Summary: Brief bits, not necessarily connected…Similar to my Buffyverse "Immortal Beloved" series…Possibly related to the idea that sooner or later I plan to pit Sheldon against junior adult fiction's greatest inventor…

In a World Devastated… ("Should we say, by You Tube believing, science-averse yahoos?" "I think we make the point with understatement, Sheldon…")
[Shots of pollution and global-warming devastated Earth, panicking hordes]
A Haven for a Desperate Humankind…
[Enormous, massive site under construction…Teams working on soaring buildings, vast underground complexes]
A Dream of A… ("Two"…) A ("Two, hello…I'm supposed to have built this with you…Mad inventor, friendship twisted by bitter rivalry, remember?") …Fine, all right…Two… Geniuses…
[Two leaders shaking hands, offering their joint plans to a desperate UN…Later shot of them older, the shorter one bitterly ranting at the taller…]

[Shot of The Administrator's office…"There I am…The Faithful Assistant…" Amy sighs… "Couldn't we at least be having a passionate affair?..." "Affair?...With whom?...You know you end up helping Leonard?..." nervous look… Hmmn…Amy nods…This might not be so limited in possibility as I thought…]
A Messiah Crying for Peace…
["That's me…Messiah Penny…" Penny beams…]

["I don't look wussy in those knickers do I?..." "Nnnooo…Not at all, sweetie…But quiet my evil copy is coming up next…God and I was beginning to think I could never make it as an actress…I'm virginal, pure evil, a robot, and a lady Hitler all in one…Guys, I love you so much for doing this…"]
A Soulless Fiend Unleashed…
And it's all…about…Sheldon Cooper…
["It's not all about you, Sheldon." Fume… "My character is the leading role if you really want to know…The tormented supervillain inventor determined to destroy all in vengeance…Yours is just an anal administrator…" "It's a city named after me!" "That'll be changed if my character gets his way…"
"God, what are you complaining about, Howard?...All I get to be is the Thin Brown Man, loyal enforcer to Administrator Sheldon Cooperson…" "You do get to slap me down in a scene, Raj…" Amy notes… "What?...Slap what?" Sheldon, staring…
"Oh, yeah…" hiss to Penny… "I be liking this 'assistant' role more and more…" "There'll be no slapping down or any other sexual tinged encounters…" Sheldon, firmly… "You go with that part, girl…" Penny, grinning…]
"Sheldonopolis…" Coming Soon…
