| + | |Value 10 = {{EO|10}} | ||
| + | |Effect 10 = F.F. Gebrandt is a valuable sounding-board, gently pushing and pulling on you until you reach your conclusions. Even if this is not her field of study, she has an ease for recalling facts and making connections. | ||
| + | |Value 40 = {{EO|40}} | ||
| + | |Effect 40 = F.F. Gebrandt works on chemical additives for locomotive fuel – ways to make the coal burn hotter, faster, brighter. | ||
| + | |Value 110 = {{EO|110 - 130}} | ||
| + | |Effect 110 = "We are moving into weapons research, then?" She smiles thinly. "Never got into the business myself; too much competition. And frankly, most days, it's more challenging to ''not'' make an explosive compound." | ||
| + | |Value 140 = {{EO|140 - 160}} | ||
| + | |Effect 140 = […] "What we are about with the Principle here is pure chemistry," […] "The Principles are dream stuff, and what is the reagent of dreams if not our own selves? Now hold still. You are caught up in this too." She reaches for a set of silver tongs […] | ||
| + | |Value 210 = {{EO|210}}, {{EO|240}} | ||
| + | |Effect 210 = You can't help but note the disdainful emphasis she puts on the word "Parabola." Her help is still invaluable, however, as she explains the relationship between different silver ammine solutions and the optical properties of the resulting mirrors. | ||
| + | |Value 220 = {{EO|220}}, {{EO|230}}, {{EO|260}} | ||
| + | |Effect 220 = […] "Geography is simply chemistry at scale, and urban planning is simply geography plus economics." She has little patience for historical detail or cryptic hints, but her insights prove useful in dismissing some of the more fanciful theories. | ||
| + | |Value 250 = {{EO|250}} | ||
| + | |Effect 250 = F.F. Gebrandt handles the scrip with a pair of tweezers and a disgusted expression. […] "At first I thought it was chemical […] But I think it may not be dependent on skin contact. I find myself wanting to build a […] lab in Jericho. Take it away, please." | ||
| + | |Value 310 = {{EO|310}} | ||
| + | |Effect 310 = "Why does it have to do ''everything''? […] Why is so much of it on fire?<p>She never stops scribbling on the margins of the schematics, selecting ideal materials for each part […] "Might as well do it right […] It ''will'' get a lot of work done." | ||
| + | |Value 350 = {{EO|320 - 330}}, {{EO|350 - 360}} | ||
| + | |Effect 350 = F.F. Gebrandt is no engineer, but her expertise in materials science is invaluable in ensuring pressure vessels don't burst and fly-wheels don't come apart. | ||
| + | |Value 410 = {{EO|410}}, {{EO|430}}, {{EO|460}}, {{EO|470}} | ||
| + | |Effect 410 = F.F. Gebrandt is happy to examine the metabolic processes of a living subject, and document their chemical pathways. You do have to stop her from using your experimental subject to test out a new formulation of her Renewed Tonsorial Formula […] | ||
| + | |Value 450 = {{EO|450}} | ||
| + | |Effect 450 = F.F. Gebrandt is happy to lend a hand identifying the many, many distinct fluids that seem to ooze from the shark's body when you cut into it, remove its organs, or just stare at it the wrong way. If the smell troubles her, she does not let you know. | ||
| + | |Value 465 = {{EO|465}} | ||
| + | |Effect 465 = F.F. Gebrandt is fascinated with spider silk – if only a similar polymer could be synthesized chemically, it would revolutionize the garment industry. The spiders don't seem all too pleased at the suggestion. | ||
| + | |Value 485 = {{EO|485}} | ||
| + | |Effect 485 = […] amniotic fluid […] fascinates her. "This liquid seems to contain instructions for the growing creature – implanting a purpose, nurturing loyalty, that kind of thing. If I could create a version that wasn't lethal to humans... think of the applications!" […] | ||
| + | |Value 490 = {{EO|490}} | ||
| + | |Effect 490 = "An egg?" F.F Gebrandt raises a quizzical eyebrow. "I shall fetch the miniature hammers." | ||
| + | |Value 495 = {{EO|495}} | ||
| + | |Effect 495 = […] "It has everything," she says, very pleased. "There's poisoning and healing, there's transformation and decay, and there's just the hint of something that would put the Masters out of joint, if they knew that I know."<p>[…] | ||
| + | |Value 510 = {{EO|510 - 610}} | ||
| + | |Effect 510 = F.F. Gebrandt is keenly interested in palaeontology, and is not afraid to bring her many hypotheses to bear on your present study. | ||
| + | |Value 810 = {{EO|810 - 830}} | ||
| + | |Effect 810 = "Geology is a fascinating, if trivial, subject." She insists on observing as you use her prototype of F.F. Gebrandt's Intermediate Rock and Mineral Identification Kit for Young Explorers & Geologically-Inclined Children. | ||
| + | |Value 1010 = {{EO|1010 - 1030}}, {{EO|1050}} | ||
| + | |Effect 1010 = F.F. Gebrandt has a solid grounding in theoretical physics and little patience for the more fanciful ideas of Neathy mathematicians. "Does this really have a practical application?" | ||
| + | |Value 1210 = {{EO|1210}} | ||
| + | |Effect 1210 = She is strict about lab safety protocol. She insists you both work under a fume hood. She feeds tiny bites of Murgatroyd's Fungal Crackers to the weasels. She takes very thorough notes on the effects of poisons. | ||
| + | |Value 1320 = {{EO|1320}} | ||
| + | |Effect 1320 = F.F. Gebrandt shows little interest in the cultural context of the artefact, but she is happy to assist in dating and cataloguing its material composition. | ||
| + | |Value 1340 = {{EO|1340}} | ||
| + | |Effect 1340 = F.F. Gebrandt is disinclined to approach the creature directly. Furnished with a few samples of limestone, however, she will learn what she can about it. | ||
| + | |Value 1350 = {{EO|1350}} | ||
| + | |Effect 1350 =[...] most curious [...] composition of the metal. [...] stripes of darker and paler colour [...] hand-forged steel blade [...] folded again and again. But [...] isn't steel, [...] doesn't think it was forged. [...] look more like [...] rings of a tree [...] the growth patterns [...] shell of an extremely large sea-creature. | ||
