002 ☃ video ☃ project #1 ... start?

[scienceinacan]

Does anyone know where to get plants around here? In particular cherry saplings or seeds?

Also, a lab I can borrow would be very helpful! I promise to clean to clean up after and not leave any surprises ♥

My payment for borrowing... would be my help in the form of an invention! Something to make your life easier! You have to tell me what you need, of course, and then let me borrow your lab again... to use for my invention, of course!

My PhD is for Mechanical Engineering! But I dabble in Biology, Forensic Sciences, Chemistry, Alchemy and - recently - Gynecology! It really depends on what I need and whether I can read up on it ♥

[trustycrowbar]

Gynecology...

[He'll admit, it's not a bad choice for a hobby.]

The, uh, Initiative accepts Transports for research associates and R&D positions here, if you're interested. Hell, between you, me, and the video screen? They're starving for help. Not too many natives left around here that have a PhD, if you understand what I mean.

[scienceinacan]

Transports not being picked for credentials, just them nabbing up whatever they can?

What do they usually research around here? Aside from the time-traveling business they've got going.

[trustycrowbar]

Well, quality counts, but they're glad to even have lab techs now.

[He shrugs.] Other than the game of temporal chess they're playing, it's still a war. Most of their energy is focused on winning it. Weapons development, secure communications, the technology to actually keep people fed in a hellhole like this, any practical thing you can imagine.

[scienceinacan]

Weapons development... I guess that's the way it is around here! And as long as I can tinker with their labs... it'd be a working relationship ♥

[trustycrowbar]

Exactly what I thought when I signed up.

Now... What's this about cherry trees?

[scienceinacan]

To add some beauty to this place! You've heard of Japanese cherry blossoms, eh?

[trustycrowbar]

[Oh man. They were only everywhere in Seattle when he was growing up--]

I, ah... I have, but it seems like a little superficial to beautify a place that can barely keep us alive.

[scienceinacan]

It'll make people feel more at home. Encourage them!

[ Or. You know. He has nothing better really to do. ]

[trustycrowbar]

I admit, they could use a boost of morale, but I'd be more concerned with rehabilitating the soil and improving water filtration before we start planting ornamentals.

[No matter how nostalgic.]

I'm sure they'd give you plenty of lab time if you lent some of you expertise to their projects as well as your own.

[scienceinacan]

Then we can work on that on the side. Benefits on the way to the bigger goal - cherry blossoms!

Do I have to submit apply or take a test?

[trustycrowbar]

[His sense of priorities will fit right in around here.]

Not anything too grueling. Ostensibly they'll ask your credentials, but other than that all you have to do is negotiate the guys in admin up in the Hold.

((ooc: No application process either that I know of, I just checked with the mods before saying Gordon got a job there as a research assistant.))
