Group Theory and Experimentation

"Hey, could you hand me that micrometer?"

The Labs had definitely taken shape over the past few months. What once was a large empty basement was now abuzz with diodes and tracks, makeshift displays made out of old televisions and projectors. Gordon was proud of how far it had come, and he was thankful for Ronnae's help. The half-elf was startlingly brilliant.

He was thankful for Shantae being there too, but, to put it gently, that had nothing to do with helpfulness. She was a walking disaster in the lab, but she was such a lovely disaster that it was well worth cleaning up after her. Besides, she was getting better. They haven't accidentally summoned any monsters in weeks...

Shantae had figured out that the best place for her to be while in the lab with Gordon was sitting at the side. Ever since that time she decided to surprise him by wearing just a lab coat for him, she figured out that PERHAPS he didn't need her help. That poor monster... Instead, she sat on a desk, kicking her legs, watching the scientists work with rapt attention. She was fascinated by what they were doing, even if she didn't understand it beyond the absolute basics.

"So you guys are working on a laser...?" she asked, hoping she understood.
