horrible_phdYesterday 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.]

Date: 2009-04-30 02:57 am (UTC)Thank you for your timely report, Dr. Horrible. Could you please send a copy of your notes to my office at the Lab? I'd like to take a closer look at the data... Also, I agree that it would be advantageous for someone with a different set of skills to see if they can get different results from yours... is anyone interested?
[Private to Dr. Horrible]
On a side note, I wanted to speak with you about some serious allegations that Captain Hammer brought up against you... predominantly that you've been guilty of sabotage as well as theft...
Is there something that you'd like to say about this?
