Do you want Rain Man or Tony Stark?

I don't know what that means.

Who is Tony Stark?

Iron Man?

You've missed some great films, Cho.

Super hero?

I've missed a lot, it seems. Like my own murder, for example.

I know who Rain Man is. Do I get half credit? I still don't know what the choice between the two means, though. Sorry.

Tony Stark's an engineer. His genius at it is essentially his superpower. I'm not an engineer, but I know more about it than most people. Probably more than Gabriel does. Seems Tails has that area covered, though.

I also have a very good memory.

I do not have perfect recall, and there's actually quite a bit of debate as to whether such abilities are even possible.

I am, however, something of a mnemonist and a mental calculator.

Gabriel is a fairly scientific person, and incredibly smart. Not just smart like anyone who can cut into the human brain and actually fix it is smart. He was twenty one when he became a doctor. Engineering, though, I don't think he knows anything about. I'm guessing he's never even changed his own oil. Maybe.

Could you do Tony Stark with a Rain Man mathematical emphasis? Is that even possible? Does his own superpower-y brand of engineering have really complex mathematical theorems?

[private to Ianto Jones]
You're brilliant. Utterly. You are one of the smartest people I have ever heard of, and I know from smart people.

Whatever you think you can do to help, I know it will. I'm not sure how receptive he'll be, and I'm sorry for that, but if anyone can put up with it, I get the feeling you can.

Almost all engineering requires really complex mathematical theorems. Powered exoskeletons are no exception.

I have some experience with them, as it happens.

You should've met Tosh. She was the real engineer.

Exoskeletons? Yeah, that would do it. That's most definitely something he doesn't already know.

A friend of yours from home? You've never mentioned her before.

Friend and colleague. The most brilliant person I've ever known.

You must miss her a lot. Is Tosh short for something?

Toshiko.

She was Japanese?

I don't suppose

Do I remind you of her at all? Is that any part of why you can't seem to look me in the eye sometimes?

You do, a bit.

I'm sorry.

Before you say it, I know it's not my fault.

Still, I used to look at Robbie and hurt so badly because of how much he looked like Gabriel. If there's a day that being around me makes you feel that way, I promise I won't be offended if you tell me. I'd rather give you space than think I'm hurting you.

You don't hurt me.

tenuefarfalla March 23 2010, 08:51:08 UTC
Well, if I ever do, I promise I'll understand.

So, do I look like her or act like her?
