Library [12/12]

Dec 12, 2013 09:43

The library was starting to look a little lived-in, with all the researchers running about. John had brought a box of donuts and thrown it on one table, and chaos was reigning as the books were piling up ( Read more... )

Talk to the Pandorans talentforlying December 12 2013, 15:47:02 UTC

One of the computers had been moved on to a desk off to the side, out of the immediate ebb-and-flow of traffic. A faint purple glow could be seen from the monitor, and a window was open with a video call to Dr. Tannis' lab in Pandora.

As campus security, Bo suspected that No Guns In The Library didn't (and probably shouldn't) apply to her, but she might as well set a good example. She dropped hers in the box before walking back to find out... who she could eavesdrop on, mostly. Research wasn't her strong suit, but getting an idea of what other people had come up with couldn't hurt. They might need something (or someone) done that did require her talents.

The knife strapped to her leg, though? That was staying. Though it wasn't going to be much use in defending herself against an unexpected voice from a monitor, which didn't stop her from pulling it as she turned around.

"Me here?"

"Yes, you."

See, she was ever so helpful with the clarification and all.

"Are you familiar with this -- the preserve area, in the north?"

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. nookiepowered December 12 2013, 19:52:30 UTC

Okay, knife going back into the hip-sheathe now, la la la la you never saw that. "Sure? About as familiar as you can get with a place that seems to be bigger on the inside than the outside and moves shit around on you when you're not looking."

Or maybe she'd just gotten lost in the trees -- more than once -- but Bo preferred her interpretative, thanks.

There was a good chance Tannis had actually not spotted the knife in the first place. It was no concern of hers, she was half the multiverse away!

She switched a map of Fandom onto the screen in front of Bo. A certain area of the preserve was colored red, unlike the rest of the map.

"Well, then, can you tell me what's causing this blasted interference in my readings?"

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. nookiepowered December 12 2013, 20:56:31 UTC

Bo shrugged. "Teal deer chewing on the wires? A lot of Alots having an orgy? El Niño?"

Dear anyone out on the preserve who might accidentally get caught in the middle of either an Alot orgy, or a lot of orgies, Bo is very sorry. Unless you're having fun, in which case carry on.

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. pandora_goodies December 12 2013, 21:08:49 UTC

"None of those things mean anything to me." And that yor fault, Bo, clearly. Tannis paused, then squared her shoulders. "Go out to preserve and find out the exact cause."

Blame Isaac. He'd left so easily, it had given her confidence about ordering people around.

"Excuse me? I'm the school security chief, not the Wichita lineman. What would I know about why your scanning doohickeys don't work?"

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. pandora_goodies December 12 2013, 21:33:15 UTC

Everyone in this library was exasperating, and just giving Tannis

"You have eyes, do you not? No one has gouged them out? Unless those two things in your head are highly advanced prosthetics, but I doubt your planet has gotten that far yet." Way to be persuasive. "Anything causing this serious a disturbance must be visible in the landscape."

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. nookiepowered December 12 2013, 21:44:22 UTC

"No, we spent the time inventing something called manners, instead." As Bo was ably demonstrating in her excruciating politeness to someone who was supposed to be helping Fandom out. Shut up.

Bo clenched her jaw, then shook off her annoyance because yeah. "I'll take a look. If I can break it up, chase it off, or punch it in the face, I will. If it's science nerd stuff, I'll have to tag somebody else in."

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. pandora_goodies December 12 2013, 22:10:34 UTC

"Good."

That was Tannis attempting to be nice. Although to be fair, she was not attempting it very hard.

"You go do that."

Re: Talk to the Dr. Tannis: SIDE MISSION: Where Angels Fear Etc. nookiepowered December 12 2013, 22:18:16 UTC

"Can you...never mind, I'll do it." One of these buttons had to be able to print out a copy of that map, right?

Or it might remotely blow up Terre Haute, Indiana with a cheese bomb.

Eh, worth the risk.
