[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.

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?

No. [He was using the small words.]

Which is why I'll need you to accept my reassurances that testing isn't inherently harmful just because it's difficult to grasp.

"Trust me, I'm a scientist?"

Nah. I know too many scientists.

Yes, of course. The mad scientist concocting malicious experimentation. [That isn't at all offensive.]

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.

Re: voice;

Of course.

If you'll excuse me, I've work to return to.

[Whether or not Shaun wants it to happen, Fitz closes the connection then. He's done his due diligence. There's no reason to consent to taking more of this.]
