Attack! of the killer man from the Sun!

my lines

You’re right Lou we’ve still got know idea what’s causing these massive solar flares. At this rate the earth is probably doomed.

It’s not space debris. Not aerosol gasses. There must be some part of humanity left to blame.

“Oh no, we’re being killed by solar flares form our very own Sun! The Earth is doomed and it’s to late to do anything about it!”

Is that something people are likely to say?

It doesn’t make sense. The math is sound, and these numbers all add up!

As numbers often do; that is their primary function!

Is that laughter I hear? Or saving the world?

Hopefully both, Mrs. Ion.

I’d call you anything you like, dear, for another glass of that lemonade.

Mm-hm!

And the action continues.

Mm-hm!

Anne exists to the kitchen. The scientists clear the table and begin to exit.

Say, Lou-… Do you think we will be able to do it?

We, scientist one I’m flattered. But I am married, so I’d have to check with Anne-…

No, not that! I mean do you think we’ll be able to prevent the inevitable fall of civilization as we know it?

Only when that glass is full of science. The way I see it, we have two options: success or death. Now I’ve never been very good at being dead; haven’t had much practice at it; not my style. So, for what it’s worth, my money’s on use succeeding.

Well, when you put it that way. Thanks Lou. You always know just what to say.

Lou!

And others!

Other scientists! What are you doing here?

I forgot my lucky pencil.

It seems I’m not the only forgetful one around here.

What did you say?

What did I say?

Susan, this many seem kind of sudden-…

There’s no time for that! Other scientists, the potentially deadly solar flares from before are definitely and indeed deadly!

We know! We saw it out your window!

It seems the suns rays have converged into a human-shaped sentient being.

We know! We saw it out your window!

Then you saw how it viscously slaughtered my brother?

We-… oh.

… Actually, no. We must have gone back to searching for the pencil by that point.

And we didn’t even know you have brother. Do you?

But that’s a story for another day.

Also, Lou, who are your new friends?

How can we ever succeed?

With science!

Other scientists, we’ve already tried science outside with disastrous results. Surely you witnessed that before.

We know! We saw it out your window!

For now, just try and keep up; things are going to get very technical very quickly. For example:

I’ve got it! The sun man is made of energy form the sun.

That does make sense.

His formation must have had something to do with all of these recent solar flares, right?

Not just one for locating, but one for world saving!

One that will create the exact opposite conditions of a solar flare-…

But seriously now. We don’t have much time. Scientists, what supplies will we need to create such a device?

It should be an unrealistically simple process, Lou. All we need are a few, simple household items.

I say I’ve been doing a terrible job of keeping up. Are you all scientists?

Scientists about to save the world!

Goodbye, Scientists.

Godspeed.

Nothing is impossible, space feind!

Except for things which directly contradict the laws of physics!

That’s not true at all!!

Yeah, he’s got a point Lou. That doesn’t really make any sense.

That!! There!!

We’re saved!

Prepare to witness the full power of the all-consuming sun!

Oh no! We’re doomed!

Well… Susan was there too.

But how will we obey the commands set by the man from the sun?
