Billy Dare Boy Adventurer with Quentin in -Smugglers' Cape- Ch. MCXIV: In Dr. Defile's Lair Defile: And now, Billy Dare, watch helplessly as I don my Electrobivor Craniacap! It uses electronic impulses to transform vibrations in my very synapses into solid thought! And thus shall I summon my army of Giant Orange Gorillas! Billy: That's amazing, Dr. Defile! But how exactly does that transformation occur? Defile: Silence, cur! Lest I use my Antimatter Quarkray Gun on you! Billy: How does that work? Defile: It harnesses the power of quarks to transport the target to the 28th Dimension! Billy: What do quarks have to do with dimension travel? Gorilla: Arrr Billy: And how is that poer harnessed, exactly? Defile: It uses magnetic enery to reverse the molecular structure of the ions in the dimensional aura... klik ZAP! Defile: Wh... What happened to all my machinery? --My devices?! Billy: Simple, Dr Defile! I was able to activate my Cosmitron Electroblaster hidden in my fingernail! Defile: ? Billy: It disintegrates any device whose explanation consists of a string of meaningless pseudo-scientific non sequiturs! Defile: Wow! How does that work?
