Broadcast

[Have you ever beheld the face of sheer displeasure and disdain all at once? Well here it is again if you have and if you haven't...you learned something new. Because Moira is irritated beyond measure at these circumstances.

Though, likely not for the reason you might think.

Behind her is the lab that is hers now. (She doesn't care that it's supposedly another person's as well.) She does have the Lab Support augment, after all.]

I suppose that this sad excuse for a lab is what we are given to work with here. For something with the supposed funds to bring us here and even provide for such things this is rather...pathetic.

[She lifts a bottle (one will notice that it's her right hand which is decidedly purple, has metallic like veins along the surface and even has very long purple nails on it) and it looks like it's taking all the willpower not to sneer at it.]

Is no proper research done in this place? Are there no areas devoted to scientific discovery? I will have to make do if there are not.

[Then, to be polite, she nods her head.]

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.


SS Heron

[Moira's found herself to be wildly disappointed with all of this. Even the location where Winston was raised was more advanced than this and continued to be after the apes took over and attacked the scientists. Arriving on this ship, she'd looked around for a moment before striding forward. She wanted to assess the state of the lab for herself. Likely it would be equally as unpleasant a sight as everything else but there was just one way to be sure of that fact.

Which meant that one was sure to find a very tall woman who was a new arrival brushing away confetti from herself. She wasn't interested in such childish displays. Not when she needed to know what she had to work with so she could begin to rebuild her research.

Not to mention rebuilding her Biotic Grasp.]

[The Bull makes it a point to know everyone on the Heron. It's a hold over from actually being a spy, sure, but it's good to know who's watching your back if something goes down. You never know what that could happen, after all. After their last visit to a pretty hip star system, the normally shirtless giant of a man can be seen around the ship wearing some variety of Hawaiian shirt, unbuttoned of course. The horns and the fact that he's seven and a half feet tall make it seem like he shouldn't fit in the corridors of the Heron but he seems to be managing okay.

Heavily scarred and sporting an eyepatch, the big guy clearly has seen a lot of combat, regardless of what his job might be around here.

Now this new person, she looked annoyed, and that just brought a smirk to the big guy's lips. She already reminded him of someone.]

Welcome aboard. I'm the Iron Bull.

[tellmehowthisfeels]

[To say she's not intimidated by his size would be understatement. She simply looks up at him without being phased at all. Though, there is a flash of something in those two different colored eyes that says she's found something...interesting. The scientist in her will never be silenced and a man who clearly is either a modified human or not human at all is of great interest to her.

Perhaps she will have to see about getting some samples from him to study.

Enough of that though, she stops her walk through the ship. There is little point in ignoring the people here. One can never know if they will be useful to her if she utterly ignores them.]

The Iron Bull. That sounds like a rather self proclaimed title.

[Her eyes trail up to his horns.]

Suitable though. I am Moira O'Deorain.

[theirondragon]

[Bull's used to being analyzed, but normally by women and men who want to jump his bones. This is a cold calculation, distant, like a computation. It makes his skin crawl, but years of conditioning and training keep any bit of the aversion from his expression, and instead a self-confident and amused smirk curling his lips as he crosses his very muscular arms.]

Yeah, that's right, Moira O'Deorain. [He inclines his head slightly in greeting, making a mental note of that whole name.] Where'd they stick you?

[tellmehowthisfeels]

[A fighter if she's to assume correctly. Likely someone that would get along with Reinhardt were he here. Since she hasn't heard his voice bellowing across the stars she feels it's safe to assume that isn't the case. For the best perhaps.]

I have been assigned lab support. I was on my way to inspect the unfortunate state of things.

[Basically, she already knows she's going to be disappointed by it. So she's just heading there to prove the fact.

In that moment she makes a decision and her lips curl slightly as she continues to walk.]

Come. Join me and you can tell me what manner of being you are. I must know what could bring about a man of your size and appearance.

[theirondragon]

[He was starting to get a bad feeling about this one, and he couldn't quite put a finger on it. She was new to the fleet, check. Never seen a Qunari, also check. Wants to "inspect" him, and not in a good way? Pretty sure that's also a check.

He's going to be keeping an eye on this one.]

Lap support, huh? So, a scientist, then. [He nods and falls into step with her.] Sure, why not?

voice

[airily]

You always this miserable when you get a free lab?

[tellmehowthisfeels]

Are you always one to ask useless questions?

[airily]

Yup. Kind of a habit, actually.

[tellmehowthisfeels]

Unfortunate. Though, not altogether unexpected.

[She's worked with this type before.]

