during viral transcript

during the influenza's viral transcription

Jonah you ready to head out all set during viral

yes

Jonah

Jonah

Jonah are you alright in there

Jenkins what are you doing here it's our day off

brain in a jar

my research doesn't have a day off and it's a brain jar

what else would one put in it

what are you doing here

have access to every art portfolio in history

where else would I be

Jenkins do you have any more yellow pens

second drawer

under the thing that looks like a space helmet

but is not

she's making her own map of the lay lines

based on the observation you've made

since taking a residence here

blinding my work why are you blinding me today

I'm researching magical threats

getting up a little sick of blindly fighting

minotaurs and giant trolls

why is everybody here isn't this our day off yeah

what is this someone left it on that doorstep

never done that before

no

must be a magical threat of truly epic proportions

or something absolutely apocalyptic

going on at the The Chicago Land stem fair

sponsored by the Mccabe Learning Foundation

what the hell is a stem stem

stem Science Technology

Engineering and mathematics

it's a science fair

Jenkins give this baby a spin we're going to Chinatown

stem tears are the cutting edge of amateur research

I'm just saying what kind of magical

world

ending apocalypse could possibly happen at a cheesy

high school science fair

nobody

these kids take science very seriously

God yes blood on the floor best mind wins

participants and spectators

welcome to the 6th Annual Chicagoland stem fair

brought to you by the Mccabe Learning Foundation

please welcome our title sponsor

and Foundation President

science education expert Lucinda Mccabe

woo hoo

hello everyone

our organization the Mccabe Learning Foundation

is committed to encouraging and rewarding

academic excellence

this is why along with our corporate partners

we support the Chicago Land stem fair

and other science events like it

throughout the country

we will not only be rewarding the winners today

with full college scholarships

but also internships and even research grants

like we always say in stem world science wow

robots semiconductors

virtual reality

whatever happened to a good old fashioned baking soda

volcano paper shave volcano

baking soda a little vinegar

okay stem tears are where the best and brightest come

to show off the future

they are so far beyond baking soda volcanoes

I like a baking soda volcano

hello hi there

I'm Lucinda Mccabe

are you all parents or family members

hi how are you

good we are the librarians

oh you're the judges from the county library

welcome I am so glad you were able to find it

okay with the directions

your welcome packs are right over there with Mrs

Schweker so enjoy

someday that cover story is not gonna fly

alright split up find something magical

climateological changes

environmental impact on the shifting

migratory patterns of an hydrolutros

as you can see I'm combining a multi stage

ultraviolet treatment with hybrid

silicone nitrate materials

in the water filtration system so cool

in molecular cloning the DNA of the target molecule

by which she means the subject of the experiment

not the target replication molecule

that DNA is treated with enzymes

and broken down into smaller DNA chains

both ergotic theory

and statistical physics will be revolutionized

by my approach to extreme ocomotatories

it's a baking soda volcano finally

hello and welcome to the world of magma

my project today is a

I can't do this what's wrong

tell you what's wrong

you brought a paper mache volcano to it

I'm not even supposed to be here

I'm way out of my league

no way know what you are Leonard

you are an underdog and yes

and all the greats were underdogs

come on

show us what you got

good hustle on the non radioactive isotopes

vibrational multidynamics

a little hacky you were one of these kids

I don't mean to brag but

I was a monster

at this whole like wall full of trophies

and I bet you still on every single one of them

no no

um you know things change and some things never change

why are we even nice glasses for you

God think you should be friends

high schools like prison you

find a crew to run with

and keep all the other crews down which crew are you in

is that supposed to do that

no I mean

were you a Gothic or a cool kid

well

I'm magical enough for you

all right everything's fine

looks like

one of our contestants got a little too enthusiastic

with his display

and mixed his chemicals little too strongly

it's like we always say

it's not science until something's on fire

even now that contestant is getting a firm talking to

by some librarians

who are judges and also librarians

tell us what happened Leonard

what happened my volcano freaking exploded

I mean did you see that

it was insane

I need to sit down

you are sitting down Leonard

you know what I think

I think you created an amateur looking project

so no one would suspect you were actually competing

and then used let us say

unnatural means to create an amazing effect to win

but we're not mad

you're not no

Leonard we're not

