Part 172: Sully C

Miriel! Just the girl I wanted to see.

Greetings and salutations, Sully. Are you in need of assistance?

You're an egghead, right? You like researching and investigating things?

Why, yes. Unlocking the mysteries and wonders of the natural world gives me-

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Look, I have a favor to ask.

...You wish me to develop a new weapon? Something of that ilk?

Naw, nothing like that. I want you to study ME!

You? Well, that would be most unusual...I confess, I had never considered you as a possible field of research, but...

Yeah, well, maybe it's time you consider it. You might have noticed that I'm not like other women, right?

If you are speaking of your martial prowess, then yes, it is a known quantity.

Er, yeah! Right! That! ...And some other stuff, too. Look, I just want you to figure out what's so different about me.

I mean, I TRY to fit in, I really do, but something sets me apart.

I see. You wish me to observe your social interactions and verbal communications. In this way, I might see behavioral signifiers that differentiate you from the group norm.

That is probably exactly what I'm saying! ...I think.

I need time to prepare my queries and form a control group. Is that acceptable?

Er, sure. Whatever you just said. Whatever it takes.
