False Promises (Part 2)

Part 1

Hero never got bored or looked the least bit uninterested when Scientist talked about new ideas. Most people would zone out long before they really got into a lecture, but still had the decency to nod and comment politely. Hero didn't offer any empty pleasantries. It was funny how similar they were to Supervillain in that way.

Hero asked questions. Not as many as Supervillain and not nearly as introspective, but they made Scientist think. Not just about their work, but about themself, too.

Hero asked for their favorite color. They didn't know. No one ever cared. Questions like that left them feeling flustered and off balance. But there were ones they could answer more easily. Like why erlenmeyer flasks were shaped in such a funny way, or what caustic chemical they most preferred.

Both Hero and Supervillain were fishing for information. Scientist was more than aware there were alterior motives (there always would be). Supervillain poked and proded their mind for their thought process - the way anything and everything worked, how they planned to make and use their own creations. And Hero...

Hero wanted to know them as a person. It baffled Scientist, really, to be seen as more than what they'd done and what they could do. Hero didn't care much for science, but they cared when Scientist had something to say. They didn't preach the glories of a career in heroics, though Scientist was sure that's what they were sent for.

Scientist was useful to Supervillain. With them, they felt needed. Wanted. With Supervillain came admiration and awe at not only the power they had, but the potential they saw in Scientist and their work.

Their relationship with Hero was harder to place. At first Scientist was merely tolerant as Hero seemed content to simply observe and learn. They weren't sure when tolerance turned into...Scientist was reluctant to call it friendship. But Hero was there. They were present and attentive and there, which was more than Scientist could ever ask for.

~

A beaker crashed on the floor, but Scientist hardly cared for the danger of broken glass when there was a much more immediate threat looming in the doorway. "What- Wh-What are you doing here?"

It had been months since they'd last seen that face. They should have locked the doors, turned out the lights, pretended they'd gone home when Hero suggested it.

Supervillain cocked their head. Scientist could see the thoughtful look in their eyes as they considered what to say. "I made a misjudgment," they settled on. They spoke slowly and carefully in a measured effort to craft a regretful image.

Scientist didn't doubt they were regretful. But not for them. No, they felt remorse for the lost opportunities, for time wasted, when they realized that not only had Scientist survived, but that they'd been recruited by the heroes as well.

Too late Scientist realized that they'd backed themself into a corner. The only door into the lab was on the far side of the room and the windows were at least three stories up from the ground level. They didn't have an escape route.

Scientist should have known better.

They should have known better than to accept the help of heroes after hiding for so long; better than to choose a side that wasn't their own.

Maybe...maybe that was their plan all along. Superhero's speeches about the 'good of the people' never worked, so the heroes sent someone who could appeal to them. Someone who could get them to lower their guard and gradually change their mind. Someone who could be their friend.

Like a fool, Scientist fell for it. Just like they fell for Supervillain.

“Tata Chemicals Europe today opened the UK’s first industrial scale carbon capture and usage plant today, signaling a key milestone in the race to meet the UK’s, and the world’s, net zero targets.

The plant captures 40,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide each year—the equivalent to taking over 20,000 cars off the roads, and ten-times more than what GNN reported to be the world’s largest carbon capture factory just 10 months [earlier, in late 2021].

The $24 million (£20 million) investment has been completed by UK-based Tata Chemicals Europe, one of Europe’s leading producers of sodium carbonate, salt and baking soda, and they expect it to lower their carbon emissions by more than 10%.

The project will help unlock the future of carbon capture as it demonstrates the viability of the technology to remove carbon dioxide from power plant emissions and to use it in high end manufacturing applications.

The party trick is that in a world first, carbon dioxide captured from energy generation emissions is being purified to food and pharmaceutical grade and used as a raw material in the manufacture of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) which will be known as Ecokarb®. This unique and innovative process is patented in the UK with further patents pending in key territories around the world.

Ecokarb® will be exported to over 60 countries around the world. Much of the sodium bicarbonate exported will be used in hemodialysis to treat people living with kidney disease.

It will also be used to essential items like glass, washing detergents, pharmaceutical products, food, animal feed and in water purification.

The carbon capture plant, which was supported with a £4.2m grant through the UK Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s (“BEIS”) Energy Innovation Program, marks a major step towards sustainable manufacturing which will see Tata make net zero sodium bicarbonate and one of the lowest carbon footprint sodium carbonate products in the world.” -via Good News Network, 7/8/22

Putting this in the tags as well, but this is why ginger ale and saltines work on a medical level to reduce nausea:

Ginger contains a chemical Gingerol. Gingerol, when we eat it or drink it in ginger-based foods and drinks, causes our GI systems to empty food and acids from the stomach to your small intestine faster, which reduces the nausea caused by a stomach bug/mild food poisoning/motion sickness. The more your stomach senses it's empty and calm, the less it tells your brain you're sick. Ginger is also a natural anti inflammatory, which can calm an irritated stomach and further reduce your symptoms.

Saltines are leavened (raised) using baking soda rather than yeast. Baking soda's chemical name is Sodium Bicarbonate. Sodium bicarbonate is the primary active ingredient in many OTC antacids that are known to treat nausea caused by acid indigestion.

By these two ingredients combined, you have a very efficient and natural way of settling an upset tummy while also getting some extra nourishment and electrolytes to further help your body recover and your symptoms to go away faster.

FYI: If you're so nauseated that you can only handle sipping water, mixing about 1/2tsp or 2.84g of baking soda into room temperature or lukewarm water will turn the water into a very, very mild, flavorless antacid. Please remember to talk to a doctor if you're experiencing new, protracted, or worsening symptoms.
