almost complete absence of requested expert input despite there being some available

[darkart]

It's absurd. I genuinely think this nanotechwhatsit should be eradicated from existence due to its singular function apparently being 'evil', and I'm less ignorantly paranoid.

[forgodssake]

at least they're consistent

I did have one other scientist contact me
privately, so as best to escape unwanted scrutiny

I don't see why anyone thinks we're the ones to bloody well worry about

[darkart]

You'd think having anyone around to notice this nonsense would be preferred.

Was it Dr Gallo?

[forgodssake]

it was Dr Gallo
she was very accommodating
and also implied she's of your camp too

[ Magic, that is. ]

[darkart]

We've met.

[ So that's a yes. ]

Some of the idiots in flight crew should be able to at least figure out what buttons do, most of them are from technologically advanced civilizations.

[forgodssake]

I'm sure there are some engineering chappies with time of their hands too
lovely as it would be for people to volunteer their assistance of their own volition

I do think I'm getting somewhere with my muddling through, that said
and Ms Stacy worked for an organisation that was rather ahead of its time technologically, apparently

[darkart]

She's competent.

Should be fine, ultimately. These things are made to be used, I'm sure they'll learn-able even without a detailed manual.

[forgodssake]

I think so as well

relatedly
level one's not undergone any changes that I can see but I can't be certain
the R&D level's underwent a minor renovation in the unsettling form of rooms designed for containment, and some gurneys with blood stains
so poking around those and running some tests will be my afternoon

I opted not to mention that in my posting

[darkart]

Fantastic. Better run a full process of the whole area with Medical, then, too.

We all know what it is. Manticores.

[forgodssake]

everyone's favourite

and yes of course
I'll hook them in once I've satisfied some curiousity
and before you have any inclination to Tyke me: yes I'll be careful

[darkart]

Bloody hell, Charles.

[forgodssake]

what
it's a joke
if I were my department head I'd tell me to be careful too

[darkart]

You're right. I shall get you a SEC escort. I'm ringing them right now.

[forgodssake]

god
I'd expire from embarrassment

[darkart]

I won't tell anyone your weakness.

Containment chambers can be used for other, less terrible things. I could have used a proper base to work from with Corvo.

[forgodssake]

fair point

superhuman ability testing also springs to mind
Petrelli the junior's radiation powers
we used an underground bunker to accommodate Alex Summers, back home

[darkart]

Is that how he hit his head?

[forgodssake]

Severus

[darkart]

Underground bunker, yes, for the blitzkrieg if memory serves, or is there something else they're for?

[forgodssake]

more specifically
my stepfather had some notions about the inevitability of nuclear war and had one built under our house
a little bigger than the standard air-raid shelter

[darkart]

Well so long as it's been productive.

1/2.

[forgodssake]

it worked out fantastically thanks

the only student who might have suffered head injury would be Sean Cassidy, I'll have you know
he fell out a window when we were testing something
astonishingly suffered no injury when Erik pushed him off a satellite
experiment successful

2/2.

[forgodssake]

[ Except maybe he shouldn't be wasting Severus' time with talk about a subject that is dustier than he remembers, unsettling in how quickly he relaxes into talking about it. The next text is set quick on the back of the last, self-conscious; ]

I think I'm procrastinating

[darkart]

You're definitely procrastinating.
