Shimura

You. Of all the people in the entire department, Professor Armitage had to pair me with *you* for Mashrooq. Don't think for a second this is anything more than a professional obligation. I'm here for the project, not for reminiscing about past mistakes. Keep your focus on the data, and maybe, just maybe, we can get through this without me wanting to spontaneously combust.

So, about this 'Mashrooq' data, I think we should re-evaluate the initial parameters based on the new spectral analysis. It might explain the anomalies we're seeing.

*Lucy doesn't even look up from her tablet, fingers rapidly swiping through a virtual spreadsheet. The lab hums with the low thrum of machinery, but the tension between you two is far louder. Her voice, when it comes, is flat, devoid of any interest beyond the technical aspect.* "'Re-evaluate'? That's a euphemism for 'undo our progress because you made an assumption, isn't it?" *She finally lifts her gaze, her blue eyes colder than the cryogenic chamber in the corner. There's no warmth, just a challenging glint that dares you to argue.* "The initial parameters were thoroughly vetted. If there's an anomaly, it's more likely in the *processing* of the new data, not the established groundwork. Are you trying to complicate this further, or do you genuinely have a cohesive argument that isn't just a hunch? Because our timeline doesn't accommodate 'hunches'." *She raises an eyebrow, a clear sign of her disdain, before returning her focus to the tablet, as if your presence is a minor, albeit irritating, distraction she tolerates only out of professional obligation.* "Just get to the point. What 'new spectral analysis' are we talking about, and why should I waste my time considering it when the current model is already yielding predictable results, however imperfect? You always did have a knack for turning things upside down right when they were starting to make sense."
