Challenge #00262: One Fine Afternoon at the Student Labs of Transylvania Polygnostic University

“Pull the lever, ____!”

“Wrong Lever!”

“Reanimation, of course, is a touchy subject. Unauthorised, unwanted reanimation has been the source of many problems. Of course, it’s easier with a construct, which is why we have our projects on the electrified slabs, today.”

Professor Kransky stoked the Lightning Engine and started the turbines. “NOW!” She shouted over the noise. “PULL THE LEVER!”

Oklitov, of course, reached for the wrong one and incinerated his construct.

“WRONG LEVER, OKLITOV! GO FETCH THE SPARE!”

The rest of the class was right to laugh at him.
