Experiment 002 // Video

[Afternoon~]

Okay, I realized I forgot to do my duty and survey everyone who had a little time travel jaunt. So if anyone can help me in that, I would appreciate it. I know it is a little late, but I didn't think it could be important. So, apologies for the tardiness in this question and the potential for any repetition. That was my fault as well, I was distracted with other projects.

Also, I am in the market for an assistant or two. I'm looking for someone who has a basic grasp of the scientific method, or barring that, the ability to help do pesky things like make sure I've been feed and had adequate hydration and that I am getting enough sleep. My assistants tend to be my minders, I'm sorry to say.

And finally, I can use an engineering consult, so that will be much appreciated.

What kind of survey?

More like I ask a question, and you answer it? That sort of survey, unless you're thinking of another meaning?

I was wondering more about the kind of questions?
But I guess you can just ask
And if I can't answer then I can't answer

Oh! Basically where you went, any interesting things you noticed, like places, mentions of what year, that sort of thing. Also how long did you stay there, and did you end up in the I guess you can call it Nowhere, where they had all the doors?

I was in the same timeline as Ms Pepper! So a few hundred years ago I think.
I was there for seven weeks and then ended up in that place of nothing with everyone else.

Oh! You were in the same time as I was, since I was with Pepper. I must have missed you, then.

That sounds about right then for the timeline we were in.

If you saw a sketchbook floating around on occasion
Or strange and unexplainable breezes
That was me.
I'm invisible to most people
But I was visiting Ms Pepper a lot during the time traveling

[Oh, look, it's Not Padme]

The alcohol induced one?

Do you think time travel is induced by alcohol? That's not very accurate, and by that I mean so not even close.

[she met her not!son]

No, but right now wild party is as good a guess as any.

Not quite! I got sent to the past, but it was before the war, and I am not a party type. So, it is very difficult to believe a wild party sent you, and only you while others went in different ways.

I'm not sure you're getting just how wild this party got.

But however it happened, I wound up before they were even talking about domes.

So tell me how wild that party got? Did it involve lewd dancing on tables? [don't ask]

We were in the same time then. I must have missed you, but then I was playing assistant to Pepper. And taking pictures of Antiqua.

What self respecting bachelor party doesn't?

[Really, this is obvious]

I spent most of my time around the spaceport.

Good luck with that.

And you're full of optimism, Mr. Stark.

Experience. Most of the people who can even spell scientific method are already occupied.

Of course, as they should be. I was hoping to get a consult from you on some equipment I've been building, if you have time, Mr. Stark.

Next week. We'll do lunch. I've been meaning to pick your brain about some of the work you were doing in New Mexico.

[But then the ship caught fire.

Again.]

I'll let Pepper know, then. Wednesday will be perfect.

I'll help, if I can. Uh, with the survey.

[finally someone with sense! Have a big smile, not!son]

Thank you! Okay, so for example, I was in the time before the war, as far as I could tell. Travel between the two worlds were pretty common. Is that similar to where you ended up?

Would this be a paid assistant position?

[There's a gleam of greed in Neeshka's eye, there. She has to ask, okay? She can totally play nursemaid to a science-girl-person if she's being paid for it.]

A small stipend, unfortunately. I have a nice grant, but it needs to last.

A stipend is still coin, right? Or whatever they use here? A little is better than nothing, and nothing's what I've got right now, so....

[She'll take it if Jane is really offering to people without major skills in her area.]

For a lot of work, though, I have to be honest. It has on occasion involved the use of tasers.

[Have a blank look, Jane.]

What's a taser? Some fancy technological thingy?

[Because Neeshka is from a medieval world, okay. She's still learning this stuff, and they don't have tasers on Verdana. (That she knows about, anyway.)]

[a small facepalm]

Yes, it's a fancy way to knock someone out if they're scary. Useful if you're tiny like I am.

... sounds like fun. Where can I get one? And you think I'll need one if I'm working for you?

[She's conveniently leaving out that she really doesn't know a thing about modern science, here, but she may have given herself away with the taser comment.]

[There is a rather bemused Elissa responding to this message. Behind her, it almost looks like one of the pod rooms in the ship.]

I am fairly certain that I can insure you eat, drink, and sleep. It might be safer than my last endeavour to be helpful.

...

Do you know what day it is?

That's not inspiring confidence in your abilities, Elissa.

[That made Elissa laugh.]

No, I suppose not. However, as I just awakened from one of the pods upon the ship, perhaps you can forgive me? I believe that I may have perished on trip to retrieve the... The thing that fell from the sky.

You just woke up? Oh dear, Elissa, that's not good. [a pause]

Oh, the thing that fell after I went to Tuathal? I heard about it. I wished I could have gone along, but it might not have ended well.

I have little memory of the end of it, but I can sincerely assure you that being gnawed on like a Mabari chew toy is not a pleasant experience - especially then tis a Tarbosaurus doing the chewing.

However, I must say that waking up after such a thing is far more pleasant than never waking again.

Oh dear. Yes, waking up is always preferable. At least not until things have been accomplished.

[This time, Elissa's voice is teasing.]

Thus far since waking, I have discovered my beloved hound has actually been aboard the ship, dressed myself, sent a message, and arranged for a ride home instead of having to walk. Surely, that excuses me from not yet knowing what day it is?

What kind of information did you want to know?
