Hey guys! I am DROWNING in homework so if I mysteriously fall off the face of the Earth you know why. If I do, I hope to be able to update on Friday and over the weekend (I'm going to the beach Yeah!) If not, it will be Monday at the absolute latest. I'm still going to try my best and I promise I to have plenty of drama waiting when I do. In the meantime, I still don't own Maximum Ride,
*Random Science Guy POV*
My eyes were starting to cross and I was getting a headache. I'd been staring at this stupid data all day. The numbers blurred together and I was so sleep deprived I didn't know sodium from diet soda anymore. I'd been up for 40 hours straight and I knew if I didn't get sleep soon, I'd start hallucinating.
"I've got it!" Jason yelled from the other side of the room. Dr. Arkin made his way over to Jason's station looking at the computer screen in front of him.
"I had to remove the stabilizing agent that was added after the initial phase of the project to be able to convert it to a gas, but I did it!" Jason exclaimed, obviously proud of himself.
What an idiot. That stabilizing agent was the only thing that would let the product be marketable. People were going to start busting out in hives, growing third ears, and extra toes.
"How long will this new formula take to produce?" Dr. Arkin asked.
Was he joking?! We couldn't use the product without the stabilizing agent.
"It should be done in a week. Two at the absolute most!" Jason answered. You would have thought he just won the lottery.
"I need to be in Denver by next Friday. Can you have it done by then?" Arkin asked.
Jason's enthusiasm faded for a moment, but he changed his tune when he saw the look on Arkin's face.
"Of…of course." He stuttered. Great. There's our next project. At least since we had the formula, we could finally get a few hours sleep.
"That's what I like to hear. Now go home for a few hours. I'll see you at six tomorrow morning." Arkin ordered. Jason and I left our stations without bothering to sign out. We'd be back in four hours anyway.
