[Video] Saturday: Week 77

[Bruce is taking a rare break in Tony and Pepper's apartment, helping himself to a cup of tea in the kitchen. There are a bunch of notes spread out on the table, so it's not a real break, but it's as close as he gets.]

Before I...disappeared, I offered to lecture on various topics that might be useful to people here, regardless of where or when they come from. I used to teach physics several years ago, but I could also cover things like engineering, first aid, gardening, chemistry and biology, etc. Whatever you'd like to learn about. And obviously I don't know everything, so people would be welcome to do lectures of their own.

[Locked to Pepper and Tony]

Sorry I haven't managed to find a new place yet; it's still on my list of things to do. Maybe before I leave next weekend...Bones and I are going to offer medical assistance to the bandits, so maybe they won't feel the need to raid the hospital.

[Locked to Wes]

I might have a solution for your satellite problem.

I'd like to learn anything offered. I'm not sure I could teach classes in it, but if anyone already has an understanding in either Ancient Greek writing or cryptography, I could give lessons in Themysciran writing, or at least create a basic guide.

[She includes a scan of a page from her journal, which is full of very, very tiny pictographic script in different colours of ink]

This one page contains about the equivalent of six pages of English writing. I find it to be a very useful form of shorthand.

On top of the combat lessons I give, I could also offer teachings in meditation and the philosophy of my people.

I'd only be useful with that one language, but I've been told it takes an understanding of either Greek or cryptography to study it beyond basic writing. My friend Etta back home had volumes of notes on the subject of Themysciran writing, she was determined to find a way to use it in intelligence work somehow.

As for meditation, if you've ever practiced Tai Chi, my people have a few forms very similar incorporating movement and forms originally based in martial arts that you may be interested in.

We have a... unique history. Most of our culture and philosophy, as a result stems from building peace from the ashes of war and enslavement.

Well, from come across in my previous... multiversal interactions, [there is a slightly, slightly pained tone to that one, there's a reason back home anything involving the Multiverse tends to get deemed a Crisis] my people are often a constant in Greek mythology, even if the actual... ah... details get very skewed by Man's World.

Themyscira is home to the Amazons. I'm sure you'd find our culture quite interesting, we've only very recently, in historical terms, opened up communication with the rest of the world.

Seal off an island of immortal women-warriors in paradise for fifteen hundred years or so, and you get some very interesting works of art, poetry, philosophy... [and then, as an afterthought] and some recipes for wine that would knock Dionysus on his ass. There was almost an international incident when my mother sent a case of that to congratulate the royal family of some small country or another on the birth of their granddaughter. They thought she had tried to poison them.

My home reality is kind of... prone to incursions with alternate versions of itself.

We once fought a version of my friend who was mad at us for not being like the versions of us who he grew up reading in his comic books. It would have been laughable if not for the carnage.

You... you really don't want to know about the cartoon animals.

Signals have to come from somewhere. And with everything... there cant' be that many frequencies in use any more.

And all we really have to eliminate is the signals from our comms, which we can figure out easily

The usual suspects, Kaidan and Tony. And we've got Luke to run central communications.

They might decide they want to keep you.

[Which he knows full well Bruce - and Bones, for that matter - can deal with. The cost of those dealings, though, that's a concer.]

Unless someone's been burying news, taking captives doesn't seem to be their typical MO, but there's a first time for everything.

The polymer armor the locals like has some impressive stopping power. Won't help if anyone decides an execution's the way to go, but it couldn't hurt in a fire fight.

Maybe there will be a smart one in the group.

[There's a distinct grim note beneath his offhand tone. His own experiences with outlaw factions don't make that feel promising.]

Would be willing to assist. Some experience. [sniff] Children's science programming.

Important work, teaching children science.

[And they had certainly learned some interesting things on that episode of Science Fun Today]

Beginners simpler to instruct than undergraduates.

Having been through my allotted share of hospital raids, I'm all in favour of things that might prevent the next one.

[Pepper is located somewhere across town by the backdrop, thus explaining why she's calling back rather than climbing the stairs up to the apartment.]

That said... I have to admit to some general curiosity about the bandits. If you learn anything not covered under a medical cone of silence, I wouldn't mind catching up. Be safe, all right?
