Sixth Incision [Voice, Action]

[Action, Part One]

[It's been several days since the Kin'Corans have returned home -- several days in which Syre has been oddly at ease with herself.]

[Today, however, she feels... anxious. antsy, even.]

[The rush of recently arrived New Feathers make her want to go out and about, possibly get acquainted with some of the new faces. Of course, anyone she already knows is free to bump into her, as well!]

[Voice]

[Later in the evening, she sets up a feed for a little voice chat.]

Good evening, friends and New Feathers -- that is to say, anyone that has just recently arrived to our fine enclosure... My name is Syre Atries.

Rather than waste your time with a wordy introduction, I'd like to pose a question.

Are any of you interested in the sciences? Biology, specifically. I've been wanting to get back to my research as of late, and it's quite hard to hold a discussion when there are so few that enjoy it as much as I do...

[Action, Part Two]

[Then, later that night, Syre is going to be roaming about the plaza. More specifically, she's going to be people watching -- the few people that are out and about at this time of night will not be spared her studious, almost analytical gaze.]

[Those of you that notice her watching are free to question why she's staring at you like a scientist would study a lab rat, of course.]

Hello, Sir Skywalker! Pleasure to be speaking with you.

[...she doesn't recognize those things at all. Cue curious question asking!]

I, ah... I'm not quite familiar with those subjects. My world is behind in terms of technology...

Oh? Really, all of them?

[Pardon his mild confusion]

What sort of technology does your world possess?

The most advanced technology we've got in my home world are wood furnaces. ...though there are people working on steam-based engines, last I checked.

[Syre realized a long while ago that Selles is rather primitive compared to a great many others. It's something she hasn't quite gotten over, so pardon the faint hint of shame in her voice.]

Ah, well then. There isn't anything wrong with that, thats just how your world developed.

What is the climate like, out of curiosity?

In my country, somewhat cold. The other nations have varying climates, though.

Ah, and...what sort of world are you from? Earth? Or something else?

My world? It's called Selles.

A bit of a... turbulent place, really.

Oh? How do you mean? Pardon all the questions, ma'am.

When I was brought here, my home nation was in the midst of a war.

Tensions were running quite high in the capitol.

Ah. And if you'll permit me one more?

What sort of research are you working on? I do have a working knowledge of basic biology, at least among humans, and a few other sapient species in my home galaxy.

[There's silence on her end for a moment, followed by the flipping of pages.]

Apologies for the delay; I was checking where my notes ended.

It's been a while since I've dedicated some time to my research, but my last session involved the effects of various substances on humanoid -- in a more specific case, Caenin -- functions.

Knowledge on humans and those that are familiar to you would be most appreciated [--considering she's got no unfortunate victims of her own to vivisect and study--], if you'd be so willing to share.

I'd be happy to do so, though I think information on Mon Calamari and Wookies would be a less than useful.

And I'd also like to know what you intend to use the research for?

Mon Calamari? Wookies? [A beat of silence, then:] Right, I should answer your question before bombarding you with my own, ahaha.

When I was still at home, I had been researching ways to improve the body's natural functions through various medicines -- to much acclaim, thankfully. I was just wanting to continue this research, in the slim hopes that the Malnosso would allow me to keep that knowledge when I depart the enclosure.

Non-human aliens.

[He laughs]

Improve them in what way?

Aid in fighting off infections, faster regeneration of lost tissue -- possibly limbs, if I can manage -- and improving their overall health. Things that would extend one's lifespan at least a little bit.

Ah, so developing medicine. That's good. How did you plan on going about doing that? Is magic common in your world?

There are varying magic systems throughout the different nations of my world, from what I've seen.

Right now, I'm focusing my efforts on my home country, since all Ecliptians are at least a little versed in the art of alchemy, but once I've established something there I plan on helping the other nations develop something similar.

Alchemy? Isn't that something to do with changing one substance into another? [Helios magic lessons and his own research may be paying off after all!]

The reason I ask is because regenerating limbs in humans isn't something even my culture has managed, and we travel among the stars.

[He raises a hand and turns on a video feed, pulling back the glove on his right hand to reveal a cybernetic implant]

I know from experience.

[Syre turns on the video feed on her own journal in response, her lips pursed as she studies the cybernetic limb.]

[Such marvels of technology, replacing that which has failed in biology...]

Ah, I should have figured that the question would come up eventually.

Alchemy in my home nation is quite a bit different from the kind found in human worlds.

By offering a portion of our lifespan -- chi, life force, soul, or whatever other term you choose to use -- we can create objects from different kinds of matter quite easily.

...I could show you, if you'd like.

Oh absolutely Miss Atries. I'm always interested in that sort of thing.

[Luke laughs]

But don't strain yourself. And if its something you'd prefer to do in person, I can meet you somewhere.

Oh, nonsense. It's not a strain on me at all!

[...not entirely true, but it's really not that big a deal!]

Was there any place you had in mind then, Sir Skywalker? Anywhere is fine with me.

The practice area around the barracks is meant for stuff like that, if it isn't too far?

[Syre looks at something off-camera for a moment, reaching over to trace something with her finger. After studying whatever it was that she was looking at, she nods, then turns back to the feed.]

That sounds splendid. Just give me a few minute to get some things gathered, and I'll be there right away.

Alright. I'll meet you there.

[As good as his word, he's there in five minutes tops]

[Syre comes along not too long after, wearing her lab coat and carrying a bag with what she needed for a proper show of alchemy: various metal scraps, a container of water, a set of scalpels, and various other bits and bobbles.]

[Once she spots the Jedi, she makes a beeline toward him, setting her bag on the ground and offering her hand in a proper introduction.]

Sorry for my delay, Sir Skywalker. I was getting my bag ready. Have you been waiting long?
