Season 2 Episode 3 Scene 11 Science Fair
In reply to Zoey Krass (msg # 8):
Susan frowned at being reminded of their lost project.
"We should be able to whip up something passable, even if it's not as elaborate. "
She actively tried not to look over at Amanda with the annoyed glare sue felt the younger girl deserved, but her close friends could tell it was a serious effort.
She sighed, taking a deep breath, as if to gather her thoughts, and her conviction, and looked at her friends.
"Okay. ....maybe we need, all of us, to have a serious talk about proprietary. We've all seen some REALLY weird stuff. Magic, advanced super science, and things that seemed beyond both, but we need to remember how important it is to keep that stuff a SECRET "
She put some serious emphasis on the last word, in the bossy and no nonsense way that was quickly becoming "saying things in a very 'Susan' kind of way".
She sighed, wincing a little, as if worried she was overstepping her bounds.
"Look, I'm as excited by all.the things we've seen as anyone, but to the rest of this town, including many of our family members, we're just a bunch of random kids in a mediocre high school. If we want to keep it that way, we need to keep a low profile. That means no using magic or Atlantean science...or stolen technology....in a school project that'll be seen by everyone and their Uncle Herschel. We NEED to be careful here. Or all this could come to a screeching halt."
She seemed a bit flushed, as if she were trying, with limited success, to stay calm and casual about her concerns
