down again. I need to talk to you about an idea I had while digging up information on your find. I think there is a bigger, no huge other opportunity you are not considering. Think about this for a moment. What if this is the renewable energy source that the world has been searching for? What if we can reproduce this stuff and harness it just like solar energy is used. Just look at the jolt you took from something that came up from deep in the ocean about 2-weeks ago and not protected or stored in any special way. This stuff must be very resilient. I say we don’t publicize this discovery until we can figure out what it is, and if it has any useful purpose.”
I could see that Bill’s mind must have been running a million miles an hour as he thought about what I just said. Turning to look at the two containers of the mystery juice, he said, “Rico, I feel really good about what you said. I think we may be looking at one of the greatest discoveries of all times, but it could take months if not years to get to the bottom of it with some specialized gear and we may have to consult with specialists that are much smarter than us in certain areas. You know that I do not have a cent and or a job yet. Are you willing to put up the money we need to see this through?”
Without a second of hesitation, I shouted “Hell yeah” at the top of my lungs and high fived Bill with a resounding smack. Starting to get a bit hungry and eager to get started, Bill and I both agreed that having Thai food delivered and a cold beer was the way to go. While I headed upstairs to call in the order and fill a cooler with beer, I left Bill staring at the containers.
Man , Rico has sure rocked my world Bill thought to himself. I do not think I would have thought it though the way he did. With a shiver of excitement to an extent that he had never felt before, or maybe not since Christmas as a kid, he smacked his fist on the table and started to think about next steps. First thing to accomplish is to protect the specimen from contamination or extreme elements he thought. Next, we need to figure out exactly what it is and how it lives so that it does not die out on us and if possible reproduce it. Things started to flash in his mind from all the classes he took over the last few years. As Rico came back, he was ready to sketch out some basic steps for him.
“ You got it all figured college boy,” Rico said. “No but I do think that my education may pay off a little earlier than expected,” a thoughtful Bill responded. Cracking a beer and taking a long pull before speaking, Bill started to lay out his strategy, but first asked Rico to capture everything said and take notes on his laptop. He also added, “I think we need to keep detailed accounts of every test and observation going forward from here on and we should turn part of the first floor into a formal lab environment.” Rico immediately agreed with the concept recognizing the wisdom of Bill’s words especially if we were going to take this seriously. Pulling his laptop to him, Rico typed in everything that Bill identified as needed. The laundry list of items included:
Dedicated network and PCs to capture data and connect test equipment to
High-end microscope with the options to capture photos
A couple of sensitive volt/ohm meters
Glass specimen jars in a variety of sizes
Specialized thermometers that can output readings to a PC
Identify a lab that can analyze of the composition of the mystery fluid
Rico, since you have done the most observation and thinking about this so far, I think you should jot down all your observations no matter how important you think they are. I will add in the information from when I was on the ship about coordinates, water temperature and water analysis, from the information stored on the University’s servers.
