Tran S Verse and Lon Gi Tudinal worked at the AMPlitude power plant creating energy bundles called WAVES. Their enemy, Destructive Interference, tried to sabotage the plant by sending pulses. Tran S Verse invented a pulse deflector called the WAVElength. When a pulse came, Lon Gi Tudinal and Tran S Verse used the WAVElength to send the pulse back to Destructive Interference, miraculously changing his ways and name to Constructive Interference. They went on to become billionaires from WAVES sales and now work on new technology.

2. There once were two men who
lived in Chicago. Tran S Verse
lived in a condo at the top of

Trough subway line to get to work
and then return at the end of the
day to go back up to his condo.

3. His friend and coworker,
Lon Gi Tudinal, lived in one of the
suburbs and traveled back and
forth to the city. He could make it
to work in 30 minutes if the traffic
had a rarefaction, but if there was
a compression, it could take him
up to 90 minutes.

4. Their job was to create energy
bundles at the power plant,
AMPlitude. These bundles were a
new source of energy called Water
Articulated Vicadination Entropic
Steppifinication, or WAVES, for
short. AMPlitude made sure they
were top secret.

5. AMPlitude had 1 enemy,
Destructive Interference, who
would stop at nothing to find out
how he could sabotage the plant.
There wasn’t anything he wouldn’t
do to cause all the WAVES to
cancel out. He would frequently
send pulses into the factory to try
and destroy it.

6. Tran S Verse had been working
on a new pulse deflector called the
WAVElength. One day Lon Gi
Tudinal saw a pulse coming
through the medium grass toward
the plant. He grabbed Tran S
Verse and the WAVElength
machine. Together they hit the
pulse with everything they had.

7. For a moment it looked like the
pulse was going to overtake them,
but slowly the WAVElength
machine worked and the pulse
began heading back toward
Destructive Interference.

8. The pulse slammed right into
Destructive and something
miraculous happened. He realized
how wrong he had been, promised
to make it up to the company by
increasing their WAVE sales and
boosting their production, and
changed his name to
Constructive Interference.

went on to become billionaires
through their sales of WAVES and
are currently working on a new
technology: Modern Arc
Grappling Networking Electrons
Toward Superspinification.
