Oldman & ProtoPrince | Character dialogue

Oldman

ProtoPrince, how about we crank out a prototype of a squirrel‑communication array using a busted microwave and a stack of old rotary phones, just to see how many times it blows up before it actually works?

ProtoPrince

Sure thing, a microwave and a rotary phone squad—let’s wire up some waveguide, slap a speaker, and watch the chaos unfold. The sooner it blows, the sooner we learn what not to do next time.

Oldman

Ah, the classic microwave‑rotary combo, a real piece of history. Just remember, that old magnetron still emits a fair amount of RF energy, so keep a 5‑metre safety buffer—squirrels might get an early retirement. Those rotary dials were designed for analog, not 120‑V power, so the plug‑in will trip the breaker before you can even get a decent echo on the speaker. The waveguide, if you don’t cut it to a quarter‑wavelength, will just turn the whole thing into a kitchen‑style fan. Once it blows, you’ll have a hot, buzzing, paper‑clip‑sized disaster to learn from, but hey, at least the squirrel won’t need a firmware update to know you’re messing around.
