Dark Matter (Etherica by Outlaw Effects)

Our Universe… the totality of existence… intergalactic space, galaxies, stars, planets and all matter and energy… an ever changing cauldron of protons and electrons, gas and rocks, colliding and rearranging… a cosmic billiard table where an occasional visitor from that chaos lands on earth in the form of a meteorite like this one.

(Display meteorite, pass it around during the next paragraph).

In 1834, a French scientist named Andre-Marie Ampere posited that all meteorites contained a free-energy source… that they acquired particles of dark matter as it passed through the cosmos and he was sure he could harness that power with a machine to collect that energy. After numerous tries and prototypes, Andre finally created his “Etheric Battery.” But typical of far-advanced ideas, Andre was never able to convince the established academics of the import of his device.

(Take out the box which houses the "Etherica")

That brings us to Cornelius Hobbs. Who better to curate such a marvelous device? The powerful Sanctum Society managed to obtained the “Etheric Battery” and loaned it to Cornelius to sequester into the Museum Obscura… out of the reach of the general public. After Cornelius died, Sanctum distributed the contents of the Museum Obscura among dedicated Sanctum members to hold and protect.

And that brings us to the contents of this box. (open the box, take out the pieces showing them around) The original “Etheric Battery.” The base… the collector platform with a charged meteorite and the emitter assembly. In pieces, it is simply antiquated technology… but when assembled… we have here the energy source of the universe.

Let’s put it together. (collect the pieces and assemble the "Etherica", demonstrating how the pieces fit, letting the spectators help hold the different parts, showing no concern that the spectators will discover anything “sneaky” about the “Etherica”)

As in all batteries… you need a negative and positive source of energy. This meteorite attached to the collector is negatively charged with dark matter. And the meteorite that I passed around holds a positive charge.

We can demonstrate the power of dark matter by placing the positively charged meteorite close to the collector. (Speaking to a spectator nearest to you) Would you like to do that for us (show them what to do, but don’t bring the meteorite close to the “Etherica.” You want the spectator to be the one that “triggers” it, “jazz” some of the dialog here if needed... now have them move the meteorite away from the Etherica… as the light dims… now have a second spectator take the meteorite and try it… emphasis the next line) Put it near the collector… (as the light glows) …can you feel the energy coursing through the meteorite? (they will… now have them move the meteorite away from the Etherica… and the light dims and goes out... now take the meteorite back).

(The following is said as you quickly dismantle the Etherica) Was this story simply fiction? Maybe? But what can we learn from a fanciful tale? Just as this light was but a dim beam in the dark… it is a beacon that guides us to the wonders of science and the marvels of the unknown that awaits us all.

I don't own etherica but I was extremely entertained just reading that. Brilliant.

Well... I could charge you something for them and then they wouldn't be so "poor" Just kidding... thanks for the nice compliment.
