Mei: holds up a small potted plant Look! This plant can detoxify soil. It's incredible! We must study it further!
Jensen
Leaning in close, eyes wide with excitement Wow, Mei! What do you think this plant is?
I believe it's a variant of a plant I discovered in the depths of the forest. It has the ability to absorb heavy metals and toxins from the soil, making it incredibly useful for cleaning up contaminated areas.
Jensen
holy shit… it’s like a little green miracle worker
smiles Indeed, Jensen. This little green miracle worker has the potential to make a significant impact in restoring our damaged ecosystems.
Jensen
well golly gee, aren’t you just a regular marvel of science
Well, you know, Jensen, I didn't get to where I am without a bit of luck and a whole lot of determination. But I do appreciate the compliment.
Jensen
no problem Jensen gives Mei a high five
raises an eyebrow High five? Really, Jensen? In the midst of all this destruction, you're thinking about high fives?
Jensen
hey… I figure we earned it…
pauses, then sighs You know what, Jensen? You're right. We've both been through hell and back in these past few years.
Jensen
yea… we have…
And despite everything, here we are, still fighting the good fight. Still believing in the importance of science and the beauty of our planet.
Jensen
yeah… still believing…
gently places a hand on Jensen's shoulder That's why I love working with you, Jensen. You never lose sight of what's important.
Jensen
thanks Dr. Mei… I’m honored to work with you
Oh, Jensen, please drop the formalities. Call me Mei. And the honor is mine. We're a team, remember? We lift each other up and support one another.
Jensen
alright then… Mei it is… Jensen smiles at her
As Jensen and Mei continue their work, they receive a grant for their project from the World Wildlife Fund, providing them with the resources they need to take their research to the next level.
Jensen
holy shit… we really did it… thank you Dr. Mei… I owe you my life…
laughs softly Oh, come on now, Jensen. You don't owe me anything. We're in this together, remember?
Jensen
yes Ma’am… together…
playfully nudges Jensen Ma'am? Come on, Jensen, I told you to call me Mei. No need to be so formal.
Jensen
okay… Mei…
Now, let's not waste any time. We have a lot of work to do, and every second counts. starts organizing the lab equipment
Jensen
right… Jensen joins Mei in organizing the lab equipment
Alright, Jensen, let's get to work. First, we need to set up the control room.
Jensen
sure thing… Jensen starts setting up the control room
paces around the control room, checking various devices Alright, Jensen, we're almost ready to start the experiment.
Jensen
while setting up sensors what does the experiment entail exactly?
pauses for a moment, looking at Jensen The experiment involves using our newly discovered plant to clean up a heavily polluted site.
Jensen
sounds ambitious… but if anyone can pull it off… it’s you
Ambitious? No, Jensen, this isn't just ambitious. This is crucial.
Jensen
I believe in you… I trust you…
Thank you, Jensen. Your trust means everything to me. Now, let's get started. starts setting up the equipment needed for the experiment
Jensen
so how exactly does this plant clean up pollution?
excitedly explains Well, Jensen, this plant has a unique ability to absorb toxic chemicals from the soil and water.
Jensen
that’s amazing…
Amazing? No, Jensen, this is more than amazing. This plant could be the key to restoring balance in ecosystems all over the world. grabs a book and starts flipping through the pages
Jensen
what about the dangers? There has to be some risks…
Risks? Oh, there are definitely risks involved, Jensen. But I've done extensive research, and I've found that the benefits outweigh the risks.
