Aulus would be greeted with a very happy, bouncy, Pakhet trying to leap, or even climb, up his legs and then pausing with a very confused head-tilt. What the heck was...? He had grown a very bizarre smelling arm! Exciting! She wagged her tail and tried to stand on her hindlegs to get a better look and scent from the new arm.
Franklin was more subtle in her excitement, but her eyes still lit up with interest. <> She remembered humans liked being complimented, especially regarding looks, on occasion.
Palu was out but quiet. Apparently the bird had become able to sleep through the Growlithe's noise.
Tambrey was, indeed, in the room, sat at her desk with her back to the door... and her lack of response soon became apparent; she had headphones over her ears, and a pencil was scribbling at a notebook that was absolutely full of of strings of letters, numbers, symbols, and strange shorthand. She was clad in a blue sleeveless top, black three-quarter length trousers, and her hair was pinned up to keep it out of her face while she worked. Her glasses had slipped down her nose slightly- something that tended to happen when she'd been working for a long time- and the end of her pencil had clearly been chewed on.
One bare foot tapped out a beat, more in a reflex of frustration than any music she was listening to; the sound was up loud enough that Aulus could likely hear that it wasn't music. It was probably inaudible as to the subject matter, but it was clearly a voice droning on about something.

Oh phew, she was busy not ignoring him. Aulus relaxed a fraction and knelt down to let Pakhet investigate the metal arm - his arm - as much as she liked. He didn't move to scratch her with it though, he was still feeling very cautious about the power he knew the titanium fingers held. If he squeezed and meant it he could break somebody's arm with plenty of PSI to spare, now was that cool or terrifying or both?
"Thanks Franklin," he replied with a smile, "it's pretty amazing, Agent Faleen made it for me. It's got a touch screen." That was definitely in the 'cool' category, a powerful little computer built right into him!...
What was Tam listening to and what was she working on? Work stuff, he guessed, and he understood even less of the fine detail of Tam's work than he did of Alex's.
Aulus got to his feet and moved a little closer to his partner before clearing his throat noisily. "Hey!" he said loudly. "You didn't hear me, so I came in because I'm an arse. Wha'cho working on?"

Tambrey pushed her glasses up and brought her face in to have a closer look. It was amazing technology... She used technology, of course, in work, in every day life, but tech was not one of her strongest sections of knowledge... This 'biotech', however... The melding of machine to biological functions... There were certain aspects of such a thing that she couldn't help but understand, and the revelation that technology could marry with flesh was, of course, also a sci-fi staple... As a self-proclaimed geek, she couldn't help but think of such things.
She reached out her right hand to give the metal a soft poke, and then to give the hand a gentle squeeze, to see if Aulus could feel it. "The sensors can... um.. feel that?" She looked toward the processing area. Then he pointed out the screen... and then mentioned 'claws'. "C-claws?" Her eyes lit up with a grin flittering on her mouth. "Like Wolverine claws?"

Tambrey's grin widened as she received a gentle squeeze back; it was amazing that Aulus had felt that, and had been able to return the gesture in such a way, controlling it to produce such an appropriately subtle response.
"Oh! Like Sabretooth?" Apparently it was still cool. "Yes, probably..." Tambrey agreed, thinking to herself how Aulus could almost certainly put more force behind a punch to put claws through something, but fingertips were, at least, good for detail.
"Hm... Well. I suppose you just think exactly that." The scientist ventured, eyes alight with the idea of it "Like... You'll be creating whole new neural connections in your brain... Telling your, um, body to do stuff that other people just can't do because... well, we don't have claws." It was very exciting.
<> Franklin chimed in helpfully.
