NARRATOR: Oisri Dig Base, Medical Wing, Lab Four...
MINDES: GAHH! That stupid fire-drill screwed everything up! None of these numbers match!
MINDES: Before Tagii fritzed the TV our blood nannies were on a steady cycle.
Now they're scrambling madly.
I can't tell if our proximity to the TV, our mental state, or the programming we selected have any bearing at all on what the nannies do.
MALOTT: We've still got piles of data to work with. Look here, Scanner Four picked up some low-energy VLF off the TV.
MINDES: But that drill ruined our baseline. Crunching data sets with no hypothesis, no control group... That's not science. That's economics.
MALOTT: I don't know. The VLF signals before the drill, corresponding to steady nanny activity, resemble an encrypted dataset.
MALOTT: After the drill the VLF changed, acquiring the same statistical signature as OH CRAP!
MINDES: Same as whaaaaaa
NOT-BINNIE: Well? Same signature as what? If science stops every time somebody dies we'll never learn anything.
