Further Experiments

[theverymodel]

[Action: Hardware Store]

[Mordin is systematically making his way through the hardware store, scanning every item on the shelf with his omnitool. Most are rejected out of hand, but some, notably fertilizers, find their way into his cart.]

Potential. Crude, but will suffice.

[Action: Grocery Store]

[A similar scene plays out in the grocery aisle]

Suitable medium. Further reaction... yes, effective.

Comments

Grocery Store

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell happened to be picking up a few things at the store at the same time Mordin was.

She hears him analyzing the products and peeks around a shelf, watching him. She's staring, but it's not because of his appearance. Most people don't have a tool like that and if they did, they don't use it to go grocery shopping.

What was he doing? The way he spoke reminded her a lot of GLaDOS, very technical and precise.]

Re: Grocery Store

[theverymodel]

What can I do for you?

[Mordin's not entirely clear why she's staring. Human interaction was not a field of study]

[jumpsuited_rat]

[Chell tilts her head, she's been caught, no use in trying to hide it. Her tone is curious, she's trying to figure out if he's a scientist.]

What's that device?

[theverymodel]

Omnitool. Versatile technology. Simplifies adaptation of local resources.

grocery store

[imfinallyhere]

[Claire is mumbling to herself, frustrated over the fact that she was the one who had to go out and buy groceries regularly. She isn't paying much attention and almost runs into Mordin as she grabs various items. Her mouth opens to say sorry, but nothing comes out. Claire is left in shock as she finally notices the man looks like what she would describe as completely alien.

A few second later, she manages to collect herself]

Who-- What are you doing?

Re: grocery store

[theverymodel]

Searching for materials. Available assets primitive but will [sniff] improvise.

Re: grocery store

[imfinallyhere]

Materials? Assets...? [She shakes her head] Is this for an experiment, or something?

Grocery Store

[recklessice]

[Kaito is certainly working there, overheard an unusual respond from an unusual... costumer. Perhaps this costumer is talking about cooking. Uhuh, definitely about cooking.]

May I help you, sir?

Re: Grocery Store

[theverymodel]

Searching for reactive materials. Acids, bases. Peroxides useful.

Re: Grocery Store

[recklessice]

....We don't sell them here, sir.

hardware store

[daredtodo]

[There is now a nosy starship captain trying to see what exactly Mordin's up to. He's only there trying to pick up some things to work on "around the house", despite the fact that neither he nor his one non-drone housemate seem to have any real knowledge of this sort of housing setting.]

Yardwork?

Re: hardware store

[theverymodel]

Scientific pursuits. Resources less limited than initial appearances.

[daredtodo]

What sort of science requires lawn supplies, exactly?

[dont_touchmyshit]

[She's doing some various shopping to put something edible in the house for the drone kids so they'd stop bothering her. So when she comes across the Salarian there she'll blink and lean against one of the produce bunkers.]

Do I want to know why you're scanning cabbage and lettuce?

[theverymodel]

Determining chemical composition. Available resources limited, exploring alternatives.

[dont_touchmyshit]

...I'm almost positive there isn't any chemical compound useful in them outside of using them to poison a turian or quarian.

What are you planning on doing with all your collected chemical data?

Hardware Store

[cosmicbond]

[Gentarou is also looking for materials: he's planning on building a version of the Rabbit Hutch...well...it'll be a tree-based Rabbit Hutch. A place to offer to the Titans and to house any future KRC he might create. Of course, any and all thought of this is tossed directly out the window upon seeing the Salarian.]

So cool! This place keeps getting more and more interesting people!

Hi there! Need some help?

Re: Hardware Store

[theverymodel]

[Mordin gestures at his omnitool]

Sufficient source of data.

Re: Hardware Store

[cosmicbond]

[Ooh! It's shiny and brightly colored!]

What is it?

Grocery Store

[getsciencedone]

[She's more interested in the thing on your arm, she'll stop and look over.]

Is that a computer of some kind?

Re: Grocery Store

[theverymodel]

Omnitool. Moderate computing power and additional physical functions.

[getsciencedone]

What functions does it have?

B) (Yay, more science buddies~)

[begintheoperation]

[Fran notices Mordin in the grocery store. As a new arrival she just looks like a normal 16 year old girl.]

Excuse me? What sort of reaction or medium are you looking for?

Re: B) (Yay, more science buddies~)

[theverymodel]

Attempting to prepare defensive installation.

[begintheoperation]

Defending the plants or your property?

[Fran is already pondering both]
