EUREKA'S RULES
By Aesop
DISCLAIMER: I do not own the show, Eureka, or any of the characters, and no profit is earned in writing this.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: I noted that no one at had yet put up a story like this for Eureka and wanted to be the first.
Long buried secret labs, Zoe reflected as she limped along the street toward her father's office, made for good sci-fi and horror, but living in a town in which they seemed to be common was sometimes more than she could deal with. She knew her broken ankle was her own fault, but still, if she hadn't wandered in there someone would have. Right?
46. Remember that literally building a town on secrets has its drawbacks.
OOOOOOOOOO
There were a lot of things it was nice to have two of, Carter reflected. Two nephews for instance. A two party system and a bicameral legislature were also good things, according to Lexi, anyway. Carter had his doubts. What he did not doubt was that two suns was a bad thing. He checked the list and found an entry he thought was in the principal's handwriting.
47. School projects that go nova do not get passing grades.
OOOOOOOOOO
Kylie scowled. There were people in the town that had made bigger mistakes and wound up getting Nobel prizes; all she got was grounded. It wasn't fair.
48. Don't forget that there is always risk in scientific advancement.
OOOOOOOOOO
Thorne's willingness to sacrifice the town without even trying to save it didn't make sense. It was definitely not in character. The woman never gave up without a fight. The only way it made sense was if there was something in that complex she wanted to hide. With this in mind he penned his next rule, wondering if the phone call he planned to make to the general would have the desired effect or if Thorne would just do something more drastic.
49. Some secrets should not be kept. Think first.
OOOOOOOOOO
People were still reeling from the day's revelations. Eureka's dual nature had never been more evident. The existence and nature of the small town was classified and the people who lived there were used to keeping secrets, but it was, nevertheless, a small town. That meant that secrets, especially secrets like this, tended to spread like wildfire. The details might have been a bit fuzzy, but everyone knew why the ground had shaken briefly and why Thorne had disappeared. Everyone knew the result as well, and no one was particularly happy about it. No one knew who posted rule fifty, but people began lining up to follow it.
50. Sign the attached petition to reinstate Sheriff Carter. It's a rule.
