He has critical care knowledge due to being a neurosurgeon, so he must be very helpful when triaging at the very least.
...That's incredible. A blood that can prevent radiation poisoning? That would be quite useful where I'm from as well. Do you know anything about the components of Nightblood, though? That might give me better insight into how your physiology may differ. Clearly your blood doesn't have hemoglobin in it. Perhaps a different valence of iron?
I'd be happy to have more skilled hands and having some of the practical knowledge to begin with is helpful.
Of course he does. Stephen helps where he can. He's certainly more experienced than I've ever been.
I can give you some notes on Nightblood, though most of its recent development was only while I led the project itself. I don't know as much as my mother would, for instance. I'm willing to undergo tests. A lot of the knowledge we had was lost because of an apocalyptic event in my world, and we had to improvise and experiment to come up with the serum itself again.
I'd love to take a look at those sometime. Hopefully I can get access to laboratory equipment at some point and then we can talk about getting more samples.
My pleasure. It can only help to have more people trained.
Feel free to reach out to him whenever you'd like. You can say I sent you. I don't think he'll have much luck turning you away.
[Sometimes Stephen's ego can get the best of him when someone offers to help, but Julian's already proved that he's competent in just a few replies.]
I'll provide samples when it's time. For what it's worth, passing the solution from one person to another also involves their bone marrow. I would rather not undergo an extraction, but I understand it comes to that.
[Because this is just a thing that happens in her world.]
The limiting factor right now is me, considering I don't have access to the equipment I need. I'm going to take a guess that our people don't have a covert laboratory with the type of advanced equipment I'd use to analyze a blood specimen.

And thanks, Julian. I appreciate it.

We're a long way off from that. I'll simply look at the peripheral blood first.

[She realizes that this makes Stephen sound worse than he is, but he has his moods.]
But that's a relief. I don't think we'll need to worry about replicating it for a while yet.

To be quite honest, I'd like to avoid anything as invasive as a bone marrow biopsy.
no subject
[Stephen has become more humble, at least with regards to her. It probably helps that she got a literal glow up by six years to help out a bit.]
I'll agree on the marrow biopsy. But sometimes things can get pretty desperate back home.

The latter might be more feasible.

I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable with that plan.

[Because she'd ask Loki to do it.]
It's something we need. You know that as well as I do.

[ He hates this. ]
Is there no other way? No other grants we could apply for? Do things like that even exist?
Although my lack of any credentialing here would be a hindrance to that...
[ He really hates this. ]

But I'll look into legal avenues.
