I'm fortunate enough to have the resources that I do.

What was blocking your planet from traveling? Something like magic? Or something like another lifeform?

[mygod]

We don't quite know what it is yet, there really wasn't that much research put into looking into it. Very recently, my boss was actually able to break through it and go past it, but... we're likely never going to hear from her again. The ship she built won't last.

[sonorant]

Your boss? What was your occupation?

[ from gardens to online auctions to space..... ]

I'm very sorry to hear that. Do you miss her?

[mygod]

Oh, I'm a scientist. I work for a research company.

[ very busy life. ]

I miss her as much as you'd miss anyone who was in your life and then suddenly gone.

[sonorant]

What is it you're researching?

[mygod]

A few things, but the area I'm in charge of at my job is ecology, so it's what I work with the most. But I also do research a few other things, like biology and genetics...

[sonorant]

Do you have a goal with your research? Is there something you're trying to achieve with it?

[ or is just knowledge-based? ]

[mygod]

Hehe, I just want to make the world a safer place. If my research can help people live in a hostile environment, then everything annoying I've sat through is worth it.

[sonorant]

Oh! [ her smile is bright. ] That's a splendid goal. Wanting to ease the world for others... enough for them to live better... it's admirable. I hope your research can see its conclusion.

[mygod]

Hehe, thank you. It'll probably be a never ending endeavor though. Once one problem is solved, another will always pop up behind it.

[sonorant]

It's fulfilling, though, isn't it? The closer you get to to your next problem.

[mygod]

[ they smile. ]

The only time anyone would ever be excited for that.
