Mei decides that while it would probably be best to avoid the strange man with the soda can, she was about to spend quite some time with him aboard the vessel. Best to get to know him now.
She walks up behind him, and clears her throat. "Um, hi. I'm Mei." She extends a hand.
Drake shakes Mei's hand frantically and uncomfortably.
"Hello there, fellow researcher! I am Drake. Drake Ashford. It is great to see other's with such an interest and knack for science! People say I'm crazy, I don't know why though..."
"As you can see, I have made this soda can a useless paste with the power of !SCIENCE! But hopefully it can me molded into a slightly-less useless hyper-dense metallic alloy. Of science."Drake doesn't seem to be the most sane of people.
