The rare calm of the Almasi City morning was chased away by a chipmunk laughing maniacally atop a bipedal death stomper.
Almasi City was the non-crown jewel of Dunia. Not the capital, not where the monarch resided. But various kings had limited urban development around the castle, allowing neighboring city Almasi to grow into the biggest and most industrious city of the country.
And Eris Nemesis was going to conquer it.
She had a lot of good reasons. Someone stole a package off her stoop. It was impossible to find a good lab job and she had student debts piling up. Her parents kept asking when she’d conquer something. Her boyfriend broke down - revealing himself as yet another robot her parents sent to infiltrate her life. The last straw was her neighbor's stupid dumb loud muffler on his stupid dumb loud car making noise in the afternoon when a chipmunk was trying to sleep.
How dare he think himself so high and mighty, just for owning a car. So what if Nemesis didn't have a car! Now he didn’t have a car either! Because she disassembled it for death machine parts! So there!!
And once you had a death machine… well, it really had a way of burning a metaphorical hole in the metaphorical pocket.
So one bright and beautiful morning, Eris Nemesis looked out at the gorgeous sunrise and decided that today she’d start the reign of terror she always meant to start.
She drove the bipedal death stomper through her garage door and started it stomping down the road, indiscriminately firing off its weapons. Unless she saw something that annoyed her. Then she very discriminately fired.
Take THAT, billboard with the big-titted bikini model selling life insurance! Take THAT, supermarket that didn’t carry her favorite brand of soda anymore! Just because it was discontinued! A paltry excuse!! Take THAT, abstract modern art representing “the Determined Spirit of Dunia”! You look like a pretzel! Take THAT, random drivers!
Nemesis melted the engine block of a car.
The car sputtered to a halt and an irate squirrel popped out.
“Hey!” the squirrel squeaked indignantly. “I’m on my way to an investor meeting! I don’t need some random supervillian in a store bought death machine melting my car!”
The effrontery of this sciuridae! This big-boobed car owning bimbo had some nerve!
Well, Nemesis had meant to escalate from property damage to murder at some point. She hit a button on the controls that locked every single weapon onto this specific irritating squirrel.
But first to correct the aspersion that had been so rudely leveled at her.
“Fool! I am not so pedestrian that I would stoop to purchasing a death stomper from the store, like a common telemarketer! I built this wonderful contraption of violence in my garage with my own hands!”
The squirrel’s entire demeanor changed from aggravation to excitement.
She walked up to the death stomper, heedless of all the weapons and began examining it closely.
“All by yourself? Considering that it looks like it was made out of car parts, the craftsmanship is superb. Tell me, do you work at a science laboratory already?”
Nemesis scowled. “No. The inferior minds that run what can only generously be called the scientific facilities in this city are too short-sighted to hire me. They are too intimidated by my intellect and by me yelling that I would see them bow before me, who do they think they are to interview ME for a job?? But today I’ll show them, I’ll show them all!!!”
Even Doomsday Technologic had declined to hire her. That one had hurt.
“If you can do this quality of work out of a garage… Hmm…Do you have time for an interview right now?”
“What?” the chipmunk asked flatly. “Weren’t you going to a meeting right now?”
“Mr Quint won’t mind if I reschedule. That’s just a money meeting. This might be more important.” The squirrel stood on her very tippy toes and held up a business card to Nemesis, who took it. “I’m starting a new laboratory and I need enthusiastic people like you onboard. A new lab where science isn’t just a job, it’s a passion! It’s an obsession! It’s your identity!”
The business card said Dr Science of Science Laboratories. And then had that same science isn’t just a job spiel underneath in small text.
“So how about it?” Dr Science asked hopefully. “Are you interested in working at the newest and greatest experimental facility in Almasi City?”
“Oh, I’ll work for your lab… BUT ONLY AS A STEPPING STONE TO TAKING IT OVER! All will bow to Dr Nemesis! You will be broken and made little more than a trophy at my feet, to show what happens to those who think they can subjugate me! Your precious laboratory will be but the first to fall under my power! First the laboratory, then my parents’ house (the basement of which I reside in), then the city, THEN THE ENTIRE KINGDOM OF DUNIA WILL BOW TO QUEEN ERIS THE FIRST! ALL WILL BE SUBJECT TO MY IRON FISTED COMMANDS!”
“I love your enthusiasm!” Dr Science gushed. “The only question I have is when can you start?”
---
Yeah, that’s right. Drs Nemesis and Science first meeting.
Dr Nemesis isn’t what you’d call a good interviewee. Luckily she rampaged her way into a sweet job opportunity.
Luckily for her and luckily for the city. I imagine that she causes less trouble as an employee of Science Laboratories than she would if she were sitting around the house, seething at all the day’s petty annoyances and injustices against specifically her.
