Jack’s efforts to reveal who Rhys is have ended in failure, then there was the “accidental” death of professor Nakayama along with other accounts involving the intern. Apparently Rhys has now taken over the lab as well as projects of the late scientist causing suspicion form the CEO to intensify. The last straw was a breach in the system as it was hacked to spy on him. (unknowing that it was gecko doing it all to keep Rhys safe)
Taking action Jack stormed into the intern’s personal lab with the violent intent to interrogate and (very likely) kill him, to make matters worse for Rhys the symbiote breaks free and attaches itself to Jack fueling his desire to get to Rhys with its own. The poor intern barely walks in to witness this before reacting and running for dear life…. long (and amusing) chase scene ensues through Helios…
Rhys is alone in this as he chose a bad time to find the cure to help his Jack pets and now they are in some treatment chambers and cant get out till its done.
(I’m glad you love it) in terms of their own personalities? yes and no
in all created pet incarnations that Rhys has made of Jack they start out as standard behavior as the original, but quickly over time each individual has ether one or more traits that makes them stand out. some varying in extremes….
(Note, that they don’t have names as Rhys fears that he will get too attached to them before they can be saved….)
Rabbit:
Well his personality revolves around wanting to be spoiled by Rhys the most, enough so that he easily becomes jealous and possessive in a blunt manner. His view of the other two pets often switches from siblings to rivals and vice versa (same with the others).
Mouse:
Similar to the rabbit he somewhat craves the attention of his creator just calmer and better at thinking before acting, actually the tiny fluff ball is mischievously the deceiver of the group causing some instigation at the other two pets.
Gecko:
THIS mother-… ahem this incarnation is definitely the worst at obtaining extreme traits from Jack. The lizard is programmer Jack smart and just as willing to go through drastic measures to get his way, but his wants are simple… silently watch and keep things the way they are, tho he might be the reason Nakayama is dead…
Symbiote Jack has seemingly a few of the originals traits, tho Rhys has him contained in an empty enclosure with nothing to interact with
(aside from testing)
so its hard to say how much like Jack it really is.
The symbiote has a strange fixation towards the intern as it seems to disregard the presence of Rhys’s Jack pets, or maybe it has no clue what to make of them due to the creature being blind.
Well blind in the sense of human eyes, it has no vision organs but sees in a form of hyper echo location, meaning it only sees shapes. Its fluid like body capture sounds and vibrations that bounce off things to make a mental picture of the surrounding area, its good living on a space station gives a constant flow of vibrations. That will come in handy if this Jack manages to break out…
its was meant be a tale of “I didn’t know you were sexy” as Rhys, who hides his face behind a mask, becomes Nakayama’s intern which is shocking to every one. (but I’m not so sure now)
While Rhys has an agreement that “Jack belongs to the prof.” the intern does believes he can’t obtain his crush. So he creates pet partners that have been mixed with the CEO’s DNA to fill the void… unfortunately they have very short lives, as much as Rhys tries all his creations die due to being unstable
well all except one
Symbiote Jack, the intern has no idea why he made this Jack but it has lived longer than the others thus Rhys is studying him in order to help his current friends.
Meanwhile the CEO becomes “interested”(more like paranoid) with Nakayamas apprentice as Rhys’s has his mask on in pretty much all of his file pictures and starts to investigate him in the most (amusingly) uncomfortable way possible.
It only gets worse when the professor dies by accident and Rhys kinda gets the blame.
