The more the merrier. Expert opinions are always welcome, provided they come with the appropriate credentials. Which, in this case, I think they do. I'll send over the tech notes that Tico's sent to me; Myk can run ideas past me or straight to him (ticonderoga@banzai-institute.org). Don had to go out-of-pocket for a bit; there's a drilling rig off of the Aleutians that's having some problems, and International Rescue's on the case. He should be back in a day or so. He left us Thunderbird-1, so we can at least get some of the preliminary tests out of the way.
We're taking as much care as we can about contamination. All 'wavium is currently under the Institute's standard security protocols for the stuff, which given the League's attempts to screw with us during OGJ, is tight. We're running a mockup with something suitably visible first; Nez suggested acrylic paint, but we need to make sure it doesn't clog the sprayers first. It's all in the tech notes. Personally, I'm concerned about the catch barriers permeability and how the whole thing is going to react to the atmospherics of the Big Blue Marble. Isolated lab tests do not accurately mock Hibernian weather conditions.
Anyway, gotta get back to the kitchen. This sauerbraten's not going to cook itself.

He's interested in seeing the test, but I sense a *LOT* of skepticism from him about being able to deliver 'wavium without a lot of contamination of the surrounding countryside. Yes, he's paranoid and cynical, but you have to be when you train people to handle Goop without accidentally getting a biomod in the process, and still manage to get at least two biomods per class because the students don't listen.
OK, so maybe I'm a bit cynical. But I can watch without having to worry about protective gear these days. Expect to see him in a getup that would be at home in the Andromeda Strain movie, though.
