Coming from a Space Hippy like youreslf, this smacks of a military-industrial

do like the fact that you turned R2 into a flying paraplegic.

Ah, Mr Goldman, we meet again.
Alas, the ‘Baby-Blue Peace Ray’ does not produce the level of death and
destruction to which you’ve become accustomed; it only produces a peaceful, easy
feeling.(1) Of course, if it got into the wrong hands...
Which brings me to the question in your recent review of the
SHIELD: “can it be reconfigured with a
device that emits a death ray?”
Of course such things are possible with both the Fly and the SHIELD. Heck, even
most modern kitchen appliances can be reconfigured thus. I believe some of them
already have been.
A little explanation of the structure of Whateverly Labs and the Institute might
be in order:
We actually bought the military-industrial complex housed in Secret Mountain,
and I tell you there was quite a mess left by the previous owner. Anyway, we run
as a collective in true hippie style. Now, some members of the collective may be
evil, but we don’t hold that against them. It’s about acceptance, and healing.
That’s why we have Guru Baba Ding and Starflower on staff; it’s not like we all
follow him just because he’s a guru. He helps keep things peaceful and, of
course, so does Starflower, his lovely ‘assistant’
Speaking of wrong hands...here’s one of our researchers, Doug ‘Spinetop’ Perkins
or Skull Doug as he’s also known. He plays a mean piano(2) and he’s a little
hard of hearing. He’s evil but we’re okay with that.
He’s also rather cranky. It’s probably because no one’s holding a gun to his
head. (well I don’t see anyone holding the gun.) He used to work for the Man
but now he has his own agenda. (They were on sale at Office Despot.)
Um, my nephew tells me it was actually R5-D4, but who really cares. We thought
of calling it ‘Flipper’ but that seemed mean. There are few droids that could
turn a freak steam-roller accident into an asset. Anyway, it’s part of our
‘Probing for Peace’ initiative. The probes(3) will yield information which we
can use to promote peace.
Well, that’s probably more than you wanted to know, but, hey, thanks about the
cool moc comment.
Peace and acceptance,
Professor Whateverly
(1) And, alas, song viruses.
(2) You’d be a mean piano too if someone only played with hooks.
(3) At least I didn’t make a car called a Probe. What were they thinking?
PS. Your mom says hi.
