"Urgent! Urgent! All parties on guard!"
The alarm we had installed for emergencies was blaring in the All-Mart basement. I was running as fast as I could to the main CPU room. I literally kick open the door, making sure my bag doesn't get too rustled. "K-Kururu! We're in a state of CODE RED emergency! RED!" I grab onto my knees in support as I pant heavy. "This... is... urgent..." I gasped out between breaths.

"You're acting as if I don't hear the alarms blaring, Jeremy." I replied calmly, although I too was feeling oddly startled. "We should be fine though, our defense systems are state of the art. We are geniuses, after all." I finished with a yawn, pressing a few keys on the main CPU. "I have a couple squads of Kururon 900 defense bots heading to the alert area now. Whatever bug got into our base should be blown to smithereens in a matter of minutes. Kee ke ke ke ke..."

"What? No, Kururu! Don't do it! You'll destroy it!" I fumble to get my bag in my hands, and quickly undo the bindings. Rummaging, I found the disturbance.. the most beautiful disturbance ever... "YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, KURURU! You'll destroy this!" I quickly pull out a can and throw it to Kururu. "Look at this! There IS a God!"

I turn and quickly tap a key, canceling my previous order, before catching the can. I stare in awe at the beautiful can in my hand, glasses, cracking in sheer awe of what I was seeing. "T-This is..." I turned the can around in my hand, taking in all of it's greatness. "This is simply astounding... I mean, this an intense discovery... Jeremy where in Urbadelphia did you FIND this?!"

"It... it wasn't easy! Word on the 'Net said that it existed... But I didn't believe it. Then I found this truck, parked outside of All-Mart on my way in..." I sigh, finally catching my breath. I move towards Kururu to marvel at my discovery with him. "I just... I don't even know what we should do with a discovery. What do you think, Kururu?"

"Well, based on experience, my scientific recommendation is that.... We sample this discovery. Go fetch the cups, i'll grab some top-quality ice." I replied, jumping out of my chair and running down some of the hallways to the gigantic freezer. Opening the large door, I enter said gigantic freezer and travel to the far back, grabbing the high-quality arctic ice. Trekking back out, I return to the main room to wait for Jeremy and the cups.

"Cups, cups, cups! Right!" I shuffle around the coffee table, looking for the cups. "Cupscupscupscupscups!" They were gone! "GAH! Kururu! I need to go upstairs!" And making a full sprint up the stairs, I run to the plastic/paper cutlery aisle, and sigh with relief, grabbing the first bag of styrafoam cups I found and making another full sprint back down the stairs.
"Kururu! I got them! Do you have the ice!?" Luckily, he was just getting back with the eyes. "Oh good! You do! This is... mind-numbing! Am I dreaming, Kururu?!"

"No son, WE'RE dreaming." I reply, holding up the ice. "The only nightmarish part is that you grabbed styrafoam cups..." I said with a false sadness. "You know how I dislike styrafoam cups." I began to break the chunks of ice into more manageable pieces. "But I suppose I can make an exception this once... Bring those monstrosities over here. Ke ke ke..."

I laugh lightly and set the cups onto the table, ripping the bag open and taking out two cups. "Sorry, Kururu. I'll remember to grab plastic next time." Of course he'd forgive it this time. Our new discovery was... a special occasion. I grab a few canisters of this precious resource out of my bag and set them on the table. "Master Kururu, if you'd do the honors..." I mock-bow, motioning to the table.

"Of course, of course. I was the one who introduced you to the control group in the first place, remember?" After all, I definitely remember the first day we found it in the freezer section. And what an astounding day that was... Lifting the tab with a crack, I opened the can and poured it's contents into one freshly iced cup. The contents fell like red liquid-gold into the cup; moving like a brilliant stream until I stopped pouring. I did the same for the cup in front of Jeremy before taking my own cup in hand.
"Well, cheers I guess." I said, holding my cup out to Jeremy. "Kee ke ke ke ke ke!"

