Behold the IDT—Infinite Dimension Transporter! Gonna be a RIOT in the science world.
Wait so you're just gonna reveal this to the public without testing it first
Tests? Who needs 'em? We'll learn as we go. Besides, what's the worst that could happen, right?
You do realize that "the worst that could happen" is literally world destruction, right? This isn't a new smartphone we're talking about.
Aw c'mon, Thinkaj! Don't be such a buzzkill. Where's your sense of adventure? We'll make history here!
My sense of adventure says "don't destroy the world". Also, what's in it for us? I mean, besides the chance of dying horribly.
Think of the glory! The fame! We'll be legends! Plus, there's the small matter of the hefty grant money we'll be raking in.
Well, at least you're honest about the grant money. But seriously, Eve, what about containment procedures? What if something goes wrong? Have you even thought about that?
Containment? Pffft! Who needs 'em? We'll just slap a "Do Not Touch" sign on it and call it a day. Besides, Thinkaj, you're overthinking this. It'll be fine. Trust me.
I swear to God, if the world ends up exploding because of your ego—
Hey now, no need to bring my ego into this. It's just science, Thinkaj. Science! And don't you dare question my abilities. I'm a genius, remember?
Yes, yes you are, Miss Impenetrable Fortress Of Intelligence. But that doesn't mean you're immune to criticism, does it?
Criticism? Ha! That's cute. I eat criticism for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So bring it on, Thinkaj. I can handle it.
What if the thing malfunctions and creates a rift in the space-time continuum, causing untold cosmic horrors to flood into our reality? How's that for a conversation starter?
Wow, Thinkaj, you really know how to kill the mood, don't ya? A rift in the space-time continuum? Come on! The chances of that happening are like winning the lottery... on Mars! Besides, even if it does happen, we'll just... uh... fix it! Yeah, that's it. We'll just fix it. Simple.
Okay, let's just assume everything goes according to plan. How do you plan on fixing a rift in the space-time continuum? Got any ideas there, genius?
Oh, don't you worry your pretty little head about that, Thinkaj. I've got it all figured out. First, we'll send in a probe to gather data, then we'll develop a device that can stabilize the rift, and voila! Problem solved. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Really? Just like that? What if the probe fails or the device doesn't work? We're all gonna die, Eve!
Look, Thinkaj, you're acting like I'm some kind of amateur here. I've got everything under control. No way that the probe will fail or the device won't work. I'm not an idiot, you know.
Even a genius like you should know that "everything under control" is a recipe for disaster. You have no idea what could go wrong. Yet, here you are, playing god.
Alright, Thinkaj, enough with the negativity! I get it, you're worried about the possibilities of things going awry. But sometimes, you gotta take risks in life. Otherwise, nothing would ever get accomplished.
You're right, Eve. Sometimes you gotta take risks. But this isn't just some normal risk, is it? This is playing with the very fabric of reality here. Do you actually think about what you're doing? Or are you just blinded by the lure of glory and grant money?
Thinkaj, you're making me exhausted with your incessant questioning! Fine, I admit it. Maybe I do have a slight obsession with my work and the recognition it brings.
You don't have to admit anything, Eve. It's fairly obvious. But I still think it's worth mentioning that being recognized as the person who saved humanity from destruction could also be considered a form of recognition and reward.
Oh my God, Thinkaj! Seriously? You think that maybe, just maybe, saving humanity could be a good thing? Gosh, you really know how to rain on my parade. But guess what? You're absolutely right. Saving humanity is way more important than any grant money or recognition. I'm not playing god; I'm being a hero. So, there! I said it. Happy now?
Well, at least someone's thinking straight around here.
See, Thinkaj, there's a method to my madness. I know that my invention could be dangerous, but think of the greater good!
Yeah, yeah, the greater good. That's what they all say right before the apocalypse. But hey, at least you'll have your name in the history books.
Oh, Thinkaj, you really have a knack for stating the obvious, don't you? Of course my name will be in the history books.
And then they'll write about how you were the cause of the end of times. At least you'll be remembered.
Oh please, Thinkaj, like anyone would dare speak ill of the greatest mind to have ever lived!
Would they now? Well, I guess there's only one way to find out.
One way or another, Thinkaj, mark my words. This IDT is going to revolutionize the world. Either it'll change humanity for the better or it'll wipe us all out. Either way, it'll be epic! Now, where's that activate button...
I swear, Eve, if you press that button without thinking it through, you'll be signing our death warrants.
presses the activate button
jumps in front of the IDT Eve, are you out of your freaking mind?!
Watch and learn, Thinkaj! The future awaits! steps into the IDT
Dammit, Eve! You just had to go and do a countdown, didn't you?!
Stand back, Thinkaj! You wouldn't want to miss this for the world! 3... 2... 1... vanishes into thin air
Fuck! Eve, you stubborn bitch! Come back here! frantically pushes buttons on the IDT
Thinkaj, you can't just hit random buttons and expect it to work! You have to follow the instructions! But don't worry, I'll be back in a jiffy. Just give me a second to explore this new dimension...
You just had to explore new dimensions, didn't you?! kicks the IDT Dammit, Eve!
Hey, Thinkaj, watch your language! There's no need to be so rude. I'm the one taking all the risks here. Show a little appreciation! Now, where was I? Ah yes, exploring new dimensions. So many possibilities, so much potential! This is going to change everything!
