[Research]

I think we should hire Ernestine Waters.

I graduated from high school at 14 through an online program, so no. Were you the type of bored teenager who thought it would be a good idea to mail every employee at the nearby research station?

You were never seventeen and bored in your masters' program?

No, but that would've been a lot more productive than the things I actually did.

Oh, frequently. But I conducted private experiments instead of bothering people I wanted to impress. At seventeen, I had the sense to know my brain had yet to fully develop.

Graffiti and petty theft?

Well, we can't all be that self-aware.

No comment.

It's my curse to be sensible beyond my years.

Fine, you're right. A seventeen-year-old whose primary obsessions appear to be stalking scientists and reading cutting-edge Liminal research is meant to spend time with the likes of us.

I knew you'd come around.

I can always use someone new to test my illusions on.

After reading this, I immediately changed my mind. I think we need to give her a chance.

You can babysit her, then.

Did you need a babysitter at that age?

Maybe if you're in a government lab.

Someone will have to watch her. It's irritating enough to have research assistants underfoot.

I just suggested she could be allowed to visit. I can sacrifice a single afternoon to being a tour guide.

Perfect. She'll be in no danger of becoming enamoured with working here with you as company.

But if we really wanted to cinch it and make sure she gave up on her dreams completely, I could bring her by your office.
