Gate Chats With Another Scientist

[Below is an archived version of one thread response to a LiveJournal post here, because LiveJournal became hard to impossible for me to access. Icons and threading not preserved, nor are other peoples' replies. Some OOC commentary also removed.]

[Issek (in_the_cracks@livejournal.com)]
This fellow’s out of hiking gear and back in the Nexus, tweaking the settings on some kind of scanner. And occasionally tugging at the sleeves of his white lab coat, which he’s wearing over his more casual clothes but isn’t really comfortable in. He also has a question of his own this time.

“I am a neuroscientist,” he begins, “and I am curious about the possibilities of this place. Which of you would be interested in participating in a momentary scan of your nervous systems?”

Issek reflects on the peculiarities of humanoids for a moment, and then adds rather indifferently, “For science.”
