Is the gravity meant to be that strong in the middle of the Atlantic?

what is happening???, potential end of the world, uh oh

It's probably nothing, you know.

*reads down thread*

Nothing huh?

Is that what this readout I just got FAXed to me from the geologic labs is about? trustvitex January 21 2010, 22:50:37 UTC

Looks like it might be.

*Sighs* Oh, I hate black hole clean up. (Not that this is a black hole in the strictest sense, but I'll call it that for convenience and it might well grow into one if not dealt with.)

D'you know who's mucking about with gravity in that area? It might be aliens, but it's easily Earth level tech and I can't think why anyone would do it except to be a pain in the neck.

You'd probably have to check with the labs, to be honest. Only thing I can think of is one of the large colliders.

Well I'll get rid of it. I just wasn't sure if there was something... political going on. Like that business with Russia before Christmas. You seem to have better success than me at informing people why they should stop their silly experiments.

If there's nothing that needs meetings and all that, it's probably more mine and Rose's domain.

Um...what?

alienish_being January 21 2010, 22:59:42 UTC

Torchwood might have detected it too.

Region of higher than normal gravity. And it looks like the problem is growing.

Should be all right as long as the rate of growth stays the same. If it's still there in a few hours we should probably get all planes grounded and ships ordered away.

rose_m_t January 21 2010, 23:02:41 UTC

This can't be good.

alienish_being January 21 2010, 23:05:02 UTC

I can think of things I'd rather do, it must be said.

Oh, here we go.

alienish_being January 21 2010, 23:01:41 UTC

It's probably human, too!

Well, it might be alien, but I can't think why anyone would bother.

Um, has anyone looked into the earthquake swarm under Yellowstone National Park in the States?

Over 900 earthquakes in just the last few days in a reasonably small area -- that can't be right, can it? ::is worried::

alienish_being January 22 2010, 12:27:17 UTC

Ooh thanks! We'll be sure to check it out!

And since this is important to humans, there's no chance anyone will actually pay us for this, is there?

editrx January 24 2010, 11:53:27 UTC

Hmmm, well, national parks in the States are notoriously underfunded, but you might try the US Geological whatsits, which I think has been monitoring the earthquakes -- bet you can get yourselves paid as special scientists. Not that they'll admit they don't have a clue what's going on, but they may be relieved to find some people who can figure it out faster than they can.

Because if the Yellowstone Caldera (aka Yellowstone Supervolcano) goes up, it takes Denver, Colorado, with it. :(

alienish_being January 24 2010, 14:51:28 UTC

Why on earth do you people live so close to these things?

But thanks for the tip! Since we're already pretending to be scientists sent from the university in London (well, I say pretending, the university has supplied me with legit credentials, which is a bit odd) that sounds like it might work.
