[ The feed picks up to show our ginger-haired speedster in civilian clothes; this is his first time posting to the network, but he's gotten the gist of it from replying to other people. Behind him, if anything is really visible, people will see a few stray boxes, but otherwise the rest is empty. There are also a few pieces of visible damage courtesy of the recent storm; he had been rather absentminded and forgot to secure parts of his suite beforehand. Oh well, he'd get to fixing that eventually.

For right now, he was just staring at the screen like he was about to huff.

Quite frankly, this blows. ]

Getting this lab of mine together is taking longer than I thought, and it's not so much the equipment. [ Though that was taking a considerable chunk out of his wages from working the Fire Sector herbalist. ]

I don't know what's exactly what here. I have to calculate how things like air pressure might affect my experiments; whatever this place is, I need to make sure the physics are right. Then there's ingredients - all I know what to deal with is the few recipes my boss's trained me in.

Any other scientists out there having these issues?

[ Olivia presses her lips together for a moment. Walter certainly believed in aliens, but as for the rest of them... ] No, no aliens as far as I know.

I think, given time, things might have ended up that way in my world. Things were... spiraling out of control, which was more or less what my team was meant to stop. [ A pause, and a faint smile as she shrugs. ] I don't know how well we were doing, honestly, but we tried.

[ Huh. No aliens. That must be a... very different world. Then again, people say magic exists where he's from and he still seemingly refuses to believe in that. ]

I hope- [ Er, catching himself, because he has no clue how things with time are being affected back home. ]

Things'll get better, as long as people are trying to make it that way. [ Up-beat talks weren't exactly his strong suit. ]

That's the hope.

If you do end up doing your experiments here... eventually... I'd like to hear how it goes, if you don't mind telling me. And maybe a heads-up, just in case something unexpected happens...
