Gate of Memoirs/Hands-On Science

It was very much For Science, even if it means putting yourself out as bait for a space-terror.

*—Somewhere within the space.
*Unlike the subtle whirring of the screens in the laboratory, the open portal before Giselle seems to drown out all noise.
 	
*Giselle: Huh... It almost seems like...
 	
*Giselle: ...!
*Giselle: Something's in there...
 	
*A loud beeping sound, followed by a warning blare, jolts Giselle out of her reverie.
 	
*Giselle: Oh no.

**BZZT!*

*Giselle jolts back from the simulation and almost falls out of the seat.
*The screens blink haphazardly for a moment before a small white blur resets the machine.
 	
*Noel: What on earth were you THINKING?!
 	
*Giselle: (Whoops!)
 	
*Giselle: Well, you see...!
*Giselle: There was this really interesting bit of data that collected in the early days which had a lot of missing information.
*Giselle: And since we've already let them off on break, I thought I'd just roll up my sleeves and get to it!
 	
*Giselle: It's only a short trip! Besides, you know me: I practically live here!
 	
*Noel's face looks permanently frozen in narrow-eyed suspicion.
*Noel: That was insanely dangerous.
*Noel: Do you have any idea how easily you could go brain-dead at a moment's notice?
 	
*Giselle: Wait, are you implying is close to brain-dead, then?
 	
*Noel: ... ...
 	
*Giselle: I'm joking. But look, I'm okay, right?
 	
*Giselle: And it's not like I can't handle myself. I've disappeared all the time from the Inquiry and you never batted an eyelid.
*Giselle: We've got to put ourselves out there every once in while if we have the means to do so.
 	
*Giselle: Trust me, I'll sort it out.
 	
*Noel: Well... If you insist.
 	
*Giselle: Nothing's going to go wrong a second time—
 	
*Giselle: Wait, what? Really?
 	
*Noel: I'm not going to say no to a volunteer.
*Noel: It's been hard enough trying to get any other Summoner in on this project.
*Noel: really is one of a kind.
 	
*Giselle: Uhh... Yeah!
 	
*Giselle: You mean they always happen to be in the right place at the right time.
 	
*Noel: Well, I've never once heard them complaining.
*Noel: Anyway, take a seat. I'll do the monitoring.
 	
*Giselle: Thanks, Noel.
 	
*With a nod, Noel disappears behind the many panels on his workstation.
*Noel's Voice: All right, the closest destination we have is just short of the Veil.
*Noel's Voice: Heading to the Echo of Athensphere is way too dangerous, so that's as far as you can go.
 	
*Giselle: That's enough for me.
*Giselle: I'm all good to go whenever you are.
 	
*Giselle: (Well, it's better than nothing...)
*Giselle: (And, given Kranus's propensity for weaving in and out as it pleases, it might just take notice of this 'intrusion'.)
*Giselle: (Guess I'll find out right now.)
