With the understanding that this is a network of some type, I'm looking to get into contact with a Mr. Qubit. He assisted myself and my colleague on arrival, and circumstances at the time weren't conducive to exchanging contact information.

In addition, if there's any available information on technical or research institutions located around the occupied cities, any direction would be appreciated.

Finally, if any other members of the PPDC exist here, I'd request them to get in contact immediately.

Thank you.

-Dr. Gottlieb

You are a scholar, then?

[She has a lot of respect for scholars even the ones who tell her the earth is round.]

What have they brought you here to do?

[mathemagier]

Ah, yes, I suppose you could say that. A more accurate term would be 'scientist'.

[Or physicist, but details. sorry but it's true]

Unfortunately, the position they've given me is hardly relevant to my previous work, so I'm looking to find something more suitable.

I trust you've had more success in that respect?

[illuminescent]

Oh, no, my position in my own land is quite different from the one I have here. And so I try my best to learn, and hope it is not all for naught, should I be returned with nothing but a faint dream of a memory of this place.

I should hope you do find a position where you are able to use your learning, sir.

[mathemagier]

May I ask what that position was, madam?

And I'm quite sure locating alternative employment will be no difficulty.

[illuminescent]

Queen.

So you see, I am quite at a loss for finding a similar one. I'm pleased you are luckier than I.

[mathemagier]

Ah, yes, well, I can imagine why that would be a difficult transition, particularly in this country. You sound as though you were an excellent ruler. I do hope you're enjoying your studies here, however.

[illuminescent]

Do I truly? It's pleasing to hear such a thing!

To tell you truly, I am unused to the lessons I must take here, but I do my utmost to heed them.

[mathemagier]

You seem very compassionate, madam, and I know that to be an admirable quality.

What sort of lessons are you taking? If you don't mind my asking.

[illuminescent]

I thank you, sir, I find you very kindly.

I am in schooling for many things, but it is the sciences and mathematics that cause me the most grief. I do try, but they are quite foreign to me, and I must work twice as hard to understand them.

[mathemagier]

[No darling, you are very wrong there]

Interestingly, those fields are my specialty. I can't say for certain how much I could offer, but if you had any questions, perhaps I could be of some assistance now and then.

[illuminescent]

Your offer is very timely, but I fear you may find it difficult to teach the basics such as I need to learn. It would be tiresome to ask it of you.

And I suspect my ignorance would be quite a challenge to overcome.

[mathemagier]

Unfortunate as it may be, that is likely true, madam. [He was doing very advanced mathematics from a very young age that he hardly recalls how he learned the most fundamental stages] I wish you well with your lessons and hope you find a more suitable tutor.

[illuminescent]

But I would still like to be your friend, if you should wish it.

[mathemagier]

I would be honored to consider you as such, however I don't believe I've caught your name, madam.

[illuminescent]

Oh! I'm Lucy. Please. Do call me Lucy.

forgot there were ID tags again? or something, orz

[mathemagier]

Doctor Hermann Gottlieb, madam. Good day, ...Lucy.

I forget about once an hour so you're fine

[illuminescent]

It's very much a pleasure to meet you, sir.
