[text] only slightly backdated to Friday of Week 24

[Locked to the Avengers, Pepper, Lyall, Bones, and Tosh]

I'm back. The trip was worthwhile, I think.


[Locked to Kaylee and Tosh]

Kaylee, Tosh, I have a project I could use your help with. The area where the ship's power core is located is going to need life support routed there as soon as possible. Between the three of us, we should be able to rig up a solution fairly quickly.


[OPEN]

For anyone who might venture out into the mountains, be careful. I encountered some saber-toothed cats and an Andrewsarchus there.

Something like that.

Thanks for the update. If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Now that you mention it, are you pure nuclear physics, or did you cross into the biology of it at all? If you know any biochemistry, or enough to get a crash course, I could use an extra brain. Solus is going overseas with the plague cure.

[tiptoeing]

I do actually know some biochemistry. I wouldn't call myself an expert in it, but I used to work with a very talented cellular biologist. [He's being modest, of course. And he's also grateful for the text option, because talking about Betty is difficult.]

Well, you strike me as bright enough to be a polymath. Get down here some time when you're not trying to keep the ship from killing off thousands of people from low power, and I'll walk you through what we're learning about Medea's immune system. Or lack thereof.

I can multitask, you know.

[damn_it_jim]

Which raises the question of just how much multitasking you're doing already. Level with me, Banner, you're talking to a fellow sojourner in the land of 'I can sleep later'.

[tiptoeing]

I got some sleep in the mountains.

[damn_it_jim]

Well, all right then. Come by and we can work and each tell the other to go get some sleep, and then we'll both ignore it until the nurses threaten to shoot us. Deal?

[tiptoeing]

Deal. Though threats of shooting don't really work on me.

[damn_it_jim]

Don't say that where the nurses can hear. They'll only think up something special to motivate you with.

[tiptoeing]

I'm pretty sure whatever they can think of, I can handle.

Good to fade out on this?

[damn_it_jim]

Hah. You're either a braver man than I am, or your PhD-not-MD is showing. Never anger the nurses.

Check in when you get down here.