we're here to help you I'm here to help

you are yes Leonard

I'm here to work with you to fix this

I just need you to take a deep breath

and tell me the absolute truth

when you say my name

it's like a thousand angels singing

about the volcano Leonardo

I meant oh the volcano

imagine her eyes are like opals

I know buddy

now what did you mean when you said you weren't

supposed to be here I was like the 5th alternate

I hate these fairs but my dad made me enter

what happened to the five students ahead of you

I don't know when I got here this morning

I heard a bunch of freaky stuff happened to them

Jonah Gordon he's like Einstein

he got paralyzed by a virus and this other kid

I heard that she got an allergy so rare

only like one in 10 million people ever get it

he's telling the truth you sure yeah

hey hey

okay

Colonel Barrett says that

whoever is doing this is still out here

Leonard isn't the source of the magic

under contestants for as many spectators

really narrows things down okay

we need to move methodically

through all of the displays

and find one that doesn't belong

or we can follow my hunch hunch no

no no no no

no no hunch

not a scientific method it's my method

I'm a librarian too

even had some trophies myself back in the day

what did you win when

just all of them all of them

I've already told you like 3 times about it

not right smile

that the Newton's cradle

and exercising conservation of momentum

magic oh I rather doubt that

you're out of the Annex

I was just gonna stand around all day

waiting for you to call

and then I remembered I have free will

besides science fair as a underappreciated

albeit innovative scientist myself

I admire these clever young people

splendid

alright check it

this last ball here right before the volcano

it was all floaty like looks normal now

magic is rewriting local reality

laws of physics in this auditorium are starting to bend

so this thing's magic

no sort of a early warning device makes no sense

I mean there's already enough power and play

that could be summoned by a single amateur

you're looking for a coven

a group of magic users working together

how do we find a coven

3 look for the pattern of three

fructose and water poured over frozen water

miraculous

good spot

perfect

she say where they went stem head yeah

she said they passed the dynamic something project

and then turn behind the blobbity blah blah

math theory thing left her right

yeah I saw it looks pretty good

okay remember magic is power

focus and effect the power in this case

comes from the desires of the coven

the focus that could be an artifact

could be a spell and the effect is like that

they were all focused on one girl

it's time get your instrument

excuse me excuse me hi yeah

that girl who was here where is she

um hi

oh my you're the judges aren't you

this is Amy Myers Booth don't worry

I can take you through the project

please don't talk at any points

okay so in molecular cloning

hey stop what you're doing stop what you're doing

what are you doing I'm asking Amy to

put the past behind us and move into the future with me

holding only each other's hands and hearts

for all eternity

Tasha you know I can't date right now

school is too important

winning this stem fair comes first

just prom please

we had something great nothing is more important

than getting into a good college and

excuse me Amy Meyer

do you know her are you kidding

you're not kidding of course

yeah I

I guess I swallowed it

so what we have established

is that the insects were in a nest

below the auditorium floor

and they were attracted to the chemicals

in the students experiments probably um

so the student is now resting comfortably

he's at the hospital shouldn't we cancel the fair

if we do that

we will have to forfeit all of these projects

and unfortunately

we will disqualify your students from the scholarship

competition or you could just award it to Amy

we all know who's gonna win

I I think in the true spirit of science

we will soldier on

librarians have you turned in your judging slips yet

oh so much to see in some distractions

can you believe this year's luck

first the entire top run of competitors drops out sick

and there's that chemical explosion

and now Tim is swarmed by bugs

swear it's almost like there's a curse on the stem fair

this year

magic that's funny

that's it nobody's trying to win

they're trying to get everyone else to lose

that would be an extraordinarily bad idea

so the rule of 3 amplifies the spell for good or bad

any direct harm you do unto others

with malicious intent

will be visited back upon you threefold

we think there are multiple victims

well then somebody has a wall up of a backlash coming

fatal at least

all right here

this will help you find the focus

there's no way that amateurs

I don't care how many

are wielding that kind of power without a focus

either autofact or spell

are we even sure somebody would go to these lengths

to win a science fair yes

yes these kids live for this competition

I mean it can define your whole future

whoever's using this magic

doesn't know about the rule of 3

