Challenge #04280-K262: Lucky For Some

Just because you don't look alike doesn't mean you don't have a twin out there, somewhere. So, a team of researchers asked themselves, what if good luckers had bad luck counterparts, all of them? And, if that were the case, was there a way to ensure good luckers don't gain an ego, and bad luckers have a way to save them from, literally, themselves? What if good luckers... have a bad luck twin? -- Anon Guest

[AN: The actual term is "match" or "counterpart" as twin has familial implications that confuse a great many Galactic Alliance citizens.]

Lucker Kash and Lucker Dov had been the first. The forces of science wanted to analyse the odd device that Ambassador Shayde had made for hir. It didn't matter how many times she told them that it was based on magic, they wanted to find out how it worked. They wanted to find out why it worked.

Magic and science didn't mix. After all, any significantly analysed magic is indistinguishable from science[1]. Some magic, by its very nature, defied analysis. Such as selecting a nontoxic quartzite river stone and holding it under the subject's tongue for an hour. Shayde insisted it was for the aura impression from the patient, but... one could never tell with Shayde.

She could be making them do that for her own amusement.
