Wanted: Representative Hertz, Rollins, Horne
By: PlebeianTyrant Date: May 16, 2017, 11:02 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Hertz has invited Beatrice and Horne out to a lovely dinner at
the Delmonico's restaurant in NYC. Its not the fanciest of steak
houses, but it's on the higher end of things. Everyone is
invited to sit and order what they want, Hertz will be buying.
Once Hertz has ordered a large well done beef tenderloin and
glass of red wine. After pleasantries are established he gets
down to business. "So, I know that you are wanting to pursue
this 'Meta-human defense league' thing, doctor. And you are
pursuing this creation rights movement in the legal scene, Bea.
I feel that we all could be working together on something
special. I have been spending a great deal of my time developing
and planning a stupendous project out in Nevada." Hertz breaks
some bread open in front of him to butter it and to build a
little suspense. "It's a laboratory to end all laboratories. It
will be the size of a city. It will push the boundaries of known
science for generations. Discoveries undreamed of will flow from
this place, I guarantee it. I just need support. Doctor, you're
famous, people will want to back any projects you set forward.
And Bea, I doubt there's a room full of bureaucrats anywhere
that you couldn't convince to get up in Rockefeller Hall and
dance with the Rockettes in their wives' clothing."
gesticulating mildly with the half eaten, buttered bread.

There's some internal wincing when Beatrice heard that Hertz has
ordered his beef tenderloin well done, but she lets the matter
slide when he gives his pitch. There's a brief moment of
silence as she thinks it over, swirling her glass of wine in
contemplation.
"Sounds like an interesting offer...but what kind of research
will you be doing there. I know that you have a lot of...varied
interests."
Her tone states that not all of these interests can be described
as "above board".

"Anything and everything... ethically of course. As I've stated
before on multiple occasions to many people; I'm no Dr. Jekyll
or Frankenstein. I'm a real man of science. I'm here to ask
questions of the universe and to translate the answers. But I'll
not be lumped in with that Nazi bastard, Mengele." Hertz says a
bit impatiently.
After a brief pause to calm himself, "We're going to the Moon
soon, you know. The next logical step in the red planet.
Wouldn't you want to be part of the team that worked to put
human life on another planet?"

Beatrice looks markedly embarrassed/slightly shocked at Hertz's
initial response.
"My apologies Dr. Hertz. I didn't mean to compare you to...such
people. I was just wondering if this project would be more...
humanitarian in scope?"
She takes a quick sip of wine as Hertz moves on to talking about
colonizing Mars.
"Well that does sound exciting. But why would we have to go to
Mars? Why not improve things here in Earth?"

Hertz accepts the apology with a nod.
"Earth is only one place. A very big place, but only one place.
Should a disaster occur that was beyond the scope of something
the human race, with or without Metas, could handle it would be
nice to have a backup. As the saying 'too many eggs in one
basket' implies." Hertz takes a small sip of his wine. "I want
our 'eggs' to be in as many baskets as I can get them."
"As for a more humanitarian angle; I'm currently working on
several medical technologies right now. I can give you a full
list if you're interested, but let's say it ranges from viral
vaccines to cancer cures to completely synthetic and replaceable
organs and tissues." Hertz takes a bite out of the piece of
bread. Then he hefts what's left of it in his palm. "I plan on
designing crops that are drought, disease, flooding, insect, and
incompetence resistant. I want to design a way to generate
electricity without the need for fossil fuels, which continue to
destroy our environment. We want to make computers that can fit
in the palm of your hand. Animals as smart as humans so that we
can understand our place in the universe and uplift species
underneath us. I want to design a way for a human being to look
at the atoms themselves and maybe even go deeper."

Dr. Horne finishes his second glass of wine and clears his
throat. "This is some pretty ambitious shit, Wally." Dr. Horne
says, and immediately regrets his tone; he clears his throat a
second time as if to acknowledge that he had misspoken. "Sorry,
Beatrice. Too much wine too fast, I guess. But even with all the
funding in the world, Wally, how much of this do you actually
think is realistic?" Dr. Horne stares at Dr. Hertz for a moment
before pouring himself another glass of wine.

"I would say that the 'the sky's the limit', but we've gone past
that now. I'll just say that we don't know until we've tried."
Hertz joins Bob in drinking some wine. "I mean, look at
yourself, Mr. Purple-Eyes, we live in a new era where realism
means only the past and no longer the future. We have to have
some kind of ambition in this. Hesitation will only mean that
opportunities will pass us by."

Dr. Horne considers Wally's words for a moment, and then shrugs
before taking another sip from his drink. "Well, if you think I
can help, I'm in."

"Great! Now that that's over. Let's eat, I'm starving." Hertz
says with a smile.