they're just trying to break out from the pack

make their parents proud look

I know the pressure that these kids feel

when I was in school

if someone had given me a magic wand

or a spell that would have helped me win the stem fair

or get into a good college

I would have used it

what a bunch of science kids get a magic focus

well it's like tracking a WMD

figure out who's using it

trace it back to the source

we need Intel on all the kids who might be involved

but from a source who isn't part of the suspect pool

I got this

how'd you know I was in here

well this is her place right

I mean this is her world

that's where it all started

you guys have a lab together

probably dissected a frog

hmm she's reaching for the scalpel

it was a dumb idea she's an alpha kid

I'm going through the most cliche

and unironic of all teenage phases

I don't belong with her

the alphas or the sports or the four 20s or the bees

she walks in beauty like tonight

cloudless climbs and star skies

and all that's best of dark and bright

meet in her aspect and her eyes

this Lord Byron

technically a romantic

but he pretty much gave Gothic tradition of boost

in the early 18 so what you kids think Gothic is with

with the with the painted fingernails in the pale

you know what I'm talking about

but he was a badass

you see

so the jocks and the alphas and the geeks and the goths

those are all roles we play

those are costumes we wear

and in this just to fit in with whoever at the time

you want to fit in

I bet nobody ever beat you up for saying poetry

no I didn't

not for that not for reciding poetry

you know why cause I wore my costume

I wore it like second skin

in a ward for too long you like the girl

don't let your costume yours or Amy's stop you

you think yeah

tell me about Amy

tell me about Amy and her friend

hi so Tim the bug boy who also dated Amy by the way

who's a hater hates because she won last year

have forced Elise to break up their partnership

so she could go for the gold

solo against the Ortiz twins allegedly

now I said allegedly

may or may not have stolen research from Kanesha

which forced her to switch projects

so she could go in direct competition

when again Tim Salas gonna go

known only as the robot check okay

I take it back it's easier to find WMD's

there is one common link everybody except Asher

hates Amy because she's the front runner

most likely the target just hasn't been hit yet

huh

excuse me hi

we're here for some follow up questions

oh asking me anything

we're ready everyone says she's the front runner

oh we've been winning these since first grade

MIT

and Dartmouth have been after us since middle school

well balance is also important

you need to make sure you have hobbies and social life

distractions ma'am distractions

Miami is laser focused

and we will not stop till we get what we want what

what is that that thing

this is the um the Jones Amato

it calculates based on uh

stem fair criteria using algorithms and uh

vertical compliance

it predicts the winner uh 99% accuracy

oh well please Jones us as much as you want

some people use the term tiger mom

I'm the Wolverine of mothers

admirable what about you Amy

totally ready to kick butt and take names

okay well

I think we've seen enough

thank you oh

you saw enough the second you laid eyes on our boot huh

yeah

they loved us

alright show me the magic

what do you got you got a wand

a jewel a monkey's paw

are we sure I mean

Jenkins said we need a powerful focus

that thing is barely registering

and who's the third rule 3

Amy her mom

they want the same thing not sure about that

who's the third member of the coven

what you do I just did this page here

this app

a L B

it's a magic spell

someone turned a magic spell into an app

so I'm familiar with a quote

any sufficiently advanced technology is

indistinguishable from magic

turns out any sufficiently disguised magic

as indistinguishable from technology

that is a wish fulfillment spell

it's disguised as one of those brain trainer things

the Advanced Learning Buddy

you know list how many words that rhyme with mash

in under a minute your IQ goes up 20 points

smash lash

dash rash

crash right

distracts you with the test

but each level has you advanced

that tells you to focus on a goal

before kicking you up to the next level

and the player has unknowingly perform basic rituals

embedded in the code

once that is completed successfully

is prompted to wish structural leads

witchcraft without all of them

I have Newton nonsense

how did a teenager create something like this

no way Amy built this

I mean if you look into the kite

even looking past all the glowy bits

it's way more complex than anything I've ever hacked

and I've hacked the NSA

allegedly

the Magic 2 is powerful

even brutal expertise in the craft

that I have not seen in a very long time

and this is what's hurting these kids

certainly are you wish that you defeat your opponent

even subconsciously the spell is so powerful

it amplifies that wish makes itself

Sandra was right Amy's using this to get ahead

but she has no idea the blowback

that's kind no

