Perhaps this is a foolish question, but, considering I've never collected any data on the subject...

[Perceptor's where he always is, typing away at his console. Though his attention appears to be on the Glyph on his arm.]

[Staring accusingly at it.]

... While we're all aware these markings possess certain effects, should we attract the attention of our "hosts"... has anyone experienced any sort of negative effect, pertaining to the changing of one's brand?

[YOU KNOW. For curiosity's sake. Totally. No ulterior motive here.]

Considerin' I didn't use to be able to. Plus that apparently last time I started knowin' stuff like this, the Synth-en formula was in my head.

It just...worried me some.

I would say that being able to immediately determine the composition of a substance falls under useful. Not worrying.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Useful, how?

[Is he going to regret asking this?]

[Video]

[sciencetank]

...

Is that a serious question?

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

....yeah actually, it is. You're the one used to knowin' everything, Perce.

[He tilts his head. At least there's interest there? If he knows what for, then he'll probably use it.]

[sciencetank]

Why wouldn't knowing the composition of a material be useful?

And it's Perceptor!

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

...fine. I'll take your word for it, see what happens with it. If Perceptor thought it was useful, it couldn't be that bad, right?

He holds up a hand to try and calm him down.]

Calm down, Perceptor. It's just a nickname. It just slipped out. [Not like he's insulting you. He's been working on that, though.

He lowers the hand slowly as he tilts his head.]

What about you? You gotten any 'negative' stuff from your glyph?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

I am calm. I am calm... and tired. Though the latter is my own business, I suppose.

...

So it would seem.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Just been over workin' yourself, huh?

[Yeah, he's a little worried, despite how he seems to often irritate the scientist. Though the yelling about the nickname was new. Does that have anything to do with it?]

What's been negative about it?

[Video]

[sciencetank]

... Let's say so. Very well.

Other than the fact I'm apparently being coerced into leaving my lab, several things.

[Video]

[neverputincharge]

Alright...

Oh right, your glyph suddenly bein' green? No, movin' your lab definitely doesn't sound good. Do you really have to move it, though? Can't you stay at Trion's?
