[ nervous? a little bit, yeah. but when Gwen wants something, she gets it, it's as simple as that. and right now, seeing as most of the ship is out on shore leave, she wants a map to the science labs, or better yet, someone to show her the way, so. that's exactly what she's going to get. ..hopefully. ]

I understand that this is a tall request, seeing as the only known route to the science labs is a dangerous one, but I was wondering if any of the remaining passengers on board would be willing to accompany me, or at the very least point me in the right direction to the labs with a map so I can find my own way there. I ask because I would really like to take a look around the area, maybe start ( or continue? if someone else started ) cleaning up shop so that we can all start using it regularly. I don't have very much to offer to trade for a map, but I'm more than willing to share my notes and what I know about cross-species genetics from home. Which, to my knowledge, is what created the monsters some of you faced the first time you discovered the labs, right? My collection of notes is one of the few things that made it with me here from home. Which is exactly why I would like to visit the labs myself. I'd like to see what was left behind, beyond the data gathered, see what we can work with. I can leave at any time. Thank you.

[ was that too formal? ohgeeze it really was. ah. well. better the ship believe she's a stick in the mud than some kid just wanting to play with a microscope. ]

ooc: first dibs go to Tony for her escort, but she'll talk nerdy with anyone! also if you wanna thread out cleaning/science-ing with Gwen in the labs, let's actionthread it here!

I'm going to let you in on a tiny secret, those notes totally count as something to offer.

[ spoilers: he wants those notes. ]

Why now?

Good to know. [ jackpot. ]

Why now? Privacy, mostly. With the majority of the ship gone I know I'll be able to take my time cleaning and looking around- [ and nerding out to the max ] without worrying about getting in anyone's way. Plus I think it'll be a nice surprise for the Science department.

[Libby never really hopes too high. Oh, sure, she's ambitious. She has her big plans and her goals and her gogogo all the time, but it's not the same thing. She hasn't gone to the medical staff with her issue because--what's the point? And now she has a reason to be suspicious.

But her computer is programmed to ping certain keywords from wave eight when it filters her comm. Cross-species genetics is one of them, and when the alarm goes off Libby almost falls out of bed getting up, and she reviews the message.

Well.

Try harder, be smarter. It probably won't help. This girl might not be able to do anything, but Libby doesn't have a lot of options here, as her shaky fingers remind her constantly. She plugs in the encryption she's now working on, one that contains absolutely nothing Loki has seen in her coding before, and is still paranoid:]

I want to meet you in person.

[ well that's... direct. and it makes her nervous, but she's not about to assume the worst. she didn't exactly say anything that would land her in any kind of trouble ( especially with a girl that doesn't look too much older than her ), so. ]

That can be arranged. Do you mean in the labs? Or just in general.

[ her feed is kinda fuzzy though, the picture, the sound. is she even on the ship? ]

When would you like to meet?

Eighth floor kitchen. When do I show?

[She needs to feel this chick out before she says anything, before she commits to anything. Libby doesn't want her business over the whole fucking ship--not this, anyway.]

I'm free now? I can't promise a lot of time, since I'm just waiting to hear back about heading into the science labs, but I can meet you there now, if you're free.

You're going to the labs?

[ From one nerd to another... ]

Hopefully! Someone's agreed to show me the way, now I'm just waiting to hear back on when we'll be going. Interested in joining?

Yeah, definitely. I've been meaning to check it out. Would you mind?

Not at all. I've heard it's a mess right now, though I'm not sure of the details. Lots of blood is about as descriptive as I can get. I'm hoping to get a good look around today, see where to start in cleaning up.

Sounds good to me. I hope a lot of blood is all that we find in there. . .

There were manticores down there, but I've been told they were all killed when the labs were first discovered.

Hopefully more of them don't show.
