smarterthandad[Conscious (when she wants to be) of appearances, for this post Valeria has put on a nice blouse without any girly-looking ruffles or bumblebee appliques, and pulled her hair back into a ponytail. This does not make her look any less like a three year old, but at least she's a three year old with neatly-styled hair in a shirt that doesn't scream "daycare escapee."]
People from my universe might know about Dad's new think tank, the Future Foundation.
[Reed got onstage at a futurism conference, told everyone they were losers and he was starting his own club withhookers and blowmoloids and clones, and dropped the mic.]
On top of some functions that aren't relevant here [giving a bunch of supergenius kids something constructive to do] it's a science-in-the-interests-of-humanity thing and I'm founding it here, too. The paperwork's all in order and the startup capital's arranged [thanks, Tony!] so now I'm hiring. I don't have specific roles in mind, since the Foundation's organization is intentionally ad hoc. Research scientists are always welcome and will have a lot of freedom within our general mandate, but I'm not interested in the kind of intellectual monoculture you get from surrounding yourself with academics, so a PhD isn't required. You will need to have or earn lab qualifications.
[Val learned something from the Shrink Ray Incident.]
Our initial project's going to be getting Dad's most recent generation of Skrull detectors online. There's no new theory involved, just implementation, so it'll make a good shakedown. After that, we can take on some humanitarian and public interest work.
[Annnnd here comes the annoying part, at least as far as Val's concerned.]
Since I'm not a legal adult, most of the outward-facing stuff is going to have to be done by other people. Holograms and voice masking don't cut it for more than casual face-to-face interactions. Internally, I'll be supervising, so you have to not mind reporting to me. [Don't be ageist!] ...The salary and benefits are competitive, if that helps.
[Now everyone can tell her what a terrible idea this is. It will have no impact whatsoever.]
