He wouldn't be chasing you for long once he saw the food, Lumina. You're just the bait not the main meal. [All of this is said in a tone that clearly says "duh."]

Most birds eat seeds and sometimes little plants or fruit. They also eat worms though. [Which...is kind of like eating guts? Maybe?] We could probably figure out a good way to cover what it actually needs to eat. Do you even know where the Roc's currently at?

Yooooou could say I have an inkling.

[She turns the locket around, revealing the rock flying around far up in the sky. Now that the locket is turned towards him, a screech of pain can be heard.]

[. . .

....yeeeeeeah he's just going to pick up his locket and stare at her.]

And you were worried about him chasing you? Have you been standing under him the whole time? [He's squinting to try and get a better look at the Roc though.] Okay. Next question. How much time do you have before the materials go bad, do you know?

No, I've just been coming by every few hours to check and make sure he hasn't died or anything. That would make this much harder to pull off!

Clarke's keeping them at the station for me, they'll be good for a few days at least.

[From this distance, it's hard to tell anything about the Roc, sadly.]

That means we have enough time to set up a trap at least. I still think you've just gotta make it as appealing as possible. Birds nest, don't they? Maybe you just need to build a nest for it with the food in it or something.

[Unfortunately, while Hiro knows and understands biology he doesn't know a whole lot about birds.] How often does he land? ["Has he landed yet?"]

[chaoticwhimsy]

...I haven't seen him land. [She frowns because that was weird, right?] Maybe he's worried whatever attacked him will attack again if he lands.

[And then a pause, and she smirks.]

So you think that if we build a nest, he'll be more likely to show up? I mean, I thought he was...smarter than that?

I'd be worried about that, too, if I were him. [A pause...and then he shrugs.] He might be smart but a bird brain is still a bird brain. Especially if he thought the nest would protect him from whatever attacked him the first time.

Okay, so some kind of nest at the shrine. I think I can wing that.

Buuuuut, see, I still think we need some kind of backup plan. In case he ignores the food completely for whatever reason.

[She taps her finger against her chin.]

Maybe like a really really big needle or something.

You mean like a tranquilizer to bring him down? [That's not a bad idea.] Where're you going to find a huge needle though on short notice? I mean we could maybe make something. Maybe Clarke has an idea of what sort of potion or treatment we can use to make him drowsy.
