[Unless the experiment was meant to, somehow, find something like that?]

[Seems like a long shot. Who'd fund that?]

[Well, maybe it was just a possible bonus to the project. Secret experiment to become Isabella's sub, also small chance of finding another planet.]

[I suppose. But then you were missing and not around to be mine. Contrary to the primary goal.]

[These scientists are clearly not very good at their jobs.]

[They did produce me a lovely pet though.]

[Maybe they're good bioengineers but not very good at setting up their experimental constraints?]

[That's probably it.]

[There must be all sorts of wild experiments they let escape!]

[Discovering planets left and right.]

[No, that's me in particular, the other experiments are finding cryptids, traveling through time, finding lost ancient cities...]

[Oooh.]

[All those pictures of Sasquatch? Fake, the real one was found by this dom named Jenna forty years ago, we learned her story in experiment school.]

[Experiment school.]

[Oh no! Did I mention that out loud? It was supposed to be a secret!]

[Tell me all about experiment school, lovely.]

[Oh, it was very military-style, they taught us all about our secret goals, there was history and statistics and it was very hard!]

[Were you top of your class?]

[No, I was very lazy and cheeky and got detention a lot.]

[I love you.]

[I love you too!]

And eventually Isabella comes home from work and admires Sadde's new coat.

It is very snazzy!

"Hi, ma'am! I missed you! Isn't that ridiculous? We spent all day talking and yet."

"It's not ridiculous." She plops onto her couch and motions him over.

He is successfully motioned over! "Well. It's something. I'm just always over the moon when I'm around you."
