Great Men of Science
Brian Boone
- So
- things
- didn't
- go
- the
- way
- they
- were
- supposed
- to
- for
- Albert
- Malfort.
- Since
- his
- project
- didn't
- win
- the
- college-capping
- science
- fair
- --
- he
- propelled
- a
- teacup
- pig
- five
- minutes
- through
- time
- --
- he
- didn't
- land
- a
- fancy
- R&D
- job
- at
- Gray
- Labs,
- a
- think
- tank
- and
- retail
- juggernaut,
- nor
- did
- he
- escape
- the
- shadow
- of
- his
- father,
- an
- insane
- pariah
- of
- science
- and
- former
- Gray
- Labs
- employee
- who
- badmouthed
- the
- boss.
- Of
- course,
- that's
- all
- because
- the
- smug
- and
- wealthy
- Magnus
- Riptide
- destroyed
- Albert's
- project;
- his
- project
- proved
- the
- charisma
- reservoir
- in
- his
- brain
- allowed
- him
- to
- get
- away
- with
- anything.
- Albert
- wound
- up
- working
- as
- a
- lackey
- at
- Gray
- Labs,
- until
- they
- wronged
- him,
- so
- he
- stole
- a
- bunch
- of
- equipment,
- and
- conducted
- another
- time
- travel
- experiment
- that
- opened
- up
- an
- intern-swallowing
- time
- rift.
- Reduced
- to
- making
- weaponized
- robots
- in
- his
- garage
- for
- rogue
- tyrants,
- Albert
- gets
- the
- opportunity
- to
- put
- his
- life
- back
- on
- track
- when
- he's
- visited
- by
- Magnus,
- who
- needs
- his
- help.
- It
- would
- seem
- that
- Magnus,
- after
- accidentally
- winning
- a
- Nobel
- Prize,
- discovering
- a
- new
- number,
- and
- starring
- on
- the
- hit
- crime-drama
- The
- Scientist,
- made
- a
- miniature,
- evil
- clone
- of
- Thomas
- Edison,
- who
- traveled
- back
- to
- 1931
- (via
- Albert's
- time
- rift)
- to
- steal
- every
- patent
- that
- ever
- existed.
- Will
- Albert
- and
- Magnus
- find
- a
- way
- to
- stop
- Edison
- from
- ruining
- science
- for
- everybody?
- Or
- will
- they
- actually
- work
- together
- and
- become,
- you
- know,
- Great
- Men
- of
- Science
- (and
- maybe friends)?
