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!
My latest invention was helping with the Chypher. Obviously, using the Chypher you can communicate with animals, allowing us to access information we could never have otherwise.
I would never like to tame an animal, but if I could choose one to have as a companion, it would probably be a fox or a horse.
Other that an extensive knowledge of Chyper, I'm afraid I have none of those abilities. Are you sure those are beneficial to animal/human relationships?
(January 29, 2016 - 1:11 pm)
I officially accept the position, especially since I have already been involved in many B.I.G projects as Overseer of Minor Animal Research Transactions, as well as work on the Cypher. However, I have never been included in B.I.G. as a scientist of this position. I am honored!
My latest invention appears to be a normal pen, but it really hides multiple gadgets commonly (and uncommonly) used for animal research. Pocketsized and easy to carry around, it is useful for researchers in the wild who are collecting new wild creatures for B.I.G.'s enlightening experiments.
I would most like to domesticate the owl, not only because of a previous encounter with a wild one, but because I think their ability to fly is most useful.
I have been in several research expeditions including wild animals, so I am well equiped to work with the natural world.

I accept the position.
-It is a very advanced cage, which will help secure rogue animals.
-A snake. They are far too slippery and cunning.
-Yes, cage building, and cage sound proofing.
(January 29, 2016 - 5:17 pm)
I accept.
-I invented a machine that can sort of tell what animals are thinking based on posture and attitude, and it can usually tell you what they want (If they don't respect you, if they want food, or think you are food) I've only built a prototype, and it's still pretty faulty, but hey, just because it blows up doesn't mean it's not functional.
-A wolf. They are strong and powerful, but we need to let them know that huans are in control. They are a danger.
-I can build cages a reallty well and soundproof them too.
(January 29, 2016 - 6:18 pm)
Hmm... you want a wolf? I might be able to help you with that... But I'm an agent wolf, not a tameable one.
(February 6, 2016 - 7:58 pm)
I am highly inclined to accept your offer, and do believe I will. Things have been superfluous here at my lab, and I must say it shall be rather fine to take a breath of fresh air, and put projects on hold. I am truly honored that you have invited me, and I do not wish to dissapoint you in your descision. I shall begin packing at once, as further proof of my official agreement, and look forward to getting to work.
My latest invention is stylish and useful at the same time of course. And, might I add, rather convenient. Similar to an infinita capitii textilem, it is simply a purse with no end! How do I do this, you might ask, but the answer is rather simple. The purse, varying in style, is made up of a certain type of leather that can withhold it's form despite the circumstances. The inner layer of the purse is in fact constructed of a black hole, which is why this leather is used. I can not tell you how this works scientifically, to my displeasure, for I have not yet had the chance to patent it, but you can understand the usefulness of my object.
If I was to domesticate a wild animal, I would certainly chose Haliaeetus albicilla, the White-tailed eagle. Much larger then your usual eagle, it's wingspan averages around 7.2ft.
Alas, a hobby of mine has always been interrogation. I find tickling is actually a very effective way of retreiving information. I shall bring my materials if the need ever arises.
I do hope I can be of significant use, and look forward to arriving. Heu semper discendum est! Or, if your Latin might be shaky, "Alas, there is always more to learn!"
Sincerely, Giniva Timbrose

I can join but I have some very important business to attend so I'm making this entry quick. I'm creative and I have experience in electricity involving fire and me ending up in prison for the three hours before I was bailed out by my comrade who's name must not be spoken. I've won many invention contests either because I cheated, bribed the judges, or made a decorative poster along with a theme song to go along with my advertisement choreography. As for wildlife, I resemble a cougar because I'm small, violent when angry, ambitious, and I'm hardly ever seen. I'm good at making things look complicated when they're not and making people feel uncomfortable. I'll do almost anything for a date and I generally call myself a neutral party in just about anything besides politics in which I'm solely a Libritarian and nothing else. See you around. I have to go attend to a meeting in which I can tell you nothing about.

I Highly appreciate this kind offer to join B.I.G, and I graciously accept it. However, I have heard from a friend that some people are joining to spy, and I may get uncomfortable with spies in a community in which I hope to work. I am the inventor of The Animal Magnetism Trap, which is a successful invention which is animal food with tiny magnets that attract to your chosen location. The animal I think I represent best is a quick, cunning fox, with experience and knowledge smarter than the smartest gadget in the world. That is why I hope you will accept me in B.I.G.
Happy Capturing,
Critter G.

