What's a forensic investigator? Is that like an alchemist?

[ Nnnnot quite, Escha, but good try? ]

Oh, I'm lab support! I've been taking notes in every system we've been to, including this one. I'm sure they're far from perfect, but I did my best... Maybe I could help?


(( OoC: Aaaah I got totally and unexpectedly bulldozed by the holidays, I'm so sorry! If it's been too long, I totally get it! ))

[That's -- an archaic term. He blinks and shakes his head, almost automatically.]

You could say forensics is the natural successor to some of alchemy's principles. Alchemy itself was discredited as a field a long time ago.

[But the mention of notes is promising.]

If you do have some, I would be interested in seeing them. This is the first planet I've been to on the Fleet.

[ "Discredited"... she frowns. ]

Oh... So it's old where you're from, too? I see. It's still a thing in my world. I am one! [ She's back to smiling! ]

Sure! Let's see...

[ She reaches into the bag slung over her shoulder, starts rummaging around... and she pulls out her network device! Then she starts poking through that, swiping on the screen a few times until... ] Got it! Here! [ She hands it to him! There's a file open, with a lot of (pretty well organized!) notes specifically about this planet. Native flora, fauna, and other materials are described, then compared to similar things that exist on her world. There isn't anything too specifically scientific, and definitely nothing at the molecular scale yet, but she's left plenty of room for expansion. ]

There will be more once I run a few tests in my atelier-- uh, my lab, too. Does that help you at all?

[An actual alchemist? That's a new one, though at this point Connor isn't sure why he should be surprised. He's spoken to elves and wizards, after all. Alchemy is closer to Earth history than those things, inaccurate science though it was.]

Yes, alchemy as it was hasn't been studied in a long time. What do you do as an alchemist?

[Frankly, Connor's knowledge on historical fields of science isn't much better than your average dictionary definition. It wasn't something particularly relevant to criminal investigations.

As Escha holds out the communicator he takes it in hand, flicking through the screens faster than the norm. He's still doing it by hand though, not intent on connecting to someone else's device just yet. His eyebrows tick upwards slightly once he's skimmed through the notes. This is comprehensive given the amount of time they've spent here. A good base to work from.]

You've done a considerable amount of work here already. [It takes time to observe and document things, he knows that. Looking up again, he nods at her question.] It does. Is that why you're down here in these caverns?

[appletart]

Mostly synthesis! I can make all kinds of things - medicines, elemental items, components for other things - both magical and not... [ She's ticking off on her fingers as she names things. ] Back home, I worked for the local government in the R&D department.

[ She's pretty proud of her work, that much is clear~ But more than that, she's quite happy that he finds her notes helpful! She smiles all the more. ]

Mhm! I thought there might be more things down here I haven't found yet, and I want to be thorough. [ Nod! ] Is that why you're here, too?
