The next jump will be coming up soon enough. For those not aware, powers widely unknown to us occasionally distribute items into our lockers. Sometimes they are items from home, other times they are strange or frightening.

Infrequently, they will be body parts, organic matter, or biological material such as blood stains and so on. If you happen to be in possession of any such thing from past jumps or obtain something like it in the next or future jumps, I'd appreciate very much if you could bring it to the science department for analysis, as I'd like to try to investigate where these samples come from and why we're being given them. Any items turned in will be returned to you.

Or destroyed on request.

On a more general note, for those that don't already know, my name is Professor Xavier, with the Xenobiology and Genetics department.

If you have anything else you'd like to bring to our attention, such as if you're having difficulties with your magical/supernatural/superhuman powers, require investigation and therapies relating to any nonhuman characteristics you have, or have recently let loose a fear monster of unknown potential to wreck havoc on the passenger population, you may lodge a request here to petition for assistance. Our door is always open.

I don't think that-

I mean there are some body parts people shouldn't just hand over, on request, like that. To the person they don't belong to.

[forgodssake]

thus far pieces in lockers seem to be the likes of human teeth, pieces of flesh, fingers, and so on
under what circumstance would it offend you to turn in a sample so it can be identified? I'm not creating a personal collection

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of putting down a fear monster infestation, as the saying goes.

Out of curiosity, what does nonhuman characteristic therapy typically consist of?

text

[forgodssake]

a bit of a mouthful, really.

and the answer to that question is as diverse as the people answering it. in my world, men and women may have mutations that need management or training, as an example.

I got six jars of some shit a while back. Dunno how much good it's gonna do you.

[forgodssake]

bring it in and we'll find out. six jars? of what exactly? ?

voice.

[wiped]

Why are are you studying them? What do you think you're going to find?

voice.

[forgodssake]

We can start making profiles of who they belonged to, cross analyse them with one another, perhaps get a sense of time and context. I'd like to hope for secret messages writ in their genetic coding but we shan't be so hopeful.

What kind of assistance?

text, locked.

[forgodssake]

that's up to the individual.
species classification, for instance, we have had people not quite sure of who they are besides not human.
management of powers/abilities if they are dangerous to themselves and others in the form of coaching control or assisting with mitigation.
or a more positive goal of learning the limits and possibilities of their powers.

but we also like to keep records and assist in general ship phenomena if anything odd happens
some cycles are busier than others.

How oddly reassuring it is to find that someone out there is working hard at investigating strange body parts that may be gifted to us unexpectedly. I'm delighted to say I've seen nothing of the sort and was unaware until now that it was a problem at all.

Do you have any theories?

text;

[forgodssake]

kind of you to say.
perhaps less of a problem and more an attempt at providing us with clues. I'd imagined that the contents of the lockers might be a form of manipulation, which could still be true, but it's worth investigating other avenues, such as if it's an attempt to feed us information.

that would be a theory.

another would be if the remains match up with things that have happened on board the ship. the crew that perished, the experimentations that took place. if I can collect a sort of database, perhaps answers will present themselves.

[protohistory]

Professor Xavier. Are there records of previous tests on this organic matter easily accessible in the labs? I'd be interested to see if any of them are linked to something I might be familiar with.

[forgodssake]

Doctor T'Soni

I've not yet begun any tests on samples of this origin, but you're welcome to contribute. what might you expect to be familiar with?

private.

[fullmoon]

:(

private.

[forgodssake]

don't give me that look

[rebelled]

Charles.

[a pause because, well, he doesn't actually know charles all that well. they've worked together once, sure, but that isn't enough to class them as friends just yet. it's just that...maybe this is another route to go. another option when the rules of his own world don't apply here]

I would like to speak to you regarding one of your points. In private, preferably.

[forgodssake]

Castiel.

[ His greeting is amicable, familiar, and similarly distanced in its politeness. He's certainly better acquainted with alleged angel then the next person he's not traded names with, drifting as they all do throughout the ship. ]

Of course, whenever suits you.

[sorrycharles]

i have a suit soaked in something

[forgodssake]

sounds promising
bring it in when you have a moment
mind that we don't offer laundry services.

when was this?

[puppydogeyes]

What about live things.

[forgodssake]

likely to be of interest too
what do you have?

[hairlocked]

Is there something genetically preventing human reproduction on this ship?

[ Robot priorities. ]

[forgodssake]

[ Charles permits a video feed in reply, but only after the ??? expression he makes is gone. ]

I would say the main culprit there is circumstance, my friend. Why do you ask.

[blackmagus]

I don't know if trouble is the right word for it.

[Fortescue debates not saying anything at all, because this is something she'd only brought up to Stark, but, well. Stark's gone, now, and she'd like to figure this thing out.]

But my magic isn't working quite right on the ship.

text;

[forgodssake]

the ship can impose limitations, which in the past has indicated a sort of ... structural instability in its own reality. there are reports of being unable to teleport into unknown areas, for example, when previously that talent was a given.
my telepathy also has some limits.

would you care to describe what isn't working?
