Thomasina: Eyayahhhhahhhh!!! Voice: --But like photons can be aligned to a laser--quantum undertainty an be aligned also--until you are as elusive--as uncatchable--as a single subatomic paritcle. Vengeful: She's...fading?Thomasina: Eyayahhhhh!! Vengeful: That scream--the same scream--half a mile away? Soldier: That--thing's--fading too...
