David: The Quiet Ones

The Symposium for Irresponsible Science was in full swing. Doomsday devices, death rays, and abominations against God fought for exhibition space, in many cases literally. Hotels had long since banned the Symposium, so it was set up in its usual location, the Bonneville Salt Flats, with the nearest city far outside what was foolishly considered the blast radius.

Doctor Philo doodled in his ever-present notebook as he listened to a debate between the Argutron 6000 and an uplifted marmoset. He glanced down at the geometric pattern he’d sketched and mumbled words portending the end of the world.

“Huh. That’s funny.”
