No more sun please.

‎ ‎ yaaaawn. ‎

‎ ( a shake of the head , hmph ! this won’t do . . . ) hm. . . well, if you aren’t feeling very good, maybe something bland would be a smart choice. i think we have a toaster somewhere. some kind of bread. . . maybe a bagel ? ‎

ㅤ thank you, auntie mei! i’ve actually been meaning to try coffee from earth! my mother always said it’s much better than what we could grow on mars. ㅤ

‎ i made a pot of coffee for headquarters. . . ! ‎

⠀ it . . . wasn't taught to me traditionally, i'm afraid. ( they point a finger to their eye-socket. ) it was the result of a lobotomy— a life-altering operation that granted me all known and unknown "talents" which mankind possessed. ⠀

‎ oh ! i didn’t realize that you are meant to dig. ‎

‎ why are they in the ground ? ‎

‎ goodness. i couldn’t imagine being in school for such a long amount of time. ( she. . . has a bit of a misunderstanding about how they earned such qualifications. ) you could do many things with an array of skills like that. you only really need to master one if you’re passionate about it. ‎

⠀ to a degree, i * am a scientist. in a sense, i'm a jack of all trades. proficient in all fields, but master of none. ( though, in reality, this was more of a white lie than anything. they far surpassed the brilliant minds of overwatch and talon combined— but this was on a need-to-know basis. ) ⠀

‎ ‎ i. . . still have yet to really learn the extent of the controversy around overwatch. but i believe that they still have the worlds best interest at heart, even if they have made some mistakes. i am curious, are you also a scientist? with this kind of proficiency, you must be ! ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ Considering your affiliation with a group as renowned and... to a degree, as despised as the likes of Overwatch, it is only natural I'd have prior knowledge of your name, at bare minimum. Regardless, the pleasure is mine. It's not often i meet someone of your prestige in the scientific field. ⠀

‎ ‎ it’s a pleasure to meet you. i apologize that im not really making the best first impression. . . ( removing her glasses, palms rubbing at the inner corners of her eyes. ) i’ll get all of my things together and try again tomorrow. i hadn’t realized my reputation preceded me ! ‎

‎ well, it’s all just climate data. . . i would hate to dump so much labor onto anyone other than myself, let alone a stranger. ( another long yawn. ) mmn. okay, maybe. . . ( * 💤 ) ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ if you'd like, i could, uh... help with that. unless there's things in your log better left to your discretion. ⠀

‎ . . . oh, right. ( * 💧 ) i should make a better effort to keep better track of my things. it’s bad data keeping practice. things could get out of order, and theres so many things i could misread — just thinking about it makes me queasy . . . ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ that's good to hear. at least * something is going right. ⠀

‎ that’s right ! er — how did you know ? ( . . . forgetful of the fact her work is quite literally sprawled in front of her. ) i’m supposed to keep track of weather patterns and take note of anomalies. . . thankfully, nothing alarming has come as of late. ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ ah... that's right. you * are a climatologist, aren't you? among other things. ( they appear relatively uninterested in her line of work given the dryness of their voice, but it's quite the contrary. ) data recovery happens to be something i excel at. ⠀

‎ ah, no — that’s okay. i think i can finish this quickly. . . it’s only climate modeling. i’m lucky it’s not any data recovery work. ( * 💧 ) ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ i see. given your line of work, i imagine the burden is quite heavy. . . ( with a resigned exhale, they cross their arms and lean against a nearby wall. ) is there anything i could do to assist you? ⠀

‎ not when i have so much work left to do ! i’m sure i could go for a few more hours. . . ‎

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒋𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒌𝒂𝒎𝒖𝒌𝒖𝒓𝒂.@kamukura.tranquility.social · last mo.

⠀ oh, no need to apologize. i did, in a way, sneak up on you. i would be more concerned if you weren't startled. ⠀
