Hennessy followed behind two students he’d wrangled into helping him fetch some pails of sea water from some close by tide pools. He’d wanted them for various projects and possibly experiments for his students to run once the break ended but that did not mean he wasn’t above doing a few trial runs himself. The small band walked the corridors that were crowded with students and faculty coming and going, all concerned with their own business and that was when one of the clumsy students struggled with the grip on the metal pail he carried. The male fumbled, attempting to hold onto the slippery handle, he was failing and furthermore he did not pay attention to his footing in the slightest, that was when he took a stumble sending the pail flinging wildly upwards. The vessel of salty, sea water rocketed skyward as the male fell back slipping on some unseen barrier set in his path. Water glistened in the light fanning out in flowing arches, droplets formed into huge splashes flying through the air aiming for an unsuspecting target.

      H e r.

dammit.

   Think fast Hennessy!

The shook washed over his face as an innocent was about to be christened by the brine of the sea and a clumsy dipshit. Not on his watch! His hand shot upwards, fingers spread calling on his element of choice halting the Water dead in its tracks as if it had hit a solid wall and simply dribbled downwards in gushes to the ground, not even a mist escaped the British Professors call. He stepped forward thwacking his hand over the top of the students head in a sharp reprimand. “That is no way to treat a lady!” He barked before his features softened just a tad and his attention turned to the young women.

     Word tends to move fast around The Institute, especially between the faculty and staff. Of course, there wasn't many things that caught Elias' attention, but someone had mentioned that there was an android student and he immediately began to seek the student out. He felt that the human race as a whole was just lacking, however, their technological advancements were always fascinating, especially with how fast they seemed to be creating new technologies. However, an android and one that functioned to pass the turing test? He thought it very unlikely, that maybe a human didn't create the android. It seemed too good to be true in all honesty.

     Yet, he managed to find the android student and began to study their habits from afar. Devon seemed to function normally, easily blending in with her surroundings. Nothing about her was up front about being anything remotely mechanical. Who ever made her had done a very good job. Her speech patterns and mannerisms were also very human, nothing like what the virtual assistants were like on smart phones. Truely fascinating!

     Eventlually, Elias gathered the courage to approach Devon. More could be learned about her if he held a conversation. Maybe she would be ok with this, he sure hope so, but he would respect her desicion if she happened to decline. He had approached her in the hallway in between classes, hoping that it was a decent time to talk to her.

     "Mrs. Templeton..." He calls out, briskly walking around students and staff to reach her, "...Mrs Templeton, I hope this isn't a bad time to talk, but I'm Dr. Bernhardt-Schafer. I teach forensic science here, though I was wondering if it was possible for me to ask you a few questions if you happened to be free. This is nothing serious and doesn't pertain to your studies, just a professional curiosity that I have about you."
