Video | ID: Harrison Wells

[When the feed goes live it shows the top half of a man, wearing a simple black blazer and a white dress shirt. He is well poised and has his hands flat down on the table he's sitting at, a relaxed smile on his face as he checks to make sure the device is recording before he begins.]

Hello everyone. I understand it's been a hectic past week of sorts, especially for people just arriving here such as myself, so I hope everything is back in sorts and everyone is feeling more themselves.

[He breathes out a small amused sound, though it comes out more awkward and an attempt to lighten what may still be a sour mood. He taps his fingers on the table and continues.]

My name is Harrison Wells, and I work as a physicist back in my 'world' — so to speak — specializing in particle physics and quantum mechanics. [He pauses with his mouth half-open, as if pondering on what to say next, before going on.] I was also the founder and director of a research facility called S.T.A.R. Labs, or Scientific and Technological Advanced Research Labs for long, if anyone happens to recognize the name. If not, then don't worry about it. From what I gather every world has its own ticks here and there that make it unique and distinguishable from the next.

[He's really only tossing it out as a bait, to see if there are people here from his world or tangent worlds that would recognize a landmark scientific facility. If he finds people who recognize it, good. If he doesn't, then it's not the end of all things.]

Here I've been employed as a Kinematics Professor in the local university in Heropa, so if you happen to attend or work there then I'm sure you'll be seeing me around often. If you are interested in attending a class, please let me know. I plan to teach both a 101 and an advanced course in the summer and fall and I encourage even those who are not inclined to the sciences to give it a try. [The tips of his smile crease up, his grin turning slightly toothy.] I promise, I am a patient teacher, and won't give up on anyone who doesn't give up on themselves.

Introductions to the side, I want to pose a more personal question and ask for opinions on this situation so to speak. Your experiences, good or bad, although you don't need to go into detail if you don't want to.

In fact I'll go first, since it's only fair: a little more than a year ago, in my world, a portion of the population in my home city became affected with genetic mutations which caused people to develop powers— ones not much different from the kind people are given here by the nanites. [He pauses with a gentle inhale of breath through his mouth, taking off his glasses while he does and holding them by a temple arm between his index finger and thumb, before exhaling it out quietly.] Since that time I've been working with a team to identify and research these cases, along with trying to provide help when we could. Some people used their powers for the good of the public and others for their...own purposes. My team experienced issues with the military because of this as well, not unlike the kind that this world has with the imPorts.

[He shakes his head lightly, remembering the distaste of his dealings with a certain General, and puts his glasses back on with a strong blink to readjust his eyes.]

I must admit to being somewhat on edge because of this. It makes me uneasy to think that not only powers are being handed out, but also that there is a government force behind it all. Powers mean...different things, to different people. So if anyone wants to share their thoughts with me, any kind really, I'd be interested in a discussion.

If not, then I have nothing more to say for now. [He shrugs loosely.] This "blogging" style of messaging never really suited my tastes.

CEO of Starrware Labs back home, co-CEO in this world. We're an R&D company focused on environmental problems and solutions.

We certainly try.

[ She's proud to say it. It's been a bumpy ride between both worlds, but hey, progress. ]

You going to think about working in a lab again or content teaching?

[ It's a demotion from what he used to do, but he sounds genuinely interested in doing it from his post. ]

I feel you. Honestly, if I could go home I'd be back there in an instant, but if I'm going to be here a while I may as well make the most of it.

Nobody wants to go stir crazy.

[ A light chuckle. ]

I know one kid who's probably going to jump on that class. [ A beat. ] Actually, I see he's already expressed interest.

[ These nerdy speedsters. Although it's gratifying to see someone out there is still interested in educating themselves. Too many people give school a bad rep here. ]

Karen is fine, by the way.

People here can have a... well, not so great attitude about education. I'd say a lot of that has to do with the fact our presence here is unstable.

You'll be in Heropa? [ A thoughtful pause. Why is she friends with so many teenagers. Karen you need some adult friends. ] I know quite a few kids, so if any of them take an interest in that field I'll be sure to point 'em your way.

I'm not sure I've got time for class, but maybe I'll pop in a lecture one of these days.

[ Or maybe not. ]
