Re-Entry 14: Spam/Video/Spam

[Spam for the Lab]

[It's not unusual for Felix to stay in the lab all night if the wardens let him. He insists that he doesn't need much sleep -- so far, this has actually seemed to prove true -- and he tends to get on tears with things that interest him enough. This particular evening, something on Iris's bioreader has him absorbed, and he just doesn't make it back before it's too late to be worth going anyway. In the wee hours of the morning, he winds up drifting off at his station.

He doesn't wake up when the flood rolls in, but a little while later, a young boy -- 11 or so -- wakes to find himself, not in bed, but surrounded by a veritable sea of shining scientific equipment. His eyes widen.]


Cool!

[Video]

[He found two keys in his pocket and he's not sure which is the right one, but going to this one felt more normal, somehow, so it's Dean's room in the background. Felix settles the camera carefully on the desk, fiddles with it for a second, then settles, sitting conscientiously straight-backed.]

Okay, um... [He hesitates, reaches over to fiddle with the camera again, then nods in satisfaction and sits back again. He smiles, but sort of politely.] Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad. I'm having a good time at camp. [Or... whatever.] I'll be back in a few days. I saw a bioluminescent bacterium and something called a bat flower. [What? It was cool.]

So... have a good weekend, I guess. [His polite surety fades a little. He shrugs awkwardly, then waves again and switches off the feed.]

[Open spam throughout the flood]

[He's heard that this place is a prison, but it's certainly not like any prison he's ever heard of. Not like the ones in the movies, anyway. He'll be busily exploring throughout the flood, poking his nose into just about any place that will let him in, up to and including the infirmary, the CES, the pool... and of course the library.]

A bio - a what?
tinywitch: (your eyes get darker every day)

[personal profile] tinywitch 2013-08-09 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
But what is 'it?' A kind of flower?
tinywitch: (I will be real once again)

Are you going to tell me what a bacterium is?
tinywitch: (some feeling once in a while)

[There is a gigantic disconnect between Camelot and the colonies.]

It...makes you sick?

Where did you find them?

[personal profile] tinywitch 2013-08-09 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
How?

[personal profile] intelligently 2013-08-09 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
You've been busy, then. Have you seen anything else?
tinywitch: (once I could feel)

[personal profile] tinywitch 2013-08-09 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Then - you can see what's making you sick? That's amazing!
tinywitch: (once I was willing to bend)

[personal profile] tinywitch 2013-08-09 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you help make it?

A - you mean a physician? [The word's familiar, though she can't say why.] That's a noble goal. [She's not taking the laugh too poorly, if only because of his awkwardness.]

Barbara's exploring. This place feels safe, familiar - it feels like she ought to be here - but it's not...she's can't summon its schematics at a whim, she can't remember what everything looks like, and that's wrong.

She's going to fix that, and maybe figure out why along the way.

It's only natural, probably, that she's drawn to the lab. She peeks inside, eyes widening at its occupant.

"Hey, are you...okay in here?" Somehow she doesn't think combining a little boy and explosive chemicals is a good idea.

[And that's definitely caught her interest; it shows on her face.] Really? A ship in the stars?

[She just shakes her head.] Not even on the sea. I thought it would rock, but there aren't any waves, I suppose.

[a beat] Though I have been here before. I remember that time. But no other ships.
