THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS WRONG WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID

FROM: kurosaki.isshin@cdc.org
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START

FROM: kurosaki.isshin@cdc.org
LISTEN HERE, KUROSAKI EDWARD

FROM: kurosaki.isshin@cdc.org
I'M YOUR PAPA NOW

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Just who is "Kurosaki Edward"???

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Don't you already have a son? Why do you need me??

FROM: korra@cdc.org
Hey. You're some kind of scientist, right?

[A nerd, perhaps?]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Korra?

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

I'm an alchemist. What's up?

FROM: korra@cdc.org
is alchemy like science?

[Same difference, right?]

FROM: korra@cdc.org
Zuko and I found some weird fur in the hall. We were hoping one of you brainiacs might want to take a look at it.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

It is a science. But this really isn't my area of expertise. You're better off finding a biologist.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

You think it's relevant to what's going on?

FROM: korra@cdc.org
Know any good ones?

[She... doesn't exactly know what a biologist does, but Ed sounds like he knows what he's talking about.]

FROM: korra@cdc.org
Not sure. It doesn't look like anything I've seen around here.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Try .. Hange? She's a little overwhelming, but she knows her stuff.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

In that case, it might bring us closer to IDing this thing.

Hange? I think Zuko said he's going to ask her.

[She'd met Hange once, briefly, in the thick of battle. She seemed reliable.]

FROM: korra@cdc.org
So there's nothing you can do with your alchemy?

[It's a mystery what Alchemy is, or how it works- it looked like magic to Korra.]

you're not the only one stuck with it, runt, don't think you're that much of a snowflake

FROM: kurosaki.isshin@cdc.org
DON'T DENY YOUR HERITAGE EDWARD IT HURTS PAPA SO

FROM: kurosaki.isshin@cdc.org
I HAVE TWO MORE: ZUKO AND SHINJI. AND NOW THREE!!

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

HOW MANY ARE YOU GOING TO ADOPT

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

AND ARE ANY OF THEM ACTUALLY AGREEABLE TO THIS ??

[ she is reliable but she's also fuckin weird. ]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Did you think all sciences were the same or something [ he's so done with you jocks ]

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Alchemy's the study of the manipulation of matter. I exactly can't use it to test alien hair.

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Okay. Why am I - and whoever else is with me - stuck with it, then??

FROM: elric.edward@cdc.org

Will YOU be serving sandwiches too??

FROM: korra@cdc.org
Look. Maybe science is different on your world than mine.

[Or maybe she's just a jock who doesn't know much about it.]

FROM: korra@cdc.org
So basically this was jusr a big waste of time.
