Data Sheets

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 7:48 am

Sara is in the lab, going over some things to make sure all the cryo-conservation and experimental sheets are all up to date and correct.

"Working hard, of course?" an elderly voice came from behind her.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:03 am

Sara looks up at the sound of the unfamiliar voice, blinking.

"Just making sure everything's documented properly..." she says somewhat carfully.

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:07 am

"Ah, the careful compliance of the lab tech," he chuckled. "This your own project, or something passed down by the Lord of the Lab?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:11 am

Sara frowns faintly at being called a lab tech but she's not brazen enough to correct him. Plus she feels vaguely intimidated by the stranger.

"It's for my own project."

"Ahh, Stan's mellowed out in his old age, then?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:29 am

"Mellowed out, sir?"

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:33 am

"Oh, Stan and I go way back.

Dr. Quentin Watson, of Her Majesty's Government."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:38 am

"Oh! I'm so sorry." she gets up and holds her hand out to him. "Sara Stanton."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:50 am

"A pleasure, Mrs. Stanton.

What is it your working on at the moment, then?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:51 am

"Just tieing up some loose ends on the supplementary on my paper." she says and now a bit of pride does shine thorugh.

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 9:53 am

"A supplementary? What sort of supplementary?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:06 am

"Just some of the things I didn't go into in detail. It's all in the paper though."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:16 am

"Ah, yes, I've read it. A remarkable piece of work."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:19 am

"Thank you, sir. I didn't think it'd be that big. Dr Bowen send it to Nature Mutation without telling me."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 10:59 am

"Of course he did. THAT sounds like the Stan I remember."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 11:09 am

"How do you know Dr Bowen?"

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:00 pm

"It's all part of the commonwealth. I had some dealings with Alpha Flight, back in the day."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:02 pm

"Oh. Well, I'm afraid Dr Bowen is busy right now."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:22 pm

"I didn't come here to see Dr. Bowen. I came here to see you."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:26 pm

"Me? Why would you want to see me?"

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:32 pm

"You're the budding scientist; theorize," he said, his voice adopting a businesslike tone.

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 12:46 pm

"You read my paper but why would that make you come all the way here."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:03 pm

"I had some questions, actually.

Such as, how did you determine the scope of your experiments?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 2:14 pm

"The scope? We just decided on a broad range of substances without getting bogged down by getting too specific."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:02 pm

"Why wouldn't you want specifics?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:13 pm

"Well where do you stop? With how many metals and alloys and sorts of wood there are we never would have gotten done."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:25 pm

"Well, without an army of researchers, you could never hope to finish.

No, I'm talking more about the endpoints of your research."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:29 pm

"Endpoints, sir? I am just trying to shed some light on how his shifting works."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:41 pm

"Let me put it to you this way.

Do you know how long the government has been looking for an all-purpose substance, very similar to that found in the cells you described?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:43 pm

"It's not a substance. That's my husband."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:51 pm

"That's not what I meant. The cells--we've been seeking to create something with that potential for years now. Perhaps by...studying how your husband's cells work, we can learn more, and be better equipped in our own attempts."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 3:56 pm

"You want to recreate his shapeshifting with a material?"

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:01 pm

"Not quite--but can you imagine the applications of a substance that we could alter to fit any needs? From bandages to repairwork--the applications would be almost endless."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:03 pm

"I suppose... If you could model something so complex somehow." she says, not quite sounding convinced that it could be done.

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:27 pm

"Exactly. At the very least, it could bring us forward years in our research."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:33 pm

"Well it's all there in the paper."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:40 pm

"I was wondering if you'd consider...expounding on your research."

by **Sara Stanton** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 4:41 pm

"Well I'm sort of still attending classes. It was just a small project that somehow grew over the summer..."

by **Quentin Watson** » Wed Apr 18, 2012 5:09 pm

"Yes, I understand. Then again, Penicillin was discovered by accident.

I'm not asking you to do this out of the goodness of your heart--we'd fund your research, of course."
