Cool! I like Helen. A lot. Like her better than Cutter. Enough that I'm working on a rewrite where SHE's the professor, and Nick is the one that vanished. (and Connor is her teaching assistant -- I think they'd probably have plenty of wild theories.)

if you need a beta for that intriguing story, I'm right here.

Connor'd be a good teaching assistant...it might help rein in some of his (flightyness?).

thank you for the reply.

A big motivation for the rewrite was this: If Connor is really that brilliant, shouldn't SOMEONE have taken him under their wing? Srsly, this is a guy who memorizes dinosaurs, builds an interactive database, somehow manages to design & build the detector, and the hand helds (yes, adapted satnavs, but still), writes a virus that piggy-backs on an unauthorized hack and has a reverse data download built in, figures out how to manipulate a free-floating possibly-naturally-occurring electromagnetic field.... and built a remote control robotic scout on par with military robotics from various scrounged parts. Honestly, they're lucky he uses his powers for good, yeah? He should at least be smart enough to know when to keep his mouth shut.

thats a good reason for a rewrite - a very good reason.

>Honestly, they're lucky he uses his powers for good, yeah?
*nods*
can you imagine if Leek had recruited him?

sometimes, the smarter they are, the worse the filter between their brain and mouth. (or the filter's too good, and they barely talk)

if I may ask, how fares the plot bunny?

more importantly - I hope you're okay.

Oh fine. Had an attack of Real Life last year: both a major event in another hobby, AND bought a first house. And then I got a dog.

I have a couple of thousand words on this plot bunny... maybe 75% of the pilot episode adapted. PM me an email address if you want to read it so far.
