Neil was in Camp Campbell's poor excuse for a lab, he had spent hours on end working on different formulas and connections to test out, which 5 out of 10 led to failures. It was his latest formula that successfully made it to the end… until Nikki came in. Now don't get Neil wrong, he liked Nikki, she was good company, someone to brag and rant to while focusing on the task at hand. But today was different, today for some reason beyond Neil's comprehension….. Nikki thought it was a good idea to have a little taste test. Neil hesitantly agreed to let her have a little sip, but she gulped it down leaving Neil with an empty beaker.

"NIKKI! NO! WHAT DID YOU DO?" Neil grabbed the beaker from Nikki.

"Uh, I drank your potion silly!" Nikki smiled and stuck out her tongue, "Look, now my tongue is blue… hmmm, it's not permanent… right, Neil?"

Neil looked at her tongue and poked it with a stick, "I don't think so… but you know… you might wanna go vomit or something… before you die."

Nikki thought about it for a moment, before shaking her head and running towards the Camp tents. Neil looked at the mess he left from his nonexistent experiment that is now sitting in Nikki's stomach. "Fuck… now I have to start all over again. Thanks a lot, Nikki." After a couple of hours, Neil had reproduced his potion… tweaking the formula a bit. He tested it on a dead bug and found that it brought it back to life... kinda. Upon his realization, he felt the need to tell someone. "Not Nikki though… she'll drink it again. Max won't really care, and everyone else is… unimportant to me. Hmmmmmmmmm"

"Quartermaster LOOK! I made something really cool but no one here appreciates my scientific genius. This can literally cause some groundbreaking work that would spice up the entire FUCKING scientific system!" Neil jumped up and placed a beaker on top of the countertop. He swirled it and admired it. "I have no idea what it does but I added many different compatible elements designed to cure just about anything! I wanted to know what you thought about it, I would ask Nikki but- HEY! Are you listening?"

"Nope" The QuarterMaster didn't take his eyes off his food.

"Ugh, you know what… nevermind. I'm going to get something out of the lab, don't let anyone come near it. It's too valuable for it to be destroyed again." Neil ran out of the mess hall and into the science camp, or well, the little station he set up.

The quartermaster was left alone in the kitchen, not taking his eyes off the food he was preparing. Unknowingly, he grabbed the bottle left aside by Neil and mixed it in his mash potatoes. He saw Neil come back with a bunch of smaller beakers and a case.

"Okay, so, if I can ration this correctly, it shouldn't be a problem having people buy it… even though I have no idea what it does… but that doesn't matter!" He looked around the counter and saw the empty beaker, "Ummmmmmmmmm… wait where….", Neil began to frantically search for his beaker. "Uh, okay… wow… please don't tell me you grabbed it."

"Grabbed what?"

"The fucking solution. My masterpiece… you… wait... I… wow…" Neil began to panic… he literally just lost his solution… for the second time.

"Boy if you don't calm down… you sound like you're having a stroke" The quartermaster turned towards Neil and handed him the empty bottle, "Is this what you were talking about?"

"WHAT? YOU DRANK IT?"

"No"

"So then… WHERE IS IT!?"

"Oh, I have no idea… probably in the mash potatoes…." He began serving the food into the bowls and placing them onto the serving area. Apparently not caring that he might have poisoned the entire meal.

"Wait… you can't serve that. You'll kill the entire camp!" Neil began grabbing the plates and throwing the contents away.

"So?" The Quartermaster watched Neil and placed his good hand in front of him, causing him to stop moving.

"DUDE!" Neil stopped grabbing the bowls, "Make new ones!" Neil angrily walked out of the kitchen and back out into his lab.

"Ugh… I don't get paid enough for this."
