Extremely Unsafe Science With Beaker, Tuesday, August 9, 2022

[meepmeepmeep]

"MEEP MEEP MEEP MEE!" Beaker said excitedly from where he stood at the front of the lab next to Miguel. "Meep!"

Oh boy, fire!

Miguel smirked. "Yeah, I have no idea, for the record. But today we're doing less explosions," at least theoretically, "and more straight-out fire." He grinned and waved at the assortment of items on the table. "We're building flamethrowers!"

Surely this would end well! "Meep meep meep meep meep," said the creator of the electronic sledgehammer, still somewhere on the island harassing wildlife, picking up what was probably the wrong end of something and holding it up like he knew what he was doing, "meep meep meep."

Miguel considered turning it around so the nozzle was pointing away, but honestly, what good would that do? Knowing Beaker, he stood a better chance of not hurting himself like this.

"A flamethrower has four things it needs: fuel, ignition, control, and an off switch." He was already betting to himself which one Beaker would forget. "And ideally the whole thing's fireproof itself, so you're not melting your hands." Right, Beaker?

"Meep," Beaker said, definitely not adding an off switch to his mechanism.

Yeah, that was the one. "So we've got a few different kinds of moddable potential tanks here, and you can choose a lighter, or matches, or...okay, I'm not sure how you'd make the rocks work, but go for it if that's your thing. Then there's tubing and nozzles. You can go for complex," he held up an actual flamethrower that looked like the military hardware it was, "or simple." He grabbed a lighter and hairspray can. "We're here if you have questions. ...Actually, maybe just ask me." Between the meeping and the Beakerness, that'd be the smart thing to do.

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--" Beaker screamed as the flamethrower--already too strong for his wee felt arms to control--shot him across the room.

Um. No one tell Joe from Legal about this.

Listen to the lecture!

[meepmeepmeep]

Making your own flamethrowers! Super safe for everyone!

Thankfully, Sakaki was far too inept at building things to even get remotely close to a point where her ineptitude was dangerous. Her attempts at building a flamethrower pretty much either fell apart before you could ignite anything or just didn't ignite at all.

She was fine with this.

Re: Listen to the lecture!

Alara was feeling rather unsettled about being around all this fire and she was going to choose to not make her own and watch what everyone else was doing instead.

Make science!

[meepmeepmeep]

Watch out for Beaker.

Re: Make science!

Belle was quite sure this was a terrible idea and she had no intention of actually using any device that she put together.

But she was curious and she was still going to try to construct something.

Goose was actually rather enthusiastic about the idea of building a flame thrower and it was the first time since the reunion where he was distracted enough to not think about it for once.

It was not the smartest idea to let Goose build a flame thrower but thankfully he had set nothing on fire.

Yet.

Talk to Miguel and Beaker!

[meepmeepmeep]

One is slightly more helpful than the other.

Slightly.

Connor leaned over to Miguel and whispered, eyes still fixed on Beaker. "You're actually going along with this?" Because yes Connor was a nerd and loved fire as much as the next guy...but this? This seemed unsafe, even by his standards. And hat was really saying something there Beaker.

Re: Talk to Miguel and Beaker!

[what_the_shock]

"Has anything happened worse than usual yet?" Miguel asked.

Re: Talk to Miguel and Beaker!

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Depends on whose "usual" we are gauging by mate," Connor said with a laugh. "We've surpassed a lot of mine on day one in this class!"

Re: Talk to Miguel and Beaker!

[what_the_shock]

"Beaker's, of course," Miguel answered. "As long as he doesn't set anyone else on fire, it's all good."

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is it so gross out.
