[Given that some of the best scientists (in his world, at least) have been working at it for months and still have very little to show for it, Steve's in agreement that cracking the secret of Wonderland won't be easy. But maybe it's a problem that science can't solve.

Not that any scientist worth their salt would want to hear that, but sometimes you've got to think outside the box.

The mention of a new machine does sound promising, though. Darcy doesn't seem to have a lot of information, so Steve will just have to hope he can catch Jane and ask her about it personally. She's a bit more insular than Darcy, though, caught up in her work and all.]

I know that there really shouldn't be such a thing as magic, but that's the case where we're from. We might have to look at things from a different angle, here.

[Unlike his science friends, Darcy might not dismiss him out of hand. Steve takes another bite of pie and another sip of coffee as he awaits her answer.]
