[Hey, look who's back on his feet! And... typing away at something, as usual.]

Now then... as the Haven is, I'm sure, aware, my lab is in a shambles. As a result, I'm going to have to result to... asking for favors.

Should anyone happen to come across anything even remotely scientific in nature -- equipment, chemicals, and the like -- I would be grateful for the notification.

That said...

Commander Magnus, I understand you've returned to us. Have you a moment?

[He pauses, tapping a few more keys.]

And, Grimlock. Mind terribly reporting in briefly?

Very true. Also provides a new outlook on studies that you've been working on. Potential to see things you did not before.

Dealt with machines before. Called Geth in my universe. Not as complex as you seem to be. Still advance and aware though. Intrigued by you. Offer an interesting outlook on the unknown with synthetics. Would be honored to share space with another scientific mind.

Precisely! And, conversely, it requires you to start over again completely in terms of your equipment. Which is the most troubling part of all this mess.

Few "machines" in the universe are. Considering we're essentially living organisms, possessing metal instead of organic tissue. We're even capable of self-repair, to a degree.

Understandable. Lacking equipment here it seems. Shame. Potential to build new tech though. Always the potential.

Most intriguing. Would like to learn more. Could trade data. Give you insight to things from our universe. Tech may not compare to yours but could find potential in it.

Building new equipment still requires the material to do so. It's scarce, honestly. I've had issues finding something as simple as an acid wash solution.

I sincerely doubt organic tech could compare to our own, simply due to the constraints of organic lifespans as I understand them. However, yes, there is always something to learn from alien technologies, I won't deny that.

Something to work on then. Two minds working together may find solutions to lack of equipment.

Our tech progress of over 50,000 years. Complicated situation. One civilization building on the ruins of another. Still won't compare but you may find something of note.

Professor Mordin Solus, by the way.

A very valid point! And a refreshing one, at that. About time an individual with an interest in the field arrived here, rather than another brick-helmed soldier running about.

I see. A cyclical sort of thing, if I understand correctly?

Ah, yes. Perceptor. Of the Autobots.

Can be frustrating. Dealt with quite a few myself. Tended to keep to myself on the ship. Very few could follow conversations.

Indeed. Very astute.

Pleasure to meet you.

[video]

[sciencetank]

Indeed. And those who can seldom believe it worth the effort. It's enough to drive one mad.

Likewise, certainly.

[noneedifsimple]

Very true. Unless, of course, they need something specific figured out to better a mission. Then science is useful. Only then.

I couldn't have said it better myself.
