[It takes a few rings before Newt drags himself close enough to the bedside table to actually make contact with his phone. He's still putting on his glasses when the video comes on, and Hermann can be heard grumbling about the light. Newt doesn't even bother to sit up. He loves you, QB, but that's too much effort.]
Ugh, man, can't this have waited...like four more hours?
Really? You have work morning, noon, and night--you don't STOP working. What's so special about morning work that you had to interrupt my careful inspection of the inside of my eyelids?
[YOU BETTER NOT LET THAT THING EXPIRE, MAN. Imma come over there and drag your ass to the spa.]
Oh. I get a boyfriend and suddenly I get popular, huh?! Where the hell were all these requests for biologists two months ago? [That might be Hermann threatening to de-boyfriend him. Ok ok. Newt can take a hint. He gets quiet....quiet for Newt, anyway.]
It's more of a study, really. It's to do with the nanites. There are a lot of assumptions and theories floating around about them, but not much that I'd really call solid. That's what I intend to find out. What they actually do. What they can do. [An important distinction. It's possible they have functionality nobody knows about at all.]
[The Mexican heartthrobs, once they're friendly again. Or I'll make Hermann make me a robot army. SO THERE.]
Have you talked to the Kang guy? You know, kind of dino-dragony looking, except when he's not, then he's, like, played by some hot Asian guy because life isn't fair. Anyway, let's see if we can get you two on a party-line sometime and make this work, because he's got an interest in nanite healing abilities and I think we could probably throw all our research in together. Or at the very least should be aware of all this research.

Alright, I'm listening. Lay some science on me.
