[Hello City there is an alien on your screens today. He is still in the Porter building, pacing back and forth in front of the camera while talking very fast.]Greetings! Professor Mordin Solus, newly arrived. Have already familiarized self with basics of situation, no need for explanations of location or reasons for temporal displacement.

[She would like to be of service to this strange creature, because helping is what Mother does best, but...]

I--I am afraid I do not understand a number of your words.

[heal_or_execute]

Apologies. Professor, scientist, used to speaking in technical terms. Often leads lead to confusion with non-experts. Can clarify if you like.

[mindyourhealth]

Thank you. That would be very kind of you.

What is a -- [And here she pauses to try to recall how he pronounced the unfamiliar terms.] -- 'quantum'? What is a 'sub-atomic'? Are these new inventions as well?

[heal_or_execute]

Not quite. Sub-atomic: refers to very small scale of studying matter, parts too small to be seen unaided. Quantum: describes interactions and energies involved between smallest particles of matter. Not new inventions. New discoveries. Already present in how the universe functions. Just a matter of recognition, discovery.

aha! i knew i was forgetting something

[mindyourhealth]

How strange. Are the two related?

:)

[heal_or_execute]

Yes! Quantum activity takes place at the subatomic level. Subatomic describes the scale at which quantum matters can be observed.

[sharp inhale] Unfortunately, can't describe in full detail. Outside of my expertise. Doctor, not quantum theorist. Deal more with appendixes than atoms. Still, fascinating field. Might read up on it while here. Could be relevant to how Porter operates.

[mindyourhealth]

I see. Thank you for what you were able to explain. Is this something of which I may read as well?

[heal_or_execute]

Yes, certainly. Appropriate texts should be readily available online or at local library. Language may be somewhat inaccessible however. Recommend starting with basic concepts, tackle more advanced theories from there.

[mindyourhealth]

Thank you. Bobbie Squirrel had a science book for his school. I will see if I can find that. Then I will study more difficult things.
