With an arm load of science books, even the one that had been mangled on her second day at the institute, Aleida walked down the hall towards the science lab. There were things to be done, things to be studied, plus she didn't have anything better to do. Her friend quotient was exactly where she liked it, at zero, but it did tend to make for a rather boring day. She wouldn't have minded a run-in with Kase, even, if it meant having something to do all day. Luckily for her, there had been some new discoveries and theories in science field, and she didn't see why she couldn't very well test them herself.

Turning into the science lab, Aleida stopped short. She had not been expecting anyone to be in there, and the sight of Jacob startled her a bit. She juggled her books to keep from dropping them in her surprise, attempting to appear as unfazed as possible. While she did not manage to pass with flying colors, not dropping her books was a small win on her side and she quickly composed herself. Regaining her stoic expression, Aleida ( ... )

Although he had heard her coming and entering, Jacob was busy tying the weights to strings to properly greet her until she spoke. "Oh, hey, Aleida." He glanced up at her armload of books with an appreciative smile. Another science nerd? Or at least, a student who was going to work on science? That was nice even if they would just be staring at their own work and scribbling in silence.

When he went back to his work, her question surprised him and he paused. "Oh! Just a physics assignment. Calculating the speed of waves along a string. Using these weights and this frictionless pulley." He grinned. "What are you going to work on?" he returned the question with interest.

Another science nerd? Indeed. Aleida lacked passion for just about everything except science. It got her thinking and gave her hope that everything could be explained eventually. Even the fact that all her and scientists work could have been for nothing, as proposed by Mr. Hawking, did not faze her. She would not even entertain the idea, so how could it possibly faze her ( ... )

It was true. Jacob Caldwell did love science. It was just something that he could understand, unlike human behavior and politics, and as a mutant interested in his own evolution, he was curious as to how and why things worked as well as why they were the way they were. Someday he wished he could be as awesome and notable as Mr. Hawking, or even Dr. McCoy of the Institute, but right now, he was perfectly content dabbling in the Science Lab ( ... )
