[ open ] science is neat, but I’m afraid it’s not very forgiving
Who: Jim Kirk, Spock, Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker, & You!
Where: STEM room at the club building.
What: Open house at STEM!
Content Warnings: Probably profanity, canon-typical lab accidents.

WELCOME TO STEM
Welcome to STEM! The room is cramped with activity, a bit of an organized chaos - well, if you ignore the fire in the corner. It's probably fine, don't worry about it; someone will rush in with the well-used fire extinguisher soon.
The walls are completely covered in writing and project diagrams, loosely organized based on what type of project it is: a physical engineering build, chemical synthesis, or coding work. The STEM members can be found flitting between projects, and are always down to assess new projects people might bring in to see what they can do.

STEM TEAM
FIRST TIME?
The activity in the room can be overwhelming, but never fear; the STEM club members are all fairly approachable. Jim can be found at one of the worktables, offering beginner lessons in coding and technology basics, for those who may find Aldrip's advancements foreign.
On the other side of the room, the spider-teens are hard at work at the chemistry and engineering bench. All newcomers are encouraged to wear goggles and gloves, and observe proper lab safety protocol. Gwen and Peter are happy to help with improvements to the community or any projects the Chosen might bring to them.
As for Spock? Well, he's certainly something. When most filter into the room, they'll note that he spends the bulk of his time putting out the oft metaphorical or literal fires (though, 57.3% of the time he is the one setting most things alight), but never quite engages as readily and as surely as the others do.
Either way, when he's not tangled up in his own projects (and even when he is), he tends to shadow Jim. He seems most comfortable, upon further observation, when seated beside him. You might even get Spock to talk about what he's up to or help you out with items of your own if you catch him just right (if, well, the pile of assorted goods often dissembled and reassembled between everything else he appears to be doing is any real indication).

FUCK AROUND AND FIND OUT
If you're in an experimenting mood, perhaps you'll find yourself in the company of Gwen and Peter and their endless box of prototypes, in between messy blueprints and chicken-scratch papers.
As much as STEM pushes lab safety, practicing what they preach is easier said than done. Accidents do happen - the passive-aggressive lab safety flyers and fire extinguishers (are some of those empty by the door?) are there for a reason. If you happen to notice a fire before the excited nerds, feel free to leap into action - lucky you, there's a fire extinguisher within reach.

CODING CLINIC
There's a workstation off to the side littered with computer parts, and when Jim isn't flitting between stations or teaching, he can be found situated at the computer terminal, plugging away at more complex code. Today, he's pouring over strings of data and building communicators - a bunch of them sit in a bucket by his feet as he finishes building each one.
Spock can be found where he usually is, situated toward the sidelines, buried in coding so complex that it makes one's eyes glaze over the longer they stare at it. Or, well, maybe that's the speed of his input?

HEY, WHAT'S THAT?
Spend long enough in the STEM club (or pay enough attention), and you might find yourself drifting towards the back corner. All of the STEM team members have drifted by at some point, and seem to be working on a more...sensitive project. Perhaps you received a message and this is what you're here for, or perhaps one of them pulled you aside and nudged you in this direction.
Jim is discretely handing out communicators and taking down names in a notebook; there's another terminal over here, with telemetry data that the STEM members seem to be debating throughout the day - adding numbers to a map of Aldrip that they not-so-casually cover with whatever's within closest reach whenever someone new approaches.

OOC INFO
Check out the OOC plotting post here; sign up for an exploration team for the player plot happening August 26th!
Want to plot out some involvement? Feel free to hit up any of the STEM members in the Game Discord / wherever you might have us added, we'll be happy to help get your character involved!

[he just looks like a regular guy to kakashi, but he knows well that looks can be deceiving. maybe peter has spider parts hidden away somewhere.]
And I appreciate the invitation. It might be nice to do a little math.
no subject
Yeah, well, we're kinda holding off on the math for now. I super need you as a ninja right now, dude.
no subject
I see. So you're in need of security? Or maybe there's a former member you need to disappear.
[just casually offer to assassinate someone, kakashi, that'll go over well.]
no subject
(YOU FROZE HIM, KAKASHI... but he's shaking his head, getting back to the convo, and he's back.)
Okay, so, we are thinking we can find a way... To find that AI that talks to us? After we do, if we do, then we need to sit down and check specifics, and then the math happens.
no subject
I don't understand much about...tablets? Computers? We don't have any of that where I'm from. I'm not sure how being a ninja will help in this situation.

Okay, I get it. I escort you through the forest, and you let me into your club. Sounds fair.

[because that ain't kakashi.]

(the dark web communicator, he takes one from the shelf to give to the boy in front of him.)
It'll find the electric signal, then you report it.
no subject
That sounds simple enough. What's the catch? Monsters in the way, opposing forces, the area is trapped?
no subject
(please, loosen up, child...)
no subject
[no! no loosening!!]
