Here's a little something I wrote up really quick after reading various posts about Nuclear Reactors. It isn't too highly developed... but oh well. Enjoy. The Pride Lands Reactor (Dawn breaks over the Pride Lands. We see the familiar shape of Pride Rock, and next to it a new, foreign shape.... Two cooling towers, bigger than the rock itself, and a large cement dome. In a scene reminescent of CoL, the animals of the Savannah are fanned out in front of the towering structure, with Simba and Nala on a podium directly in front of the gate of the structure.) Simba: Welcome, all, to the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Pride Lands Nuclear Power Plant! (Animals all cheer..) Simba: After taking my rightful place as King of these great lands.. I decided to bring the Pride Lands out of the Dark Ages, literally... (chuckles from audience..) Simba: So my first task was to create this great power plant, to provide us with the wonderful force called electricity!! It is safe, clean, and can provide us with energy forever!! (Crowd Yays.) Simba: (Hands a huge pair of scissors to Nala,) Now, if you would Nala, cut this ribbon and open this plant for operation! (Nala smiles at Simba and the Crowd, and cuts the long red ribbon strung across the gate of the plant, the crowd rejoices.) (In the reactor control room... Timon, Pumbaa, and Zazu man the controls.) Timon: (Listens into walkie-talkie...)That's it, Light 'er up!! Zazu: This is a bad idea, I wish he would have listened to me, but NO. All I get for my years of faithful service is 'quiet Zazu!, It's my kingdom Zazu!, Why don't you go find yourself a girlfriend or something Zazu....' Timon: Oh stop your complaining, right now we have a reactor to get going! (Timon nods to Pumbaa, who flips a few controls to start the reactor up. Gauges for temperature, steam pressure, reaction rate, and water pressure start to rise..) Timon: (Smiles at the rising gauges...) Engage the Turbine, Zazu... Zazu: *sighs* I would never have to do this under Scar.... Timon: What was that? Zazu: *chuckles nervously* Nothing, nothing at all.... (He engages the turbine, and power output starts to rise...) (Back outside in front of the plant, steam starts to rise from the cooling towers, and a small lightbulb on the podium slowly lights up, the crowd yays.) Simba: There you have it, Clean, Safe, Nuclear Power... (Back in the control room....) Pumbaa: Uh.. Timon? Timon: What Pumbaa? Pumbaa: Look at this gauge... (Timon Looks at the reactor water level gauge. It is strangely low.) Timon: It's fine Pumbaa. Pumbaa: Are you sure? Its just a little low... Timon: Pumbaa, Who's the brains in this outfit? Pumbaa: Uhhhhhh.... Timon: My point exactly. (Walks back over to his station.) ( A few minutes pass. An alarm sounds.) Timon: Jeez, its an alarm! Zazu: I knew something would go wrong... Pumbaa: What's going on Timon? Timon: How am I supposed to know... Run Pumbaa!! (They all flee the control room. In the meantime, the reaction goes out of control, and the reactor quickly melts down, releasing deadly radiation across the Pride Lands that, in time, kills everything.) The end. The moral of this story? Uh... Don't let Timon and Pumbaa run a nuclear reactor. :/ -Brian Nyuni@mac-addict.com --- Begin TLK Code------ TLK++++ A++>+++ B++>+++ D+++>++++ C>++ L++ Mt++>+++ Pna++ W+>++++ S++>+++ Tzmt++++ RLRB a cm+++ e+>++++ h++>+++ i++++ lztpb sm# End TLK Code-------- TLKiaWoL!
