05th anomaly ; video ; open

[dinosize]

Have you ever wondered what comes next? Evolutionarily. After humans.

[ Stephen is in his own cabin, a light and airy space that doesn't really seem to suit him. The camera is propped up on the edge of a sink, where he's washing out blood and dirt from the clothes he wore while out in the port.

He's not really looking at the camera. ]

Do you think humans could ever be a food source for another animal?

What do you have to do to get rid of them permanently?

[dinosize]

The creatures?

[lydiascreams]

Yes. Is there even a way?

[dinosize]

I don't know.

[lydiascreams]

If there's any kind of research you can do here, I can help.

[dinosize]

Funny. Lot of people curious about the anomalies here.

[lydiascreams]

Most of us come from worlds that have plenty of anomalies themselves.

[dinosize]

...yeah.

Not to mention they're an incredibly significant scientific discovery.

Sorry.

[ He doesn't even really know where that flare of suspicion came from. It doesn't seem related to her. ]

Frankly, I don't know I'm qualified enough to continue on my own.

[lydiascreams]

[She has no idea what to make of it either. Most of their conversations so far have been friendly.]

Offer still stands. I'm technically still in High School, but I've always been science-minded and an autodidact.

[dinosize]

What sort of things have you studied yourself?

[lydiascreams]

In depth? I know most romantic languages including archaic Latin. And lately I've been reading a lot about mythology.

As for science related subjects, I tend to focus on my AP classes.

[dinosize]

Then there's a brand new, much more fascinating world for you to explore.

[ In his opinion, of course. ]

I went to school to save the planet. Hasn't really worked out so far. You know how many species humanity wipes out in a given year?

[lydiascreams]

Oh I'm aware. I''m working on exploring it. [Like reading on quantum physics during her spare time.]

I think the answer to that question will vary depending on your world.

[dinosize]

It's a lot.

[lydiascreams]

Anything you're willing to share?

[dinosize]

Any extinct species?

[lydiascreams]

Knowledge in general.

[dinosize]

You'd like to learn evolutionary biology?

[lydiascreams]

I do know plenty about evolution. And not just the crap they feed you at school.

But somehow I imagine you have a much more in-depth knowledge of the matter?

[dinosize]

I've worked as a teaching and research assistant quite a bit. I could show you a few things.

[lydiascreams]

Great! Just let me know when and where.
