[The Astrophysics lab is a bit of a mess at the moment, covered in alarming mechanisms that aren't fully installed yet. To keep people from jumping to conclusions, Fitz is opting for an audio-only message today.]

Apologies for the interruption. I just wanted to give ample notice that the lab will be performing some testing on this coming Friday. Please be advised that the fourth floor might be excessively noisy during the proceedings. We won't be working with anything particularly dangerous, so please don't be alarmed by anything you hear.

We're quite sorry for any inconveniences this might cause. It might be a good day to stay outside to avoid the noise pollution.

Thank you for your time.

It's not science I mistrust. It's the lack of transparency.

[This isn't new, but the way her nails are digging into her palms alerts her it may be a little bit more personal than before.]

Call me paranoid, but as the product of a secret government cloning lab I think I've earned that.

I'm a journalist. So yes. [It's literally her job.]

You do realize that obfuscating and being, I might add, extremely condescending about the ability of laypeople to comprehend your work makes your "loud but not dangerous" project only makes me more convinced there's a story here, right? If this is so harmless, why won't you tell me what it is you're doing?

Then I'm sure you won't mind me coming down to take a look at this molehill for myself. Since there's nothing to report on and all.

I absolutely do. [There's an edge to her voice.] You're a scientist. If you're any good at your job you wouldn't accept someone's word without facts to back it either.

Dude, disclosure is usually the best policy with George. She's not going to let it go.
adaptiveimmunities: (be right with you)

I mean, I don't care if you're blowing shit up down there, but your neighbors probably will. So announcing is probably a good idea, but without any details... people--like my sister--are probably gonna ask a few clarifying questions.

And she absolutely interrogates people in everyday conversation.

She's a journalist, man. It's what she does. I don't think I'd call it a problem.
adaptiveimmunities: (you sure about that?)

Well, you've never announced that you were going to get noisy before.

So what kind of stuff do you do when you're not being noisy and exciting?

Okay, well, let's pretend that in my world the only science anyone cares about anymore is biology, virology, and epidemiology, and that I wasn't the world's best student. Are there smaller words you can use?
adaptiveimmunities: (Really?)

"Trust me, I'm a scientist?"

Nah. I know too many scientists.

Who used the word "malicious?" It wasn't me. And I prefer my scientists mad anyway. At least they're straight with me. It's the government ones you have to worry about.
