Anyone Seen A Snake?

Title says it all. Lost a snake. Probably not in Micro C, I think it mighta slunk out through an air vent. It's not that big but you'd know it if you saw it. Also probably not venomous. Let me know if you spot her.

 

What do you mean "probably not venomous"?

 

I mean it's probably not venomous. I didn't get a chance to check before she escaped. Tricky little thing.

 

....Well I can't guarantee it'll be alive if I find it.

 

Definitely try not to kill it. It's a test specimen. If it's venomous and we get to you before you die you'll probably be OK.

 

Still not going to guarantee anything.

And I'll be staying out of this.

 

What does the snake look like? Im starting to panic...
I detest snakes

 

It looks like a snake. Seriously? You know what a snake looks like.

 

yeah well, i know what snakes can look like, but if you could provide some intel on the colorscheme and/or size, we know what kind of danger we're potentially in...
as a rule of thumb; the brighter colored snakes are more venomous than the more camouflaged species, also bigger snakes are usually not venomous either.

right now im praying its a pretty big snake, with a very plain colorscheme... though i expect the exact opposite of it

 

Well, she's a hybrid. So all rules of thumb are out the window. Sorta big, I'd say about the length of my arm? She's all black. Answers to 'Mary'. She's a snake but she's highly intelligent.

 

sounds like a venomous snake to me...
an arms length is usually very small for a snake.

 

I'm not used to working with snakes, as you might have noticed. So arms length seems big to me.

 

lets just hope im wrong on this one, but in this case its better to 'err' on the side of caution

 

@Operator is it possible to lower the temperature at HQ 'a bit'? lets say to about 4-5 degrees Celsius (about 40 Fahrenheit)?
since snakes are coldblooded, the dropping in temperature might induce 'Mary' to go into hybernation
(or else go to a place where its warmer....)

 

I've recovered the snake.

Whoever taught her to swear, you are a monumental jerk.

 

okay, this is going to need some extra explaining;
i understand mary is an incredibly smart snake, but as far as my knowledge of snake anatomy goes, they dont have vocal chords
or even the long capacity to reproduce sounds that are recognizible human language...
and even if it was, her tongue and lips definitly shouldnt be able of mimicking human speech
also... ive been told snakes were supposed to be deaf?

my point being; are you sure she is 'just' a snake hybrid?

 

Mary can write. She's a snake hybrid, designed from the genome up for intelligence. She has the mind of a four year old, give or take.

 

Ohhhhh Im so sorry.
It got the drop on me then backed me into a corner so I started swearing and opening fire.
Unexpected consequences?

 

oh thank god, about the writingpart
i was really starting to get worried over here

 

Well seems thing have been resolved. Sorry I didn't respond sooner, had to cut my connection for a bit.
