The Tales of a Mad Scientist

(Elias Milton Sammeuls III, the mad scientist meets and interacts with Flex Fox while at CauZmic high school.)

Elias was an acclaimed scientist and even a candidate to receive a Nobel Peace Prize for his eco-friendly energy solutions. But there is a secret scandalous part of Elias's life that ultimately leads to one of the most dangerous, and unstable times in human history.

In the beginning, Elias was a marvelous scientist with lots of accomplishments who fought for good. He used his superior intellectual abilities to harness natural forces for good! His studies helped by reversing several devastating effects of humans on nature. The more ideas of his that were executed the more the fate of humanity was shifted towards the positive.

The replacement energy source that Elias had created allowed for improvements in transportation, housing, flying, boating, etc. Pretty much all travel technology had been improved and made much safer for the environment.

Early in his career, Elias created his MPP theory, but it struggled to gain any traction. At the fresh age of 27, Elias had been tirelessly trying to gain credibility for his multiple-particle principle. Despite his best effort, Elias failed day after day. The ideas that Elias was presenting and trying to secure funding for were unique for the times.

His research was extensive information and data for fruit fly genetics. He was obsessed, long wings, short wings, extensive genetic data. Elias would go to all campuses around the country and give these long passionate explanations about what he and his team had discovered after years of studying fruit fly genetics. That phrase alone warranted several loud chuckles from the crowd.

It truly seemed an extraordinary amount of time to spend on the basic genetics of fruit flies. It was the small number of chromosomes and the fruit flies' limited lifespan that made scientists think there was nothing more to learn.

After everyone in the crowd had lost interest, Elias would always begin the most exciting and interesting part of his speech. Unfortunately, usual to deaf ears, Elias would begin to discuss an anomaly that only occurred every third generation.

"Things that were unprecedented for a particular environment would happen, and the events would be so crazy I assigned a team to monitor this situation. After analyzing ALL the data, don't worry, I won't bore you with all the details you believe you know, instead, I'll skip to the conclusion. The idea is simple: if you direct your attention to the board, I can draw it for you."

Then Elias would use whatever type of board was behind him and draw three rectangles meant to represent the environment his team studied the fruit flies in. Then he would explain again.

"At first we began with one habitat. Then with breeding and expanding, we had to create two habitats. Eventually, we had several habitats and a large team to manage and record each habitat. After all the data from studying the anomaly, I created the MPP theory. The Multiple Particle principle. As habitats occupy the same space, they create particles that over time cause the anomaly that controls entire habitats!"

Then Elias would be back to the board writing the formula and drawing m0re pictures. This time he draws three rectangles with dots representing three different habitats and the fireflies within them. Then he explains further.

"As the fireflies fly around their own environment small invisible particles are released that can cluster and gather with one another. We can't see these clusters with our eyes but we have used equipment and also learned how to calculate and predict when a cluster of particles will cause an anomaly and which environment will be affected"

Then he would go right back to his board. He would re-draw the environments and emphasize the movement of the flies in his pictures. He then draws attention to that same energy being transformed into clusters of particles that gather around the environment. He leaves the board to speak once AGAIN.

"Even though the environments are closed we can liken the experiment to a pot boiling of water. My drawings display a pot on a stove using heat to trigger the reaction, of evaporation. The stove's flame will turn the water into steam. My drawings also indicate that the energy from the fruit flies flying triggers the reaction of multiple particles being released.

These studies led my team to discover that after a generation of fruit flies died, those flies had created an exact amount of particles. The next generation?

The exact same amount again!"

It was at this point at every single presentation that Elias would look into the crowd's eyes and faces for the first time. To his disappointment presentation after presentation, the crowd just stared at him with a classic "is this over yet" face!
