the whole ship is sick. just like the camp right before the grounders attacked. tried to attack. though i guess the illness was part of the attack anyway.

are we under attack right now? a biological weapon?
is there someone we're meant to be fighting?





i don't know if anyone has need of a chemist right now, but i'd like to help.

[The word 'chemist' has a certain connotation for him that isn't likely to be shared, but he'd just like to be sure.]

What is your specialty?

[bailedontheempire]

If you have experience in chemistry, you should talk to Lydia Martin in Physical Sciences.

[trynotodie]

recently it's mostly been incendiary.

[trynotodie]

we have a physical sciences?




i don't know who that is.

[forgodssake]

I wouldn't take up arms just yet
but if you've familiarity with laboratory equipment, you're free to occupy your time in the science department

what was the grounders attack on your camp?

text

[bailedontheempire]

It's currently a one person operation. Ms. Martin's number is CPO » 010 » 017. I'm sure she would appreciate any extra help.

[trynotodie]

they sent someone to our camp that was carrying an illness. it spread to the rest of our camp until we were all too weak to defend ourselves against their attack.

we blew up the bridge between us to buy some time to recover.

[trynotodie]

... okay, i'll talk to her. [probably.]

[embellishing]

Recently? What else have you dabbled in?

[mathematically]

I'm the Lydia Martin the guy mentioned. And I promise talking to me won't end in anything bad.

[ who's also texting you because fuck voice or video the way she feels. ]

How old are you?

[redheaded_rock]

I wouldn't be surprised but it's not like we know who to even start with. Fight who?

[trynotodie]

pharmaceuticals.
sort of.

[trynotodie]

jasper. i'm jasper. hi.

[for the best really, considering jasper can't actually talk anymore.]

almost 17

[trynotodie]

maybe they're getting us weak in preparation for a battle.

Hi. You have any objections working with someone who counts as 19 at this point?

[ never mind that she's almost 18 if she doesn't count her extra years on the ship but details. and oh right she forgot the more important question. ]

How much experience do you have?

text »

[trynotodie]

[that's actually a pretty good question considering that he's sort of wary of adults still. but he thinks about it and decides that 19 is still young enough.] yeah that's fine.

plenty of extracurricular practice outside of lessons on the ark. couple years.

[mathematically]

Good, because I really am the only one working on our side of the sciences.

[ read: if you didn't like me this would be a problem. ] Okay, different world from you so honestly, the only image ark is giving me is Noah's ark and— I'm guessing that's not what you mean.

What did you do for practice?

[trynotodie]

it was a space station.

[oh god not this question again. how do you make "bombs and drugs" sound less sketchty?] uh. explosives for the most part lately.

[mathematically]

Near Earth?

[ ...you don't, but it's not like lydia can judge him that much. ] Don't explode the science labs. Or if you do go to our— Considering how all the lifts are, I'm asking you to not do anything for the rest of the day, but if you're not dying right now, I could show you the labs.

[ and just pass out in the process but she can work through it. probably. ]

text »

[trynotodie]

yes. orbiting the earth.

i won't blow up the labs. I don't even know where the labs are, but I wouldn't do that either way. i'm not as bad off as everyone else. my voice is gone but I don't have any trouble getting around or anything.

[embellishing]

[This is getting better and better by the minute.]

Do you know of any that might alleviate the symptoms around here? If nothing else, volunteering at medical or with the sciences might be the best place to start.

text;

[redheaded_rock]

Yeah, but they who? I guess the best we can do is try to be prepared.

[trynotodie]

[of course when jasper says pharmaceuticals, he really means some of the less legal sorts of drugs, but he's hardly going to say that outright.]

it really depends on what sort of resources i can find here.
i have something that could help people relax.

text;

[trynotodie]

last time i didn't get sick at all.
but i guess i'm still strong enough to fight if it comes to it.

What's the year?

I'm having a little trouble. As long as your right now wasn't right now, I'll show it to you as soon as we're both feeling like normal people again. With voices and everything most people have.
