Cole Potential, Ch. 1

"Beware the giant robot that looks like a cow!"

"His name is Mu and he shoots electricity from his fingers."

Q:  Is the robot evil or good?

"Well, neither, I guess he is neutral--but he gets mad sometimes."

Q:  How do you make him mad?  If I kicked him in the shin, would that make him mad?

"Definitely.   Also if you cough on him that infuriates him.   Actually it doesn't take much to get him upset."

Anna Karenina:  You see where he gets that anthropomorphized robot figure from don't you?

Q:  (and speaking in stereo):  Perhaps, but I'm not afraid of anything made of flesh and blood.   Unless its very big or can operate machinery that can shoot high doses of radiation at me--with excessive diagnostic testing.  Is Mu natural or man-made?

"Mu is definitely man made.  That's why he has so much Cole potential."

Q:  We must work together to defeat this giant robot before I accidentally cough on him.

"You cannot defeat Mu by any conventional means."

Q:  Lets try unconventional means then.   First, I propose that we lure Mu to a large man made bridge spanning a bay.  Then, we make him take a long walk in park near the bridge.   At the exploratorium in the park near the bridge, we take him by surprise by feeding him many Vietnamese Sandwiches without the special sweet chili mayo sauce.   Then we stuff his mouth with Japanese glutinous bean paste desserts.   That will overload his circuits and eliminate his Cole Potential.  You will see.

"I like your plan, but that only solves part of the problem.   We still will have to deal with his pet snake Pythor (aka Mr. Doctor Professor Pythor P. Chumsworth).   And Matt, Mu's big brother.  Matt is even more difficult to deal with.  He is most vulnerable when he is angry, but he rarely gets angry.

Q:  Well, I may have a solution to your problem.  First with regard to Pythor, given that he is a constrictor we will dispatch him with my portable rock of infinite space and dimension.   Pythor will be unable to constrict such an immense object.  It will keep him occupied for an infinite amount of time.  For Matt, the situation is much more problematic.  What are we going to do with him?  I suggest that we book him on a United Airline Flight which will inevitably be delayed--thereby increasing his anger.   At that point, we will assault him point blank with our bazookas which fire rapid rounds of banana filled sticky rice.  That should be highly effective in dispatching Matt.   Are there anymore denizens of the Cole Potential universe we much deal with?

"Let me think about it.  There is one more factor we must consider.   Matt has a secret weapon--a station that floats in space.   When the sun shines on the station, Matt is invincible.   When there is no sunlight, Matt can be attacked."

Q:  I'm not concerned about Matt's secret weapon.   Again, we will have him travel on United.  That way, he will be kept in the dark as to his arrival and departure times.  That should neutralize his defenses.

"Pythor has one more power I forgot to mention.   He can multiply himself.  But his clones are not as powerful as he......"
