Years ago, young Armand Singh worked with Dr. Oppenheimer on the Manhattan Project. He suggested a system of shaped charges to negate pre-initiation, earning praise from his mentor. As an adult, he oversaw the vivisection of animals, and later began taking political dissidents from prison as test subjects. When other scientists began to question their work, and sign antinuclear petitions, he considered them cowards. He burned their petition. As the other Manhattan Project scientists watched the first nuclear explosion with awe, Mindbender merely smiled, proud of what science could accomplish.

Synopsis
  • Years ago, young Armand Singh worked with Dr. Oppenheimer on the Manhattan Project. He suggested a system of shaped charges to negate pre-initiation, earning praise from his mentor. As an adult, he oversaw the vivisection of animals, and later began taking political dissidents from prison as test subjects. When other scientists began to question their work, and sign antinuclear petitions, he considered them cowards. He burned their petition. In the jungles of South America, he oversaw inoculations of the local children. A woman working with him asked if there had been any human clinical trials yet, and he responded that she was witnessing them. He gave brain surgery to living patients, slowly destroying parts of the mind and noting the degradation of skills. He gave a pregnant woman a new drug to combat morning sickness. As the other Manhattan Project scientists watched the first nuclear explosion with awe, Mindbender merely smiled, proud of what science could accomplish.
