~Many Years Ago~
~Somewhere far beneath the Lightning Farm~

Cold, metal walls, the gentle hum of machinery, and the damp underground air have always been so familiar to Meltdown, but today, she paces, concerned, nervous, anxious, excited. Her talons click and tap against the metal floor, and her piercing arcane eyes flick to the door as it slides open. Her lovely mate and years-long scientific partner, Reactor, enters, a grim growl threatening to escape, the ever-so-common light of knowledge in his eyes no longer alive, killed by some new revelation. Meltdown approaches, concerned. "What happened?" she asks, "Do they not want to fund us?" her voice filled with hints of worry.

Reactor presses their heads close, rubbing his head fins gently against hers. "It's worse," he sighs, "they want to shut us down completely."

Meltdown jerks, frightened. "Why?"

"They're worried about ethics. The effects it would have on other dragons." Reactor grumbles, slowly laying down to settle on the floor next to his mate. Meltdown does the same. "Ethics? But there are all sorts of robotic dragons and cyborgs out there already," she complains with a sigh. "None like ours," Reactor replies, "all of those projects rely on their own source of power. A battery. The dragon's own blood. Natural magic. Ours, though... they said that a robot drawing power from other dragons is a no go."

"We are not drawing blood or magic from other dragons, though. We're using their own neural signals. It won't kill them or drain their power if we perfect it." Meltdown counters. Reactor shrugs, "I know, but I can't do anything. We could probably continue small-scale experiments without funding from the Lightning Farm, but they want to shut the entire experiment down before it begins."

"Then let's separate from them." Meltdown declares.
"What?" Reactor replies, genuinely surprised by the proposal.
"We don't need the Lightning Farm. We can quit working for them. We can make our own power and continue the experiment ourselves." Meltdown nuzzles close as she speaks, tapping her claws to the metal.
Reactor swallows lightly, "You mean... we actually build that nuclear reactor I told you about?"
Meltdown nods.
Reactor's light golden eyes turn to the floor, thinking. The faint glint of life begins to return.
"We'll need a new lair. We'll need dragons to test this on, we'll need a place for the experiment and a place for us to stay. We can do it."

Meltdown smiles, standing and outstretching her claws. "Let's go."

~Modern Day~
~Somewhere far beneath Experiment 000-001~

Meltdown enters her dear mate's study, smiling gently upon seeing Reactor recording and copying information busily. "Hello, dear." she greets. He looks up with those loving, light-filled eyes, setting his work aside, and striding over to his dear Meltdown. "Hey." he purrs, gently tapping her snout with his.

"I understand you introduced 1-C and 1-D to the experiment today?" Meltdown asks curiously as she rubs head fins with him. He nods, giving a small chuckle, "They have real names, you know. Awaken and Slumber." To this, Meltdown rolls her eyes in a playful manner. "Cute, they match. Just like us. Do you intend for them to be mates?" she asks. Reactor nods in response, "They will be, yes. I'm very confident that we're making progress with them, it seems that they have a weaker effect on the other dragons than Cyon and Andromeda--" "1-A and 1-B, you mean?" Meltdown interjects teasingly. This was Reactor's turn to give a playful eyeroll, "You can call them that, but I gave them real names, anyway, yes, the most recent two seem to have a weaker effect than the first two. We're getting there," Reactor pauses, then asks "By the way, is the reactor still running smoothly?"

Meltdown just tilts her head at him, curious. "Yes, everything is working as well as ever. Is something wrong?" Reactor shakes his head and shifts closer to her, rubbing their wings together, "I got a report earlier today that the forcefield fizzled for a few seconds, outside of a normal operation. Luckily none of the subjects noticed or escaped."

"Hm. I'll look into it. We can't have any of them escape." Meltdown huffs, nuzzling close. Reactor nods, "None of them know what's really going on, sure, but if any news of this gets back to the Lightning Farm, I'm sure we're going to have a hell of a time trying to explain it. They might kill us."

Meltdown shudders at this. She presses her snout against Reactor's, closing her eyes. "No one will ever know what's happening here except for us."
