Who: Coil and anyone listening
Broadcast: Text | Anonymous, Fleetwide
Action: SS Red Fish
When: Beginning of March


[if there has been any discussion or collaboration concerning these gumball things, Coil certainly hasn't bothered to look for it before now. he has only been working on his own and with a precious few other people, locked away in his own little lab, until he has something really tangible to share. and when he does, it's just a crude, anonymous text message dumped out to the network at large, along with an uploaded attachment.]

Gum
- isolated and manipulated
- polymer unknown? synthetic?
- regular pattern and structure
- use and purpose unknown
- not foodstuff

important to atroma maybe? valuable? secret? dangerous?

to other labs: find similar results? any further study?


[and that's pretty much it, because Coil may be competent with science, but typing is another matter entirely. even the attachment he posts, which is the entire collection of his notes so far, are only scanned, handwritten documents. not a single thing has been typed up, so some other patient soul would have to transcribe them if they want something a bit more digital. the notes include the documentation of his testing, the chemical results, and several useful sketches of bits of the 'completed' gumball polymer.

after the broadcast is sent out, he leaves the communicator nearby so he can watch for replies, and gets right back to work in the meantime. if anyone happens to stop by in person, he can be found either in his lab, or stopping briefly by the kitchen for a snack to keep him going. he's going to be at this for a while.]

[Sigh. She's not the one who sent an anonymous message - her text is marked with her name. But it's fair enough.]

I'm Dr. Beverly Crusher, on the SS Blue Fish.

[In turn, it takes her a moment to respond as well. The crew roster is easy enough to pull up and she finds that not only is he the lab support but-]

You're the captain of the Red Fish. Coil Lenn. Why all the secrecy?

[Shocking.]

Well, I like to know who I'm working with.
