Fun with Science! | Tuesday, 4th period

"Well, I was going to start easy," Miguel said, "with liquid nitrogen and freezing things. And then there were dinosaurs. And other prehistoric creatures that absolutely do not belong with dinosaurs. So. Let's have fun with dinosaurs instead! Sort of."

He keyed his program into the Danger Shop and other consoles appeared, one for each student. "These start easy and go to complex. You can pick and choose which parts you want to put on your dinosaur - legs and wings and such - or you can get down into the DNA and build them from the ground up, whichever you prefer. Then we'll watch them walk or fly or swim, and either fight or get along. They'll actually be subject to scientific laws, as opposed to some of what's going on out there."

Honestly, Fandom, couldn't you at least keep to the rules of some science?

"Enjoy!"

Listen to the lecture

Discuss amongst yourselves, figure out what you want to do, etc.

Build your dinosaur!

From DNA, or from parts. Let it groom or eat or follow the others.

Oh, sure. Sure. Ants riding SeaDoos were out of line, but spidersaurs were apparently fine.

Either way, Wayne was a pretty simple man when it came to these sorts of things. He didn't know much about it as deep down as the specific DNA of stuff, but he'd done plenty of work with breeding and husbandry, so this didn't seem too far fetched for him. He was keeping things nice and strictly realistic, though, seeing just how deep he could go into complexity when it came to getting an ankylosaur out of it.

Hard not to like ankylosaurs. They were tough guys.

Maybe he could build a SeeDoo for his ankylosaur.

"Not bad," Miguel noticed. "Not going to do anything different with it?"

"....might make 'em faster," Wayne said, after such a long pause that it might have seemed he may not have even heard Miguel, whether it was because he was lost in thought, lost in the work, or simply lost.

Miguel nodded. "Couldn't hurt."

"I've seen this movie," Shuri muttered as she worked, "and it never ends well for the cute character of color..."

"The Danger Shop's got safeties," Miguel said with the blithe assurance of someone who had never seen Jurassic Park. "If all else fails, we can throw the white boys at them," he added cheerfully.

Not that he would, but hey.

"I'm not fixing any more broken white boys," Shuri declared.

"Something you make a habit of?" Miguel asked.

"No," Shuri said emphatically, "and yet it keeps happening."

"Are they more breakable than others, or are you just a soft touch?" Miguel asked.

"They are definitely more breakable," Shuri said, having met all of...three.
what_the_shock: (too cool)

Re: Build your dinosaur!

Miguel shrugged. "The ones I've met are mostly just bigger jerks."

Sabine didn't really know that much about dinosaurs. She'd done some reading yesterday to have an idea of what was around, but she wasn't sure she could identify most species. So she was going into this totally new.

And creating a small, manageable herbivore, thank you very much.

No sense of adventure, you guys!

"So what's this one do?" Miguel looked at it. "Eat grass and ferns?"
what_the_shock: (grin)

Talk to Miguel!

[personal profile] what_the_shock 2019-05-14 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
He's building a spidersaur. Because he thinks he's funny. And also it's fun, and this is actually his specialty.
what_the_shock: (thumbs up)

OOC!
