You are...

Well, utilization of living space over time in homeostasis isn't terribly complex to model, so that part has not seen any major challenges. However, the only part I've had occasion to continue working with is collective response to extreme stress, as that's the only part that's really pertinent to my work now.

I suppose there's no harm in anyone here knowing what I do. I design and implement containment and experimentation protocols for entities and objects which don't belong in my universe, but have ended up there anyway.

[Which is why she's one of the few people who actually prefers being here - she knows what it means, that things that don't belong in her reality keep finding a way in anyhow. It means it's only a matter of time before the world ends, and that's one party she doesn't want to be around for.]

I must say, you are quite brilliant. Your work sounds positively fascinating to me. Then again, I always do enjoy learning about new aspects of science I have no prior knowledge of.

[She had noticed the prosthetic, but she hadn't paid it much attention. She wasn't exactly the type to stare in such a fashion. Staring was rude, after all.]

Dangerous entities and objects, I would assume. You have my sympathies for your world having to endure such a fate. Has your work been successful in containing these foreign entities and objects?

[In a way, it sounds a bit like the Warehouse and Artifacts.]
