[Paging through the Cosmology section. Hey, they've got books from the ~future~, what's not to like. It's sort of anticlimactic to be able to find out which of your contemporary theoretical physicists actually got it right, though.]

10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 00:28:29 UTC

Just abandoned, or disproved first?

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 15 2011, 00:38:55 UTC

Not fully disproved. I just don't have the means to study it like I thought at first. Observation now is solely to change my hypothesis and to gain a better understanding of what my limitations are here.

Re: 10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 15 2011, 13:43:39 UTC

Mm. [She leaned forward a tiny bit, conspiratorial.] So, don't keep me on tenterhooks. What was your hypothesis?

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 15 2011, 19:53:28 UTC

I can show you. [He turned and headed back to his table before digging out his notebook from a bag nearby. When he returned he flipped through and showed her. His handwriting was small, almost illegible, but he didn't seem to notice. He had written and rewritten it several times, but the top of the paper contained his finished hypothesis. It dealt with how he thought dark matter was being used to navigate the ship through various dimensions and how it aided the process of bringing people aboard.

It was extremely theoretical in nature, of course, and was based on his own work of condensing dark matter in order to create enough energy for the Stellar bomb and, in turn, to create a new star.]

But I don't have nearly anything I need and our state of constant motion is extremely difficult to get anything done properly.

[Alice scanned over his writing, spending longer labouring over his handwriting than the mathematical constructs. There were certain assertions being made that had little background in her experience, and as far as she cared anything she didn't know about dark matter wasn't worth knowing. At least, in her world, at her time.]

I can imagine. It's a rather pesky material to be working with at the best of times, and these are definitely not they.

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 15 2011, 22:21:18 UTC

[He closed the notebook.] No. But here, it's just a hobby, unfortunately. I can't dedicate all the time I'd like to it.

Re: 10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 16 2011, 14:42:28 UTC

[A sly smile.] You can't bring your Inmate on board with it as a rehabilitative activity?

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 16 2011, 20:00:36 UTC

I have two inmates who help me. One is my own who helps keeps my notes organized and the other is a psychologist [he says that word like it's something dirty] who is not so bad with math.

Which helps.

But it's really no substitute for someone who knows what they're doing.

10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 17 2011, 01:41:03 UTC

[Alice's smile sharpened, and her tone became lower, playfully conspiratorial.] Was that an invitation?

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 17 2011, 01:54:28 UTC

[Thinking back on it, that's exactly what it was. But Capa hadn't actually realized it until he said it.

Not that it mattered. He was much too trusting.] It might have been. [Which wasn't his way of being coy. Rather, he was simply stating a fact.]

Re: 10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 17 2011, 15:46:36 UTC

[Judging by their conversation so far, she didn't think he was really capable of coyness. Not with strangers, at least.]

Well. If it was, I'd be more than happy to accept.

[It wasn't as if she didn't enjoy her work, and if it got her into the trust of a Warden as well then she couldn't see a downside.]

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 17 2011, 16:10:43 UTC

[He considered it for a moment and rubbed the back of his neck.] It would be something that you would have to...talk to your warden about. [He was unsuccessfully trying to fish for information, and that statement came out as a question.]

Re: 10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 17 2011, 16:29:17 UTC

[She just grinned.] Oh, dear. Bit presumptuous, aren't we, Robert?

Re: 10.15am - Library ourlastbesthope July 17 2011, 23:39:54 UTC

[He cleared his throat a bit, feeling oh so awkward, but other than the slight change in his posture, he didn't show it.] Capa. [It was an automatic correction.] And was I?

Re: 10.15am - Library likedarkmatter July 18 2011, 01:02:17 UTC

Yes. [A careless shrug.] You're right, of course. I am an Inmate. But that doesn't make it any less presumptuous.
