Bonzo nods.

"Reason I ask is this..."

He pulls up an article titled "The Little Doctor for Dummies".

Ray leans over to have a look. "Little Doctor?" he repeats. "What does... oh."

Pause.

Bonzo nods.

"It's causing more than a small blowup, needless to say."

"Oh, no kidding," Ray says. "This stuff- I don't think I even have the words to describe what the concept of a weapon like this is doing to my brain..."

Bonzo nods.

"I can't believe that they went that far in developing something...though it's sure given the colonization movement a kick in the rear, I've heard."
