[Carly has not made a lot of time to really...Visit anyone. Jack is definitely more a superior type than a....catch up over tea type. To be fair, Olivia doesn't seem like the catch up over tea type either!

But she's Infinitely more approachable, if at least for those five minutes where she shows up and sees her in the cafeteria- or just catches her at the lab. Considering her official role is data entry one...wonders what she's doing on her own when no one's around.

Probably a lot. Go Olivia.

For now though, the door is being thrown open, and Carly is VERY excited.] Aaaaaah! I thought you'd be here..!

[She's also holding a Rock.]

[What is socialization, that sounds like something for people who aren't doing science.]

Ah, Carly, good to see you.

[...she's not actually looking up from whatever she's doing.]

What's that you've got there?

[oh my god a giant rock]

Iiiiiit's a fossil~!

[OH MY GOD IT'S BETTER THAN GIANT ROCK] I found it at the ruins after they got attacked~ I thought it'd look nice on my desk, but figured you might like to see it to!

...Also, I think I'll tell you about the next time this kind of thing happens because I got a lot of stuff actually... [It's wild, handed that shit out like candy...]

Oh, really? Which kind is it, do you know?

[Science? Science!]

It does sound like things got rather hectic, yes.

Eh? What kind?

Ahhh...

[She squints at it, and holds it out.] It seems like some sort of prismatic thing was trapped in the rock? It looks a bit like a wing almost...

Hectic is a way to put it, but it was worth it..! I made a lot just by being there...

May I see it?

[Which- is absolutely a feigned courtesy, she's just reaching over and taking it to examine.]

Eh? Oh! Yeah sure, [she answers, passing it over more properly. It's Definitely a sail fossil.

Neat.]

Hm-

[She takes a moment to examine the rock carefully.]

This is a very well-preserved specimen, see how the veining is still visible in the imprint? Did you find this on your own, or wasit oart of the- shenanigans?

Ehhh...sort of a mix I guess?

[She shrugs.] I just kind of found it after everything settled down. Sure seems like something that wouldn't have happened normally though...

Well, you know what they say about mouths and gift horses, presumably.

[Still looking over the fossil.]

You'll have a bit of a journey to get this cloned, but I imagine if you spin it properly the team may pay for it, at least.

[wait wat] Heh-

...Wait what? Cloning??

[Explain!!]

Mhm, these fossils tend to contain preserved genetic material of Pokémon. There's a facility in- Pewter City, I believe? -that can extract it and create a living clone of the original specimen.

Hehhhhh, seriously...

...mnnnh, I think I saw Pewter on the..Kanto map? ...I wanted to get through the map here first, but maybe after...

[Can't be that hard to get there right?] I feel like this is how we got that one dinosaur movie, somehow...

[She can't recall the name. It's probably Not jurrasic whatever though.]

Mesozoic Park? I believe it's the same basic premise, but much more accelerated.

Possibly due to more advanced technology, possibly due to Pokémon physiology.

I feel like it was a different name, but that could be localization...

[Or. Dimensions, but hey.] Maybe both? I mean, I have a ghost that keeps using my pokegear to try and send messages, and in my first month here I found something that turns into anything.

The book was better, but the effects were impressive.

[Probably both, honestly.]

Oh, really? Do you have it on you?

Mnh? The rotom or the ditto?

'Gear' is in my dorm right now... ...Ditto's just in the PC, I could log in from here probably.

The Ditto, if it's all right.

[She sets the fossil down carefully and slides over to a PC, powering it up.]

I've got a Rotom myself. Very useful, but I've been keeping it away from the lab equipment just to be safe.

Oh! Sure! [Alright, let's just get on in there...] Honestly I feel sort of bad for the little guy, I caught them but didn't really feel like they'd be good on the team...

That's probably a good idea with your rotom though; they're really tricky! I got lucky with Gear, they're at least a little responsible...ahhh...here!

[Ok, out comes the Ditto pokeball!] Ahhh...where's the best spot to let them out...

Hm, they're not that large, are they?

[Just a foot or two tall, she thinks?]

Not initially! I'm pretty sure they can copy any size perfectly though...

Hmmm...this table maybe? [It seems empty, but she's gotta ask, because...something something contaminants in a lab.]

One moment.

[She's just gonna grab a spray bottle of disinfectant and some paper towels and wipe down that table quick.]

That should do nicely.

[And tugging on some latex gloves because science..?]

Mmmmhmm! Okay!

Out you come..! [And out comes...Ditto!]

Dii!

[Gelatinous and friendly as ever.]

Fascinating. Hello there!

[Just kind of squatting a little to get on eye level with the Ditto, as you do. She gives it an exploratory poke.]

Carly says you can transform into just about anything, could you do that for us? Just pick something small around the lab and change.

Ditto di-?

[Just something in the room? Well, that's relatively easy! Hmmm....

Ditto becomes...The PC monitor!]

Oooo!

Hm.

[She considers this for a moment.]

I'm just going to try something-

[And just- does the DittoMonitor have all the right cords and stuff? Cause if so she's going to try plugging it into the PC and see if it actually works.]

[The result is instantaneous.

Mostly because, to the surprise of perhaps no one, a ditto cannot completely mimic the functions of a PC monitor cable.]

DI!! [Ditto is ditto again, and also part of ditto's 'arm' seems to be awkwardly against the PC.]

Mnnnnh, I guess they have limits somewhere in the end...