she's not the harm will return to her

Mr Jones no

what I mean is look at the usage data

I mean

this is a powerful magic spell transformed into an app

but Amy has never ever used it

so the one person I can prove is using magic

is not using magic

great so who is

excuse me

dashle no

but wait please don't go

you're not librarians are you

you saw Leonard's Volcano

what happened to Tim everybody else

all of the weird sicknesses and accidents

this is gonna sound crazy

but you have an app on your phone

I know it my mom gave it to me but I didn't use it

your mom made it no

no she got it off this website for proactive parents

it's what they call themselves

get together and talk about being awesome parents

they opened it once but it felt wrong

like greasy in my head

everyone else was using it

and more they used it the more they focused

and the more they focused

the more their wishes came true

you still didn't use it

cause my wishes weren't about being smarter

you're about being normal

I mean I didn't want to not be smart

I just didn't want it to be the only thing that

you were

you wanted another adjective

you were one of us

I had a whole wall of trophies

so are your parents the same

no dates no movies

no social life no

hobbies that don't look good on a college application

just working towards the perfect future that they had

in their minds

yeah pretty much

to get better

no

it just ended

I think the dream that they had in their head

was too big for me to carry

I think they loved it more

what's the problem with you

she gave me the website for the app

how much did you hear

didn't hear a thing

whatever happened to your wall full of trophies

when this went from supermath to hallucinations

I dropped out of school

came home one day

my parents had just tossed all of my trophies

they thought they'd be a painful reminder

that I wasn't who I used to be

we should be finishing the judging

which room do we put the trophies in

no I'm dodging one of the crazy mothers

oh

my

I'm in through the main website

there are thousands of downloads

but at this location right now there are

27 active uses three times three times three

that's a rule of three thrice over so

20 backlash increases exponentially

Jenkins we found something

there's some sort of accidental super coven

what right now

okay okay

Jenkins freaking out about something

if all of those kids are using that spell

against each other

then a giant feedback loop is building inside that stem

fair okay

I'll handle Jenkins you

make sure these kids don't

turn the school into a smoking crater

well yes

hi there oh hi

this is amazing

she meant to be here as in the library recruited her

surely not

um I'm assuming we have one of those memory wiping

do hickeys might wanna get that

Colonel Barrett Mr Kabe

I'm sure you must be very confused right now

no actually you fell

you bumped your

no actually no

actually everything just got much much clearer

Colonel Beard

I would like you to meet Morgan Buffet

listen to Mccabe is Morgan Le Fay

I know that name and you're a librarian

sort of know that name oh Guardian

sorry I'll talk slower hey

sister of king

author responsible for the downfall of Camelot

oh come now we both know that's not true delayas

most powerful witch on the planet

raised an army and killed author

no I prefer sorceress

which has too much gender baggage

oh you found one

it's lovely isn't it

a word to the wise

I'd stay here for the next few minutes if I were you

it's all about to begin the feedback loop

all this magic flying around

the rule of 3 coming to punish

all those naughty little boys and girls

now if you'll excuse me colonel

shoot her don't tell me who

shoot Jenkins thank you Guardian

oh I will shoot you

but not because he says so

what happens to those kids when the backlash begins

she is one of the most evil creatures hold your tongue

please if shooting me was an option

how do you think I would have survived the 19th century

when Tennyson became popular it was a nightmare

she has left a trail of what

a thousand years long go get her

whatever the cop

got it haha

oh yeah

that's pretty cool Lafay

she's the one who built the app

actually Ukrainian programmers built the app

I just built the wish spell

you hurt kids that's awful

I never hurt anyone darling

that's the scam but magic in the hands of mortals

and they will inevitably destroy each other

I just sit back and wait for the rule of 3 to kick out

its backlash

so you're doing it for a cheap thrill

then please

all that magic floating around

all that destruction I just skim off

the top recharge my powers stay young

wow she could be anywhere in history no

she's still here cause she's not done yet

I'll go north you go south

alright

pull a fire alarm evacuate everyone no

those 27 kids they're linked by magic

the rule of three can find them anywhere

we're gonna protect them from here

a fair day cage it's like a container

that energy can't get into or out of right

but takes everything inside from an electrical charge

we don't have time to construct something like that

somebody already did

hey hey

what are you doing are you crazy

