Oh, Ruby understands Mad Science(tm) well enough, She lives it by choice and is also a produce of it.
Mad Bureaucracy(tm) and/or Mad Government Agencies(tm) are a completely foreign concepts.
A Mad Scientist keeping a portable reactor/nuke in a wall safe that is ‘safe’ enough that the receptionist can get access is par for the course ….. a Social Services Government Agency doing the same is something that Ruby never expected.
hehe ….. I wonder how Ruby would go if she was recruited into Skin Horse?
We’ve got … this nuke device!
A type … that we’ve found twice!
When Ru-by asks us, “Why?”
Blank stare … is our reply.
[CHORUS:]
Well, at least we don’t have a lake of fire
Like the third floor has (’cause they couldn’t get it higher)!
But it’s real-ly cool,
That lake of fire,
That lake of fire!
Why keep … a nuke? Don’t know!
Far as … ideas go,
It’s not … the best we’ve had!
We can’t … call Ruby mad! [repeat CHORUS]

Obviously the portable fusion reactor is in the wall safe for the same reason they keep the staplers there. Everyone kept ‘borrowing’ the reactor without filling out the proper company resource usage forms, so the safe was the only logical place to put it.
It’s obvious, you keep a nuclear reactor in your safe so it’s immediately available when the regular power goes out. After all bureaucratic buffoonery doesn’t get done in the dark.
Very true. If you just left it out, any old mad scientist would be tempted to walk off with it and use it for Insidious Purposes. Such as asking Shaenon to draw one in a webcomic, for example. -_^
There’s crazy, mad scientists crazy and then there’s Lindsey Lohan/Tom Cruise crazy.

Making use of the waste heat, of course ^_^
Large hadron cider is honestly the best cider.
And now I’m thirsty.
Second Floor: A Curling Rink.
First Floor: A Tiki Bar.
So that’s where they make 307 ale! I thought it was only a Swiss-made drink.
But do we get to call you mad?
The correct answer should be “Just in case we need it”
Of course, a NORMAL Social Services agency would never have such a need.
I’m thinking there will be a need for the SH pie in the future – beyond having M run amok.
Hmmm….she’s asking “why?” I could almost think Ruby doesn’t quite grasp the finer points of Mad Science.

In philosophy, the answer to “why?” is “why not?”. In Mad Science!, the answer to “why?” is always, “because we can!”

We need another tour of that building.

I got my books today, along with my comics and the sketch you did for me. It’s awesome! Thank you so much.
Our pleasure!
Why would you keep a portable nuclear device in a wallsafe?
Because it’d be irresponsible to just leave it lying around the office.

I know why.
