"I think it does. He's very skilled at running calculations -- and not just because he's a Cylon." She looks up for a moment, expression thoughtful. "It's impossible not to be touched by magic after visiting the Nexus. It shapes even those of us from otherwise mundane worlds, in ways we don't always expect. I'm happy for Caspar that he got to chose something, rather than having it choose him."

Adia reserves most of her scientific passion for microbiology, but she's quick to show enthusiasm at anything that catches her interest or seems relevant to her time on Atlantis or in the Nexus. Good thing she's a quick study, although some research projects have to be shunted to the side in favor of more pressing matters. Thor's offer makes her smile brightly. "Oh, I'd love that, thank you. Aside from a few scouting vessels, we don't visit other parts of Earth out of respect for the natives. It'll be neat to finally see an aurora in person."

As much as she would love to sit and talk to Thor some more about the stars, the books in her messenger bag won't read themselves. "I ought to go if I'm going to get any research done today, but please contact me if you need me to entertain the kids, I'd be happy to."
