[he makes a face, but it's true, he would love figuring it out]

So, any number of things. [he sighs] I'm just going to assume you didn't bring a sample along.
grandstanding: (How terribly gauche)

I don't habitually carry poisoned metal around in my pocket. I do have some in my room on the Heron.

[A beat.]

In sealed plastic bags. [Just to be clear he's not an idiot.]

[he knows Erik isn't an idiot, which is why he doesn't even bat an eye]

Well - I could come by later to see, or it can wait until I get down to the moon myself. [he shrugs a shoulder] Either way I'll look into it. Unless they're chemicals I've never heard of, it shouldn't take long to find something to clean it up.
grandstanding: (Waffle on the ceiling.)

I could separate the outer layer from the core myself, but I'd rather use as much of it as possible.

[he nods; that makes perfect sense to him]

Can you tell what kind of metal it is?
grandstanding: (Don't do what you'll regret)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-04-17 07:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's the steel I want to work with. There are other types, if necessary. [He spreads a hand in a vague gesture.] It's items from a scrapyard, so there are all sorts of things down there. [When he had visited with Kitty, they had eyes only for the metals. Sectioning off the best, most usable pieces and putting them somewhere for safekeeping.]
beathach: it was more than all your laws allow (⚛ 015)

[personal profile] beathach 2016-04-17 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Knowing what kind of metal it is helps narrow down what chemicals can be used, too. [he makes to reach for something - and scowls when he remembers this isn't his lab at the mansion, where he always had a notebook within reach. He huffs out a low growl and mutters:] Dammit.

But - it should only take me a couple of hours, once I get a chance to test the toxins.

[Erik crosses his arms, nodding.] I'm not in a rush, so that's fine. Anything I can manage to do back on my ship with the lab support there will work for me.

[personal profile] beathach 2016-04-17 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I'll be aiming for. [or maybe something easier than that, but - Hank would have to see, once he knows what he's dealing with] And I know it isn't a rush, but the sooner I get it down, the sooner you can do - whatever is you're doing with it. It isn't as though I have any priority projects at the moment.
grandstanding: (Yes the stairs ARE steep.)

[He raises an eyebrow.] Well, that's good news. [He had been assuming Hank would throw himself into making serum immediately.]

[he gives a faint huff at Erik's expression and looks away]

I'm trying. [he was still going to make it, he had legitimate reasons aside from his issues with it all, but . . . ]
grandstanding: (Yes everyone here seems competent)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-04-19 09:09 am (UTC)(link)
['Trying what' is the obvious response he could go to, needle him a bit more about the serum and the total waste of time that it was. However, they've danced this dance before, and Erik's not in the mood to annoy Hank a mere few days after he arrived.]

Just send me a message when you're ready and I'll meet you down there.

[personal profile] beathach 2016-04-19 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[he admires your restraint, Erik. So much so that when the expected response doesn't come, Hank looks over and raises both eyebrows in surprise]

Like I said, I don't have anything that needs my immediate attention. So whenever you want to go down, I'll go.
grandstanding: (More bang for your buck.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-04-20 10:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then let's do it tomorrow. [He straightens, crossing his arms.] I don't know how long we'll be on this moon, but it seems better to get started sooner rather than later.

[personal profile] beathach 2016-04-20 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
That's fine. [he's really of the same opinion] It'll give me the opportunity to pick up some things I don't have available to me up here.
