Professor Fulcrum's Links
Variens was one of a number of animal-people scientists at the research facility they were both originally set in, and unfortunately Fulcrum's attention was too occupied with other facility members to ever think of her as anything more than a colleague he wasn't too familiar with. Had they had more of a chance to interact, it's possible their shared nature as a mish-mash of animal parts would have given them common ground, though Fulcrum has little interest in the doctor's research field of weird physics.
Not that she'd ever tell anyone, but Dr. Variens has a slight crush on Professor Fulcrum. Perhaps it's because she's never actually SEEN him? Apparently he smells very intriguing to some part of her hindbrain. I imagine she likes to keep him updated with her latest findings, but I couldn't tell you what he thinks about a 7-foot kiwi barging into his office to discuss that alternate universe she found where his counterpart an emperor.
In the original RP I believe they were friendly working partners, though they never really collaborated on anything.
