Professor Hornshaw asked me to start a thread for young scientists who accept the Brazen Inquiry Guild’s job offer. Please post your formal acceptances here. Along with your acceptances, we would like to hear how you might help the Guild:

--How will your latest invention further humankind's mastery of the natural world? 

--What wild animal would you most like to domesticate, and why?

--Do you have any relevant certifications (i.e. cage building, cage soundproofing, cage maintenance, interrogation techniques, testing cosmetics on animals, etc.)?  

I look forward to seeing you around the lab. Thank you and DOMINIUM EX SCIENTIA.

I accept the position! This may seem odd, because it is often thought that the magical community (comprised of wizards and witches like me) and the scientific community cannot coexist, but as a muggleborn (purebloods, quit hating on me), I can see the merits of both.

My inventions: I recently created a spell that allows communication with some mammals. I'm still modifying it and expanding it, but right now, it can communicate with big cats, gorillas, and a few other animals. I will not reveal the incantation yet, because in the wrong hands, it could do some serious damage.

Wild animal I would like to domesticate: probably some type of primate to examine the genetic similarities between us.

Credentials: 11 O.W.L.s from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and I am currently entering a NEWT course of study with an emphasis on Magizoology and Alchemy, my two favorite fields of study.

I look forward to beginning my work at B.I.G. Thank you for the opportunity.

I accept the offer! 

I think the Cypher will be very useful, so that we can ask animals their view before we go destroy their homes or anything, or try to take control (although I don't quite think that's the answer you were pushing for).

Um, I'm going to leave this one unanswered. WIld animals should stay wild. But don't worry, I'm still totally with you guys! 

I don't think any of these things are really necassary, but I have helped with the Cypher, and I guess I know how to keep a pet's cage comfortable and clean (I have a pet owl, although I mostly let him fly around my house).

Thank you so much! This is the opportunity I've always hoped for.

I must say that it sounds fasinating but it greatly upsets me. I will not take the postion, or sort of. Someone wirt don't take the job. I will happliey join if you do not mind telling me more detailed info for the messege prys my doubts into greater attention and greatly confuses me. This mytsterious character seems to like animals but doesn't want me to take the job. I shall sone give more proper of an introdution once my doubts are erased.

In great fascination,

Callie

I long for the job but I need more info. A matter makes me greatly suspicious. It seems like a great job but I am kept away by my douts. I shall give a proper introduction as soon as I am not confused. But untill I give no info exect that I am a shapeshifter. In all respect I must sigh off untill further notice.

Fine, temptations too great. Ignore my first letters. I am a talented shapeshiffter who ironicly took part in buliding the cypher. I will join if I'm not a test subject. I'm not the strongest kid but I'm fast and clever. Note that when I'm feeling strong in a certain emotion I turn into a northern she what. I can't help. I have a great green thumb and would like a pet MOUSE (not a rat. rats are creepy). I also like to experiment. I am a cat/bird trainer. Even though I can naturally speak to animals I wanted other people to be able to too. Also cats and some birds like owls iI think can reason like a human. I am not a crackpot. Note I mean a few animals not something like a crow.

I have formally accepted The Brazen Inquiry Guild's offer.

My latest invention is a certain thing that is disguised as a pocket mirror the allows you to see anyplace in the Kyngdom without anyone seeing you. Very good for several things including capturing, you can see the thing you are capturing, where it is, and what it is doing.

I wouldn't choose to domesticate a wild animal. If I had to choose one to domesticate I would domesticate a rhino. Rhinos are incredibly dangerous and that could be useful.

No, of course not. I would be good at things like protection for the Brazen Inquiry Guild structure, capturing, keeping spies out, or spying.

I will accept the position. My latest invention is a powder that controls the growth of grass. I would most like to domesticate an owl because they are very smart (but still not as smart as humans). I can play the piano in a way that entrances animals, so that they're easier to capture.

Hello!

I am joining B.I.G. with excitement.Laughing

My latest invention was a circus device that when you pressed a button, a clip on the animal sends a small jolt of electricity into them as a cue. 

I would like to domesicate a fox the most.

I am qualified in the fields of interrogation techniques and cage soundproofing.

I hope I am a help to you and DOMINIUM EX SCIENTIA.

Greetings! I have been an informer for B.I.G for over a year. I am typically very busy with my assignments, but the authorities have given me orders to help here all I can.

I am entirely at your convenience (excepting when I recieve an emergency mission).

I shall await your commands.

*snarl*

Why. I do not want to. You think a cat will do this. Design things to trap other animals. I don/t think so. Testing cosmetics on animals? Heartless ape.

I would love to be part of B.I.G!

-My greatest invention is the trackpurse. It looks like a regular purse but it gathers information and fires a tracking chip at every animal it sees. This way you can monitor more than 9000 animals.

-The wild animal I would like to domesticate most is the black leopard known to non feline experts as the black panther. They are sneaky and dangerous perfect for a guardian or warrior.

-I can't do much involving cage building and that stuff but I am a feline expert.
