itp: the future is in your backyard

[theskyenceguy]

[TODAY, a jalopy is headed straight for you! It probably swerves at the last minute and does a circuit around camp, coming to a stop in front of a crowd of politely applauding zombies.]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you convert your standard combustible engine into one that runs on bio-fuel made from corn.

Very impressive. You think so too, right Zach?

[theskyenceguy]

Thank you.

...Is Zach one of the zombies?

[weluvthe80z]

Definitely not.

[theskyenceguy]

Then who are you talking to?

[weluvthe80z]

That's of no consequence.

So, are you an engineer for the automotive industry? Detroit could use a leg up these days.

[theskyenceguy]

I'm a police officer, actually. Detective Ema Skye, at your service.

[weluvthe80z]

Really? You're quite a talented young woman to do that in your off-time, Detective Skye.

[BADGE]

I'm FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan. Just call me York. Everyone does.

[theskyenceguy]

Nice to meet you. I actually wanted to work in the forensics department, but...

[weluvthe80z]

Didn't have the right budget for a forensics division?

[theskyenceguy]

I failed the exam.

[weluvthe80z]

[hopes of finally being able to conduct a real investigation: dashed]

. . . . Becoming a detective is no small accomplishment.

[theskyenceguy]

Still, it's not exactly my dream job, you know?

[weluvthe80z]

I wouldn't call it anyone's 'dream' job. But you must believe in what you're doing, if you've stuck with it.

[theskyenceguy]

Well, I do plan on re-taking the test. At least this way I can stay involved with police-work in general.

[weluvthe80z]

That's good. And experience in the field can't hurt.

[theskyenceguy]

Some experiences I could do without.
