Throughout my life I have been seeking answers to things that so many simply write off as "unknowable". In the process of these investigations I have cast aside my credibility with mainstream science, made many new observations, and discovered many new hypothesis to test.

I was given an offer of verifiable subjects, an unlimeted budget, and access to equipment that makes all of my old laboratories seem primitive in comparison. The drawback was simple, Once accepted and acclimated I can't go back.

If you had to give everything up to realize a dream, could you just walk away from it all? I am afraid I can, and have. I can continue to assist, and even arrange for some materiel and information to reach those who need it, but I will not be leaving this wonderous place.

What place is "this place" Kei? I'm confused.

I don't have any dreams though.

I also feel like I've sold my soul before, and what I got in return was something of far less worth.

I would weigh the matter carefully before you decide. No matter what you decide, I will try to be there for you if needed.

I owe you that much.

Dreams are funny things, apparently.

As for souls, the jury's still out on that one.

Not for me, I don't believe I have a soul either.

Certainly isn't any evidence of one...

I did actually deliberate theis one for an extended period of time, I belive that I actually gave teh issue a full hour of deliberation, all other irons in teh fire set to the side while I thought about the possible repercussions.

I will still be glad to help, in any way that I can. I am allowed to send out 2 shipments of up to 3 tons each, twice a month. I can recieve packages at any time as long as a few rules are followed.

1. No transmitters. each box is scanned quite thoroughly and any transmiting device will just delay the package.
2. No assembled expplosive devices, if you need to send some kind of bomb, send the explosives in one package and the detonation method on a seperate plane, we get all of our supplies via aircraft, the loss of which would be annoying.

Yes koyla my physical position in the universe is currently classified, not even the governments of the world know the actual location, although they have an idea or two.

I have gotten permission to use some facilities I have purchased in Vermont as a drop location. Those of you who remember Bert's mansion already know the location, the rooms above will be open for use by society members as needed, just don't interfere with the groundskeepers, or try to bypass any of the security systems, I designed the systems, and they are as indescriminate as they are deadly.

Unless of course some of you are expert virologists trained in the handling, containment, and disposal of assorted viral agents, trust me and just let the basement be, it should be safe for re-entry in about 10 years.

Of course, thanks to this thread, I've got that damn Eminem song stuck in my head. (Thanks, Kei!)

I think you've got to keep in mind exactly HOW MUCH you want it, and try to be as objective as possible about what would happen if you get it. And not the "my life will be complete" kind of what will happen, I mean a serious searching. The one thing I've learned is that whatever it is you think you want, most likely isn't really what's best, or even what's right for you.

"You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find you get what you need."

(Whoah, I almost feel like KT now! )

That dream job keeping you busy, Kei Nakamura? You've been quiet.

You have no idea Mr. Skinner. Work here moves at a pace that boggles the mind, and I find myself without the normal downtime of waiting for the results of my latest tests.
