I wrote two new scene pieces (three, actually) in the last two days for Base Instruments, but they are for very, very late in the story, and I don't want to post them because they're too spoilery for the mystery. So, for the sake of 31P31D, I'm posting two other scene pieces in place of them that give less away just to continue showing work.
Base Instruments marks the first mission we see where Mrs. Hawking treats Nathaniel like an official member of the team, with his own specific assigned part to play. Specifically, she is making use of his emerging ability to be the faceman and get information out of people through talking. I want his and Mary's skills to visibly improve and solidify as the stories go on, and this represents both a big step up in Nathaniel's ability as well as Mrs. Hawking's confidence in him. She's even willing to train him a little.
