Most humanoids avoid May’s small workshop, which she rents for a pittance in a poor district of the Cove. The reason is simple: they just don’t understand what’s inside; it all looks too chaotic and messy. But knowledgeable humanoids, and especially those tech enthusiasts who have been here before, adore the workshop, because there is so much interesting stuff in this clutter, and its collector is a very pleasant-looking person.
And so, early in the morning, there was a characteristic, heavy knock at the door.

May hadn't slept – as usual, she had stayed up late working. Putting aside the unfinished craft and her tools, she went to open the door.

This knocking could only belong to one humanoid, a dwarf named Vlad. Vlad was a bit tall for his people, had a not-too-long, well-groomed beard, and always hid his chestnut hair under a ushanka hat, which looked strange on the island of Deep. Opening the door, Miss Jones indeed saw him, but overall, the scene was unexpected: Vlad was sitting on the ground in a clearly dazed state (though still conscious), and a goblin was rummaging through his pockets.

May grabbed a sizable piece of pipe and brandished it at the goblin, subtly hinting that it should leave peacefully.

The goblin's heel flashed, and then it was gone without a trace.

May approached her acquaintance, helped him to his feet, and asked what had happened and how he had allowed that goblin to stick its greedy paws into his pockets.

– You have a door, May... It’s very noisy! – Vlad said with some difficulty, – It’s so noisy that when I knock on it, I can’t hear a-ny-thing.

- Strange, you didn't notice this before.
May invited the guest to come inside.

And he happily entered, almost tripping a couple of times along the way. "May, listen, I thought you would fix the microscope, but it seems I don't have a microscope anymore. And I really needed it. You know, I think I discovered a new species of amoeba, maybe even the ancestors of Gish, " Vlad sat down on a stool. "But when I was checking their characteristics, in particular the elasticity coefficient, I couldn't find anything suitable for that. So I started measuring the elasticity coefficient of the amoebas with the microscope, and it broke. And now I don't have it at all."

- I'm not promising anything, but I can try to assemble a new one, - May took a few boxes and started rummaging through them, looking for the necessary parts, - but I don't think one microscope will be enough. Other tools might also be useful in the difficult task of measuring the modulus of elasticity.

– No, I need a microscope to see where to measure the coefficient; these amoebas are quite small, unlike the Gishi. And I'll figure out something else for the actual measurement. By the way, I'll need to compare the characteristics of these amoebas with the characteristics of the Gishi later; otherwise, I won't be able to prove their relationship. If you have time, can we do it together?

-I'm not very good at biology, but I think it will be very interesting!

– Or maybe we should go now? – Vlad perked up. – Johnson told me he has a boat available today; we can go fishing for those amoebas. – It should be noted that Vlad had many contacts throughout the city; in all the areas that interested him, he knew the right humanoid. For example, Johnson was a Kretan fisherman and regularly gave Vlad a ride if he needed it. Needless to say, in several city eateries, he was served for free, as a friend of the establishment's owner. He promised to list everyone who helped him in any way as co-authors of his scientific articles, although things weren't going very well with science.
– But do you have a dynamometer anywhere?

- Yes, I think I saw it somewhere around here, - May pushed a crate towards the dwarf, and then went to her room to change and tidy herself up.
