After the Show

Aha! Here's the first one he sent after he got added to his research group:

Excellent news my friend!! I was added to the research team of Doctor Blume! Apparently it's pretty rare to be added in the middle of an academic term, but one of his students dropped out and he said he needed a full team. I tried to find out a little more about what happened to the last guy, but everyone always changes the subject when I bring it up. I guess it's a sensitive subject? Maybe he was stealing glassware or something, haha..

Anyways, Doctor Blume told us not to discuss at length what we're working on, but I can trust you, right? You're not gonna post this on the Internet, right? [Sensitive data omitted because I'm such a nice friend...] ...

Anyway, when he does choose to be detailed it's too technical for me to decipher anyways.
