Uranium found Mercury crunching numbers on her souped-up steampunk laptop. "More immortality research?" she asked.

"Yep," Mercury said. "I'm almost ready to start anti-aging treatments on Chloe."

Like most of Mercury's friends, Uranium could not deny Mercury's amazing youthfulness, but she remained skeptical. "Be careful, Hy. Chlorine isn't a scientist, and she's not QUITE as barking mad as you."

"Of course," Mercury said. "And my offer to give YOU an extension on life still stands."

"Thanks, but one lifetime is enough for me," Uranium said modestly. "And if I got involved in your 'Weird Science', Moly would kill me anyway."
