Hey, check this out! New York's been attacked by a giant alien monster!Well, ok, that's not exactly news. But did I at least get your attention
( Read more... )
Bill! Got this computer workin', so I thought I'd say hi again.
So, about the monster...Big Momma, right? Any patterns on where she pops up or where she moves? My idea is, we don't need to get close to her at all. Fishin', right? Set up a lure, wait for a bite, and we've got ourselves a catch. In this case, though, it's alright if the main catch gets away.
'Course, that raises the question of what would make a good lure...and a good spot for it too. Still, we ought to brainstorm this, don'cha think?
We definitely don't want to be luring old maternus out if we can help it. Seeing her means big trouble for alot of people. The crab guys, well, not so bad. Hard to say what kind of food they're into. I mean, they bite people, but they don't seem to actually eat them.
Still, I'm pretty sure they're carnivores, since their mom up there dropped a half-eaten whale on us. Meat's a little hard to come by though, unless you're really into Spam.
Location though, that's an easy one. A huge number of crabs have taken up living in the subway tunnels. Set up near an entrance, and a crab or two is bound to show up.
Are the crabs really her young, though? They could just as easily be some kind of freeloader, so anything we do get from them isn't necessarily what we'd get from Big Momma.
Though, they'd probably be about as useful to analyze anyway. We should get on that sometime.
Nobody seems to know. I've been trying to catch one for a while. I'm not really a science expert, I'm just a science fan, so I've been doing my best to collect enough data that can be used later.
Anyway, spawn or pilot fish, the crabs really don't like getting caught. They're tough buggers too, so even outright killing them is difficult.
How about making an experiment out of the catching itself? We'll build ourselves a trap, and try whatever bait we can think of, and see what works! Even if our trap doesn't work, we'll still have learned something, and that's always a good thing.
Bill? My name is Freudia. I was speaking with that other gentleman who requested your presence on his journal. I know the location of several deceased parasites and am all but ready to transport them to you, if that is all right.
Excellent! I will begin moving them immediately. I have already hired someone to aid me in the transportation. The physics building at New York University, correct?
