NOTIFICATION/REPORT #2 || BACKDATED TO 10-10 AFTERNOON

Attention: Hadriel Residents
Subject: Dragxkdksoe


[ Abruptly, the text is posted, with a video immediately following, the screen initially shaking, jostling, as one voice protests in the background ]

Newton, give it back--!!

--we’re talking about dragons, Hermann! There’s no way you’re doing this in a stuffy text post!

[ The video stabilizes a bit, currently held just out of reach of one (1) Hermann Gottlieb. The arm holding said phone out of reach belongs to one (1) Newt Geiszler. It’s debatable how long he’ll be able to keep it out of Hermann’s grasp, but he sure is going to try.]

[ For a petulant, tortured moment Hermann sincerely looks as though he is about to lunge for the phone, a matter of aggrieved principle and standard outrage. Yet, 1.53 seconds and he thinks better of it. They are recording. He would be seen looking foolish.

Hermann grits his teeth and straightens, standing up, all stiff professionalism as he leans on his cane. He has rarely used video. He hates this. Newton will hear about it later, once the video is off. ]


Fine. As you may know, I am Dr. Gottlieb, that is my colleague--

(Boyfriend!)


[ They are recording. A muscle works in his jaw, but Hermann swallows his protest, resists the urge to throw something at or strangle Newton, and continues-- ]

--Dr. Geiszler. In our world, we worked in Kaiju Science, which to put it succinctly, means we studied the behemoth -- larger than these dragons, I assure you -- alien creatures invading our world, and aided the development and design of offensive and defensive weaponry.

We are requesting data--


[and that’s about the time Newt’s managed to prop the camera up somewhere, and pops fully into view.]

--basically I want any info anyone has about the dragons! Flight patterns, movements, where they’re hanging out, their favorite color--seriously, anything and everything. You notice it, I wanna know it! Aaaaand if you can get scales or something, that’d be super helpful. Or any other bits. The more there is to analyze, the more likely it is that we’ll be able to throw something together.


[and tbh that’s about as much of serious professional as Newt is going to be able to get before really yeah okay he has to fold and his face splits into a wide grin] Also real, live dragons, you guys. Dragons! This is seriously some King Arthur level shit! How cool is this?!

[ observe the look of deep, deep, depthless chagrin as it settles into the lines of Dr. Gottlieb's face, lines carved by almost seven years of this.

LOUDLY: ]


Videos if they may be safely obtained, observations, specifics, as specific as possible. Note the effectiveness of your standard weaponry, or whatever it is you can do and use. The scales would, indeed, be particularly helpful.

Be safe, but be quick and be thorough.


Yeah, don’t die while doing it. That’d be dumb.


...Right. The sooner, the sooner we may be able to put something together.

So, like….chop chop and stuff. Thanks! K-Sci, out!


[aaand yep gonna turn off that video now, though because he’s Newt, he’s continuing to talk as he’s reaching to do so--]

Though maybe it should be D-Sci since it’s dragons and not kaiju--


Please, perhaps once you've studied them for a decade, and you can't--


[--click!]

[ooc: i'm so sorry (nikki isn't) but plz help!! -- they'd have mentioned DRAGON PIES WTF but backdated) ]

Then I'm afraid there will not be enough time. Henry and I are departing immediately.

[She pauses, thinking.]

When this is over, we will speak.

Damn. [Newt chews on his bottom lip] Are you going scouting or what?
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-17 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
We will scout before we act, of course.

Alright. [Newt makes a frustrated noise, looking around the kitchen area]

...what kind of detonators are you looking for, exactly?
mismanagement: (004)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-20 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Long range would be preferable. I don't know what your world traditionally uses, but my skills with such things are limited.
fortunefavored: ((09))

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-20 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, long range is usually the best...[Newt chews on his lip]

...shit, no, we just don't have the supplies here for that. I mean, we could throw together a molotov cocktail or something but that's about it at this point. For a long range detonator, we'd basically need to build it with a broadcaster and receiver. We can build that stuff, we just need the right parts, and we don't have those here.

[Damn it. Maketh frowns, considering.]

I took apart some of the tech that came through with me. Most of it was ruined, but a few components were still viable. There's no time for it now, but when this is done I will deliver it to you. Perhaps some use can be found for it.

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-22 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Newt brightens visibly at the suggestion of more tech] That would be awesome. Then maybe we can make something ahead of time for the next time something big and gross comes through that door.
mismanagement: (Default)

[personal profile] mismanagement 2016-10-22 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That was my hope. [She almost smiles, but doesn't.] I will deliver it to you when this is done. You may do with it as you wish. The components are of no use to me.

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-23 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Great! Let me know when you're heading over, okay? And uh...good luck and stuff. [that last bit is said in a way where it's...well...it's Newt. It's both casual and sincere at the same time]

[She gives him a faint smile.]

I will. Stay safe.
