"The lab is locked," the student said, "so how..."
The professor looked at the camera feed.
"Ah. You know how subatomic particles can spontaneously come into existence?"
"Yes, but that is not-"

"That is also said of us," the cat purred.
"It could be argued," the dragon conceded. "However..."

"As a knight," the king said, "it is your duty to kill dragons."
"Very well, my liege," the knight said. "Um. May I ask why?"

"Oh. Anyway, we're so powerless-"
"Let's do what we can."
