The Meeting #
Inside the site office trailer, tension peaks during a formal review. Parrini notes the "interesting asymmetry" in the week's dataset. Elena Rossi sharpens the point: "The math is... divergent."
Ulysses hides his shaking hands, mumbling about "adjusting the gain for dielectric variance."
Parrini cleans his glasses, the silence deafening. "I cannot have a 'private' methodology on this dig. If the model works for you, it should be a universal tool, not a personal miracle."
The threat is clear: "The Nature paper has my name on it. I didn't assemble this project to watch you become its face."
