"Depends what you want to work on, I mean, I w-was going to run some preliminary tests! So if you, uh, know anything about shielding or exposure like you mentioned, we could take a look together...?"

Her smile is still strained, but she's trying to be as accommodating as possible. More interest means more research, right? More research means more answers?

Well, that's really all she can hope for at this point.
