[QUOTE="Ice the frosty cat, post: 32899, member: 115"] Ice glanced around the testing center. It was essentially a large armoured hall which held a number of cool inventions. There was a machine that created slime like creatures which were mostly used for Xeagle soldiers who were training. Speaking of which, the Xraptors were kept here. There was a pen round the back for them to run around in so that they didn’t go mad and attempt to escape… it didn’t always work though. He could remember numerous times that a Xraptor had to be put down due to it going insane. Xeagle soldiers rode these for battle, but the scientists who worked here were working on a robot which acted as a suit of armour and was much better built for attack. It was unlikely that they’d ever need these…as the Xeagles were peaceful. But now Ice reckoned that it would be the sort of thing they fought Xelli with… Under request, Xargle had built a virtual boarding track for him to train in without having to leave Xeaglis. Ice had used it very often He knew Xargle was hiding a lot of top secret stuff from him. He’d only scraped the surface of what was hidden in this building. Xargle directed him to a pad next to a wall with a super computer on either side of it, the monitor being a hologram. Ice had seen this before but Xargle wouldn’t tell him what it was for.
