K-SCIENCE RULES!

shatterdome? more like shatterdoom, am i right or am i preemptively, trending-towards-distastefully, but nonetheless notoriously, right?

Also being a scientist pretty much gives you a free pass to be as eccentric as you want like you’ll be at a conference and it’s like “is that guy wearing socks and sandals and plaid pants???” “Ya but he was on the team that discovered gravitational waves let him be”

I once saw a highly-respected mineralogist take a slice of watermelon, put it between the two halves of a bagel, and eat it like a sandwich.

“Who let you talk like that. So loud.”

Spirit spends enough time buying from and selling to the wrong people to recognize Newton immediately as somebody she should not be talking to. Fucking feds, anyway–mysterious. Self important. Nerdy as all hell, too, since the world fell off its axis. 

“It’s mine. My boyfriend gave it to me. Anniversary gift. It’s the little things, you know.” Things like the scraps, the organs, the shit you find in dumpsters and abandoned drug labs. “What the hell do you know, anyways.”

Oh, sorry, is he talking too loud? He can do overly loud gestures, too (you know, figuratively). He does that. He does a huge, whole arm-ed gesture to himself:

          “What do I know? What do I know?! I’m the world’s leading biologist on kaiju, alright!”

Newton can hear Hermann in his head saying you are the world’s only kaiju biologist. He wants to say shut up, Hermann. And he could. He totally, rightfully could. But Hermann’s not here. Not literally. But mentally? Neurobiologically? Like, sort of? Traces of Hermann’s neural pathways are still overlaying Newton’s own, like a cobweb wrapped around his brain (like a whole, new extra layer of gray matter) like some kind of residual drift connection. It’s no big deal. That’s not the problem right now. I mean, it is, it is a problem (a highly annoying, kind of thrilling, a little bit seductive problem), but he’s got another, more present, problem. Which is her. Anyway:

          “I know-- the most! That’s what I know! How did you even get that? Because, really, dude, there is no way you have a boyfriend.”

Newton needs that kaiju lymph node cell sample. Except, somehow, this teenage-looking grunge girl has it? Which, okay, yeah, all his ties (i.e. his only tie) to the kaiju dark market are gone now that Hannibal Chau is dead, so getting this kind of stuff has escalated from annoyingly implausible to totally impossible. Because apparently you get one guy killed by proxy and you’re on the dark market’s ‘no sell’ list forever. What kind of dark market has a ‘no sell’ list, anyway? I mean, it’s the dark market, nondiscriminatory selling is kind of the whole point.

He points at the sample she’s holding with a flair-y flick of the wrist.

         “I need to have that. The world needs me to have that. So, come on, hand it over.”

@conseance

What kind of person do you trust with something important and maybe plausibly Really Bad? Someone no one trusts, that’s who. Because no one will listen to them. And if they do listen to them, for whatever reason, no one will believe them. And that’s, well, that’s Newton. Who’s being described is Newton. But Newton’s own, uh, sensory information is currently not so reliable. Not so hot. And it just so happens this whole description also describes Klaus. Thank you, Klaus. Also, relatedly: sorry, Klaus.

          “So, I’m gonna need you to do something for me and I’m gonna need you to not ask why. Or ask anything. At all. No questions. Unless that question is ‘Newt, how are you doing so good post--you know--everything?’. You got it?”

Newton gives a charming smile. That looks more like an alarming one. But he’s working with what he’s got and what he’s got is not a lot right now.
