Beast: I was reading in Scientific American about some bizarre US military research projects. There's a nuclear hand-grenade. A one kilo-ton yield you can throw...

Pen: Wow. (pause) You'd need a pretty good arm.

Beast: I don't think they're worried about the practicalities. There's also a Star Trek-style transporter project.

Both: Bwahaha.

I bet it's more *fun* to work on a transporter!
