"Food, or something else related to... Holy..." she says, as she starts scrolling down a page of results, "The professor has over a hundred patents, and they all look like obscure medical devices."

at 14:02 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Whoa, really? Cool! Let me see!" Tony hops over to Tammy, looking at the information she pulled up on the smartphone. He scratches his chin in thought while he does his best to read over her shoulder.
"If Prof. H has that many patents that you can pull up on public records, I bet there's more info on the Internet about her and the other people at this place..." Tony pulls out his own smartphone and begins his own query about the school and it's staff and faculty...

at 19:04 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)11:44, Today: Aeternitas, on behalf of Tonauac 'Tony' Torres, rolled 21 using 1d20+6. Google-fu.
Tony quickly discovers that no matter how he formats his search entry, Professor Georgia Henningsen barely exists on the internet. She has a Facebook page that shows no information at all to public viewers aside from her marriage, not even a picture. It would be hard to tell it was even hers, were it not for the fact that Doctor Neil Henningsen's profile is complete and almost completely public. Her name also appears on several articles in major science journals, but all of them are behind a paywall.
Doctor Neil Henningsen has a much larger presence, such that he shows up in the results for the Professor no matter what Tony tries doing to filter him out. He's on a list of people consulted by a little-known congressional hearing regarding mutants, authored (or more likely, sponsored a lawyer to author) a bill proposing adding genetic diversity protections to existing anti-discrimination laws, and there's a newspaper article from the nearby city of Durango talking about the school, complete with a picture of Doctor Henningsen being run out of a town hall meeting in San Hares. Dennis is also in this picture.
Dennis himself has a very small presence, just a Facebook page that doesn't have all that much set as publically visible. What Tony can see is interesting, however, as it includes a picture of Dennis in a Marine Corps uniform with a whole lot of awards on his chest. Most of the things he publically shares are veterans issue or inspirational memes with a detectably Buddhist slant.
Erika Olensson has a larger presence consisting almost entirely of typical stuff like fashion, cooking, and cute animals.
Rena Flagg appears to have an entirely public profile on just about every social media site except Facebook, all of which is completely inundated with art and music oriented posts with a smattering of green living stuff and new age spiritual mumbo jumbo - most of which coincide in the same post.
Oops! Rena hasn't been introduced at this point in time. My bad!
Winona Schutz, the nutritionist, does not appear to exist online at all.

at 02:42 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)While the other two go into research mode on their phones, Blake gets a sort of mopey look on his face, and quietly presses a hand to something hidden in the folds of his tattered coat, as though reassuring himself of its presence. With a small sigh, he turns his attention back to the show.

at 06:00 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tammy looks up suddenly, turning her head more towards the wall than anyone else, and then she sighs, "Well, assuming I'm reading this right, that's one way for 聲gel to cool his head."
She watches the show for several minutes and then gets up and says, "I'll be back in a minute," before she heads out into the hallway...

at 13:55 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Whoa," Tony says to himself as he looks through the information. He has seemingly forgotten about the show, and is scrolling through the results of his research.
"Sure," he says to Tammy, waving at her as she heads out.
"Yo, Blake, check this out." Tony hands the smartphone over to Blake.
"Lots of interesting stuff on Dr. H. Not as much on his wife, though. Looks like Dennis is also a bit of a big deal. I'm not sure to make about Ms. Olensson, though. Well, unless you like cute animal pictures..."

at 00:25 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake takes the phone carefully in his palm, skimming what's on the screen while Tony talks. After about a minute, when the screen goes dark, he sighs again and hands it back to Tony.
"So they've definitely known about us, or people like us at least, for some time. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they're planning to do with us, huh?"
Blake ponders for a moment, "I bet you could get something out of the Doctor if you talked to him alone sometime. He doesn't strike me as the type to be good at hiding things."

