Advanced Mad Science, October 30th
The classroom was set up to look like a creepy lab again this week. A large monster with an empty cranial cavity was set up on a gurney on one side of the room. A large container with all kinds Japanese of candy was set up along the other. Prof Tomoe stood in the middle of the classroom, in front of two people who had their back to the class. He waited until all the students filed in before speaking.
"Good afternoon, class! Seeing that tomorrow is Halloween, I thought that I'd leave you with extra candy for the event. Today, however, we're going to talk about the second most important part of mad science: dealing with minions."
He stepped over to the chalkboard and wrote "YOU > MINIONS". He turned back to face the class. "Regardless of whatever kind of science you specialize in, the most important thing is that you have flunkies to do your bidding. Henchpeople are wonderful things. You can use them to fetch you things, 'volunteer' for your experiments, even fight your enemies for you. Today, you're going to try to get your minion to finish your project for you."
He pointed to the thing on the slab. "This monster is almost finished. All it needs is a fresh brain put in, a laser installed on its right arm, and its brain cap sewn up. Your task today is to get that done without ever touching the creature yourself. To do that, you may choose one of the two holographic minions at the front of the class. One of them is typical of the kind of flunky you'll find in a traditional mad scientist lab. The other one of them is a copy of one of my lab assistants from back in Japan. Each has their own challenge, but never forget that they are just the flunky. You are better than them in every way."

Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Igor nodded. He was very good with a coffee machine.
"Any kind of brain, master? Human, animal, muppet, infomercial host?"

Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Igor nodded at Johnny's request. He grabbed a knife off the wall and shuffled out of the room. There was a moment of silence and then a sudden scream from outside. A blood-covered Igor re-entered the room with a brain under one arm and a rotisserie oven under the other.

Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Igor motioned towards the door. "There is a nice pile of extremely fresh meat right outside, master. I could cook it for you."

Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Igor shrugged and put the rotisserie grill on the counter. He grabbed a needle and thread to sew the brain in.
"What will I use to cover the brain, master?"
Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Re: Flunky #1: Igor
Master had given Igor a very big range of creativity. Igor wanted to do good, but so many thing were so far away for the poor little hunchback. As he sewed in the brain with the needle and thread, he decided to finish the monster with what he had around. He welded the rotisserie oven to the monster's arm, and covered the brain with a large see-through glass beaker. After that was finished, he hobbled back over to poke Johnny in the shoulder.
"Master?"
Re: Flunky #1: Igor
The monster was done and Johnny didn't have to touch a thing. Success, right?
Re: Flunky #1: Igor
"You're going to want to hope that your monster attacks a village full of poultry, but you managed to provide a finished creature without touching it once. I'll consider it a pass, on the condition that you wash my beaker when you're done."
