A View of Dr. Wu's Now-Demolished X-Spectora VIII

Futility Vehicle

A number of our loyal readers expressed curiosity over the appearance of the hyper-velocity horseless contrivance developed in concert with Togoyama by Dr. Wu (mentioned in an earlier posting). The astounding vehicle (and very nearly Dr. Wu, had he not been fastened in with safety harnesses) was instantly reduced to metallic gerbil bedding and a lethal cold shower of hundreds of projectile-like steel bearings when it collided at very nearly the rate of 380 kilometers per hour with the Institute rubbish lorry within the confines of the employee parking lot. While Dr. Wu has been heartily congratulated for producing a personal utility vehicle (PUV) capable of (for no conceivable reason, of course, other than sheer bragadoccio) nonchalantly hurtling itself into the interstellar void, he has also been castigated for testing this wonder within the confines of the badly damaged Institute fabrication shop. [For the technically curious, note missing engine panel on X-Spectora VIII, revealing rear-ward Shaubut Ring assembly. We are instructed that had the Shaubut Ring's retrospheres contained the newly uncovered Time Jelly, the vehicle theoretically could have attained Spectral Unlimit before reaching the innocent "target," the accident would have been averted, and Dr. Wu and his creation--calculating from the vector through shop wall and inclination at that moment of our beloved home world--would now be deeply lodged within the core of celestial companion D'anna]
