Science unlocks the truth...

Who: Moira and YOU
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Planetside and Iskaulit
When: Throughout the month of July

Broadcast

[Ever the scientist, Moira has felt the need to be on top of things here. That means that when she finds out there could be some unusual qualities to the mist, she decides it's time to take matters into her own hands. However, equipment is pathetic at best here and she is aware that she, unfortunately, will require assistance in this matter. And so, it is time to make a call.]

It has come to my attention that the mist of this system has some rather unusual qualities to it. I believe it would be to our benefit to study it. By finding the components in the samples we could potentially make advances to our medicines in the future.

[Now the less than desirable part.]

Presently the Heron is not equipped with a proper research lab. If there is a ship that is, that would be preferable. It would also be wise for several with the Lab Support augment to work as one to uncover the secrets behind this mist.

[A pause and then.]

I will fetch the samples myself. If you are willing to take the risk then you may join. I will be within reach should you have a desire to lend your...skills.

[She ends the transmission there. There's work to do.]


Planetside - Mists

[Whether someone has joined her or not, Moira has obtained a mask so she can make her way into the mists. With her is a pack with supplies to gather some samples of this mist. It's unfortunate that she has to use something so prehistoric as far as science goes but she intends to make it work. There isn't going to be a lot of progress without these samples, after all. That much is for certain.

So here she is, focusing entirely on the mist itself. Yes she's heard something about there being something for her to find in the mists but she hasn't ever been the sentimental sort. Rather her mind is intrigued by what properties this mist could hold. What mysteries they might unlock by finding out what chemicals exist within it.

Have you joined her in this? Or stumbled upon her? She certainly stands out with that height of hers.]



Iskaulit

[Now, she is here to meet with this other scientist. Flug is his name. The odd sort who somehow seems to feel that wearing a paper bag over his head is somehow a necessity. However, she's willing to overlook that in favor of picking his mind and getting him to work with her. These augments are proving to be inconvenient at times, not providing her with the knowledge she requires to do everything she needs to despite the fact that her Biotic Grasp was her own creation.

Still, she feels the need to explore it. There is plenty interesting here to supply the arts, something that pleases her. As much of a scientist as she is, she has a great appreciation for them and the beauty that they fill the world with. There is something wonderful about them and to see they have places to be taken care of here means they aren't likely to die anytime soon.

In the end, she's most likely to be found wandering the museum or the various studios. Just to look really. They're a pleasant way to pass the time.]



[ooc: A note about the mist samples/study! The mods have said we can do some neat stuff if we have some lab support people work together! It'll take a lot of time to break it all do and make something with the samples but it could be good for future systems and the like! Just food for thought if you'd like your lab people to get involved in something different!]

"Unfortunately."

[Or at all, really.]

"But the less they care, the less they'll question. We have that advantage at least."

[It's still utterly insane they chose him of all people to put on their tv show, but if they want to waste his talent it's their loss.]

"So. What do you make of the Ishkaulit?"
fightorflug: (Now what sense does THAT make)

"I agree. In fact, given its size I'm almost disappointed so little of it is going to use. It makes for a fine place to waste time, sure, but I highly doubt something this advanced is so heavy on machinery that this is the only open space available."

[It looked so huge when viewed from the small shuttle it took to reach it. There had to be room elsewhere, but where??]

"They're just being insufficient about it; a blueprint would be handy."
