"Fuck," comes the not particularly elegant, low curse from the doorway of the room, followed by (for good measure), a string of equally offensive swear words in Spanish. They're both soft enough so that only the observant passerby would hear them, but the next statement is a little louder; she's not quite sure this isn't a dream yet, actually. "

Vincenzo grins, mostly due to being in a generally good mood. "I really doubt it's a dream, but I can try and be prophetic, if you'd like. Tell me more about this experiment of yours."

She takes a few moments to think, and then visibly relents, because who would ever mind talking about their experiment? "I don't know how much you'd understand of this, but you're the one who asked--" And basically, Morgan goes into a short little talk about how, since viruses are so mutable, there really isn't a way to easily organize them like there is for genomic DNA and bacterial DNA, and how her current project is assisting a private company in developing specific markers for specific features, in order to compose a database. "So, tell me, wise one. Is B257 a good marker for H4N12 strain of influenza?"

He really can't help looking the slightest bit dazed, but in the best way possible. "I've honestly got no clue. Influenza isn't exactly where my interests lie, but, hi, you're officially one of the most awesome people here."

"Hey, don't forget that you promised to attempt to be prophetic." He does get a small smile for that, because her job is the most awesome thing ever, though most people don't understand it. "But thanks. I take it that you like science?"

"It turns out, my second sight is cloudy today, with a chance of rain. Sorry about that." He's grinning. "Only a lot."

[ownerofbase]

"I can tell. Most peoples' eyes glaze over and they stop listening a few seconds after I start talking about my line of work."

[therainbowsheep]

"Most people," he says quite seriously, "are idiots."

[ownerofbase]

"Too true." She extends a hand, then. "Morgan Carson."
