[River is spinning a pen between her fingers, looking... quite frankly, rather bored. She sighs and balances the pen on her head]

I attended the meeting, of course. I thought it would be potentially catastrophic to put myself in one of the robots, so I have chosen to stay and defend the city as well as possible.

While I am on guard, I do have a question.

Is there, perhaps, a test one might take. Some sort of proficiency exam. Something to gain access to higher education.

At home, I had nearly completed my Masters in Physics. Here, due to my age, I'm in highschool. It presents no challenge. I would like to be challenged, intellectually speaking.

To whom do I speak about something more... [She takes the pen off her head and chews at the end of it.]

Fitting.

Of course. Always happy to see a young person who enjoys science.

[It'll take a minute for him to gather all the relevant materials, but he'll forward them along! Along with some info on the GED - it was right there in the same site, easy enough to grab as well.]

Math and science are safe. They're made of logic. The building blocks of the universe.

Highschool presents no real challenge.
I've filled a full notebook writing out Pi.

Materials received, thank you.
I hope that these tests will prove I am capable of mastering physics.

[doctopoda]

That's true. But there's value in the humanities, too. We shouldn't entirely neglect them.

[They still aren't exactly Otto's forte; never have been, he's a STEM geek through and through. But...Rosie, of course. It's always Rosie.]

I hope so, too. Have a good time.

[He won't wish her good luck - luck doesn't factor into these things.]

[soulmakingsound]

Agreed.
I dance, as well. With is a kind of math in and of itself.
But also art, and beauty.

[doctopoda]

Everything is connected, isn't it? Man cannot live on science alone.

I'm not much of an artist myself, I'm afraid.
But my wife was a poet. Always a creator of beauty.

[soulmakingsound]

I admire poetry, even if I do not write it myself.

I do know a limerick.

[And she sends him a picture of an equation she's written down]

[After a minute or two:]

Oh, that's very clever!
Wonderful!

[I googled it lol but anyway this kid is a DELIGHT]

[soulmakingsound]

Perhaps science and art can live together in harmony, after all.

[doctopoda]

Ah, a marriage of true equals! It's inspiring.
