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.

"Ya. Ain't nevah needed t'eat anytin else b'fore. De only ot'er tings we had were more like... medicine?" To say it worried him is an understatement. Granted starving to death is not something anyone would look forward too, but it wasn't that simple. Not for him.

"Research? How do I do dat? I try t'look at de pods when I woke up but Stacy, she stab me in de neck wit sometin and it made me all funny." Not that he wasn't willing to get stabbed in the meck a thousand times if it meant getting his friends out, but if he could avoid it? Far be it for him to complain.

"Well I don't think you'll be allowed to eat anyone's flesh here," Temperance points out. "I believe you're going to have to get use to eating the same food everyone else does." And she didn't think the others would like the idea of a cannibal in their midst.

"Well since you've already tried examining the pods, I'd suggest looking in the midea library. Maybe look up the pods and see what their energy source is and maybe you could find out who designed them. Another thing to try is to see if there's some record of the layout of our own pods. It might make searching for your friends easier."

"You tink it'll work?" He actually decides it would be better to not correct her on the 'flesh' thing. To him that just means skin, his tribe eats everything. Flesh, meat, bones, organs, and whatever else they might have on them at the time. It's not uncommon for them to cough up things that aren't digestible.

He can't even count the times he needed to ask for help to get something unstuck from his teeth or throat. Though it's really not his fault, his demon form doesn't have elbows.

Her suggestion made him smile. Cielo has been told often enough that he isn't very smart. He's far from stupid, but sometimes he needs a little guidance to point him in the right directions. "Okay! I can do dat! Only... what is a 'media library?"