[airily]

You gonna answer the question?

video

[passingthrough]

You're abducted and your primary concern is the state of the provided lab? [Kitty may not have said anything if not for the purple arm. That part she finds curious.]

[tellmehowthisfeels]

A relocation is a temporary inconvenience in the long run. [Besides, she already finds there's a lot she can learn and use here to further her research.

Once she has a proper lab.]

[passingthrough]

How much good does the scientific discovery do if you can't get back home?

[tellmehowthisfeels]

Likely the same here now that I cannot recreate it due to a lack of resources and a sad collection of technology.

[passingthrough]

We make stops in various systems. It's possible to expand on what's provided if you do the work.

[ultima_mortis]

[Death is in the middle of cross-hatching the top of a fruit pie when he answers the broadcast. Curious woman is curious indeed.]

AS FAR AS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN TO UNDERSTAND, RESEARCH IS LARGELY DRIVEN ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. WHAT SORT OF SCIENTIFIC INQUIRIES DO YOU USUALLY MAKE?

[tellmehowthisfeels]

The sort that would expand our knowledge of mankind and go beyond our limitations. There is no end to what we can achieve through scientific discovery.

[ultima_mortis]

[How very wizard-like thinking. Death was beginning to wonder if he would ever hear that kind of talk ever again.]

YOU'RE LOOKING INTO THE TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF UNDERSTANDING LIFE AND IT'S FUNCTIONS, THEN? I WOULD WONDER WHAT COULD BE EXPANDED UPON THAT IS IN SUCH DIRE NEED OF IMPROVEMENT.

[tellmehowthisfeels]

Often humanity is held back by the questions concerning the mystery of creation. Through science we can unlock this potential. We need only allow ourselves the freedom to push the limitations in order to discover the answers.

[ultima_mortis]

THAT'S USUALLY BECAUSE PEOPLE ASK THE WRONG QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW LIFE CAME TO BE. DIDACTYLUS CAME UP WITH A FAIRLY EFFICIENT ANSWER TO THE WHOLE THING, BUT IT HINGES ON ACCEPTING THAT NOT EVERY QUESTION CAN BE ANSWERED.

PERHAPS EXTENDING LIFESPANS OR IMPROVING ON MEDICINE WOULD BE WORTHY ENDEAVORS. I CONFESS, THIS IS NOT MY USUAL AREA OF EXPERTISE.

Morally ambiguous Scientist highfive? [Video]

[fightorflug]

[If there is one thing Flug can sympathize with, it is the plight of the under-appreciated Scientist. Despite his being in the middle if something, the evil inventor sets down the scrap of metal he was welding, and flips up the visor to answer.]

"Erm. I think it's less that they can't and more that they won't. Can't have a bunch of captives potentially dabbling in forces out of Atroma's control."

[Not that Flug is going to let that stop him.]

"That being said, it is possible to acquire various materials through the multiple systems we drift through. There is plenty to work with, if you know what to look for."

[Hint, hint.]

"What sort of research do you specialize in, if I may ask?"

She won't high five but I sure will

[tellmehowthisfeels]

[.........She is very much judging that bag on your head. Because what. However, she does leave the commentary to her own head for the time being.]

Knowing what to look for will not be a problem.

[She clearly knows what she is doing and has no problem saying so.]

My areas of expertise are that of genetics. I am the leading scientist in the field where I come from.

[Whether people like her discoveries or not.]

Heck yes

[fightorflug]

"Oh! Genetics, marvelous! I dabble from time to time with splicing, creature creation, that sort of thing, but my main trade is the research and development of weapons and dastardly devices for Black Hat Organization."

[But he'll keep his gloating down for the moment. It's nice to hear someone else might keep up with his intellect, for once.]

"Well, with the DNA of so many source worlds at your disposal, perhaps you won't find yourself quite as lacking in the subject department, at least."

[tellmehowthisfeels]

[Oh? The paper bag might be ridiculous but he might actually be useful to her. Especially given the fact that she's coming to understand that she can't recreate her device on her own.]

I have already come across some interesting individuals who may have potential in advancing my research when I have it started up again.

[She just has to gather some things first.]

Were you given the engineering augment perhaps?

[Because if so then that could be very good for her to align herself with him.]

[fightorflug]

"I was, as a matter of fact not that I needed it."

[He grouses, still just a little bit testy over the whole ordeal. He was perfectly brilliant without your invasive cyber enhancements already, thank you!]

"I have also heard it is possible to upgrade our augments, in case we're here for the long haul. What may elude us now could be possible to learn through the right channels. It's something I've been considering."
