"Richtofen! The toaster blew up again! Stop tinkering and fix it!" the loud booming voice yelled from the kitchen down to my laboratory in the basement." "How many times do I have to fix it?!" I shouted back my heavy German accent making it sound more like "ow many times do I av to feex eet". As I headed up stairs I realized that I had forgotten to warn him about the blender."YOW! Who turned the blender on kill mode!?" Me I thought. When I got up stairs, Dempsey the guy who kept yelling at me, had solved the blender problem with some duct tape and a mallet, but was still stumped on the toaster thing. He turned and looked my way "next time you just need to go buy a 10$ toaster from a warehouse store" he said simply.
So I decided that it was probably better for all of us that I bought a toaster I was about to walk out the door when Nikolai, my Russian 2nd cousin, stopped me to ask where he had left his Vodka (something he always seems to lose) to which I responded by saying "you lost it you find it", And headed out the door promptly.
Later that day I was in the basement plotting world domination. Well I guess it's more like my grandson's house domination but same principal. We have it every year and I usually do pretty well.
I did brilliantly in category 4, transportation. We were supposed to get "supplies" across enemy territory (the other guys' rooms) and I did the best because I used a prototype teleporter that I was building. It was only in two rooms (bedrooms and labs) but I had both.
So, later as I was getting the toaster, I got some more wire and an ac/dc transistor that goes in radios. But as you probably guessed, I'm not goanna use it in a radio. I'm making an armored vehicle for moving troops in category 4. Tim always dominates because he built an EMP which is why I have the radio parts.
It will protect the vehicle from it when he fires at me. You may be thinking "now why don't you just teleport the troops?"
Well, first of all the teleporter has not been successful when teleporting live organisms, such as my dog, whom I still have not found. Though the tracking beacon I put in his collar says he is right under the house roaming around. But that is of no matter to us now because I have more pressing matters than a subterranean dog to worry about (so long as he stays down there).
Once I was finished with the EMP shield I went on to creating the auto turret and shrink ray (I was planning on putting Dempsey in the driver seat of the Humvee so I could fly my mini war copter (also why I can't teleport the car).
Well the shrink ray was a bust; it only made him invisible for a few seconds. I guess I'll have to put it with the rest of the "things that have potential but no current use for anyone".
I have an alternative to the Humvee project. I'm going to put Dempsey in a simulator connected to the car via radio; I can also put a short range teleport in the car so he can get out of Timothy's death minefield. I'm going to put a stasis turret on Dempsey's car to lock up the SAM site so I can get past with my chopper (I'll be in another simulator). I'll fly past while the SAM site is locked up.
Guess what? I GOT MY DOG OUT! I connected the Long range Radar to my teleporter and locked on to his collar transmitter. The Mainframe was completely destroyed from the energy stress I put on it, but there's nothing I can't fix with a few parts. You should have seen the look on Dempsey's face after I brought the dog out. I took Dempsey's picture next to the Dog a few years ago. Looking back on that moment I don't think either one the other very much. "You freakin got it out?! Why?!" were his exact words. If I didn't know him I'd think he was angry. You know, Even though I do know him, I still think he's angry.
Hi Dempsey something on your mind?
