And yet Noa, given her otherworldly nature, would have been perfectly capable of bending space or adherence to easily reach, but oh wasn't it funnier to find a way both creatures knew didn't exist and test Tularemia's both patience and commitment to the game? Yes indeed.
The Professor tilted their head. A difficult question that was. "I'm afraid there is no precise way to say what the Red Science is. It is a catchall term for everything related to bending the natural law using its very foundations against it. Writing Correspondence is a basic act of Red Science, capable of generating heat, energy and flame without the usual needs for fuel or oxidizers. Building a box with a different space inside than inside, making an airship both heavier than air and lacking any aerodynamics which stays above ground just by mocking gravity, or a brass alloy that never loses temperature no matter how much heat it shares with the environment, are some examples."
"Less physical examples exist as well, like the very streets of London: If you walk with your back turned towards an alley you may find a very different alley than what would be there had you walked up front. An idea that can't leave your mind even if it wasn't directly conveyed in what you read or heard. Or the very Neathbow and its diverse effects. Almost all of the Neath isn't but a huge, proportionately complex Red Science project if you look at it in that way. So, to ask the question... Red Science is to make possible the literally impossible, just because you learned what forbid it, and decided to not care."
"And how does one research it? There's no easy answer either. I impart some classes about it, as much as the University and Ministry of Public Decency allow. The most usual way to become familiar with it is to choose one such incoherence and become familiar with it. The more you understand its new logic, which is still logic no matter how alien, the closer you are to reaching its root, and how it carved its way through conventional science to grow into what you're witnessing. Upon understanding how other did it, you can start thinking on how will you. Starting with little things, like resorting to writing on a flame's ashes instead of stoking them, you can end with greater things, like reescaling an object via, for instance, a clever mirror trick that suddenly reflects reality."
The explanation had the Professor stopping in front of the door to better look at Mori and his reactions to such a, most likely, disappointing explanation. Alas, mysteries are what they are, at the time being. Once finished, they turned to open the door to the house's library (the one that becomes apparent has taken over more than half of the whole floor), which not only contains shelves packed with volumes, novels, assays, papers, scrolls and even trablets, but also different strange curios and samples of many corners of the Neath, from once-living beings beautifully (or dissectedly) preserved to man-made (or other-made) wonders. It is far from organized, but upon closer inspection and some familiarity with the Professor's thought processes one would find quite a careful disposition of the several subjects, authors and dates.
