science objectives

[beastisbeauty]

Hi, everyone. So. Science at it's best is used to improve people's lives, making them easier and safer, while keeping us in balance with nature. Um. That was an unintentionally pretentious way of saying I want to use science to help people here.

I may not be able to get us home, but that doesn't mean life here can't be made better. So. Any suggestions? Is there anything you can think of that would make life here easier or better? Maybe something to help with the expeditions?

I know that in the past, a significant number of citizens have received crystals that allow them to power up their electronic devices in the Deadzone. If we could find a way to duplicate their properties, that would be really helpful.

[beastisbeauty]

Thank you. Um. I would need a crystal for study. How do I get one?

[dorkwonder]

My girlfriend has one that she never uses. I can get it from her and drop it off to you.

[beastisbeauty]

[Bruce grins.] Thank you! I'd really appreciate that. You can drop it off at the lab or the clinic. I'm usually in one of those places...well, in daytime.

[dorkwonder]

I'll drop it off in your lab in an hour or so, if you're going to be around then.

Well, you could build something fun, for starters.

[beastisbeauty]

Um, okay. ... What do you have in mind? I mean, fun is pretty subjective. For me, science and research are fun, in a way.

[3nterprising]

Then I guess you're all set.
What kind of science?

I'm sorry this is so late. :(

[beastisbeauty]

Well...all kinds, really, of the physical sciences. My doctorate is in physics.

Cell phone towers.

[ That is all. ]

Re: written;

[beastisbeauty]

Um. Are you interested in communication or internet? Communication wouldn't be difficult, but internet...well I could set up relays, but there wouldn't be any content, really.

[nottallerordead]

Communication, for sure. I'm not so attached to the internet that I can't do without.

[ Ah, to have been raised in the 80s. ]

[beastisbeauty]

Yeah, that's a good idea. The journals are good, but cell phones would be more practical, at times.

Written

[hasmommyissues]

Something with computers perhaps?

Re: Written

[beastisbeauty]

Computers? Um. Setting up an internet network, I might be able to do. I can write programs, but the content would be pretty boring. I'd need help with that part.

Written

[hasmommyissues]

I'd choose wisely regarding who takes control of that part...the last thing an internet needs is more blogs and cat pictures.

But I have acquired some skills of my own over the years should you require any assistance with the programs.

Re: Written

[beastisbeauty]

I can think of much worse things than cat pictures. Thank you, I'll keep your offer in mind. Um, sorry. Who are you?

[originalcopy]

I'm going to second the power crystal thing. We need a way to keep our technology running in the Dead Zone.

[beastisbeauty]

I agree. I think studying the crystals will be my primary project. Is there anything you can tell me that might give me a head start? I've never been to the Dead Zone.

[originalcopy]

Just that the crystals are part of a larger 'mother crystal' and that it's apparently native to this world.
They also aren't very powerful, at least not the ones we have access to. About as much power as a... double A?

[beastisbeauty]

A double A?? Yeah, that definitely needs improvement. Where is the mother crystal?

I'm likely going to regret this later, but still, I'll offer my services to help. Power, technology, programming, saving the planet in under a minute... Etcetera, etcetera...

Re: Dictated

[beastisbeauty]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I'm Bruce Banner, by the way. What sort of science is your specialty?

Re: Dictated

[genius_here]

Doctor Rodney McKay.

Everything. Well everything in the real sciences anyway. Physics and mechanical engineering is the short answer but really, pretty much anything.

Yourself?

Re: Dictated

[beastisbeauty]

Physics, biology, and chemistry, mainly. I have hands-on training as a medical doctor. [He has more knowledge than that, but he doesn't want to boast or get into an ego contest.]
