He's a supervillain, Hermann. Gimmicky and barely competent, maybe, but surely you recall his last "project." It involved a fifteen-foot-tall undead president and stealing the Declaration of Independence.
The dates, my conclusions. Possibly. If I manage to reach anything significant. I intend to share my findings anyway, should there be anything of note.
It was my intention to look for patterns, but he'd approached me offering to assist.
I'm not certain I'll manage to gather enough data to divine the Porter's internal algorithm, but it's worth attempting.
[just... rubbing his temples over here.] You're missing the point, Hermann. The project itself is a fine idea, I have no objection to that. It's the part about fraternizing with villains. Trust me, that rarely ends well.
[Meanwhile Qubit's starting to sound exasperated - he still feels like they're talking at cross purposes, and it's an issue he has Strong Opinions about.]
Now when did I say you were? That's not the issue, Hermann, it's the principle of the thing! Maybe this project will be innocuous, but what about the next one? The point is you can't trust these people.
I never said I did. All I need is accurate data. If he attempts anything outside those boundaries, he'll find himself teleported into the middle of the Pacific.
In terms of my next project, well he's no physicist, so he'll hardly be relevant.

Did you really need his help with this?

I'm rather busy at the moment, and we're due for a new batch soon. Seemed a waste not to.

I appreciate your concern, but it's hardly anything nefarious. I'm not helpless you know.

Not your next project, his. [An irritated sigh.] You really don't see anything wrong with associating yourself with his kind of people?
Not here
...jokes aside, are we getting booted off supersquad?
