Shoot for Earth: MedSci Missions 3

“This is a really large storage closet,” Scott said, evaluating the space in the storage room between his lab and his boss Weinz’s. Eagerly, he called out, “Sir!” There was a muffled response, so he said to Savna, who’s tail was wrapped around him, “Let’s go talk to him.”

Savna walked with him into the next room. “Professor,” Scott said, “I think we can turn the storage room into a lab for Savna. She should have her own space.”

Weinz recorded something, then set down his viewer and looked up. “Well, I agree she should have her own lab. Good think something positive has come of all this you being banned for a while to the alien planet thing. You did bring home an excellent researcher.”

“It was an easy decision to come,” Savna said. “I was shunned from my lab at home. To do any more work on Fbar, I would have to be carefully supervised by a mentor. It would be very frustrating.”

“Hmm,” Weinz said. “Given your boyfriend’s history, he’ll be rather carefully observed by me, and considering your association with him and your being new here, I’ll have to supervise you carefully for a while, too.”

“I expected that,” Savna said, “but that’s not like being shunned.”

“I’ll take your word on that,” Weinz said. “So about this closet…who’s going to move all the supplies, and where will they go?”

“Yeah, look at all the room there is under our lab benches,” Scott said, pointing. “I’ll re-stack, with help from maintenance. Engineering can help build a counter in there around the wash sink”

“I’ll re-stack, too,” Savna said with enthusiasm.

Weinz took a peek under the counter. “I see what you mean. All right, sounds like a plan. Write it up and give it to the DOR. He turned to Savna. “I look forward to welcoming you to your new lab!”
