Hi, Mechanic! Thanks for the feedback! I've made a couple changes.

The teleportation incident was a reference to The Fly, but you made a good point, so I've tried to make it clearer.

I hadn't thought about that, so I took your advice and explained the theft.

Here are a couple pieces of trivia. One, I came up with the idea after remembering an incident with a reporter named Serene Branson. She was doing a live report when she started looking confused and messing up her words. She kept going, but by that point her speech was complete gibberish. It looked like she were having a stroke on live TV, but turned out she had suffered some kind of migraine. Two, I decided to reference a bunch of 1950s B-movies and hit BadMovies.org and Wikipedia. The movies referenced are Plan 9 from Outer Space, The Blob, Beginning of the End, Them!, The Deadly Mantis, The Black Scorpion, Attack of the Crab Monsters, The Killer Shrews, The Giant Gila Monster, The Fly, X: The Man with the X-ray Eyes, The Beast of Yucca Flats, The Cosmic Man, Cat-Women of the Moon, 20 Million Miles to Earth, The Giant Claw, The Monster that Challenged the World, and Monster a Go-Go. In any case, I'm glad you liked it!
