Humanity's attitude sometimes says something quite different. Anyway
onto the flash fiction!
The
Spy Bomb Diffusing Class
Now listen up
spies, people say it's always the red wire that you cut on a bomb to
stop it. If spies followed this advice many of them would be dead.
It's not always the red wire. Sometimes it's the blue wire. Sometimes
there aren't any wires. So spies let's take a short bomb diffusing
lesson from a sample scenario.
So let's say
you're hanging over a pit of robot sharks in acid. A standard trap in
many a supervillain lair and something you will probably run into in
your spy career. You're being lowered into the deathtrap slowly by
rope while the villain taunts you. Meanwhile the villain has set off
nuclear bomb to go critical after your death. He plans to escape
after seeing your demise to the deathtrap personally. He is in front
of the nuclear bomb which is a massive ball with all its wiring
exposed for the convenience of this lesson. What do you do?
The first part
of the answer is to escape the death trap by dramatically swinging
with the rope so that you're outside the tank as the traps lowers so
that only the rope will lower into the acid burning and therefore
releasing you.
However if you
thought that the second part of the answer was to go after the
exposed wiring you're wrong. You should actually go after the
supervillain and beat up him up until he tells you how to turn it
off, or otherwise just unplug it or something. Just turning it off is
better than causing a meltdown by pulling out its wiring.
So that's your first bomb lesson future spies. Remember it's not
always the red wire! Except when it is.
