Nina was in one of the spare labs, setting up various equipment stamped with the SHIELD logo.

She looked incredibly happy.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 4:50 pm**

A knock came on the door.

"I've got an intercampus mail delivery for Nina Mada...Maderia....for a Nina?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 4:56 pm**

"Madaraki," Nina says, "Just set it down on the gurney."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 5:10 pm**

The delivery man set the thin brown envelope on said gurney, nodded, and left.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 5:58 pm**

After she finished setting up, Nina walked over and opened the envelope.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 6:04 pm**

A single sheet of paper, with one sentence typed on it.

Code: Select all: Miss me?

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 7:41 pm**

"I miss all my guinea pigs when they're gone," Nina says happily, setting the paper back down.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 7:42 pm**

"Ahh, how sweet," Will said, as he shifted back, sitting on the counter -- still 11 inches tall, for humorous effect.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:26 pm**

"Oh, good," Nina says, "My eleven inch pianist arrived."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:28 pm**

"Hello ma baby, hello ma honey, hello ma rag time, summertime gal..." Will sang, doing a bit of a high kicking, Michigan J Frog routine.

"You got the stuff?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:29 pm**

"No, I didn't bring any drugs. I wanted a clear head for this," Nina says.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:32 pm**

"Good plan, good plan," Will said, going to 'normal' height.

"So. What's the plan, ma man?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:35 pm**

"Fun stuff!" Nina says, opening a case. She takes out a small glass chamber filled with some unidentifiable liquid. There is also a head inside.

"Will, meet Fritz. Fritz, Will."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:35 pm**

"...Is Fritz something I should be concerned about?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:36 pm**

Nina laughs, "Of course not."

"He's dead. Dead people are usually harmless."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:37 pm**

"Was he dead when you found him?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:40 pm**

"That's classified."

Nina starts hooking Fritz into a larger apparatus.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:41 pm**

"Riiiiight," Will said. "Super creepy secret agent stuff. Gotcha."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:52 pm**

After finishing hooking everything up, Nina gets a clipboard and walks to Will's side.

"First things first, we're going to use the magnetic fields generated by the magnetic field thingy to see how your body responds."

"....to magnetic fields."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:53 pm**

"Well, that follows. Just be careful -- Sara ripped me in to chunks when she cranked it up too high," Will said, headed over to the magnetic field thingy for magnetic fields.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:56 pm**

"That's sort of the hope!" Nina says, as she throws the switch.

She's set up the fields to separate Will into two portions suspended in mid-air. By science.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 8:58 pm**

There was some unpleasant ripping and tearing, which we shall excuse description of for those weak in stomach and heart.

The end result was two Will Stantons, suspended in mid-air.

"My head..."

"Ugh, that was more fun when Janice did it."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:00 pm**

"Excellent!" Nina says, leaving them there, "Phase One: Complete!"

Nina scribbles something on the clipboard.

"How do you feel?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:04 pm**

"Queasy...definitley a bit queasy."

"By touching things, usually."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:15 pm**

"Interesting," Nina says, scribbling notes, "Now comes the trick

Nina starts setting up a screen between the two.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:18 pm**

"Is this the one where you saw a lady in half?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:20 pm**

"The shield is made of a dense polymaterial designed to block radio signals," Nina says, "It'll prevent one of you from being influenced while we're experimenting on the other."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:27 pm**

"Ooh, technobabble."

"Pick him! Pick him!"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:36 pm**

Nina finishes putting up the screen. She steps to the side that all the machinery is on.

"Now, I'm going to broadcast Fritz's suspended neural activity directly into your nanoprobes' receivers. If I'm right, this is going to be kind of cool."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:40 pm**

"What's this?" Will1 asked, concerned.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 9:53 pm**

"Don't worry," Nina says, "I'm pretty sure it's reversible."

"Although it might feel a lot like dying."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:00 pm**

"...OK?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:01 pm**

"Alright!" Nina says, "Broadcasting in 3...2....1....."

Nina presses the button.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:09 pm**

Will2 closed his eyes and shook and quivered -- and aged rapidly in front of her, wrinkles forming, hair falling out, a beer-gut forming, even a couple teeth being re-absorbed into his head.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:15 pm**

"Well."

"...That's not exactly what I was expecting."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:21 pm**

"Mmmm?" Will2 asked.

"What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?" Will1 asked.

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:25 pm**

"Oh, good, you're responsive," Nina says, getting out her clipboard, "Please, describe your experience for me."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:30 pm**

"I...remember cold. A long....cold..." Will2 said, in a raspy old man voice. "Why so cold?"

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:34 pm**

"Those are most likely the memories of being frozen," Nina says, "The neural activity I'm transmitting to you is from a brain that has been frozen since 1943."

Posted: **Thu Aug 08, 2013 10:41 pm**

"Neural? Don't really remember...just remember...so cold. And wet..."
