2% Video; Mis-Spell De-age. Whoops

[doc_holi]

[A young girl--around 6 in age--is peering up at the screen. From her position, she looks as if she's on her tippy toes, trying to adjust the thing to actually look at her. At least her hair and eyes are distinctive enough to prove it's the good doctor.]

I'm usually 28. [Her voice is also squeaky and a little cute... Not her fault.]

I noticed I'm not the only one. This isn't going to be permanent, right?

... What do I even do until then? I can't work like this.

[Never mind food, reaching anything on the counters or higher tables, clothes, money, etc.]

And luck, God help us... [In fact, luck is the key ingredient in this formula. ]

Luck would probably be better. I'm also in the field of science and I haven't discovered any aging formula that works that well.

... Really? [ Ooo another science person! McCoy is real interested now. ] What fields?

Right now, I'm focusin' on isolatin' any common resistant strains in those that weren't affected, but my sample is woefully minuscule until I find more patients...

That, and my equipment can only do so much without a real lab.

[ Fuck you, backwater turtle! ]

Nanotechnology, biochemistry, and medicine with a concentration in unnatural biological mutations. [It used to be EVOlogy, but that's still a quote from her résumé.] ... I don't really look it right now, but it's all true.

So, you're treating this like a virus and that the people who weren't affected may have a cure? ... How long have you been here?

[Holiday hasn't been here long, but one dance at the bottom of the ocean and a couple trippy adventures with an angel will make one wonder if medicine will actually treat something like this.]

[ Nanotechnology? That catches his attention. His last encounter with nanites was not a pretty one. ]

Well, I'm tryin' not to couch it too early since this is definite magic, somethin' I dunno a lot about, except bein' on the wrong end of it constantly. [ Yeah, thanks, Jim! ] But magic or not, I'm hopin' whatever is keepin' it at bay in some lifeforms is biological. That I can work with.

Unless it's mental, and then I'll be back to the drawin' board....

I've been here--Hell, I don't even know! It's been about three months. Goddamn... Three months...

Oh...

I hope you're right. A biological problem is one thing, but I haven't seen anything explained by biological means, or even scientific ones, since I arrived.

Then again, I've been here about two months now. Maybe you do more than I do... I hope you know more than I do. I'm not enjoying reliving my childhood.
