Alien planet.

Alien planet.

The more I say it outloud, the more I can't believe I'm actually not excited about all this. Should I be more excited? What empty rock couldn't use a biologist? That, you know, specializes in something completely non-existent on said rock. Though I don't think I'll be there to otherwise distribute the use of my expertise. No? Yeah, I didn't think so.

I mean kaiju, those, those are one thing, but they're a huge screaming monster thing, not a...living.

...Breathing. Not-robot....thing. 



...Woah. Okay, now it's hitting me. Yeah. You should----We should go. Definitely. I should go. This thing should've been written, like, yesterday. Make it happen.

Yes, Newton, robots generally do not breathe.

I see you're well-equipped to function in this new world already.

[fun_police]

A biologist would be useful to have. There's a growing population of humans on a planet that wasn't meant to support them.

[Some whom he actually rather likes. Can you figure out space fruits?]

[kaijufanboy]

Not generally more like not at all. If they're breathing they aren't robots, they're----organic, which is actually really mindblowing. The more I think about it, the more I need to know how it works, that's something that could---break the walls of reconstructive biology! Screw stem cell research, why not just go for the all out bionic arm instead.

Going in with the shirt on my back? I'm not MacGuyver. Unfortunately.

[ DEADPAN. ]




We're using the term 'biologist' really broadly here.

[notmonsters]

[Ugh, it's one of those excitable scientist types. Meet Large Green Man.]

Eh, alien planets aren't so special.

[handwritingofgod]

Do take care to curb your enthusiasm before you arrive. Wouldn't want one of them to become as utterly annoyed with you as I am -- they're far more capable of stepping on you.

...

And from the sound of things, you won't be the only individual encountering such horrendous difficulty.

[kaijufanboy]

[ Okay he's not going to lie---

----the Hulk was his favorite Avenger in elementary school. Dreams comin true right and left. ]

Well, not all of them are.

Some...are.

Okay, they are to me, I've never been to one. You have though, right?

[kaijufanboy]

Because that would be an interplanetary travesty. Thanks mom.


Well no, but this is like getting tickets to your favorite rock show, and not having a ride to get there. The actual possibilities are right there, and I can almost taste them.

Tell me you wouldn't want a bionic leg. You'd never hold that cane again. Ever.

That's not just science, it's just plain amazing.

[fun_police]

[.....................]


Surely your skills can be applied in some capacity.

[kaijufanboy]

I'm, uh.


[ He sputters on his own disbelief. ]

Adaptable.

[notmonsters]

[Fan of 'huge screaming monster things' from the beginning, huh? Hulk would be touched.]

Yeah, couple times. Most of the time just to fight aliens. Actually, every time we did mostly that.

Might be more fun to go sight-seeing instead of smashing.

[fun_police]

[He does the robot equivalent of an eyebrow quirk.]

Good. Because there's only one doctor.

[kaijufanboy]

[ SINCE. DAY. ONE. ]

Trust me, it's way better to sight see than to smash.

It's fun to watch the smashing though.

Well. Assuming no one gets hurt.



You are a super inspiration, by the way. Just so you know.

[kaijufanboy]

[ THAT'S NOT INTIMIDATING AT ALL. ]

That's unfortunate.

I'm not really a.

Well I mean, theoretically I am.

To understand any biology it's usually good form to understand human biology---

[ You see where this is going. ]

[fun_police]

I'm certain they can close any gaps in knowledge you may have.

[NO PRESSURE LIL BUDDY. (:]

[notmonsters]

[People getting hurt is kind of the point, Newt. YOU SCIENTISTS ARE ALL METHOD AND IDEALS. WHEN IT COMES TO APPLICATION YOU GO HIDE IN YOUR UNDERGROUND BUNKERS. TYPICAL.]

...yeah?

Uh. You're... welcome?

[That's what you're supposed to say, right? Or was it 'thank you'? He's still sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Hulk never gets compliments.]

You...know me?

[Cause he sure as hell doesn't know who you are, pal. And most people who see him that know of him, well--run.]

[kaijufanboy]

In reality, the most medical experience I have are krazy glue bandaids.

Which are mostly on myself, because corrosion and open wounds aren't exactly a theme park of fun.



...I don't think I'm the kind of qualified you're looking for.

[fun_police]

[SLIGHTLY IRRITATED ROBOT SIGH. Well, there's not much they can do about that. But hey - robots sigh!]

Then what would you consider yourself qualified for?

[kaijufanboy]

[ Hey he's trying to fix that okay :( Someone's gotta be booksmart around here. ]

You're sort of a super hero. To me. In my reality.

I didn't actually have the time in elementary school to be bullied for liking science, but you'd think grown adults in college would be nice to a kid like me, no. Not really.

Biology and experimental science, to become an accidental superhero. That's one big reason I got into the field.

Well, not to be a superhero but...you know.

[cliffjumper]

Trust me, ya don't really wanna come here, but usually the muns just decide what they want to do and the rest of us are just along for the fraggin' ride.

[He huffs, crossing his arms.]

[kaijufanboy]

Basic biological engineering, biophysics and mechanics, cell and tissue engineering, genetic toxicology, experimental bioscience and research, and relative epidemiology.

Say that ten times fast.

Those are all human related. But my passion is xenology.

[kaijufanboy]

Trust me, I really do.

You guys are astounding.

[cliffjumper]

... I suppose enthusiasm is better than hostility. [Excuse him his muttering before he shakes his helm.]

Look, I can see why you'd be interested [As long as it doesn't turn into 'pick them apart'.] but with the slag that goes on here I wouldn't recommend it, no matter how astoundin' you think we are.

Even if ya ain't particularly safe from where you come either.

[Not the pooiintttt.]

[kaijufanboy]

You don't say.

[ It will. Eventually. Assuming personal ethics isn't involved. AND IT WILL BE. ]

And you're assuming that what goes on at home is anything compared to what goes on there, right? That's a pretty pretentious assumption there, big guy.

Giant, pissed off monsters that take entire cities down in a matter of hours.

Even if I was the only human there. Fortune favors the bold. I didn't think I'd be living by that by now.

Meeting some aliens that can help further my understanding of biological engineering is worth the pain.
