A scientist was working with meteor samples. He mixed some of the red and green liquid meteors. He placed a drop on the slide and held it up in the light. He was preparing to examine it under the microscope, when suddenly this terrible feeling came over him. He knew what was coming and sprinted around the room trying to find something, but it was too late. Achoo! Stupid cold!
He set the snot covered slide on the counter and went off in search of a tissue. When he returned successful in his mission he grabbed the slide and prepared to toss it in the garbage, but something caught his eye. The slide seemed almost to sparkle.
Strange, he thought, what could possibly make it sparkle?
He placed it on the microscope to examine it and saw something that he never thought was possible. The meteor rock was killing all the germs on the slide. While it killed the germs it seemed to give off small amounts of energy as a byproduct.
How can this be possible? he thought. And then it dawned on him, I might have just sneezed myself into the biggest discovery of this century! Who needs electricity when you can just get energy by destroying bacteria! This could mean cleaner air and cheaper electric bills! Get rid of pollution and get a ton of energy at the same time! Wait, what if… oh! I think this could work! Maybe if I introduce some of it into someone, the liquid could kill all illnesses… but what about the energy, will it be too much? Will it kill people?
He decided to test it on a lab rat. He mixed up the green and red meteor liquids and put some in a syringe and injected it into the rodent. At first nothing seemed to happen, but then the rat squeaked and started to twitch. It ran around in circles and squeaked some more. Then he noticed something… the rat's fur was glowing… brighter and brighter it got until so bright he had to shield his eyes. And he ran from the room hoping the rat wouldn't explode and get his lab all messy. The rat's squeaking was blocked out as he closed the door. The window on his door let light out on the wall closest to it.
Suddenly the darkness returned and he figured it was as close to safe as it would ever be. The scientist was almost afraid to look at what was left of the poor rat. What have I done? thought the scientist. He slowly walked into his room half expecting fried rat guts to be hanging from the ceiling. He looked around, but there were no rat guts, and no blast marks. He looked at the cage where once the rat was, and what do you know, he was still there! The rat looked at him and drank from it's water container. It acted as though nothing had happened to it and it squeaked happily.
