[would not normally. But Hermann might have just enough sway now to cause Newt to reconsider.]

Who isn't?

Speaking of. He's going to try out his teleport power. You're going to double check his equation, right? Because, and I am loath to admit it, I can't. And would be really not cool for him to, say, not come back.

[superposition]

Right, I already agreed to. Given what I've seen of his capabilities so far, I doubt he'll manage to strand himself in the fifth dimension or anything, but an extra set of eyes never hurts.

[driftsintobuffetline]

If he betrays our faith in his abilities and does in fact get stuck in the fifth dimension, can you just portal him out?

Unscientific aside: thanks a lot. I now have Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In stuck in my head.

[superposition]

Almost certainly. Although I think it'd be less a matter of portaling, more a matter of isolating him from background noise and projecting him back down into 4D spacetime... Not something I've had the opportunity to try before, actually. But we'll cross that bridge if and only if we come to it.

[Still, it's interesting from a theoretical standpoint. How would he do that, if he had to? That'll be something to think about in front of the fridge.]

... Damn it, now I do, too. Except I only know the chorus.

[driftsintobuffetline]

I feel totally reassured. :|

There's not a whole lot more to those lyrics, to be honest. Here!

[superposition]

Well, what do you want? Overoptimistic reassurance or an honest assessment? You're the one who said science is inherently risky.

Also I'm not clicking that, the cure for an annoying earworm is not more of the same song.

[driftsintobuffetline]

Honest assessment. But risky science is different when the risk isn't your own.

I tried.

[superposition]

Point. At any rate, I do promise I'll do whatever I can on the off chance something goes pear-shaped.
