So how you doing Dario?

“I had an offer, I took it, however if I go to work, I have to wear…” He takes out an all silver helmet. “This thing. Shimura doesn’t want me showing my face, until after I finish with the new dinos, and I’m perfectly okay with that, especially with my… history.” He isn’t too fond of this, but it’s better than imprisonment.

3 months after being approached by Shimura…

Dario decided to take Shimura’s offer to assist him, mostly to just do something other than rot in a cell. Sure he had to trade in his cuffs for a bomb implanted in his skull, but he understood that it was a necessity. Still Dario knew to remain in line, thus his success with assisting Shimura with the dino army he was building. He presented the idea of raptors, thus leaving the Giga on the backburner in exchange for more effective troops, however the artifical raptors had a few bugs still, but the prototype was successful, especially since Dario was using more of his DNA to help keep them stablized. In short, everything was better than he expected. Despite the bomb in his skull, he certainly was using his skills for something worthwhile. He just hoped that he’ll never be in the field.

A few days ago…

How did things end up like this? A year ago Dario had been living the good life as a mob boss, now he was taken out of his cell and escorted by two spw workers and a masked man in blue and white  to plane that flew to a facility near Lake Erie. He still didn’t get why he was even at this place. However as he entered a office and was uncuffed by the workers, his confusion only grew, before seeing a one eyed, old, silver haired man sitting standing at the end of the room. 

“Gentlemen, Wonder. Leave us.” The man orders, causing the other men to leave the room, except for Dario. 

The reptilian Brando recognized someone who commander authority as much as he can recognize an opportunity, so this had to be the man those three mentioned, Oroku Shimura.“You’re Mr Shimura, right?”

Shimura chuckles. “The one and only.” He fixes his tie before sitting at his desk. “Now then, Mr Brando… you must wondering why I called you here.”

“Yes.” Dario answers almost immediately. “Aren’t I the prisoner of your organization?”

“True, but your blood has done wonders for my operations.”

“Operations?” Now even more questions run through Dario’s mind. “What operations?”

Shimura then pulls out a file and places it on his desk. The man then opens it up and reveals photos of eggs and what appears to be a dinosaur. “These operations.”

Dario immediately picks up one of the pictures and looks at them. “Are these-?”

“Dinosaurs. Created from the fossilized remains and your unique reptilian DNA. Some of them haven’t hatched yet, only one did, a giganotosaurus.” 

The reptilian Brando then stops looking at the photos and stares at Shimura. “A Giganotosaurus.”

“It’s something that will be helpful in the long run.” Shimura then pulls out a cigar. “I tasked some of my own workers to build a containment facility in Maine, one where these animals can remain, without interrupting the peace.”

“So you want to build a jurassic park?”

“You misunderstand me, Mr Brando.” Shimura lights his cigar. “I don’t want theme park attractions… I want hunting dogs that can assist us in dealing with people that are out to harm the innocent… like your brother.”

“That bastard is not my brother.”

“Then please… help me put a dent in his operations. That will make his blood boil a good amount and once our business is done, you get to live with the knowledge that you managed to spite your brother without him turning you into a punching bag.” The old man puffs out smoke from his cigar and faces Dario with his hand extended towards him. “Do we have a deal?”

Dario knows that this guy is just going to use him, but at this point the thought of spiting Darius without the fear of being ripped apart seemed like an accomplishment. Then without hesitation, the blonde reptile shakes the old mans hand. “Deal.”

“Good. Now let’s get you back to your cell, until I need you.”

“A few floors up hopefully. I’ll give him a call to let him know you’re coming.”

Shimura sees Uni and approaches her. ”So you’re the one I keep hearing about.” - Director Oroku Shimura (ask-dario-brando-ii)

Uni tilts their head at them. She'd never seen them before? Wait, maybe they're talking to somebody else...

Uni looks around before pointing at themselves with a head tilt.

“Yes. It does involve hand signals.”

Another knock. Dario hears yet another knock on his cell door. The reptilian Brando just thinks it’s food or something, the same routine. However, the sound of his cell door being unlocked made him realize that something was different. At the door, he sees 3 SPW workers and a masked man in blue. “What the hell is going on here?”

The masked man moves in front of the workers and makes some hand signs. The signs read, ‘Dario Brando The Second… Oroku Shimura wants to see you.’ 

[ask-dario-brando-ii]

“Alright Brando. Wake the hell up.”

Dario groans as he gets up. “What the hell do you want.”

“Someone wants to talk with you.”

“Oh joy… another ass ready to mock me.”

[ask-dario-brando-ii]

Dario would suddenly feel the skin he received from Arturo break apart and turn to dust, it seems his brother was defeated

“Well…” Dario watches as he looses his ability to shift into a normal appearance. “I guess things didn’t end well.”

[ask-dario-brando-ii]

“Brando! Time for water.” A guard sticks his arm through the cell door.  Dario is reluctant, but he goes to grab the water anyway, however before he could get it, he feels something pierce his hand quickly. “The bloody hell?!” He then pulls his hand back and notices that the wound looked like it came from a needle. “You know what… I’ll have it later.” He says, obviously pissed off.

How are your snakes gonna work if there’s no sun? Reptiles need to be warm

I’m in a literal cell with a heater. I’m safe in here.”

[ask-dario-brando-ii]

You still make snakes?

“Yes.” Dario vomits one out. “I never stopped.”
