Holy mother of Gawd, this "simple experiment" is turning out to be so t3h expen$ive. Current budget: $47,125.00. Damn. And that's without salaries and readily available equipment and chemicals factored in. There's a bit over $1000 for actual specialized equipment. The rest is patient compensation, travel expenses, biopsy procedures, and long term monitoring. I BSed about half that budget, so it's probably on the low side. Ima have the most expensive experiment in class! YEAH!

All done and with half an hour to spare. I'm sitting here listening to a song that reminds Ethan of Kansas. plotbunny_tiff wrote me a mini-omake for the image it gave me.

Three years with only a few hastily scribbled postcards to show for it, and here she was: the same quirky smile, the same cheerful wave. There was a new hesitation in her eyes though, a guardedness in her posture, as if she wasn’t sure if she should speak or fly away. He quickly settled into his normal expression of grouchiness, and asked how her trip to Mars had been. Somehow, that was just right, because he found himself almost knocked over from the force of her flying hug. He wondered briefly if the moisture he felt on his neck came from her, or the rain.