I formally accept the offer to join B.I.G. In doing, I understand all terms are solid and will not be bent.
--How will your latest invention further humankind's mastery of the natural world?
A few weeks ago, I developed a solution that will dissolve any substance but the diamond flask reinforced with granite I keep it in. Through my testing, I have discovered that it will dissolve the skin of animals and also appears to have a neurological effect on certain animals, such as causing partial to full paralylis and much more. I don't feel comfortable sharing the rest of the capabilities through my acceptance. We can talk more when we meet.
--What wild animal would you most like to domesticate, and why?
I would love to do tests with crows... seeing if they can be taught to be used as carrier pigeon type birds, as they would not be recognized because they aren't pigeons...
--Do you have any relevant certifications (i.e. cage building, cage soundproofing, cage maintenance, interrogation techniques, testing cosmetics on animals, etc.)?
Oooh! My favorite part!
Yes. I have many certifications!
I have a master's degree in chrometography, biology, and engineering. I have a few bachelors in many other areas, but these are most relevant to this. I also have a master's degree in psychology. My thesis was about... lying.
In engineering, I specialize in using recycled materials to create stable buildings, weapons... etc.
Thank you for accepting me. I've very... pleased to join B.I.G.

DOMINIUM EX SCIENTIA? Is that a real Latin word? Or did you just make it up?
What Ivy has to say about this~ cage building, cage soundproofing, cage maintenance, interrogation techniques, testing cosmetics on animals, etc? WHAT 'SCIENCE' IS THIS?!
Interrogation...? testing cosmetics...? B.I.G indeed! More like E.V.I.L! *Starts to shred up certifiket.*
Note: Any views expressed here at 'What Ivy has to say about this~' are purely Ivy's, we apologize if the views expressed here offend anyone. Thank you for your attention.
~ThePersonWhoMakesNotes
Thank you, ThePersonWhoMakesNotes, for that note. It was perfect. It was so wonderful.
Note: Thank you very much, Chinchilla. But... how exactly was it wonderful?
~ThePersonWhoMakesNotes
It was wonderful because it made sure that I wouldn't be sued for Ivy's views! You're such a good lawer.
I'm not sure how to take that compliment.
~ThePersonWhoMakesNotes
Huh?
I don't like lawers.
~ThePersonWhoMakesNotes
Oh. Okay. Well, Bye!
Goodbye.
~ThePersonWhoMakesNotes
WOW that was so weird! Isn't it amazing how I manage to stray off topic?! WOW I just realized, not only did I stray off topic, but I also invented a random guy who I can speak to in my posts! ISN'T THAT SO AWESOME?! I'm such a good multi-tasker.
"Tova!" Wow Frederic! You remember one of my swim-team-people's name! Waaaaaaaiiiiit a second..... You haven't been sneaking to my swim meets, have you Frederic?
(January 30, 2016 - 4:08 pm)
Yes, it is real Latin. l know, l've studied Latin for two painful years.
l belive it means science is master.
(January 30, 2016 - 7:14 pm)
Rose S.S.
"Science is master" would be "scientia est dominus." This saying is something more like "out of/from science, the master."
It's interesting that dominum (not spelled with another "i") is in the accusative (direct object) case. It makes for a strange sentence. "Science is master" would make more sense. Maybe B. I. G. just lost their Latin dictionary.
(February 2, 2016 - 6:19 pm)
Ah, but DOMINIUM is not a form of DOMINUS. It's the nominative form of a neuter noun with its own set of meanings.
(February 3, 2016 - 8:20 pm)
Bob the Scientist is right! DOMINIUM is a word. According to Cassell's Latin to English Dictionary, it means rule,power, or ownership. (That and "a feast, banquet" but I'm pretty sure B. I. G.'s motto isn't about food.)
So "dominium ex scientia" translates to "power out of science" or something like that, it's hard to know for sure. "Scientia" can also be translated as "knowledge." "Ex" can translate to a whole bunch of things: for, from, by reason of, on account of, etc.
Google Translate says "Ownership of knowledge" but I'm not too sure about that translation.
Power from knowledge sounds good to me.
