Experiment 001 // Video

[Jane is looking at her netbook's camera in a mix of dismay, disbelief, and a definite aura of trying to play along with the cosmic joke.]

Seriously? A question, if I may. If I am to fight, why would they choose a physicist? I mean, seriously, come on. This has got to be a giant joke, and I don't have time for it. I mean, yeah weapons, and all that, and an allowance, but that's easy enough to fake. Either that, or I've gone insane from running around with gods and giant suits of armor belching fire. Would anyone care to confirm this or do I wait for someone to jump out and yell 'Suprise!'?

A physicist?

[anomaliiiiies]

With the doctorate and everything.

[boughtabookstore]

That's good to know.

We can always use more scientists here.

[anomaliiiiies]

I'm hoping that is the case, because I can't fight.

[boughtabookstore]

They'll still expect you to fight. I'm speaking more of the rest of us, who are interested in learning how the machinery they use works.

[anomaliiiiies]

Well, maybe they can use for other things, because the only thing I am good for is running people over in vans.

[boughtabookstore]

It's a talent.

[anomaliiiiies]

Well, I can always babble physics at someone. That usually amounts to them going to sleep. Or leaving the area.

[boughtabookstore]

You never know what might work.

Welcome to Exsilium. Did you have any other questions?

[anomaliiiiies]

Of course. Um, I think I caught something about housing and an allowance? At the end of their spiel, that is.

[boughtabookstore]

Yes. They'll have given you a number and key for your room, and if you go to the housing section of the hold you'll be able to find it easily enough.

The allowance can be withdrawn very simply at the bank. ]

[anomaliiiiies]

Thank you. That's very helpful. An allowance! At least I'll be paid for being here. Unlike some places I know of. And a place to stay. Do we have to stay there, or could we find other arrangements?

[boughtabookstore]

You could, I suppose, find other arrangements, but it would cost money.

[anomaliiiiies]

Most things do if they're not the default. Thank you for your help.