at 01:38 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Ah, whoops, you could probably use this, too," Tony unlocks the screen and hands Blake his stylus.
"Yeah, you're probably right about Dr. H. It'd be a I'm not sure how good I'd be at doing it. I've never been much of a smooth-talker, before or after my transformation. As far as I know, animal magnetism wasn't one of the things I gained. How about you?" He gives a shrug with a lopsided smirk.
"Still, I'm liking what we're seeing. I'm pro-Occam's Razor, anti-conspiracy theory, so it looks like this group cares about people like us. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt."

at 02:50 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Thanks." Blake says, taking the phone once more. "I can't even use my phone anymore; too small and fragile, I don't wanna break it." he adds with a frown as he tries to be as delicate as possible with the tiny stylus.
"I'm a little inclined to agree with you though, it looks pretty good here. Mind you, where I come from, no one does something for nothing; so let's just say I reserve the right for an 'I told you so.'"
Finishing up with what he can read off the screen, he passes the phone back again. "Maybe I'll see if I can get something out of the doctor if I run into him. Before my change, I was pretty good at getting what I wanted out of people." Blake says, with a lopsided grin.

"If you're a people person, I'll keep ferreting out leads."
Tony sits back and starts watching the show. He glances out the door, and then returns his focus back to the computer screen.
"I wonder if 聲gel has calmed down. Dude is kind of a loose cannon."

"Enjoying the show?" she asks, pulling out her phone in preparation to start the next episode.

When Angel steps in, Blake glances up a little cautiously, but relaxes when Angel apologizes. "Its cool. Have a seat."

"Honestly, I kinda missed the whole episode.

at 00:51 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tammy shrugs and just turns the stream off instead.
"I guess like, let's talk about the other stuff, instead. It seems to be on everyone's mind anyway," she says, scooting her seat slightly forward and then again to rotate it a bit so that she faces the group better.
Having accomplished that she looks between the three boys but doesn't say anything further yet.

at 01:10 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"Yeah, maybe we can try again later once we're settled in. But, check this out," Tony says. He pulls out his smartphone and brings up the different websites with the information on Dr. H, Prof. H, Dennis, and Ms. Olensson. He hands it over to Tammy and 聲gel.
"This might make you feel a bit better about what's going on and where you are, dude," he adds to 聲gel as he pulls up the pages with Dr. H's pro-mutant efforts.
"There's still tons of questions to ask, but I think we're in a safe place while we hunt down the answers."

at 01:25 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)聲gel looks over what Tony found. "Okay, really what he has planned isn't what set me off. Well, not just that. I'm dealing with issues and I need to find new ways of dealing with them. I don't want to hurt anyone. Well, maybe gang members.
"I don't really understand what you found, but I'm willing to trust the three of you. If you think things are on the level here, I'm willing to accept that."

at 01:40 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Blake interjects at that. "Well, mostly on the level at least. What they're presenting here seems to be legit, but I'm sure there's something else going on." He shrugs with a self-depreciating smile, "I might just be paranoid though. Everyone really has been out to get me the last few weeks after all."

at 02:36 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)Tammy frowns at Blake's comment and insists, "I'm confident that we're safe here. Finding Professor Henningsen's patents for medical devices or Doctor Henningsen's attempt to get legal protections for mutants are just icing on the cake. You can tell just by talking to them, even though Doctor Henningsen is, awkward and Professor Henningsen can be a bit, cold, they wouldn't be doing this just to set a trap. And then there's Dennis! I get the feeling like, he wouldn't do anything he doesn't want to do, and he wants to help."
Then she looks over at 聲gel and sets her hand on his arm, the small gesture silently carrying her support.

at 02:59 | [Side] TV in Tammy's Room (8/29/15)"It did bug me that he knew how to draw my blood," 聲gel says. "But if he's worked with others like us it makes sense I guess."
He looks down at Tammy's hand on his arm and gives her a smile. "Look, why don't we drop this for now. We can discuss it more once we know more. If you want to watch another show, I'm up for it. If not, I'll grab a shower as it turns out pond water isn't as clean as you might think."
Edit: Fixed my post as I forgot when this was taking place.
