Elements

Prologue

"Oh my god....." 

"What? Did something happen? Did it hurt you......?"

"No, but...... Look! Look at the meter..... We need to get these, these things away from the public."

"Four-thousand-seven-hundred-fifteen dels on the pain scale........ What did we create? What is the most a human can handle... again like..... fifty?"

"Forty-five......... That's not good is it?"

"No, it's the best news in the world. Of course it's bad! Have you lost your mind? These just might be the most dangerous things ever created by mankind! And you're asking if it's just 'not good'? How insane are you?"

"Well at least I don't talk about them like they're a disgrace to humanity!"

"Don't you get it...... They fucking are! If you can't see that then you're as blind as a bat.... No, even they have more sense than you........"

"You know what, I'm done fighting with you. Let's just transport them somewhere where the public will never have contact with them."

"Okay, fine. But they need names. And how on the fucking earth will we come up with one-hundred-and-three names?"

"I've got it. They need a school, and caretakers, yes?" 

"Mmmhmmm......"

"Well, we have fifteen adults, and rename them to be like the students. then we have one-hundred-eighteen. Which is exactly the number of elements on the periodic table. So, each one of them is named after an element."

"So there will be a human named Sodium? That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard."

"So you have a better idea then?"

"Well, no. But any idea is better than that."

"I don't care. I'm telling the administrators. Bye!"

"Fuck....... Well if she's really doing it, I guess one of you will be my little Sodium."
