Conversation of the Day: Dec. 28 (Mike-Catastrophe Part 1)
Setup: Catastrophe is a statistician that has been transformed by a mutagen into something uncannily similar to a character on a hit cartoon show, Hegemon (“Gotta kill ‘em all!”) Mike heads the Office of Special Investigations’ efforts to conceal extraterrestrial life and mistakenly believes Catastrophe is an alien.
Mike: Hello.
Catastrophe: I’m reading.
Mike: This’ll only take a second.
Catastrophe: Time’s up.
Mike: …
Mike: Let’s say five minutes.
Catastrophe: That’s 30000% of your original request. Is talking with you really more important than the club rankings?
Mike: And considerably less likely to get you pushed down the stairs.
(This is part of a four part series). After 6:00 PM on 12/29, you can read part 2 here.
