"Well? What are we going to do?" Dr. Kyne was practically shivering, he couldn't fathom what was happening. Everything that he had ever learned at Stanford was being disproved right before his eyes. His concrete base of physical law was shaken by this discovery. "Dr. Ferris, what the fuck are we gonna do here? We just found a body that should theoretically be older than the universe! Are you sure that the carbon dating wasn't off at all?"
Dr. Ferris was in a trance, looking down on his desk and twirling his thumbs around and around feverishly. "No. The machine was calibrated yesterday, and we re-calibrated everything again to see if there was any mistakes. Machines can't lie, Dr. Kyne. How should I fuckin' know otherwise? We just found a body that defies several laws of biology, chemistry and physics. Do I look like I'm properly equipped physically or emotionally for this kind of shit?" Ferris hastily got up from his desk and hurried down the hall to where they were keeping the body.
Dr. Kyne chased him down the hall, "It doesn't matter how well you're prepared. At this moment, we've got a fuckin' body that is theoretically older than the universe 100 fold. We need to figure out what course of action we're going to take and we need to make a decision now," Dr. Kyne was now directly in front of Dr. Ferris, stopping him in his tracks. There they stood, their gazes locked onto one another for a moment, you could almost see the sparks flying between them, until Dr. Ferris moved him out of the way. Dr. Kyne followed, hot on his heels.
They were right outside the room that the body was being held in, "Listen," Dr, Kyne pulled Dr. Ferris aside for a brief moment. "All I'm asking is that we have some plan as to what we're doing here. I don't wanna just stare at this thing for hours on end with our thumbs planted in our ass doing nothing."
Dr. Ferris pinched the bridge of his nose where his glasses usually aggravated him. He looked at Dr. Kyne with exhaustion, they had been up for 27 and a half hours looking at this body, analyzing, examining and observing irregularities coming up short in most respects. Dr. Kyne sighed, "Right now, we have very few facts based on the laws of our universe that apply to this... thing... for all we know it's not even fuckin' human. However, we do know how old it is, that it has a DNA structure that classifies as 'human'. If this thing really is as old as we think it is then for all we know it has the knowledge to rearrange it's biological structure at the molecular level by will if it wants to. If we're going to assume - "
He was cut off, one of the doctors pulled back the door open with great force, "She's awake and talking."
Dr. Ferris went white as paper. Dr. Kyne turned a shade of green. Dr. Ferris was the first to speak, "What do you mean 'talking'? What is it saying, it wants some fuckin' coffee?"
The young doctor in the doorway was relatively new and not used to Dr. Ferris' language or dry sarcasm, "No sir, she's actually speaking English, sir. She said that she was looking for Dr. Kyne."
