I'm in total awe of your idea, and you have such a fantastic way with words; it's always such a joy to see a new story from you because I know I'm in for a great read!
I was really impressed with your voice shifts here--you could tell right away which character was speaking; and like everyone else, of course I'm totally in love with Mohinder's sweet childlike excitement at finding Matt (for some reason I just remembered a Far Side cartoon where a couple of paleontologists get busted by their superior while playing with dinosaur models--I love any sort of playfulness, especially when it's scientific pursuit).
I really liked this bit especially:
He stares another moment, and then he breaks out into a huge grin. A huge, childish, absolutely contagious grin. I laugh, because something about it tickles me. He shouldn't be a scientist. He should have some job that requires him to smile like that all. the. Time. I swear, the temperature in here just rose five degrees. They could use that smile to heat homes in the winter.
Sorry for the long comment. I'm really excited about this story though. Love it!
