shows off his newest additions Mechanical Electrical Magnetic Chemi cal Light Heat Nuclear I did not add sound energy Yeah yeah yeah says Klank Because I have the sound energy I am making a new Robot Boogie Listen Badang badang badang Perfect says Frank All forms of ener gy But the most completely amazing fact about energy is that it cannot be created or destroyed It can only change from one form to another Hmmm says Watson clearly not that amazed And how does any of this help me with my new invention Watson fiddles with a pile of tiny paper balls dried peas and BBs searching for ones that fit nicely inside his big plastic straw Watson fits a pea into the opening He blows a quick puff of air and shoots the pea at an empty soda can that he has set up as a target The pea curves wildly and pings off Klank’s metal canister

This is exactly what we're working on says Frank Forces Forces are how energy is applied in the world Forces are how motion happens And a lot of that was figured out by this guy Frank points to his Wall of Science Maybe the most famous scientist ever Sir Isaac Newton He figured out the Three Laws of Motion Nice hair says Watson And we can use these laws about forces OBIG While Frank is talking Watson loads a small plastic BB into his shooter He aims at a metal pipe on the ceiling to direct the energy
The BB misses the pipe and hits an alu minum duct tink And suddenly a loud CREAK THUMP BOOM fills the laboratory The walls shake A whole section of the ceiling collapses and crashes to the concrete floor in a huge tangle of splintered wood and metal pipes I didn’t do it yells Watson He looks at his peashooter Did I do it But before anyone can say anything else a hulking figure with massive arms and a sinis ter hooded head rises out of the mess croak 66 ing moaning It’s going to attack yells Watson Everyone duck Everyone
