[Sara's Lab] F'n Wills, How Do They Work?

"GnnnnnAAA" *Thunk*

*Thunk*

*Thunk* *Thunk* *Thunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunkthunk*

"Will! Are you okay? What's wrong?" she says, hitting the emergency shutdown button before rushing to the machine.

Clumps of clay stuck to the side and top of the machine, apparently having been ripped out by the sheer force of the magnetism. The metallic nodes themselves had remained bonded to the clay -- but they had tugged large chunks of it right out of Will, who lay there panting and groaning, full of holes.

"Ohgodohgodohgod! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Will!" she says, manually pulling the bench out of the machine.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:31 pm

"Unnnnghh...." Will moaned in response.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:33 pm

She reaches into the machine and grabs one of the lumps of clay, putting it back into Will. "I'm sorry... I just wanted to make you well..."

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:36 pm

"OK, that....that's

That's probably...probably something you should write down. That....ok, maybe we shouldn't...I mean...."

"Ow."

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:38 pm

"No more magnets. Got it." she says, continuing to pack clay back into the holes like she was trying to put humpty-dumpty back together.

by **Will Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:50 pm

"What...what the hell happened?" Will groaned.

To Sara's relief, the clay seemed to be re-absorbing just fine.

by **Sara Stanton** » Thu Jan 24, 2013 11:56 pm

"It... it ripped them out of you alright. They just... kinda didn't separate from you first..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:25 am

"Well, why the hell did THAT happen?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 10:28 am

"I don't know... They must be bonded on the molecular level."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:31 pm

"Well, THAT'S not good. How do we, uh....un-bond them?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:35 pm

"I don't know... I need to look through the files we have again. They must have documented how they applied them..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:40 pm

"But, there must be a way to, y'know, UNapply them, right?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:42 pm

"Yeah, I just don't know how."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:45 pm

"Well...maybe some kind of....I don't know, surgical method?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 2:49 pm

"No idea... They'd still have to stick somehow. And if you try to remove them bit by bit they'd just replicate themselves."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:11 pm

"Damn...."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:13 pm

"Maybe a high-powered EMP pulse could disable them, but I'd be worried about scrambling your nerve signals."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:17 pm

"OK, yeah, scrambling my nerves is probably NOT a good thing to do. Let's...let's avoid that."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:19 pm

"Exactly, so I don't know..." she sighs.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:27 pm

"Could we like.... separate them somehow? Like oil and water?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 3:28 pm

"That's what I tried here." she says, glancing into the MRI machine.

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:22 pm

"Well...maybe there's another way to do it?" Will said, hopefully.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:24 pm

"I don't know. This is, like, half biology and half engineering."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:25 pm

"Well...I don't know anything about EITHER of those things."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:29 pm

"And I only know about one of them and the actual problem is some kinda machine, even if they're on a cellular scale..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:31 pm

"So, what do you propose?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:33 pm

"We need help."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:01 pm

"No, I need help. Remember? You're just fine, I'm the Swiss Cheese," Will lightly joked.

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:24 pm

"Okay, but then I need help helping you."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:36 pm

"I'm not sure this is exactly the sort of situation they have guides on."

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 5:40 pm

"I know that. But I've tried by myself and... well... this happened."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:01 pm

"Well, what did you have in mind?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:03 pm

"I don't know... Stan already knows all about the situation..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:05 pm

"Well, if you can't biologically separate them, maybe we can find someone who can mechanically separate them?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:14 pm

"This was mechanically... But yeah..."

by **Will Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:54 pm

"Wait, MRIs aren't medical stuff?"

by **Sara Stanton** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:56 pm

"Well the way we tried to use it is really more physics."
