Room 231, After ACJ

Fighting snowmonsters, "study group," and making a survival kit for Shop Class had been fun, but they also had been distracting and Sam was now seriously behind on her homework. She hadn't done any work for her independent study for a couple of weeks now. Sam turned the CD player back on, munched on a few of the chocolate covered espresso beans, and began flipping through her notebook.

Today she'd try and focus on the huge one that The Doctor had said needed to be completely reworked. She took out the eraser and wiped down a huge chunk of wall, re-writing the one equation she knew was accurate, then working quickly from there.

"Well... it's more likely to happen for someone to build a quantum accelerator than to build a stable wormhold with our technology," Sam said slightly defensively as he looked at the equation Sam was working on.

"Oh... Well I see the problem here."

Sam steps forward and makes a quich few changes in the formula.

"You forgot to carry the two."

"I don't remember specifying that it was our technology," Sam muttered, under her breath. "At least the 'own lifetime' stipulation would help cut down on the paradox problem, but how much could you really do, if you were that limited?"

"Sure, make me look stupid, Marty." Sam pouted a little. "There's still a ton to do, though. So far, I'm still at the point where I can't even make a wormhole, let alone figuring out how to send someone through it without them liquifying."

"...but how much could you really do, if you were that limited?"

"You'd be surprised," Sam said under his breath, but quickly started writing down some more formulas.

"Well then you need to look at Emmet Brown's formula on quantum fluxes and Hartdegen vortex theory," Sam said as he wrote out the formulas on the board.

"This will at least give you an Idea on how to make a wormhole if you have the technology and provide an idea on safe passage."

Sam's jaw dropped and she almost had to sit down. It wasn't the answer, but wow, what a doorway. "Marty, you're a genius."

"Thank you so much!" She leapt up to her feet and hugged him tightly.

Sam braced himself for what he expected to be the familiar feeling of the leap, but instead nothing occurred. He returned the embrace of Samahta though in a friendly way and look toward Al for any word if the right thing had been done.

"It's too bad you got burned out, Marty. A mind like yours? It comes around once in a lifetime." Sam stepped back and immediately went to work, scribbling, figuring, erasing, and humming contentedly.

At that exact instant? A nuclear bomb could have gone off and she wouldn't have noticed.

Al applauds. "Nice one, Sam. Looks like with this help, she graduates with honors, goes to the air force academy and and ends up working for the military doing deep space cartography, whatever that is. She gets a lot of awards, too."

Hopefully, he watched Sam for any sign of an imminent Leap.

Sam gave Al a wistful look and shook his head. He motions for Al to follow him, but before he leaves he turns to Sam (the other Sam)and says... "Hey Sam? We should celebrate our work here. Why don't you stop by the room tonight and we can throw a little party."

"You're on," Sam grinned back at him. "Need me to bring anything? I know your room tends to live on alcohol and chocolate, but I could probably pick something else up."

[identity profile] oatmanspatient.livejournal.com 2006-02-09 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Bring both!" Sam says with a sly grin.

Yes... he's probably up to something.

"Sure! I'll see you later, then? Thanks again, Marty." She smiled at him again, completely unsuspicious. "This, well, you may have just saved my sanity."

Al follows Sam, watching him a little skeptically. Sometimes he can almost read his partner's mind, but other thins it's a little trickier.
