[Video] Mad Scientist looking for same.

[dctr_drakken]

[Cue Drakken sitting at a desk, hands folded.]

Hello, friends.

[Ok, wide description there. But never start a message with 'hey jerkwads' - he's learned that never quite works out]

Now a man of my considerable genius has a lot of time to think. Part of the job, you know how it is. [Waves dismissively] But sometimes, like minds are something to

[seyfertsalvage]

People still use the word rad?

Look, normally my hair curls on end when I hear someone discuss mad science but... I guess I'm what you could call an engineer and I really need to build something that I can't get all the right parts for.

[Voice]

[dctr_drakken]

I dunno, maybe? If not, whatever, I'm bringing it back.

[And you've piqued his interest]

And what would that be?

[Voice :: Private]

[seyfertsalvage]

As you probably heard there's some sort of mind control crisis going on.

I'm trying to make something to help put a stop to it.

[Voice :: Private]

[dctr_drakken]

I heard something or other. I dunno, I was making some, uh..."mining equipment" and kinda didn't watch tv or anything. [By 'mining equipment', he means a robot with drill arms. That could, theoretically, be used for mining and not, say, tunnelling into a vault]

And I used to dabble in mind control. Not that I have anything like that now, you understand. [Shego would deep fry him for it.]

Countering it...I dunno, what kind are we talking about? Broadcast control, brainwashing, or some sort of device?

[chlorodermic]

...considerable genius, huh?

[video]

[dctr_drakken]

[He nods]

It pays to be modest sometimes.

[video]

[chlorodermic]

I'm sorry. What modesty?

[dctr_drakken]

[He grins]

I didn't say 'super', after all. [And he isn't Wile E. Coyote, either, though he's unaware of that particular reference point.]

And where have you been, anyways? I haven't had anyone sneak up on me in ages. I've stopped jumping at shadows.

permavoice!

[dogabuse]

[ Mildly: ] Do remind me who you are.

[dctr_drakken]

[Sigh, people not knowing him here. Quite the bother.]

Oh, I'm Doctor Drakken. [He speaks quickly in a matter of fact voice]

Let's see, I've advanced laser, robotics, cloning and bio-tech by several generations in my lifetime. Reformed supervillain. Even sa...rescued the world from aliens once.

[You can't see the preening. Be thankful you can't see the preening]

[dogabuse]

A reformed supervillain, you say? Ah. We may have more in common than I initially thought.

[dctr_drakken]

Yes. Reformed. Very.

[His voice reveals nothing but keen honesty. His face, unseen, doesn't quite match]

And really?

[notsoloyal]

Mad science?

[dctr_drakken]

[There is a slight pause]

Well, yes, all good science is a little mad. But hey, that's how people get working on interdimensional transport and whatnot.

[He'll omit the bits about how it also leads to take over the world schemes]

[notsoloyal]

I would not exactly call that "mad". It is merely furthering evolution, occasionally for personal goals.

[dctr_drakken]

Hey, Isaac Newton had enough mercury in his system to fuel a thermometer factory when he figured out gravity - it's a quality, not a mental state.

[He grins]

Furthering evolution, huh? I hope you don't mean in the direct sense. I dabbled in the direct kind a while back. Didn't really work out.

[And Commodore Puddles was a little bit TOO evil a test subject, really.]
