Cyroa Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Dark Star would likely attened a Physical Sciences one as well. (sorry; must have missed this thread before)
Sandman XI Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Now here's a question: what sort of scientific/technical lecture would attract the attention of Arrowhawk, Shinken, and Captain Knievel?And Quark!
Dr Archeville Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 Well, both Hawky and Shinken have ranks in Physical Sciences and Craft (Mechanical). That'd probably combine for some sort of physics/engineering project, maybe even some sort of weapons theory. That'd attract Knieval too, I think, and considering Shinken owns a weapons company and Arrowhawk has built most of his trick arrows himself... Then again, would the good Doktor give a lecture on something like that? Ah, yeah, maybe the Captain's looking for some upgrades to his Adrenaline Cannon. Or to show off that his Adrenaline Cannon is obviously better than anything "a pasty nerd could whip up!"
Toptomcat Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Shinken's recent meeting with Dr. Archeville has inspired him to follow the state of the art in the sciences a bit more closely. He's looking to attend any old lecture by him, really: he'll be able to follow anything on computer science, electronic or mechanical engineering, and technology in general quite capably. A lecture on a 'pure' physical science would leave him a *little* out of his depth- but he's there to learn, after all. He could possibly correct the Doctor should the lecture concern practical economics. However, he us unlikely to attend a lecture on the earth, life, or behavioral sciences.
Dr Archeville Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Another possibility: Physical Sciences covers chemistry and engineering. Perhaps the lecture could be on materials science, something Shinken (for his armor) and Arrowhawk (for his arrows) could be interested in. Dark Star may be interested, too, if he thought the topic might lead to the development of a suit that would let him contain his energy form. Captain Knievel may think it could be used to make cans that could keep his beers colder, longer.
Ecalsneerg Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Yeah, lightweight materials/non-lethal chemical weaponry would be physical sciences, and of use to Hawky.
Toptomcat Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Cool. Maybe something with amorphous steel, or nanomaterials, or low-temperature superconductors, or stable transuranic elements. Or just something on a comic-book unobtanium.
quotemyname Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Ah, yeah, maybe the Captain's looking for some upgrades to his Adrenaline Cannon. Or to show off that his Adrenaline Cannon is obviously better than anything "a pasty nerd could whip up!" hah good one. okay well frankly i am game for all of this. physics sounds good... if the captain is crashing, he is more likely to show up expecting something else, like a captain knievel fan convention or something. but stay cuz he sounds interested in whats going on. im subing this thread so i should keep up on whats going on. ill post more later after you guys decide to agree on something, because to be completely honest, your gonna do most of the talking.
