Somewhere in this great nation is a top-secret government agency in charge of providing aid to America's nonhuman citizenry. Perpetually overworked and underpaid, these dedicated civil servants soldier on with a dedication exceeded only by their respective passions for heavy rifles, stylish footwear, and good sturdy squeaky toys. They're not our country's best nor our country's brightest, but to all the lost and lonely creations of misguided science wandering the wild places of this country, they are a beacon of minimum-wage hope. This is their story.

“And it’ll look just like those things that shoot out t-shirts at ball games!”

Nick’s profanity filter didn’t scramble that expletive much, given it’s a common euphamism for the intended word… :)
Meanwhile, a sensible brain vending machine? Then again, Virginia is one of the few (relatively) sane practitioners of mad science…
…although the concept of bringing any vending machine (let alone one that dispenses brains) to a picnic may stretch the definition of sane…

A brainzooka?

If we needed proof that the good Dr. Lee has been in Ansigma too long , the sentance, “I’ll just build my own sensible brain vending machine.” would have to be it.

She just needs to get the ones already built working.

Sales should be brisk. After all, there is a severe shortage of sensible brains on board.
