#28: Reporting In
Yesterday was inconvenient, but gave me the chance to test some equipment. When I was wearing the heat vision goggles, I thought I saw some really huge heat source thing go by being hot and--thingish. Anyway, I haven't posted in a while, have I? Sorry about that...especially since my last post was...unbelievably out of character. But hey, while I was buried in my laboratory I finished up one project.

Attached please find my full report on arrivals to the city. I employed several methods in my research such as making observations in areas known for a high density of new arrivals (Misery Square), interviewing citizens about their own arrivals, and looking through the Network archives for "arrival posts." More details are included in the method section. Though these methods did not allow me to get a random or exhaustive sample, I think I have enough data to make some generalizations. Unfortunately, the only major patterns in arrival seem to be geographic--most arrivals occur in Misery Square, and a surprisingly high percentage of new arrivals find themselves dumped into the fountain. Most arrive at ground level, but some have been known to arrive by falling from the sky. In at least one case the individual who arrived this was was capable of flight. Arrivals come with their clothes and occasionally a few moderately sized items that they were holding.
I was able to observe a few arrivals for myself, and there was no discernible pattern. I never observed a gateway, but sometimes there was a flash of light. I also took EMF readings and occasionally found spikes on several frequencies, but not the same ones, and not ever time. Again, the full data is attached. The readings on my Magnificometer were also random. For the most part, there was nothing out of the ordinary besides a person suddenly appearing. I don't think it's likely that this will be a productive line of inquiry, at least for a scientist. Perhaps someone working from the magical side of things would have more luck.
[ooc: So--the report will have a lot of stick figure drawings substituted for portions of equations, but at least some of it will be comprehensible. Only Dr. Horrible actually knows what a Magnificometer does. You can ask him, but his explanations will not actually be helpful. Also, mods were consulted on the nature of arrivals.]

Private, and obviously voice
Hehheh... no... no. Of course not. I've always thought well enough of you Doctor... heh... I just had to ask. Of course you can understand that...
Please forgive me if I had you worried...
oh, you do so amuse me...[He coughs slightly, composing himself once again.]
I do have some news for you concerning our mutual friend Captain Hammer. You'll be pleased to know that I was able to speak to him concerning his attack on you. And he agreed to pay ARTEMIS for the destruction he caused to your equipment. I'll be sending you a portion of this to cover your medical costs.
I think that's what I'd call a successful negotiation...
Re: Private, and obviously voice
Well anyway, that's good.
I'm surprised he actually agreed to do that...I don't really understand why he would unless it's some sort of PR thing. I guess you are pretty good at negotiations. But really, there's not much medical expenses that need covering. I never actually went to the hospital.
