Tillie was thankful she’d taken up exercising again, because a few months ago Quinn’s impact might have thrown her onto the floor, and that would have just been [i]so[/i] embarrassing. But, she kept herself vertical and threw her arms around Quinn as well with an absolutely delighted laugh. She’d been warned that things might be tense, or a bit dreary, but Tillie knew better; she knew an unbreakable spirit when she saw one. That’s why Quinn was her favorite! 

When they parted, it took Tillie’s suit a few moments to re-inflate. “[color=f26522]Same![/color]” she beamed. “[color=f26522]I was [i]so[/i] worried at first, cause I don’t know [i]any[/i] Casobani and, I know everyone speaks Common but—oh! Uhm! But everyone’s been so nice![/color]”

She really had expected worse. Plenty of techs back on the Aerie still treated her like an undergrad, and weren’t too thrilled about her getting selected for duties she got. Her senior assured her she’d earned the spots, but what if the Casobani techs didn’t think so either? But, the whole team here had deferred to her pretty quickly, especially after they saw the face. 

“[color=f26522]Oh![/color]” Quinn’s question and her own memory collided at once. “[color=f26522][i]Ablaze[/i] is great! Uhm! Transport seems like it went fine, and all the readings came back as even as ever! Yeah. When I showed up though, there were [i]so[/i] many inquiry reports about the, y’know, eye deal. I told’em what we know—which is basically nothin’, but…[/color]”

She gestured up to the Savior, and the field study being conducted on the scaffolds around its face. “[color=f26522]They wanna keep running some tests. Uhm! I don’t blame them! I wanna run tests too. We’ve never seen a partial regeneration block like this before, it’s so cool! Is it even a block? What if it’s a genetic anomaly with your Savior? Or some kind of mirroring adaptation? It could be a mutation! Or—oh! What if we could replicate the effect, and spread it to other Modir?[/color]” Tillie giggled excitedly, but caught herself before she went on rambling anymore. 

“[color=f26522]But yeah! Uhm! As far as I’ve been told, I’m just supposed to treat this like business as usual! So, is there anything you need?[/color]”
