    He didn’t say what kind of ray. For some reason, I really want it to be a manta ray or a stingray.

        A manta ray, fired by Ray Charles?

        This is also my assumption but erichamon’a idea is funnier

    It might be the fact that I messed up my anti-psychotic medication yesterday but I just want to say that I love mad scientists.

    The above is not a joke.

    The “left” coast cracks me up, but what if one of the “safeties” is “Sergio double was detected and will be terminated”?

    also, called it!

      Quoting Google here

      “coast
      noun
      noun: left coast; plural noun: left coasts
      the West Coast of the US, especially California.
      “America’s left coast should be on everyone’s vacation list””

      Actually, according to Collin Woodard, the USA is made up of 11different nations. The Left coast happens to be one of them.

      The other 10 (in no particular order) are; First Nation, The Midlands, Yankeedom, New France, New Netherlands, Greater Appalachia, The Far West, El Norte, Tidewater, and The Deep South.

    He left for the Left Coast.
    I’ve no idea why.
    Departed St. Charlie.
    Went out there to die.

    Now he’s just a memory
    Upon the PA.
    He left for the Left Coast,
    He’s out of the way.

    He took to commuting.
    He made a foray.
    I stayed here just shooting
    My face with a ray.

    He left for the Left Coast,
    Not some other beach.
    Departed our hideout,
    He’s gone out of reach.

    I trust the decision.
    I haven’t a fear.
    Not even suspicion
    Of the guy standing here.

    He left for the Left Coast,
    Went out there to die.
    Departed St. Charlie,
    I’ve no idea why.

    —from “Red Sails in the Sunset,” almost any version, but more Nat King Cole than any other, unless it’s the Beatles. (Would you believe this is the second time I’ve parodied it in two days?)

    He’s not actually bald. The ray shears off a random set of hair each day.

    Beats shaving, or having to decide which bits to shave. (being an obsessed workaholic is not necessarily incompatible with laziness)

      I should add that the device has been trademarked as The Man Ray.*

      (*though it can be used by people of any gender, of course)

    Because that’s the face-shooty ray and its the morning, duh.

    These people seem a few beads short of an abacus even for mad scientists. (They make _Madblood_ look rational). Could it be that the apocalypse selected for the crazier types? The more functional mads left St. Charlie to try to stop the catastrophe and were killed, while those which couldn’t be allowed out in public survived?

      If his hair was blue I’d buy him being an alternate timeline Gav. Because we know the main timeline Gav was cryogenically frozen – then gate cloned.

        Gav being cryoed was Narbonic? When? Because that’s a wonderous crossover. I thought Gav was just Gav.

      I think it’s more that Madblood, Helen, et al are all the more dangerous (and thus semi-stable) mad scientists. Most are more this sort.

      To be fair, Madblood is pretty rational for a mad scientist. He even makes backups!

    I smell road trip!!! And not just because they need to get out of there before Dr. Ray gets any more bright ideas. I’m guessing this universe’s Sergio rerouted Our Heroes here and probably either has the parts they need or a functioning gate. They had to be here for some reason aside from humor.

    Okay, maybe not, but I stand by my guess.

    I was wondering if this St. Charlie has a GODOT of its own.

      If you see someone that looks like Lucky, say hi to me.
