[ the same unflinching confidence! this is hubris waiting to happen
but he'll guide her the rest of the way to the first floor room scien commandeered for his apartment.
it's a white space, every surface smooth and shiny. the machines that are in the space are more eclectic, crafted together by any material that scien could get his hands on. there's a pile in the corner of the tech that was definitely cannibalized to make all sorts of machines, some of which seem to be running tests and getting readings even while he was away. there's no bed, just a couch. there's a desk off to the side with more screens and a few holograms, but it's fine. it truly looks like a combination lab-office space than it does a bedroom, with a few papers, chemical sets, and lab coats throw haphazardly around. there is also an unfinished jigsaw puzzle. ]
This way. You can get settled on the couch, it won't take long.
[ she kind of takes the long way to the couch, slowly passing by some of the machines and taking a long look at them before sitting. just out of curiosity. ]
Yes. It's bare bones, but it's what I could gather in a week's time. It was still more than what I could get on the other side.
[ he's barely slept since his arrival just to recreate his own lab
he wanders off to a section that has a few more chemicals, but also a lot of stolen and cleaned materials from the hospital. he retrieves what he needs for a blood draw and starts to wander back ]
That's right. It'll pinch only momentarily. If you look away, you won't have to see the needle.
[ he'll bring the supplies over when he sits on the couch with her, putting them on the other side in case she doesn't want to see ]
I make my medicines here. I also have been running tests on the environment to understand the makeup of the landscape, to see if I can find any trace of magical energy. I treat people who are injured if they ask, and fulfill requests made of me like yours.

... I will try.

[ a little nervous. what even is modern medicine. ]
What else do you use this place for?

[ busy lab... ]

[ she'll take off her jacket and roll up her sleeve. she turns to face away, holding still as she keeps talking. ]
Have you found anything of interest in the environment?
no subject
Partially. It has more energy in flux than my own world, which makes sense given how volatile these manifestations can be.
[ we're going to spare kate the horrors of looking for her vein, so we'll say that scien is somehow able to find it and warns her briefly - ] Pinch.
[ and then keep talking as he draws her blood ]
Given that the machine failed last time because of how many unknowns we were working with, I wanted to get a head start on this.
no subject
That machine... I see. And that's what the people here have been gathering parts for. What will it be used for?
no subject
[ karma wants a doomsday device ]
no subject
I suppose we'll have to figure it out.
[ in the meantime, he will receive some of her pitch-black blood! other than the colour, all of its qualities seem the same as human blood. ]
no subject
That should give me enough to work with for now.
Now let's get you something sweet.
