[ Caitlin lets out a sigh at that. Forty eight hours isn't a lot of time, so this will most definitely be a challenge, but neither is it too much of a time crunch. It's doable, but it'll be down to the wire, she thinks. ]
Well that's 24 more than I was worried you were going to give me.
[ She seems to brighten a little when he mentions that he has samples of the monster's DNA. That might actually make it even easier, if the monster is singular or at least is the only species that they're dealing with, because that way, she can develop to target the monster rather than to target all and cure humans.
Still, Ray's thought of that so Caitlin worries thoughtfully at her bottom lip with her teeth for a moment before responding. ]
Okay, so then we come at it from two angles and meet in the middle to cover our ground. I'll be there shortly if you can just kind of...guide me as to where there is. I've never been.
Is now a good time to tell you that it wouldn't be the worst idea, if we could do this in 24?
[ Okay really though, it's time to get serious. ]
Oh right yes. Of course I can do that. I'll send you the directions. [ Which, honestly, is not a sentence that Ray thought he'd ever say ever again. Not after Google Maps. He's still kicking himself a little for not inventing Google Maps.
And once Caitlin gets there, and actually gets to review his actual work, she'll get immediately why Ray has been focused on the monster's DNA. It's not even as broad as a single species that Ray's worried about. It's one parent, and a thousand children. Fast breeders, these monsters, but it also means they share DNA. ]
[ She says it with a tone that's both warning and amused. If he knew her better, he'd know that she'll be aiming to finish it as soon as possible and that twenty-four hour deadlines are preferable to forty-eight hour ones, anyway. Instead, she smiles a little when he gets back on track and says he'll send her instructions. ]
Okay, I'll be there soon, then. I'll head out right now.
(( ooc: do you want to keep playing out here, move it to a thread, or handwave her arrival? I'm okay with any of these things. :) ))
