Escha + Flug joint post [Video- OTA]

Who: Escha [personal profile] appletart , Flug Slys [personal profile] fightorflug , and anyone else ready for some SCIENCE
Broadcast: Yes! Joint broadcast Fleetwide
Action: At the Wonderduck and gracing your screens ans ears, unfortunately
When: Now! The week of augment glitches


[ Here's Escha, standing in the middle of the Wonderduck lab! She's got a long band of bright red ribbon in her hands, and she looks excited! Very excited! ... Too excited, maybe - is she vibrating? We may never know for certain. ]

Ah! Hello everyone!
[ Escha is talking incredibly fast - her words are practically running together.] We found out a lot of things about the ribbons, because we were doing a bunch of things to them, like putting them through stress, and fire tests, and examining them under lenses, and trying to break down their components-- Ahh, sorry! I got carried away again. But anyway, we wanted to tell you all what we found!

Turns out, they're flame resistant! Um, mostly. I mean, it takes a lot for the to catch fire. Which you wouldn't expect from fabric! So there's got to be more to it than just that, right? Well, that's what we thought, too! And we kept looking into it! And we found out some other amazing stuff!!

"That's right!"

[And just like that, two rubber-clad arms reach to pluck the camera from above, bringing us to the easily recognisable 'face' of Dr. Flug... What is somewhat less recognizable is the fact that he appears to be upside down. He too is talking rather expediently, but well, that's just Flug.]

"And not just fire, electricity In particular! This fabric has a peculiar reaction to electrical currants. Observe!"


[On cue, we cut a piece of the ribbon stretched above an almost taser-like device that flashes brightly, little flashes of light sparking in brilliant patterns.]

"If Atroma doesn't brand us for thieving, I have the mind to test some of these in a few inventions. It could be very useful to have a highly dura--" [He pans to an still smoldering piece of burnt ribbon from an early test.] "MOSTLY durable fabric to use in place of what would usually be a metal alloy's job."

[ She laughs a little, sheepishly, at the ultra-fried ribbon... but then it's back to excitement as she stands on her tip-toes, so the camera catches the very top of her head! ]

I bet we could all do some amazing things with these! They'd be perfect for conducting bridges!

“Or extending battery life--!”

OOC: The ribbon investigating has begun! Want in? We already have Lab Support and Engineer augments covered. Help us investigate-- if you can get a word in! Between Escha's hyperactivity glitch and Flug's misbehaving gravity there may be some issues. Feel free to specify if you want anyone in particular, otherwise you may get either or both (Possibly at the same time!). Threadjacks welcome~

THE ACCEPTED TERM SEEMS TO BE "GLITCH". I WOKE UP TO POPPY CURLED UP AROUND ME RATHER THAN ON ME.

[He's still scratching her cute little ears. Whoooo's a good kitty? It's Poppy!]

IS MUERTE A WORD FOR DEATH? IT'S A RATHER NICE ONE.

MY USUAL NICKNAMES COME FROM LOCAL LANGUAGES, ALTHOUGH MY ASSOCIATES CALL ME "MORT". THAT PARTICULAR TRANSLATION IS QUIRMIAN.

[Poppy rolls onto her side, allowing him to rub her belly.]

NOT PARTICULARLY. I MAY NOT GET THERE AS QUICKLY AS I WOULD LIKE, BUT I HAVE POPPY AND SHE IS QUITE THE GIFTED CLIMBER.

TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THERE ARE MANY LANGUAGES THAT SHARE ROOTS IN OLDER ONES REGARDLESS OF WHERE ONE GOES. IT MIGHT BE THAT WE HAVE SHARED LANGUAGES WITHOUT EVEN REALIZING.

[Death can only help so much when there is a life to protect. It's an odd habit he picked up after trying the whole parenthood thing and being promoted to grandparent.]

NONE THAT I CAN TELL. SHE HAS FOUND HER FAVORITE SPOTS TO SLEEP, TO EXPLORE, ALTHOUGH SHE TAKES A CERTAIN DELIGHT IN TRYING TO CATCH MY ROBES IN HER CLAWS. I BELIEVE IT IS THE HUNTING INSTINCT INHERENT TO HER SPECIES.
