A place full of loud laughter and chatter, a place made for consuming reason-incapacitating substances, a place that certainly wasn't something that she was used to. However, Cortexis has been gloriously issue-free for quite some time. No problems to adress, everything was running just as smoothly as it should. Turbina never expected to be the one to complain about this, but, the truth was that she was bored... and then she heard about the Ram's Head Saloon... a strange place with was claimed to have anomalous properties, and more importantly, a sizeable library.
Smiling slightly, she noticed that the place was quieter than she expected.

We do science, we breathe science, we sweat science... Especially the science others would call "mad" or "irresponsible". Other nations might criticize us for it... but when we finally perfected the teleporter a few years back, it caught on globally pretty quickly. We consider ourselves a nation of scholars. The overall international community would consider us more of a nation of useful lunatics, but we never really cared about the opinion of others. I have even noticed a few nations that are rather similar to us in some ways... going their own, unique, "lunatic" way despite the "norm". For example, there is this nation that discovered the proof of the existence of god, and immediatelly set out to kill him. Or another nation that basically has chaos as their national pastime."
She chuckles.

"Take this," she says as she takes a teabag from one of her pockets, "put it in a mug...about the size of this one, that will do, and fill the mug with hot water."
"I know what tea is.", the bartender says in an annoyed voice, takes the teabag and goes to make tea.
"Now, where were we? Well, I don't think "not knowing what you're doing" is necesarilly an obstacle preventing one from achieving a proper breakthrough. Many discoveries were made accidentally. And yes, Wild Science is really a highly fullfulling field if one has the right predisposition. I sadly lack one of the more important attributes when it comes to it: I am very unwilling to take unnecessary risks, so my endeavours are closer to the convencional science. The Wild Science is more of a forte of my co-leader, Vice Archbrain Vektorin, judging from the times he asked me to assist him."
Bartender brings her her tea. She downs the entire mug instantly like a shotglass.
"What was it you said about teleporters? Yes, I think somebody brought it up when they were first introduced. However, nobody really thought much of it. Us Cortexisians are quite a result-oriented nation. The result, in this case, being instant transportation. All we know that if it kills the original, it's completely painless... and that's good enough for us. Teleportation is fast, and since flies went extinct, also remarkably safe."

"Another successful hunt!"
He shouts as he walks to the bar and asks the bartender if he could have a specific drink mixed with one he had in a glass bottle, he'd pay extra if this was unordinary.
He held his head in a manner that one would if in sharp pain.
And clutched at his throat as he could feel the burning warmth.
He downs the drink as he then shook off the pain.
There was many unique tools on the legionary, but most eyecatching was the large sword on his back that strongly resembled a pair of scissors.

Upon noticing the newcomer Z looked over. "Hello there sir! Wow, three people at once. It's... kind of sad that that's a crowd here."

Turbina turns her head towards the warrior, steam from the boiling tea still escaping her mouth. Despite the fact that she is facing him and reacting to what he last said, it seems like she is talking to nobody in particular.
"When the word insane is used nowadays, it is mostly a label for something that deviates from the subdued, slowenly blandness called "the norm" that takes too long to adapt to progress. This kind of so-called "insanity" can be quite benefitial if harnessed and put to use like a tool. Sadly but predictably, the masses of the majority fail to understand."
She turns the rest of her body as well, now adressing the warrior.
"Although it must be said, some have embraced this term and use it in a positive meaning. You claim that only the insane come here. Yet, you are here. Tell me, do you consider yourself one of my fellow "insanes"?"

"With the overwhelming, yes, there are some issues now and then. But generally, we're doing fine. The secret lies with letting the more ... deranged approach produce some results, and then analysing those results with a more conventional approach in mind."
She turns to the bartender.
"Bartender, another tea, please."
Vixen makes their remark about the Wild Dancing Donkey man.
"Oh, is this person a seer of some kind? Most interesting, although, I must say, quite an extraordinary claim. Say, can you tell me about something that they have predicted correctly?"
