"Mm?" Soyeon would look up as a voice spoke up to her. To be completely honest, she was so far in the zone that she hadn't even noticed that the clock had changed from the time it had read before, being about 9:26. But standing before her would be a well dressed(?) man in a blazer and Spinda inspired attire. She found it charming and adorable, letting out a soft chuckle at the attire while she'd flash a smile at the man before her. "Ah, Mr. Young. It's quite an honor to meet one-on-one with somebody such as yourself. Thank you for fitting me into your schedule." Her hand fell into his, shaking it with a certain firmness that one gave who knew their way around professional meetings. Soyeon hadn't listened to any kind of music of his as she was much more of a classic woman herself. Outside of that, she was a bit of a novice. After all, she just recently understood what EDM was!

Soyeon looked back down at her laptop as she'd slide it over to show Callan. There wasn't really any threat of showing any important documentation, but more so making graphs and putting an image to their findings. Callan would see several views of one strange looking mushroom brought up across the desktop of a kind of plant "Not a breakthrough, persay, but we've uncovered quite the sample from the latest expedition into the Ultra Crater. It's an odd finding for sure, but one that's special. See, it has some rather odd property of having cells that have regenerative properties. But these aren't as specific to the Ultra Crater as their kind, meaning that should we provide a suitable climate and such, it may be possible to see what allows them that property. Meaning that we may possibly have some way of replicating it for related fungi."

Soyeon caught herself as she would cautiously part some hair from her ears, her cheeks flushed a tad. "Sorry. I tend to ramble a bit at times...But that's what I've been busy with as of late. So did you wish to speak about Ultra Space?"

Callan Young

Soyeon couldn't say that it wasn't an interesting application of the sciences. "A noble endeavor. " She commented, stricken with a sense of curiosity about the everyday applications of what Ultra Space had to offer.

"Although, I must warn you, even if you've heard it before, this is a dangerous frontier that you've set your sights on. No matter how much we colonize or grow familiar with it, Ultra Space is still incredibly dangerous. There are things we have yet to learn, even after countless expeditions inside. That being said…"

The woman smiled at Callan, finishing off the final remnants of her coffee while setting it down next to the other empty ones. "I would be more than willing to assist you, but first, what kinds of projects would you need my research to help with? If you have any specifics, I can point to work I've done that should prove useful to you."

Callan Young

While she had only been fairly interested in what Callen was talking about. But as her eyes scanned over the pictures shown to her, her interest was piqued. One more than the other, but commercializing both did have their own sort of opportunities for people. Her face leaned closer towards the pictures, an awestruck expression firmly plastered on her face. She focused on the first thing shown off while processing what she had just been told.

"Fascinating. By the general appearance, I'd have to really guess that this must be a mineral of some kind. But producing worm holes when they're destroyed is what has really piqued my interest. Do the wormholes created by this last for a set duration, or does it vary depending on the sample? How stable are the wormholes? Is it a one way travel method or can it go both ways?" Her barrage of questions at Callan launched and only continued as the adhesive was shown next.

"Ah, Naganadel adhesive. Although the mild discoloration as well as being made from their fluids and not the byproduct does make it look different than its regular poison." She rubbed her chin in thought, staring at the picture while debating on whether or not another person she knew could have something worth noting about this. "I have a colleague that has put a theory forward that could assist you. It's not been proven or disproven for its...methods that would be needed to verify, but it involves Poipole and Naganadel biology. His assertion is, theoretically of course, that their genetic make up contains a more concentrated and stronger adhesive than the kind they're known for. And that the process of chambering and expelling that adhesive from their body dilutes it by only a minor amount. An honest sort of theory, but I think you can guess as to why it's remained a theory for so long."

Callan Young

He had actually brought samples of both with him?! Soyeon watched as he'd show the case by his feet with cautious but optimistic eyes. "Not my own, but i have several favors to use back at the university that I can call in. If you'll follow me, Mr. Young." Soyeon quickly packed her laptop up and cleaned off the table before leaving with the man in tow. Her heels clacked along the ground while they traveled to their destination.

They arrived at the university campus as Soyeon would be able to rub her shoulders with the right people and get a proper laboratory that was private from the rest. They went inside as Soyeon turned the plastic flag outside to a red color, signaling that the room was currently in use. She then looked to Callan and nod her head along, motioning to the briefcase.

"There, that should give us some needed privacy. Now then, if you'll do us the honors, Mr. Young. I'll be right beside you."

Callan Young

Such a fascinating case, more even with the contents that it held. Soyeon had to be pulled back by Callan while he'd demonstrate the usage of the ore sample before her. The chunk was thrown against a wall and then promptly exploded all over the laboratory. She held her hands up to deflect from whatever may come to her but was left amazed as the crystals would follow the trail of flame into a brilliant, even if somewhat disturbing, crystalline build.

"You've used it to seal rifts?" Soyeon asked, taking a closer look at the undisturbed samples in the box with confusion. Still, she was quite excited about studying this kind of thing. Callan would be able to see her awkward but excited little hops and bouncing as she'd go super into detail about things he likely already knew. After babbling about Ultra Space a little more, she'd carefully take the samples and (extremely gently) place them into their own little cases. "I've actually got a bit of a theory. But it will require some finesse."

She motioned to the chunks in front of Callan. "Now, I don't want to ask you to blow up a perfectly good laboratory, but could you get me a small part of the crystals on the sample without causing another explosion?"

Callan Young

Soyeon's eyes perked up upon seeing the Iron Galiant, her nerdish demeanor showing full force as she'd fawn over the Pokémon's appearance. With a few slashes of the blades on its arms, Soyeon cautiously plucked a sample of the ore from the ground and made her way over towards some of the microscopes on a nearby table. Always the busy bee she was. Still, she'd motion for Callan to follow her while she got to work almost immediately. Her Bulbasaur, meanwhile, would remain busy resting on her briefcase and guarding it from anybody who may try and take it by napping on it.

"I may need some capital." Soyeon answered as she'd adjust the settings on the instrument, holding an eye down while looking for an preliminary sights of any little details that stood out to her. "I'll need to see if I can find a geologist and have them take a look at the samples. And I'd also need time to actually devote to studying where these came from. But a little help wouldn't hurt." Her eyes looked up from the microscope to meet Callan and-

At his question, she felt her mind come to a halt. He was asking her out, definitely. She hadn't been asked out, rather the askee, so the feeling was entirely new. Stunned, Soyeon's brain racked up how she should answer. The doctor certainly wasn't into guys but was she going to agree to this date and just fake it all the way? Soyeon was visibly shaken by the question but looked away, frowning. "I...ah, apologize, Mr. Young. I'm...Uh, guys- I mean." she stammered up, a flush on her face. "I'm not looking for a relationship right now. But we can meet for dinner tonight as colleagues...if you wish."
