outer_divide | [video] Friday, Week 23

[Bruce is sitting at the table in his house, which looks like this, and making himself a list of things he needs to do in the next few days. His glasses don't do much to hide the fact that he hasn't slept in a couple of weeks, save for a few times his body forced him to nap.]

For those who haven't met me, I'm Dr. Bruce Banner. Before the plague hit, I was working with a team of scientists to figure out how the pods functioned. Now I'd like to focus on increasing the ship's power supply, but I'm not sure who is still around to help, or if anyone else is interested.

I would also like to know if anyone would be interested in attending lectures on various topics relevant to some of the problems that we face here. Things like basic engineering, first aid, hydroponic gardening, chemical analysis, and really anything else you can think of that would be useful. The lectures would be aimed at those who haven't had much previous education in these areas.

I don't have a location or specific times planned out yet, I'm just gauging the level of interest at the moment.

[This part is delivered far more awkwardly.] I need to go away for a few days. Up in the mountains, I think, where I won't be able to hurt anyone. Company is probably a bad idea, but I thought you all should know where I'm going, at least.

Yeah, that's going to be the interesting part.

[He pauses, then grins slightly, because even (or perhaps especially) with the risks, it is going to be interesting.]

On the up side, if our estimates on size are even close to right, most of the city should be out of the blast radius.

[His tone is dry, but his expression says he finds the notion just as interesting as Tony does.] Most of the city except for my house...though it would probably fall down outside the blast radius anyway, at the mere idea of an explosion.

Most of the buildings here are prone to fainting spells, from what I've seen. Explains why so many people keep a summer home underground.

Somehow, I don't think living underground would work out very well for me.

But I honestly don't mind the house so much. I've lived in places like that before. [and worse places, but he didn't complain then either]

Yeah, I wouldn't reccommend it. The rock dust gets into everything.
