[text] Thursday, Week 17

[Open]

Unfortunately, I'm unable to assist at the hospital or with any projects on the ship until further notice. I'd like to discourage anyone from visiting my house, as well. I've been showing symptoms of the disease spread by the bandits. But I'm not staying at the hospital, as they need the room for those in worse condition.

In less horrible news, we've successfully predicted the opening of a pod. But our prediction rate is not 100% accurate. Two pods opened simultaneously, and we were only able to predict one.


[Locked to the Avengers, including Wasp]

I hope you're all well, at least. If you are, Dr. McCoy insists that someone checks up on me, or directs him to my house if they can't. [He's not super-happy about this part. Or any of it, really.]

How bad? On a scale of one to "apparently, they have ebola with their dinosaurs".

[text, private]

[tiptoeing]

Apparently, they have a currently unidentified bacterial infection with their dinosaurs that's already killed a few people and is spreading, though we're not entirely sure how yet.

[nodavinci]

Yeah. I heard about the body count.

Which doesn't actually answer my question, which is how badly off are you?

[tiptoeing]

You didn't specify that in your question.

But I'm not as badly off as some people are, which is why Dr. McCoy is allowing me to stay at home. Until it gets worse, anyway.

[nodavinci]

Which doesn't make the dodge any less impressive.

I didn't know you could actually get sick. What do you need? I can bring a few things by.

[tiptoeing]

I've had a fair amount of practice in the art of question dodging, considering.

I didn't know I could get sick either, to be honest. Professor Lyall has already offered to bring food and books, since he's immune. I don't want you to catch it if you aren't.

[nodavinci]

Considering I was at the hospital long enough to get shot at, I think that ship's already sailed.

[tiptoeing]

You were there during the raid too? Somehow, I'm not surprised. I hope you managed to avoid those bullets.

[nodavinci]

You know me. I just have to be in on the party.

[That non-answer should be answer enough.]

[tiptoeing]

Speaking of impressive dodges...

Did you at least get yourself patched up?

[nodavinci]

Dodging the bullet would have been impressive.

Yeah. It was just a graze, but they apparently take that seriously here. Weird, right?

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce is just facepalming over here, Tony.]

I don't blame them.

If you really want to come over, I have a project you could help me with. [Because resting is boring.]

[nodavinci]

[Look, he was trying to help people, okay?]

You just said the magic words. What's the project?

[tiptoeing]

[Bruce understands, Tony. Doesn't make him facepalm any less.]

Have you met Wing and Drift?

[nodavinci]

Technically, I've only met Wing. They both tend to stand out in a crowd, though.

[tiptoeing]

Well, they need help creating more of their own energy source, which is a substance called "Energon". Drift brought me a small sample.

[nodavinci]

How volatile is it?

[tiptoeing]

I'm not sure, honestly. It's not like any substance I've ever seen before.

[nodavinci]

Can't say I'm surprised. They're pretty out of this world.

What equipment do you need to supplement your lab space? I'll see what I can dig up before I head over.
