Grey Goo Self-Replicating Nanobots

Amadeus Emanon carefully observed what Renfield R. Renfield was doing in the Set Enterprises Lab.

He decided he had no idea what it was exactly the evil shapeshifting human/hamster was doing.

So he decided to ask him.

"What are you doing, Renfield?" Amadeus asked.

"I'm creating some grey goo self-replicating nano-robots or as some people call them grey goo self-replicating nanobots for short," Renfield replied.

"I see," Amadeus took another bite of his hot fudge sundae, "but why?".

"Well as you know, I've been trying to get an invitation to attend Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding but as you no doubt have sadly observed I've failed in all my attempts to get one," said Renfield.

"Well actually I've observed that but not in a sad fashion," Amadeus stated in a remark that seemed to piss off Renfield judging from the expression on his face, "so how is creating grey goo self-replicating nanobots going to help you get an invitation to the Royal Wedding?".

"Well shortly after the start of this century, Prince Charles gave a speech to a group of scientists in which he said that it was his fear that the world might be destroyed by grey goo self-replicating nanobots," Renfield explained, "he was immediately laughed at by the scientists and was heavily ridiculed in the press. Some even went so far as to say that the prince was off his rocker."

Renfield showed Amadeus a video of Prince Charles falling off his rocking horse while playing polo in the midst of a group of toy soldiers.

"Now if I can create some grey goo self-replicating nanobots and let them loose somewhere," Renfield grinned, "this will show the world that the Prince of Wales was right in his warning and His Royal Highness will ask Will and Kate to send me an invitation to their wedding."

"I don't know what to say to that," Amadeus looked at Renfield in a stunned fashion.

The heavens must have already had their opinion because seconds later Renfield fell off his rocking chair.

To be continued.
