There might have been a pout, then Newt frowned and leaned over to look at the file just to be sure there wasn't anything hiding on the page that might better explain. He took it when it was offered and, after turning the paper over a few times, sure enough, nothing else to suggest how the powers were accessed, just that they apparently existed. No instruction manual at all.
He was a little jealous of Hermann's powers, but even Newt couldn't deny: they were hilariously mathematical. Perfect for a physicist.
"Whoa, but vague much?? There's a hundred different ways teleportation works in sci-fi, but I guess it's going to be confined to just you? Like you're your own personal Scotty. I'm just...trying to figure out what materialization is," he said, taking a seat on the bed with a bit of a bounce, hands working the air as he spoke. "I mean, I know what it is, but how it's going to work and how it's different from teleportation. Are you just going to disassemble your environment and reuse the molecules? Are you going to de-materialize--like a ghost or something?? It's not like you can break the law of conservation of matter, so whatever you want to make has to draw from somewhere." Hermann knew that, though; this was more of his field.
Newt wouldn't say it, but frankly, he had a hard time wrapping his head around this. He hoped that confusion was partly hunger-induced and that that the simple 'there's no more information' meant Hermann was just as perplexed as he was.
