Inflato-Ray 1.0: The First of the Fiascos
Dr. Emily Chen's team at the Institute for Unconventional Energy Research (IUR) was tasked with developing a revolutionary new technology that could inflate objects to incredible sizes using nothing but pure, unadulterated Inflato-Ray energy.
The first prototype, Inflato-Ray 1.0, was designed to inflate a small toy car to 1000x its original size. Unfortunately, the device got a bit too exuberant and ended up inflating the entire city block.
When Dr. Chen's team realized that Inflato-Ray 1.0 was getting a bit too enthusiastic, they attempted to develop Exuberance Controls to reign in the device's wild inflation.
However, these controls were not quite as effective as hoped, and the team soon found themselves dealing with a series of new problems, including Uncontrollable Exuberance and Exuberance-Induced Flatulence.
