes looking like a gigantic, draconcic robot, causing his eyes to flick from the huge dragon like being to Reggie and back. Reggie calmly placing a hand on his shoulder, reassuring him.

“Please sit down Dorian, I'd like to introduce you to Jamie, the hero of the hour” said Reggie with a flourish and a smile, gesturing at the chairs and then to Jamie.

“Crud. I'd heard you were a specimen, but I'd never dreamed this was possible” said Dorian, walking slowly to one of the chairs at the table and taking a seat. “I thought Reggie was something to behold but you are a literal biological marvel!” he gushed, looking Jamie up and down, clearly at a loss as to what to say or do in that moment.

“Uh… Dorian… Didn't you have some things you wanted to talk to Jamie about? I know he has questions too” said Reggie, with what sounded a bit like a sullen tone.

“Sorry friend, you're not jealous are you?” teased Dorian “You know I value your mind as well as your resilience. But yes, of course, ask away bud” he said a slow rhythm to his words, while appearing to take a long toke on a pipe-like apparatus.

“What are Dracorlix? Why does the parasite like Sarlans?” said Jamie, a wrinkle forming on his brow as he sat on a chair opposite the visitor, his mannerisms still cagey.