you were assigned to this boost this table weren't you

yeah we're all signed up boost by the Mcgate Foundation

wow stone

look at this 5 legs on around table

it's a pentagram

they wanted to keep Amy in the fair longer you're in

the more hostility be thrown at you

more backlash better harvest okay

so we need to take the legs off the table

spread them out

and then get everyone inside the pentagram

and you think that'll work

it will be supercharged the app

it's a focusing spell so if we plant the stakes

and then use it to focus all of our energy on creating

the ferrodae cage

protecting the kids

do you think you can map out the pentagram

was a surveyor for 10 years

I can estimate distance like a tech amateur

I'll find Jones get some more phones

five legs but there's only four of us

no five

give me no

they most certainly do not have you

you never use the app for bad look

I don't know what's going on here

but you are trying to make mom stop

stop it's me

not us

it's my life

Magic's real

magic's real awesome

okay let's break this table

hi there

I'm a very important judge

impress me oh

oh okay

the sea otter is generally considered adorable

but it is in fact history's greatest monster

and if we don't take action immediately

it will take over the planet and destroy us all

sorry what

this stops right now

I've always wondered whether Guardians were envious of

or annoyed by the librarians

what are you gonna do

we've already established you can't shoot me

how did you touch me there's no magic in the world

stronger magic your advanced learning buddy

help me visualize something I wished for

and even playing field

you got about 5 seconds to stop

what's going on out there TikTok

stop the trick I'm not doing it

this is blowback for all their evil deeds

coming for them multiply by 3 by 3 by 3 haha

I couldn't stop it if I wanted to

looks like you have a choice Guardian

either you kill me or you save the kids

no time for both

I do believe you have a chance

the first time I've heard in centuries

would you still have to make a choice

kill me or save them

this isn't over

promises promises

the final X is on the stage

they're not all inside the pentagram

if they're not in the middle it won't work

attention everyone I'm Amy Meyer

and the electrical disturbances you're seeing

are just a side effect of my last minute project

a five sided Tesla coil field

100,000 volts will soon pulse through this room

now there is a downside to my awesome experiment

if you're not all in the center of the room

you may be electrocuted sorry

no way that's impossible

I'm Amy Meyer I've won every ribbon

every medal every trophy that you've wanted

since we were 5 years old

do you really think I'm bluffing

so center of the room right

center of the room middle

hey jacket go to your spot

go

huh

huh

huh

haha wow

more power than forever

where is everyone don't worry

you did it you saved them all

they're out there somewhere in the world

and where are we

between the seconds between the tick and the Tok

so let's finish this then Guardian

on your best day you might be able to mess up my hair

and you already had your best day

now what you bring magic back to the world

rule it bring magic back

oh my

no

thanks to you I finally have enough power to hide

you did all this so you could hide

maybe even open a door to the Fay

or the Mirror

Lands anywhere but this doomed little world

when it happens and what happens

you understand

you've already been woven into the loom of fate

Noli temeray Malam said temay heroa

tell that to what did he call himself

Jenkins

he'll understand

with the disqualification of Amy Myers Project

for its flagrant disregard of the safety of her

fellow students and bystanders

and Lucinda Mccabe according to this note

taken away to the hospital for her injuries

we will award the winner of the fair

based on the decision of our remaining judges

the county librarians

the winner of the sixth annual Chicago Land stem fair

is

Leonard Cole Leonard yes

haha Leonard

where's that trophy

hey hey

good job with the pentagram

it was easy

maybe too easy oh

that was science project of the day

and you saved everybody's lives

so I think that deserves

how first place in in the category of Mathematics

Mathematics

I like it

you stole this didn't you

yeah I stole it

but you want it without a doubt so focus on that

that was a mistake

we saved 100 lives and doomed our next thousand victims

you had her for the first time in centuries

she was caught off guard I am a guardian

I am not a hired gun I am not here just to kill

and if she's so terrible why are the two of you so cozy

we've both lived a long time

paths crossed my experience

you don't hate strangers quite that much

she said the end of the world is coming

Logan has many vices but she never have her lies

she also had a little love note for you

Noli Timoray Malam said to me heroa

what does that mean

do not fear the villain

fear the hero

the end and end is coming Colonel

and trust me if you do not learn how to fight the war

instead of just winning the battles

none of us will survive
