A squat grey building with airlock-looking, doubled-up sliding doors at every entrance. The strict architecture and rules of this building mean that inside you will find a requirement you remain quiet at all times, narrow corridors, rooms locked away behind heavy doors and mandatory lab coats and goggles. The Advanced Research Centre is where the campus's own most delicate and complex experiments are conducted. This is the bane of many a third year's existence.

Thomas was bent over a small little object, fiddling away, frustrated. He'd had difficulty finding another superhuman; they were becoming difficult to track as everyone went underground. Maybe he needed to visit Olympus, or the vigilante underground. Try to find another one that way. His lecturer came by, smiling.
"Everything okay, Thomas?"
Thomas put on a smile and held up the object. "Yeah, think I'm just getting this," his thoughts turned to a tracking device. Should he try making one. He guessed the only resource was to go and actually talk to people. He sighed. Maybe he'd go to Olympus first; try and find some targets there. He waited for his lecture to finish them he headed off, grinding his perfect teeth.

(OOC: New day from above.)
Herbert had spent the night in his room, running his mind over the potential of his powers. He'd hardly been able to sleep. Then he'd thought he would talk to Lois, try to find out more about them. That had led him, dressed in jeans with a cream long sleeved sweater, to the Science building. unable to help himself he embraced Nathan's emotions and replicated his flight; not much wind today which Herbert learnt kinda made the slight wonky. No wind he bet he wouldn't even be able to lift off.
To any extent, he soared across the buildings, careful to keep out of site and touched down at the back of the building. He ran around quickly, pushing his hair out of his face and waited. He had a lecture later but this should be over by then. And the party was soon. He sighed; that'd be interesting.

Lois arrived outside Advanced Science and meant by the door waiting for her new lab partner.

Herbert spotted her nearby and ran up to her quickly.
"Hey Lois. You okay today?"

Lois grinned. "Oh Hey Herb. Yeah. I'm doing well. How did your thing yesterday evening go?"

Herbert grinned. "Fantastic, honestly. So where do we start? have you got a lab booked or?" He looked uncertain where to go next.

Lois nodded. "Yeah. I booked a lab last week in advance. I kind of hoped ibwould have something by now. I'm glad I do." She grinned. She passed a swab to Herbert. "Can you swipe that along the inside of your cheek for me?"

"Shouldn't we go to the lab first?" He asked, taking the swab. "And, sorry, what are you going to do with my DNA? I just don't want you trying to clone my powers or make them into some sort of weapon," he joked.

She laughed. "Yeah totes. ALL of the supersoldiers," Lois laughed. "We'll get walking now. I just figured we could multitask." Lois lead her way inside. "You will need goggles. Basically I'm going to attempt to map your genes basically. I have to try and isolate the appropriate genetics by trying to find the stimulus."

Herbert wasn't reassured but he was comforted by the fact that it was unlikely the gene could be replicated; if it could be someone would have done it, right? Otherwise he'd have to try and destroy the research. Weird thoughts but still. He reached out his empathy; he was getting excitement and gratitude more than anything else.
Off this he put the swab in his mouth before handing it back to her.
"And what will that do?"

"We can find out how it actually works and possibly how it was activated. I already have an experiment in mind to help. I have the DNA of some identical twins, one who was exposed to the vertex and activated a superpower and one who was not. That will narrow it down and digure out what the vertex did. Then we can see if the results were replicated in your DNA."

Herbert nodded. "Okay, fair enough." They reached the lab and Herb stepped in. "So do you think my power may be genetic though? With my family holding the gene."

Lois nodded. "It's quite possible, but I haven't got enough evidence to make a theory yet. You could have been holding the gene before the Vertex incident." She passed him a coat and some goggles. "Put these on. Did you have any similar moments before the Vertex incident?"

"Moments?" He asked as he put on the coat and goggles.
