Summary
“Oh! I- I was looking at the Taumoeba on the reverse microscope. Observing how they move, counting the population.”
“This tell Grace what, question?”
I shrugged.
“Not that much. Population is something I’m only trying to figure out for the sake of marking a… sample size; it’s a bit more difficult, since when I did work in the wet lab, it was mostly on bacteria, and we can’t exactly… count CFU for these guys. Once I have that, we can try looking at modifying them properly. I think the first step would be to mark sort of an… an MIC of nitrogen (...)” I sighed, pressing my glasses back upon my nose. “I’m gonna start on some more useful things in a second, but classical microbiology is sometimes just… fun.”
A beat.
“Grace use a lot of words and Rocky understand about half of them.”

Ryland Grace is a scentist, and so experiments he must do—they have to figure out how to breed nitrogen-resistant Taumoeba, after all.
It's a shame the lab was arranged by someone with not a lot of experience in the wet lab.
It's also a shame if he'll never get to talk to Eridian scientists about their sience.

Always, always, always happy when someone writes Grace as an actual microbiologist!

Right, I’d forgotten how it was to talk with someone who didn’t specialise in his field. A smile crept upon my face. It’d been too long.
I was never meant to do this, after all. I was, at my core, by a calling, as Rocky would put it, or maybe just by a very good personal decision motivated by external factors, a teacher.
