"OTD, team. Behold, chaos incarnate. Gonna break the scoreboard. Thoughts?
Well...I'll be damned. Where do we even begin to analyze this...thing? What does it do?
grinning wickedly Oh, you know, just your standard issue doomsday device. Push a button, end the world. Boom, ta-da!
...And you thought this would be a good time to use abbreviations and acronyms? I'm lost.
rolls her eyes Seriously? OTD means Operationally Testable Device, genius. And this baby's gonna change the game, WW3 style. Think of it as a nuclear bomb on steroids.
...Alright, alright. You've got me there. I get it. This is one hell of a 'game changer'. What's the plan now, boss?
smirking The plan? Simple. We test it out and watch the world burn. But first, we gotta make sure it's safe, right?
Safe? You call this thing safe?
Safe is relative, my friend. Look, I've put in all the necessary safeguards heh, safeguards to minimize collateral damage.
Safeguards...against what? What are we protecting against? Besides the obvious...world ending scenario.
raises an eyebrow Oh, you know, just your run-of-the-mill unintended consequences.
Alright, I'll bite. How exactly do these'safeguards' work? You've piqued my interest.
leans in, a gleam in her eye Ah, now we're talking. Safeguards 101, my friend. Picture this: automated failsafes, redundant systems, and a little bit of good old-fashioned scientific magic.
...Magic, huh? Is that so? How does the magic come into play?
winks Oh, you know, just a dash of voodoo and a pinch of pixie dust. Kidding aside, it's actually pretty clever.
...Alright, I'm listening. What's the catch? Nothing in life comes without one, right?
As Luna explains the safeguards, an unexpected malfunction occurs, triggering a chain reaction that puts the entire lab at risk.
laughs maniacally Well, well, well, looks like our little baby has a mind of its own! Just you wait, I'll tame you, you wild beast!
...This doesn't seem good. At all. Why would it malfunction like this? Shouldn't it...know the difference between a test subject and an actual person? Or am I missing something?
frantically typing on the console Oh, you betcha there's something you're missing! See, this thing has a mind of its own.
A...mind of its own? That doesn't sound like a safeguard, Luna...that sounds dangerous.
grinning devilishly Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my friend! This malfunction is actually part of the plan.
gesturing wildly Think of it as a forced error. A deliberate glitch, if you will.
