( When the video comes up, a redhead with carefully applied makeup and purposefully-tousled waves comes on the screen, looking a little more like she's about to take a selfie than shoot a video. She's looking at the camera, but she isn't necessarily smiling, so much as just...looking thoughtful. )

Okay, so maybe reaching out to a mass audience is the best way to do this, so here goes. I'm Lydia and I'm feeling incredibly indecisive about a focus of study. I should probably keep my mind sharp between now and the time I end up back home/MIT, so I'm going to go to the university. That said, I don't really see any point in pursuing biochemical engineering here because none of it will probably transfer back home. So, fellow science-minded people of Cadelle, name your favorite science; help me pick a major.

Oh, and also...I'm volunteering on Sunday mornings at 10:00 a.m. the Women's Building teaching self-defense classes.

( Because she's pretty sure it's the kind of thing Allison would do and if Chris isn't here, maybe it's up to Lydia to keep some piece of her still alive. This is the only way Lydia knows how. She's kind of garbage with a bow and arrow and she probably always will be. )

So ladies, if you've always wanted to learn how to kick somebody's ass if you're cornered in a bad way, or even if you just want to learn something while staying in shape, stop by. Don't make me be the girl who has an empty class her first day; that would be really embarrassing for me. I'll see you there!

( She grins a little and winks at that before wiggling her fingers in a little wave at the camera. Then, the picture cuts out and the video ends. )

So my favorite science is Weird Science.

[yes, he's trolling you. Lovingly]

( no, caroline's not the science-minded former mean girl galpal of lydia's dreams, but she can offer a little help in the Ladies Who Kick Ass department. or, at the very least, a shopping buddy. )

Kicking ass and taking names, huh?

[you are speaking his language here, lydia. hello.]

So, I can't exactly say "here you should look in to this". But while you're here, you can at least check out a few different fields and see what appeals the most to you. I mean, if you're ever interested in checking out the labs at the CPD, I'd be happy to show you around. I'm the CSI there, but it's also something I did back home too, so it's not exactly new. I majored in organic chemistry too, so if you want someone to talk to, it's not all that far removed from biochem. I mean, if that's something you're interested in. I know you said you wanted to try something else, but-- [okay barry. breathe.]

Yeah. Okay. Shutting up now. Sorry.

[just ignore the fact that he seems far too happy to actually be all that apologetic about it. SCIENCE BUDDY!]

I might check that class out.

That's like asking someone to pick their favorite child. I can't do that.

[ Spencer has that miffed-complaint tone that shows he really does think of her as a friend at this point. ]

I'll come to your class.

[Of which Malia does not need, but friends supporting friends and also there's no math involved. It sounds like a win win.]

[ Oh shit. She's smart, she's commanding, and she's a redhead. Ohhh, Buck is so doomed. ]

Wow, I sure don't know where to start with you. [ He's soaking this girl in while he considers her question. ] Uhh, guess if I had to choose—Physics, I'd say. It's practical.

[ Or it is in his occupation, at least. ]

Also, if you ever need an extra fighting dummy for your class, give me a ring, doll! I won't charge much.
