とある物語#1

The clock was ticking, K had to make it to the target before the enemy does. Luckily, the enemy didn't know the exact unit of the target in the tower.

Rushing through the stairs, the view of enemy agents scrambling to locate the target could be seen. Time was running out.

"Deliver the documents to the target, get him to sign on the document and secure an escape route," K rehearsed the given orders in his mind while making into the room where the target supposed to be in.

Inside a middle aged man in lab coat, with a facial expression indicating surprise, but not fear - didn't look like he know the situation.

K opened the sealed document and passed it to the target. It looked like some sort of contract or agreement. The target grabbed his pen and prepared to sign, without looking through the document.

"Wait," K noticed something odd. From the contents of it, this document would place the target at a disadvantage, changing the ownership of his research to the organization.

"This is a trap... Why would the organization do this?"

BOOOOM!

The door got busted open, startling them. "Looks like we ran out of time."

Enemy agents soon filled the room, with K and the target held at gun point.

"Leave the man alone, and we'll let you live," ordered the female agent.

Confused, K tried hard to think of a way to escape, but he was clearly out-manned. Both the allies and enemies want this target dead.

"Go, don't worry about me!" the target seemed to had lost his will to live.

Cornered, K had no choice but to comply.

While getting escorted outside by the female agent, a gunshot was heard.

"Damn..."

爆発！

*cough*

It sure is dusty here…

Having an “explosive” luck this few days, literally. Things tend to go boom after I touch them.

First a 0.1 uF Tantalum 16V capacitor (yesterday) exploded on my face after plugging into my Pikachu, then a 3300 uF electrolytic capacitor (today) went off with a loud bang within 3 minutes after plugging into the yellow rodent.

While walking from the car park towards my office, I picked up a Sony Walkman that looked like it had gone through some serious torture – with the enclosure totally cracked open.

The LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery seems to be dry, so I decided to charge it with my laptop USB.

The impressive OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display lighted up flawlessly after plugging in, and the device seems to mount properly in my laptop, enabling me to access the contents inside.

Unknown to me, the LiPo battery was expanding rapidly, budging out like a balloon, waiting for the moment to… wait for it... explode. (yes, just like Chinese exploding batteries, AS SEEN ON TV)

Fortunately I unplugged it before it could scare the hell out of my colleagues.
