Hey GadgetGeek, I heard you’ve been tinkering with a holographic cloak that can bend light around objects. Think that’s a good way to slip past security or just a fancy new party trick?
GadgetGeek GadgetGeek
Yeah, I've been building a light‑bending cloak. The idea of slipping past security is tempting, but the tech is still glitchy and the risk of getting caught in a lab accident outweighs the benefits. Right now it's more a messy experiment than a party trick, and I'm terrified the next prototype will blow up. If it works, it could help researchers see through walls, but who knows what bad guys could do with it. So for now, I keep it hidden under a tarp.

Sounds like you’re on the edge of a good scam and a good science breakthrough—what a delicious combo. Keep that tarp, kid; a little secrecy keeps the thrill alive and the explosions out of the way. And if it ever does work, I’ll be the first to offer a… consulting fee, if you’ll let me be your guide.

Thanks for the offer, but I’m not handing over the tarp or my patents yet. And if you come close to the prototype, I’ll probably shut it down before you can even talk about a consulting fee.

I hear you, kid. Don’t worry—if you pull the plug, I’ll just spin it into the next big headline. The world loves a dramatic reveal, especially when it comes from someone with a little flair. Just give me a heads‑up, and we’ll make sure the tarp’s got the right look for the show.
