SCIENCE! Club, Monday After Classes
Once again, Science! Club members would find themselves stepping into a lab that was more like a workshop, full of odds-and-ends, and various mechanical spare parts sitting around.
"So," Evan said, offering the group a smile, "the best way to prove that something can be done when the world tells you it's impossible is to just go right ahead and do it, right? And, I mean, science tells us that there are a lot of things that should be impossible. Like... most of what mutants back in my world can do, actually. And probably stuff like randomly turning into a little kid, or powdered sugar snow... We kind of have to stop and wonder if anything is really impossible at all, right?"
"Besides leprechauns," Topher put in. "No way do they exist." Right then.
"We figured today we'd do an engineering day," Topher continued. "Perpetual motion machines. Stuff that runs forever as long as they're not subjected to external force. Entropy laws say no, we decided we'll see."
"I believe it is impossible," Liara piped in, because that was very helpful. "Even eezo deteriorates after some time." Humans. Sometimes... "But feel free to try."
"If nothing else, you might come up with something super efficient, and then you can use those principles in other things in the future," Evan added, smiling and shrugging. "It can't hurt to make the attempt!"

Re: Talk to the Leaders!
He had a friend who could fly around with wings made out of knives. Physics was a pretty flexible thing, when you took that into consideration.
