[Romana is in the lab, as usual, doing some research. She's wearing a long red dress, her hair done up with pearls. Not that she's going anywhere fancy, it's just how she rolls. She's very tired, but probably only those who know her well enough (or paid very close attention) would notice.]I would like to inform newcomers to the city that

[Saïx does not allow himself to hesitate before turning on the feed. Yes, he is not fond of scientists, but he must make use of any opportunities that present themselves to him. Including this one.]

Is there time for one more project?

[video]

[writingmythesis]

Of course. Many of us work on more than one at a time, including myself. Why do you ask?

[bringthefates]

I have a... predicament. I was hoping that perhaps one of you would be able to help me.

[she is raising an eyebrow] The metaphysical kind?

It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Romana.
