Ms. Rambeau,

I apologize for the tardiness of my reply.  While the results certainly took less than 24 hours to compile, the implications alone caused me to do further research, which then lead to the attached documents.  I was able to input your data into a biomagnetic workup, as well as a neural schematic.  Might I say, your physiology is very interesting. If you would permit me to, I would enjoy working on this project.  

Sincerely,

Dr. Reed Richards

English and history major, remember? Any chance of a translation into a simple yes or no?

A simple yes or no is beyond my capability. Behind every answer is a litany of research, and I am troubled with the simplicity of this. After all, every human being -- nay, every LIVING being -- emits a certain level of radioactivity. Generally under 12 microns, but really, 5000 atoms of potassium-40 decays every second from our bodies. While this is essentially a negligible amount, it adds up. After all, after one year of sleeping next to someone, you absorb 1 millerem of radiation.

But, for all intents and purposes, you do not emit any more radiation than is normal for a human being.

I'd prefer you take this information with a grain of salt, so to speak, and read the reports.

I'll try, but I wanted to ease my mind about not killing off my friends with radiation. Thanks again, and as long as I can get someone to translate the science-speak, I don't mind you and Hank studying my powers together.

Monica.

I will speak with Hank.

No one should die from your powers.
