arrival
Who: Bruce Banner + anyone else!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: SS Caprine
When: June 18
[broadcast; video]
[He's managed to make the transition to the Caprine without too much difficulty, but now that's he's "settling in", Bruce is realizing just what being on a ship long term means.]
So, this is it. We just play along with this show, act like nothing is wrong, and hope we eventually get to our destination? That's optimistic. How do you manage to live on ships like this for so long? I've never- This is... it doesn't seem like a good idea.
[He smiles uneasily. He has to resist the urge to pick at his own body, making him twitch a bit. At least he hasn't had any issues so far?]
The food isn't very good either.
[Action on the SS Caprine]
[At least he's used to lab work! Bruce is relieved that is assignment is something he's familiar with (although he did manage to fly a ship once...) and he spends a good amount of time poking around at the ship's equipment, testing both what it can do and what knowledge seems to come to him, because he definitely hasn't worked on a space ship like this before. Or worked around people this casually either. Not to mention the enclosed space makes him very aware of how tight it would be if he were bigger.
That's a great thought.]

[He's realizing sadly that trying to justify academic exercises to either Thor or Loki is ultimately useless. The importance of degrees when the two of them seem to blend theoretical physics and magic is the equivalent of arguing for the paper the diplomas are printed on. Bruce tightens his expression and sighs.]
It used to matter.

I think it ceased mattering a long time ago.

[ Well, not so much the degrees themselves. But what they stand for: the person he used to be. ]

[He doesn't try to argue or deflect that point.]
I loved it. It was a... a driving passion.

Knowledge for knowledge's sake, hmm?
