Fun with science! Tuesday

[what_the_shock]

Miguel rushed into the Danger Shop a little late and waved at the students. “Hey. Had a world to save.” Sometimes these things happened.

He hopped up on the desk. “So, introductions! Tell me who you are, where you’re from, a bit about yourself, and what science is to you. Not necessarily philosophically, though hey, feel free. I mean - horse and buggy, electricity, holonet, what?”

"Linguistics is different from engineering, although I suppose if you could get a telepathic helmet miniaturized, that might work. It's hard enough to get reliable telepathic circuitry at human size, though."

Why was he even thinking about this?

"As far as 'why not', even most scientists tend not to do things just for science. That doesn't pay for itself. If nobody's financing the ant research, and your scientists aren't independently wealthy," looking at you, Stark, "it's probably not going to happen."

Why you gotta do that, Miguel? Why you gotta go and crush a boy's simple, whole-hearted dreams to one day have ants...riding SeaDoos, huh?

The expression that took over Wayne's face right then could only be described as a pout.

Italicized and everything.

"Well," he said, a moment after that pout, "not with that attitude, it won't."

Miguel shrugged. "There's a reason most science's corporate in my world."
