No party is like a science party.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Did I say party? I meant WORK REALLY HARD AT SCIENCE.

So sometime after Skokan's visit on Day 230, Spock is going to have enough of this sitting around business and start contacting anyone he's ever met that seemed interested in participating in doing all things science.

IC, what's going to happen is that Spock will send out a private network blast to those he thinks would be interested, and ask for ideas on what they could be doing to improve not only the technology they have access to, but ways to observe and experiment on their surroundings such that hey, maybe one day they can get out of here. Then, he'll actually host the real science get-together the day after.

OOC, if you want your character involved in this, just sign up below. If your character hasn't met Spock yet, we'll fix it. If your character doesn't know how to science but wants to science? We'll do it. Just know that once you get Spock science-ing -- it usually turns into a science all-nighter (*cough* sleepover *cough*), and who doesn't want that?

I'm doing this mostly because (1) we have amazingly talented characters here who would under normal circumstances be able to build us all time/space machines, and (2) to be IC, I really need to give Spock (and perhaps some of your characters too) a way to be a workaholic.

What will be the result of this science-a-thon? THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS. Or so I keep telling myself.

OH OH PICK SARAH.

She's not exactly got fancy tech but she is super smart and loves her some math, so. Her brain is there for the picking. The only catch is she hasn't met Spock yet.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

YES YES YOU THERE.

I'm down to handwave them meeting, or if you want Spock has an open post right now for the night before and the day after the booze party. Or if Sarah puts up something I can always tag in!

[cuckoocachoo]

I will go find his post! Just for potential nerd times. I'll hit that up tomorrow.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Awesome. :D

Come here you bio/chem double you.

Marion once used chemistry equations to seduce her then boyfriend. She loves the heck out of a good challenge.... and is happy to do heavy lifting for grunt work.

So. :D

[tenuefarfalla]

Cho's not on the network, but Spock knows that, so could we handwave a face-to-face invite? Other option, she could have given him a very small little book of linked paper at some point so he could send her messages. What you write in one appears in the other, as well.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

YES! Spock has indeed learned this already.

Um. Can we picked the linked paper just because THAT SOUNDS AWESOME? And Spock will be studying that paper for DAYS?

[tenuefarfalla]

It is pretty cool. That little project of Cho's, the one she's been working on for almost a year, it's to make linked journals that she can talk to people through that can't be hacked or eavesdropped on like she believes the network can. Makes sense for her to give out early versions as she works through bugs in the testing stages.

[hypospraying]

If it doesn't involve anything similar to building their own Grasp or hacking ear buds again, then count Christine in. If the project looks like it's going to get them in trouble, she'll ollie out of there.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Sounds good. In my own head, I think Spock is leaning towards something NOT quite as targeted and on the offense.

[hero_with_no_fear]

Both Anakin and Fire would like to be involved in this. Under normal circumstances Anakin would have built a ship off this rock already. And Fire just likes the learning about all this stuff.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

I know right? I feel like under normal circumstances, all the brainpower involved with the candidates here would have advanced science by a million years.

[thelastmonster]

They would. It makes Anakin very frustrated. We need to have Anakin and Spock meet, for reals. They spoke during the network hacking plot, but I think that's it.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Haha. We have two very scientifically frustrated characters. :D lol

AND YES. They really do need to meet.

[rosenbridges]

Jane is all over this!

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Yesss come back for sleepover part two.

[rosenbridges]

awww yes!

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

SCIENCE. Lydia's so in. So in.

They haven't met yet, but Lydia did talk with Pasha about science-y things, so maybe there was some conversation there?

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Ah yes. If she's talked to Pasha, we can probably assume that Spock's message will get to her. Because well, Spock will definitely be inviting Pasha and asking for her recommendations.

[fivethreestrawberryblonde]

Yep! Pasha chatted with her on her intro! \o/ Brilliant. My little genius will love this little slumber party.

[funnythingsare]

I'd like Tony in on this, if possible. They haven't met yet, and I want to fix that. For all the reasons.

If you'll have a lowly engineer.

[your_logic_is_impeccable]

Pfffft a lowly engineer genius?

Clean energy is stuff of the future.

And yes, these two absolutely have to meet.

[hisonlygirl]

Science. You know Spock can always count on the Enterprise for science.
