Bones 101 (Open)

Tilting her head a bit to the side, Temperance leans a little closer to the skeleton that was on the examining table. Obviously she is in one of  the sensoriums which has kindly recreated her lab from the Jeffersonian. Sadly it hadn't bothered to give her a replica of Angela or Zack or Hodgins. Even though she likes to work alone, she has to admit she misses the constant barrage of chatter that seemed to follow where ever those three were.

Reaching out with a gloved hand, she runs her fingers gingerly over the skull before carefully picking it up and examining it closer. "Hmmm....." she mutters aloud. "The skeleton is in remarkably good shape.  Female, and based on the dentition and condition of the vertebrae, she was fairly young. Possibly in the mid to late twenties, though no older than mid thirties."

It's not even a real dead body, but it's enough to keep Temeperance from going stir crazy and it actually in a way relaxes her.

"I think it is" Booth speaks up as he comes in behind her. "Part of me hopes it is, although another part wouldn't mind seeing some action. Although...I don't actually know if I have any jurisdiction here. I doubt it."

Temperance looks over at Booth, offering him a quick smile before she turns her attention to Holly. "He's correct. The skeleton is part of a highly realistic hologram."

She arches an eyebrow. "Why do you ask?"

Maybe someone will explain what the big deal is.

"Well, you've got a skeleton on a table."

Holly casually touched the Gnommish badge on her belt out of habit.

"I just want to make sure I'm not going to have to solve any murders in space," she said, voice dripping with vitriol. Of course, this statement may have sounded strange coming from someone that looked rather like a child with pointed ears.

"It's not real," Temperance explains - like that'll clear up any type of squimishness.

She gives the strange lady (with pointed ears, she did notice those) a look that was almost offended. "Why would you be the one doing the solving. Booth and I do quite well with that."
