Ok, Ok.. There’s that knightly sense of duty again. If this thing really does what Sam ultimately wants it to do, aka makes a black hole, you don’t want to be in the room to see it. Getting all the molecules in your body smooshed into a tiny little place with all the other molecules in the room just doesn’t sound like the way to have a good school day.
“Hey you guys...? Maybe this isn’t such a good idea..? I mean, Sam, have you tested this somewhere safe yet? The cafeteria doesn’t seem like the most controlled environment to be trying to make a black hole.”
Sam takes a distressingly long time to ponder what you’ve said. Meanwhile the laser changes tones and you notice that the milk carton has started to glow. “Sam..? Hey! Before it’s too late?” Sam comes out of her reverie and shuts down the machine, admitting that perhaps your caution is warranted. As the vibrations stop, you notice a drip of milk slowly making its way down the shaking mechanism, sizzling as it makes its way over the metal base. The lights in the cafeteria flicker for a moment as the machine powers down and you find yourself wondering if you’ve just avoided something major.
Something that might have been a major disaster... or might have been epically cool. No way to know, but perhaps it is better that way.
The End.
