@machinasicarius.bsky.social True to his word, Alice’s phone would ring a few days after. Once she answered, a woman’s voice on the other end would speak.
“Hello, may I speak to Alice, please?”

Good morning, Gotham.
Elias placed a hand against the tube, the silhouette inside shifting in its sleep. Another failure, another reject.
“Don’t worry. Soon, you’ll be perfect.”
Elias didn’t stay for the disposal of the failure. He never got used to their screams.

Had Coda really thought he wasn’t keeping tabs on the things processed through all his systems? Had he really thought he could hide this?

He puts out his cigarette. “Have a good day, Miss Sinclair.”
“I'm mostly good at Elden Ring and being annoying. And at least one of those is working right now.”
“Skillset? Hair dying is not a skillset, though I did mean it when I said I liked your hair.”

“My insecurities? No, I think you're projecting. My confidence is born of sheer force of will and confidence in my skillset.”
“Miss, let me be honest. I don’t think you truly care. I think you’re looking for more material to try to be funny to mask those insecurities.
So, if that’s the case, please leave me be. My time is limited and valuable.”

“It does seem that way, but I’m not holding that against you. ‘Do not hate the uniformed. Teach them.’”

“I thought your name was funny so I wanted to know if you were funny too, but so far in a battle of wits it seems one of us is entirely unarmed...”
It was but his ego wouldn’t let the joke stand.
“It’s a please to meet you, Miss Sinclair. So, are you interested in the world of genetics? Or did you just see me on the news last night?”

The joke was apparently missed. Wasn't Praetor a Roman thing? Oh well.

“Geneticist,” he corrected, though the last time he himself had worked the lab was years ago.
He had people to do that now. Part of him missed it. “There’s overlap but they are two different things.”

I don’t actually know. Where do you have access to?
I'd be delighted. Where shall we meet?
I can’t argue on sources of magic, but I’d be happy to sit down and discuss this further. If you would be so kind as to bring literature on the matter?

Science is the careful documentation of applied theories. Whereas magic is similar yes, but magic may also differ immensely depending on the source. Using the Weave is not the same as using Eyusian magic.
+ If you judge every tool on its ability to hang a painting, your walls will be bare.
But the bigger picture?
Boat travel takes you over long distances that would otherwise be unreasonable. Cars or wagons do the same.
I’m sure your magic has something similar to make travel easier?

Not entirely.
True, flint and steel might not have the same effect as magic but that would be like saying a saw and a hammer aren’t both tools because they don’t serve the same function.
If you judge every animal on its ability climb a tree, a whale would disappoint you. +

They are entirely separate entities! You cannot use flint and steel to replicate the effects of Prestidigitation! Only the end effect. It's like comparing boat travel to land travel. Even that's amiss!
What is magic if not science we have yet to understand?