I tap the styrafoam cup to his, for some reason very much enjoying the squeaking sound it made, and hold the cup to my mouth. I could smell its sweet, delicious aroma. "I almost don't want to drink it... It feels sacred, Kururu..." I marvel at the wonderful red color around the ice. It seemed to shine, even in this dark basement. "Well... here it goes..." And I quickly tip the cup up, letting the delicious red gold flow into my mouth.
I hold it there, savoring the taste, swishing it around gently like fine wine. And then I down the contents... "K-K-Kururu... what do you think...?"

I resist the urge to flinch at the sound of the styrofoam cups, simply due to the fact that i'm determined to reach my cup, and begin to lift the cup to my mouth. I stare for a minute at it's majesty, wondering how science could possibly develop something so wonderful, before realizing that it's science we're talking about here. Science can do ANYTHING. Snapping out of my moment of weakness, I slowly tip the cup upwards and allow some of the shimmering red liquid to flow into my mouth.
Holding for a moment, I swish the liquid around to examine the taste. It reaches even the far crevices of my mouth, allowing me to fully 'feel' the flavor. After a few more seconds of studying, I release my hold upon the substance and let it flow into my stomach. "That... That was simply marvelous..." I begin to say, trailing off as my thoughts flow through my mind as quickly as the red gold flowed down my throat.
"... but I think I prefer the original."
"Kee ke ke ke ke!"

I sigh and nod slowly. I toss the empty cup behind me, styrafoam cup bouncing off the ground once, then starting to roll away. "Yeah, honestly, I agree. I don't very much like this flavor at all..." My face was clearly disappointed as I sigh. "Well, we still have about ten truckloads of original Holler left... It'll help get us through today's work." I shake my head at the empty cup that had stopped rolling on the ground with a depressing frown.
"Do you think Mr. Achroma would like this stuff? He always has been one to like the unusual..."

For the last few weeks, I've had a lot of ideas floating in and out of my bored mind. A lot of scientific ideas. Ideas that would cause quite a bit of sweet, sweet chaos if I pulled them off correctly. But for my ideas to work, I would need some assistance. After all, I can't be in two different places at once, and my minions are a bit too dull to follow my orders. Going over the list of contacts I try so hard to maintain in my head, I though of all the possibilities...
Hrm, I could probably ask Jack for some help, but him and his kind are always up to something annoying, and I don't feel like being dragged into another one of his messes... Hojo might help me; he likes fun science stuff. But i'd need to contact him first, and hope he's not busy ruining lives. Let's see... Now that I think about it, the only people I really know off hand are people I've run tests on, and that's only to check in on what my work has done... Stumped for once, I walk into a nearby All-Mart and head towards the back freezers.
Wait, is this THAT All-Mart? I stop and quickly look around for a set of stairs leading to a basement. Finding them quite easily, I look around and wait until the clerk isn't paying attention to sneak down said stairs. Oh, what positively perfect timing! I know for sure that these two would love to take part in my latest project! I descend the stairs, hastened by my excitement, to hear my name mentioned by a familiar voice. "Do you think Mr. Achroma would like this stuff? He always has been one to like the unusual..."
As if on cue, I half-sprint behind Jeremy and slam my hands down on the table on both sides of him, resting my head atop his. "Like what, my dear Jeremy?" I ask with an oddly sweet voice, before leaning into him slightly. "Another one of your crazy soda pops?" I question, hoping for a 'yes'. These two always manage to find the coolest drinks...

"DUEUEUEUEUEUA!" I yelp, jumping up, and falling into a position with one foot on the ground, other leg crossed over the first, arms held up in a defensive flinch. I instantly recover, ducking out from under Achroma, and crouch-sprinting halfway across the room. "Don't DO that, Mr. Achroma! It's not cool!" I let myself relax a bit, but keep up a guard now that he was here.
I sigh and droop a shaking head. "Yeah... Mountain Holler, Red Howl. It is good, but rather disappointing if you ask me... Feel free to take some."
