Science You Cannot Possibly Comprehend, Monday, Period 5

[allhopeliesinme.livejournal.com]

During the morning, messages went out to the science class that they would be meeting in the Danger Shop today.

"As you may have noticed, there are now vending machines that dispense guns on the island. I am not your mayor, so I have no interest in them aside from having some confidence that you, students, can do better than these mass-produced weapons," Doom said.

"We are here in the Danger Shop instead of the normal lab in case I have overestimated you," Doom explained. "Here, you can work on crafting a weapon to match your personality and intended lethality without the threat of the weapon exploding and killing yourself and several classmates. That would be an inconvenience."

Doom then launched into a brief explanation of how energy weapons worked and how it was a joke that more Earths had not figured out how to use them widely and effectively yet.

"Whether your preference is projectile weaponry or melee, you will be able to use your consoles to generate the individual pieces you will need to assemble. The actual assembly will be up to you."

"Not that I should need to provide such a disclaimer at this point, but your designs can be saved for your own records while I will not view anything other than the final design. The weapons I create are far beyond anything you can imagine, so I have no need to copy your work."

"Now begin."

Design and Assemble a Weapon

Work together if you must. Try shooting each other once your weapon is done if you really must. No harm will come to anyone.

Jim wasn't really sure what to make of everything going on but Dr. Doom's class really seemed like a good idea at this point. If nothing happened, he'd still have a cool weapon. If something happened, he'd have a cool weapon that he could use against potential bad guys.

Win/win. He got to work on something projectile.

Topher was working on a weapon that was a bit like a sonic stunner, though he was calling it a 'disruptor' instead. He'd made one before that had worked quite well; the idea was that the sonic waves disrupted brain signals and knocked the target unconscious. It would probably only work on humans, though.

Cecil had no clue about energy weapons, really. Bullets and fire generally worked pretty well for him.

It didn't mean he wasn't looking through all the things on the console. Some of them were pretty nifty! He was sure he could come up with something.
