Imagination 13, morning; Voice.

Given I'm going to be here for at least another day, I figured I'd update the out-of-date Welcome Guide thing we have. The last month has been ... Busy and I let it slide a bit. Last I looked, there should be copies next to all the carriage ICPs though they're at least a month out of date.

[Tired deadpan -even a bit sheepish- Eva is go, and by now, people should at least have an idea of why Eva's locked in a Medical Cabin.]

I think we should add a section on missions, but Lightning-san was handling this? [As far as she knew, anyway.] I also know we found out a fair bit this mission, and I believe we need to start record, as detailed as possible, on what we know about our situation.

[A sigh.] Regardless, if you have any additions to the Welcome Guide, let me know here or drop by my medical cabin.

(OOC: I've put up a Gdoc for the Welcome Guide and commenting should be enabled. Basically, if there's things on that that need updating or editing, make a comment!)

Comments

You are :D

Hm, still a theory, since I haven't actually found anything to prove that it just makes the most sense to me as to how that could possibly happen.

[ He tilts his head, would Dr. X be impressed with him? He's not sure. ]

I'm not sure if he would or not. He might be. He's a man of science after all. He just has a very strange view of it.

\o/

[mtsilver_conquor]

Senku, you literally said that the genetics of all the subspecies of swallows are nearly identical to one another, much like humans. If that's not proof of a successful test that was then replicated with humanity, I don't know what other proof you need.

[She'll come back to the Dr X stuff in a bit.]

[10billionpercent]

It's definitely a theory, but they're not that genetically linked to humans so it's a bit puzzling all the same. What makes them a good test aside from that?

I'm not sure the motivations either so really, I could be way off, but it's my first hypothesis at least.

[mtsilver_conquor]

I'd say it's less the species share similarities and more how closely linked each species is overall genetically. If you can do it to one species like that and it works, then you try on another species.

Motivations... because it could be done? [He'll definitely get the feeling that she's not impressed by her own words for some reason- but a talk for another thread.] Who even knows, but knowing you, you'll figure it out.

[10billionpercent]

I don't intend on giving up until I do.

[ He chuckles a little bit. ]

Which I'm sure you've figured out about me by now, so however long it takes...

[mtsilver_conquor]

Good.

[Quitting is a word for other people after all!]

So, what strange ideas did Dr X have about science?

[10billionpercent]

Well, actually, I don't know if you could call it strange exactly...pretty early on he asked me if I knew how to turn my rocket into a weapon of mass destruction. That seemed a little weird but..

[ He hums, looking thoughtful. ]

Oh, and when I was twelve he asked me what I'd do if that same kind of system could be used as a biological weapon, causing mass illness and since I didn't know, that's how it got me started studying medicine. I don't like not knowing.

[mtsilver_conquor]

[Long. Fucking. Pause.]

Ah- I would... very much call that Strange... and not something to ask any kid, no matter how smart they are.

[She has a Worry.]

[10billionpercent]

Really? Huh...I thought it just might be me.

[ Well that's good to know at least. ]

He was a fan of thought experiments like that, I think, since he would ask me things like that sometimes. It was always interesting to think about.

[ For him, it's not the kind of thing he'd be interested in doing, but it's interesting to think what he'd do if some event came to pass, at least he'd thought that when he was young. ]

[mtsilver_conquor]

Yes, really. Interesting or not, you just- [She scrubs a hand down her face.] you just can't go around asking kids stuff like that.

Were those the only ones he did? And hopefully, he didn't act on the answers you gave.

[10billionpercent]

No, I'm sure there were more. He liked those kinds of scenarios. They were interesting anyway.

[ He blinks. ] It was weird, but I knew the answers. I think he was trying to figure out how smart I was, maybe.

[ That, or he just wanted information he probably shouldn't have, something like that maybe. ]

I'm sure I'd have heard about it if he was doing things like that in America.
