They're government scientists, for starters. Which usually implies that they're smart and they're really not. They like to poke around in things considered paranormal. Immortality. Other possible dimensions. Psychic abilities. Shit no one should be poking with because it'd take us far too long to understand.
[She'll let that sink in some.]
